years, she has averaged five to six
cents more than South Carolina and
received $13,3G7 900 more than this
state.
The association is committed this
year to policy which is cxpccted to
effect tremendous Improvement in
the industry in South Carolina. It
urges the growers to plant only the

out the poor quality stuff which bears

FOCAL EUROPEAN AFFAIRS

From that same quarter in Wash
ington which announced last Friday
the Presidents interest in an Associa-
tion Of Nations. and which plainly en-
Joys unrestricted access to the Presl-
dents mind. IL is now announced that
MIR. Harding has no intention either
To rival or 20 undermine the League
of Nations. In so far as plans have
crystallized in the White House, this
Association would consist of the
League of Nations plus the United
States. The tie between the two is tol
be voluntary. The League is 10 con-
Germ itself with local European affairs
the Association. with the world.
To illustrate MIR. Hardng's probable
conception of local European affairs
our correspondent, speaking on the
basis OF information obtained in the
authoritative quarter we have men
toned, cites the case of Silesia. From
the Supreme Councils action on that
issue Col. Harvey held aloof because
Silesia did not concern the United
states. Is proof needed? Here II is.
You start with Silesia as a factor in
Germany's ability to pay reparations,
and from reparations you move on to
economic conditions In Germany and
I'm Europe generally, and from that
you move on to the business OF stab
iliZing exchange in relation To rcpar :
ton payments. for which purpose we
will send an observer. Mr.. Boyden has
done a good deal OF observing for the
| United States. Then we move on to an
| international economic and financial
conference in which America will par
ticipate. Obviously Silesia Is a purely
local affair.
| Or you start with Silesia as a factor
in disarmament. To guarantee the
Silesian decision France feels she must
keep up large army, and American
opinion remains notoriously uncon-
cerned because France feels that way
BRAND at Washington notoriously
made no mention of Silesia, or of Lu-
dendorff. or of the Allied disarmament
commission. or of the German army
or Of the German militia-all of them
purely local affairs for Europe.
| IL may well be that the Association
Of Nations will differ from the League
in the fact that Americas parlicipa
tion win be voluntary. But II is a
waste of time 10 draw distinctions be-
tween local European affairs and world
affairs. We know to our cost that Eu-
rope is very much in the world and
that the Association of Nations, when
IL comes, will have to give some at
tention to the continent on which
Sere jevo is situated.--New York Even.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

Speaking OF our foreign trade, Capt.
Robert Dollar. In talking TO the Com
monwcalth Club the other day, said
the only way to get II was to provide
the necessary facilities and then get
out and flght for b usiness. And Capt,
Dollar knows. All his life, and he In
not a particularly young man, he has
been hunting for foreign trade, find-
Ing It. providing for 1t and getting Il.
Whoever waits for foreign trade To
hunt him up and come to him will die
poor. And In respect TO foreign trade
the time has come when II has an Inn
portance for us which Il formerly lack
I'd. While we were settling up n con-
tlnent. very largely on borrowed
money, domestic demand was nearly
equal to supply. and the borrowed
money paid the bills. Our surplus pro-
duction flnally paid eff our foreign
debts. Now we owe no mcrey "a
foreigners. and II we sell we must
take pay In cash or goods.
And, quoting former Secretary Red
