vested with intensive individuality,
and the seven sinewS of Americanism
are, Our ancestery. our history, in
dividuality, property. modernity. and
spiritually, and they act like the
great cord holding together the ana
tony of AmericaniSm. our nation"
said Mr.. Olsen, lis composed of two
main streams. the refugee and i'm
migrant. The refugee came to us
because of the rebellions of the
European autocracy, the soul being
fired with conviction. courage and
character, the immigrant is with us
because of his ambitions and the
spirit of adventure. These make uni
que components in the formation OF
our modern nation. the United States
of America. We have today an al
most eXhausting store of men. ma
terial, money, muscle, and mechanics
which make us conspictiously the
most outstanding modern nation in
the world. The council of our great
nation is now sought by every mod
ern nation and still we continue to
stock our country with life. intensity
and idealism. So it is little wonder
that we today command the world
in the struggle of modernism.
Our inventors filled and enthused
with the unseeming whine which fills
their whole bodies with an energy to
create.
In conclusion Mr. Olsen stated that
in America life is like an undevelop-
ed, untutored child, needing the care
and training of our untiring energy.

are. Thinking as some folks think
does not just happen. Great things
never happen. Thought is the era
die OF life, and there is nothing
under the sun ever happened or was
ever done by man unless thought
had entered into it. At the back of
every imaginable thing stands the
foundation thought. The humane
progress is just q chain of romance.
and this world is a grand good
place; the silvery sky. the fragrant
flowers. and the little children dane
ing and playing around their homes
are all stops in the organ of the
world.
Can man think what he wants
to-" asks Mr.. Olsen. and answering
his own question says, Yes if he de-
sires. Thought changes the chem
istry OF the body and gives the
tongue the power to announce it to
the world" He explained that the
thoughts Of the great inventors was
what created the invention. A man
or woman never gets anywhere I'M
less their psychology gets them
there. THE key to conquest" he
said. may be optimism and health
helps to conquer" He spoke of the
care that the parents must exercise
in bringing up their children. and
said that they must not in any way
brighten them in their younger days.
The man who thinks on the blue
side of everything seldom reaches
the heights. but the man or woman
who sees the bright side of cloud S
lining can not be kept down. These
are principals cut deep, in the oldest
parehments Of time. You never saw
a man or woman who climbed high
but what had assets unrealized, and
faith is n program of everybody. Mr..
Olsen then spoke on the power of
the mind and the proper training
that 1t should be given. AS a public
speaker he is one of the best that has
visited the city of Waterville for a
long time and the club feel that they
should feel grateful on having had
the opportunity to hear such fine
talk. In the afternoon Mr.. Olsen

Some Curiosities of World International Trade
AGMsN
YORK
!, - J. .,s..c CITY s..H

Announcement that a big con-
signment of butter from the other
side of the globe is now crossing
the Pacific from New Zealand to
New York, calls attention to the
increasing detail in which the COM
mon products of the various sec
tions of the world are now being
interchanged. While we have been
congratulating the American cow
upon the fact that she has since the
beginning of the war supplied a
half billion dollars worth of her
products for the foreign trade, we
now find that the cows Of other
parts Of the globe are quietly in
vading our own markets by unac-
customed routes and that they have
sent us 120 million dollars worth
of their products while we were
sending 500 million dollars worth
of our own dairy products to other
markets, especially those of Eu-
rope. We sent $50 million dollars
worth OF butter, cheese, condensed
milk and other dairy products out
of the country in 1919, and in the
following year, 1920, Australia,
New Zealand. Argentina, Brazil,
Colombia, Mexico, Canada and
certain European countries sent US
so million dollars worth of the
products of their dairy industries.
And the reports of big shipments
now on the way from the dairy
farms of New Zealand indicate that
the great dairy industry of that
country does not find even the
equator and the long trip across
the Pacific a bar to a permanent
movement Of their products to our
markets, despite the fact that TIE
outturn of our butter, cheese and
condensed milk factories aggregated
over, billion dollars value in the
last census year, 1919, while the &C.

