OUR FOREIGN TRADE

Though the foreign trade of the
United States reached record heights
for 1920, there is a general conviction
among exporters and importers that
the figures for the year, and more par
ticularly for the month of December,
fall far short of rejecting the present
condition of the country's foreign
trade. according to the Guaranty Trust
Company's semi monthly international
trade survey. American Goods and
Foreign Markets" Regardless of what
circumstances may have contributed
to maintain the large volume of ex-
ports, the bank says, it remains that
sound trade cannot continue indefi-
nitely on the short term credit basis
which has characterized our foreign
business during the last year.
The survey analyses last years
trade, in part, as follows; The 1920
figures demonstrate. of course, that
our customers overseas are in such
immediate need OF our goods that OBJ
stacles of prices and exchange condi-
lions have somehow been, to a large
degree surmounted. But what is of
more vital Significance, they further
demonstrate the need of American
producers and manufacturers for mar
kets for their goods. Business under
last years conditions. however large
in volume, cannot be permanently
maintained.
December has added more than
S400,000,000 to the already vast favor
able trade balance of the United
States, and coming months will wit
ness further additions to the amount
dueaus from the rest Of the worid. al,

Him katie's Old Romance.
I stared aghast at my little maid,
Katie, when she asked me to tell jim
Gregg, whom she was TO marry, the
story of the bogus marriage into
which she had been trapped when a
girl of sixteen in her native Poland.
Why, Katie" / stammered, Il hard

next moment more serious thought
the girls artlessness was assumed.
that her premonition of aJims inter-
probation of her story was based upon
her own secret knowledge of the facts
in the case, and that the very plaus-
ible tale she had told me was only
a cloak for a more sinister story.
But one look at the girls tear-suf-
fused eyes uplifted to mine made me
ashamed of my doubt of her. But,
womanlike I could not resist voicing
the doubt.
Katie" I said gently, Took at me-.
It was a superfluous command. for
the girls eyes We're already fixed upon
mine. Their expression changed, how

them a look of calm dignity.

A Friend is one who's lived awhile
And learned a world of stuff;

A Friend Is one who's tried you out;
Who's heard your every plan;

doubt,
And says. II like that man"

Yet tells you you're a sinner;
And after that, as like as not,
