FOREIGN TRADE DECLINES
IN VALUE, NOT IN QUANTITY
Director Julius Klein Analyses Con-
ditions In American Commerce
for Last Fiscal Year.

The decline OF three billion dollars
in the value Of American foreign
trade in the last fiscal year as COM
pared with the year preceding has
been caused by lower prices rather
than diminished quantities, in the
opinion of DR.. julius Klein, whose
flrst anual report as director of the
bureau OF foreign and domestic COM
merce or the Department of Com
merce was made public yesterday
In TACT" says DIR. Klein, "a COM
pilation Of exported commodities, re-
duced. so far as possible, to a ouan-
tity basis, shows weight increases of
"a per cent for the groups of raw
materials and 81 per cent for food
stuffs in 1921 over 1920. with a de-
crease Of per cent for such partly
or wholly Manufactured articles as
can be shown in weight"
1T will surprise many pessimists
to learn" declares DIR. Klein. that
the final totals in this compila ton
which included articles forming 6s
per cent OF the value of domestic ex-
ports in 1921. indicated that the ex-
cent in quantity over the amounts
sold last year. though their value de-
creased - per cent"
The world wide exchange situation.
revived competition in foreign mar
kets and decreased demand for
American raw materials on the part
of Europe, combined with a drastic
cut in American imports of raw ma.
terials. are the principal factors con-
tributing to the lower foreign trade
totals, says the director.
The director refers to the fiscal
year 1920-31 as 1.-The most dramatic
in the entire history of the foreign
trade Of the United States" He says
that the extraordinary episodes of
that year in our business overseas"
resulted in a most severe strain upon
the facilities of the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, first. as
a consequence Of tho "amazing
strides" made by American export
interests during the early months of
the year. and. secondly, as a result
of the disorganization and confusion
which spread throughout the markets
of the world with the accompanying
panic of cancellations during the
period of depression which marked
the closing months of the year.

President Harding has accepted the
Interpretation put upon the four
power treaty relating to the Pacific
by the American delegates to the
Washington conference, to the effect
that the main islands Of Japan are
included In the scope Of that treaty.
This fact was contained in an an
nouncement made at the White House
last night. There is absolutely no
dent and the American delegates. it
was made clear today. The statement
issuing from the White House fol-
lows:
when the President was respond
ing to press Inquiries at the after
noon interview today. he expressed
the opinion that the homeland of Japan
did not come within the words in
sular possessions and insular domin-
ions under the four-party agree
ment, except as territory proper of
any otter nation which is party to
the agreement. This expression has
been emphasized as division be-
tween the President and the dele
gates to the conference in constituting
the four-party agreement.
''The President announced tonight
Inat the QlU eFenCe IN view IN no wise
will be permitted to embarrass the
conference or the ratification of the
agreement. He had assumed all
along that the spirit Of the conference
contemplates confidence which
pledges respect of territory in every
way which tends to promote lasting
peace.
"He has learned from the United
States delegates to the conference
that they have agreed to the con-
struction which includes the home
land of Japan in the term .insular
possessions and insular dominions.'
and has no objection to that construc-
ton.
Talks With Delegation.
1t is known that the President
talked with members of the American
delegation following his interview
with the newspaper correspondents
and that the matter of the treaty in
depreciation was gone into fully. 3
An effort has been made in some.
quarters to make it appear that by
the inclusion of Japan's homeland in
the terms of the treaty. there is given
to Japan guarantee Of the preserva-
tion of her territory by the other
powers signatory to the treaty. This,
according to the American delegates.
and to the Japanese also. is wholly

HARDING ACCEPTS
INTERPRETATION ON TREATY
White House Makes Clear There Is No
Conflict With Delegates on Opinion on
Scope of Four-Power Agreement.

without foundation in fact. The
treaty merely provides that each of
the four powers shall respect the
rights of the others in the Pacific
islands and dominions, including ia
pan. Australia. New Zealand. the
Philippines. etc. In the event or
dispute arising between any OF these
powers, or in the event OF any dis
pute between one of the powers and
an outside power, it is agreed to meet
and talk the situation over. There
is no promise. implied or in fact. that
the nations are to take up arms in
defense of one another contained in
the treaty. This was made clear by
Senator Lodge of the American dele
cation when he laid the four-power
treaty before the conference for ap-
proval.
Japan Made No Request.
Az . matter of fact, 1t has been learn
ed that Japan made no request for the
inclusion Of her homeland in the pro-
visions of the treaty. The suggestion
was made particularly by the British,
and New Zealand. dominions of the en-
pire-not possessions in the strict sense
Of the word-and asked that the Ian
guage "inSular possessions and inSular
dominions in the region of the Pacific
ocean be used.
~DOmintOnH" Explained.
The term 'dominions." it Is held by
the delegates covers the homeland of
Japan. In other words. the insular
dominions of Japan in the region of
the Pacific is Japan itself.
When the four-power treaty comes
up for consideration in the Senate. it
IL expected that this matter will be
discussed fully. 1t was suggested to-
day. however. that if the United
States Great Britain and France have
agreed to respect the possessions of
Japan, there is no very good reason
that can be advanced why they
should not also agree to respect Japan
itself.
If there is opposition to this. how
ever, it probably will take the usual
form of reservation" offered by
the opponents of the present con-
struction of the treaty. and the Senate
will be called upon to vote on this
reservation before voting on the
treaty itself.
Baron Kato. head of the Japanese
delegation, refused last night to COM
ment upon the Interpretation of the
treaty as to whether it included the
Japanese homeland or not. He con-
tented himself with saying that the
treaty was now before his home gov
ernmen. for Interpretation in all its de-
tails.

SAGE TEA TURNS

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hum
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at small cost, all
ready for use. It is called Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's' Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
You simply dampen d sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation 1t becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This

BLADDER BOTHER
Take glass of Salts to flush out your
Kidneys and neutralize irri.
tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up ali irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread. the
water passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call It.
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This viii neJtralize the acids in
the urine so . no longer is a source of
Irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia. and
as used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric; acid irritation. Jad Salts is spleR-

effects whatever.