tails of that census shows that we
produced in 1919 6,S94, 600, 900 gal
Ions of milk, l,628,000,O0O pounds
OF butter and 480,00O,0OO pounds of
cheese. A little more than one
half Of the butter produced in the
United States is the product of the
factories and the remainder from
the farms. while Of the cheese
products of the country about nine
tenths are of factory production.
Eggs are another class of farm
products which are being sent from
the other side of the globe to this
greatest agricultural country of the
world. Our importation of eggs
in the single year 1921 was over
3 million dozen in the natural state,
most of them coming from China,
Japan and Australia, while frozen
or dried eggs entering the country
were also chiefly from China, and
have averaged about S million dol
lars year value, despite the fact
that the number of eggs supplied
by the American hen now averages
about 20 billion a year.
Peanuts are another example of
the free interchange of articles con-
s;dered of minor importance. The
United States produces from 35,-
0C0, 900 to $4,000, 900 bushels a year,
yet our importation of peanuts in
the past decade has amounted to
n million dollars value. and of pea
nut oil 81 million dollars. while our
exports of peanuts in the same
period were nearly 10 million dol
lars though of peanut oil the guam.
tity exported was comparatively
small.
Eristles are still another curiosity
Of international trade. We are the
worlds greatest producer of swine

slaughter every year, yet the quail
ity of the bristles of the razor
back" swine OF the Orient differs
so much from that of the refined
American hog that our importation
of bristles, chiefly for use in the
manufacture of brushes, now
ranges from to 10 million dollars
every year and has in the past
decade totaled nearly 50 million
dollars, very large proportion
coming to US from China.
In many other articles we are
constantly bringing into the coun1
try considerable quantities of mer-
chandise of which we are already
the worlds largest producer Our
underground coal supply equals
that of all the balance Of the world
yet the northern border of the
United States imports considerable
quantities of coal from Canada; we
are the worlds largest producer of
copper yet we import quantities of
copper especially from South
America. Mexico, and even the
Orient largely because of our bet
ter smelling and refining facilities;
we are the worlds largest pro-
Queer of petroleum yet we are
bringing large quantities constantly
from Mexico; we hold high rank as
a lumber and timber producing
country yet we are constantly inn
porting lumber in quantities from
our next-door neiRhbor, Can.
ada, and wood pulp from Canals
and the Scandinavian countries.
Nearly all of these articles which
we are adding to our own domestic
supply of food or manufacturing
material comes from non-manufac
turing countries and are thus paid
for in large degree by the products
OF our factories. .---

Taxation a Necessary Evil

tended to controvert this. It is of
great importance however, that it
shall be generally understood that
reductions of the working capital
of the country make everybody in
the country poorer. The wealth
employed in industry is social
wealth, no matter who owns it.
Not until it is withdrawn for phi
vate consumption does it cease to
yield social benefits. The Soviet
revolutionists of Russia had the
DRY that leadership in industry
counted for nothing, and that
wealth under private control was
of no value to anybody but the
owners. They were resolved to
bring everyone down to a common
level. and had their minds 80 in,
tcntly fixed upon distribution that
they gave no thought to produc-
ton. They proceeded to take out,

they were doing their work, and
the result has been the most ter
rible national tragedy of all his
tory. The Soviet leaders have
modified their policies very materi-
ally in the past year as the result
of practical experience. The Same
old doctrine, however. is wide
spread in the United States, and
the clamor for increased taxation
of wealth is largely by people who
favor it as means of dissipating
or distributing the Accommodations
of wealth that exist. The country
will not be safe from such pro-
posals until the fundamental fall

| ter have gotten the capital out OF,
the industries, and the Government
could have gotten it in no better
way.
| Down to this point, then, there
doesn't appear to be any real
ground for complaint of what
these private proprietors have
| done. They have been wideawake
and enterprising in supplying GER.
tain public demands. If it should
be said that they might have been
satisfied with smaller profits, the|
answer is that if profits had BEEN
lower the expansion of the indus
try would have been slower, the
supply of products would have
been smaller. and prices would
have been higher instead of lower.
Prices are not fixed arbitrarily, and
the best price for both producers
and consumers is the price at
which demand and supply meet
the price that clears the market.
If the market is above that, a por-
ton of the product is unsold, and
if below, the wants of the public
cannot be fully met.
1t will be said, probably, that
this is all very we'll so far, butt
that these great properties, thus
created, belong to the proprietors,
and that whenever the latter
choose to change this policy of
devoting profits to production they
can do so. and proceed to with
draw, divide and consume the earn
ings thereafter. That is true, and,
is the very point to which we are
directing attention. II is only
when private capital ceases to be
capital, ceases to be used produc-
lively, and is converted into some-l
thing to be consumed by the own
ers, that its employment for public
purposes ceases. g.. -
This being so, what logic is there:
in disturbing a corporation SUR
plus which is employed in q pro-
ductive industry, for the purpose
of forcing it out of that employ
ment into the hands of the in
dividual shareholders? The poll
icy would be disruptive of the in
dustrial organization. and while it
would procure immediate funds for,
the treasury it would be taking
funds from a public use, rather
than. as fancied by the advocates
OF the policy, from the service of
the owners.
