Bloc is word which has recently
come into use in this country. We i'm
Dorted it from France. We do not yet
know how much it is going to cost u.s. 1t
is not unlikely that the bloc will prove to
be very expensive as trouble maker, If
not in cash, not only in Congress, but in
business. 1t will be found later on that
there are divers, sundry and many blocs,
hut the Agricultural bloc is the one we
have in mind just now. 1t made its ap-
pearance in the senate of the United
States about month ago, and thought

Jake Brooks, a negro who worked in

lynched January IA. Twelve days later,
five men, two negroes and three white
men who had been arrested for completely
in the affair, were srraigned. They plead
guilty and were sentenced to life impris-
onment. This is the way to put stop
to lynchines. No State which deals out

QUOTATION

Is your spirit bowed by grief,
Try again
Rally quick for life is brief,
Try again;
Every saint in yonder sphere,
Borne through tribulation there,
whispers in the anxious ear
OF each mortal in despair,
Try again.
What though stricken to the earth,
Try again
Up, a. from q second birth,
Try again.
Yonder flower beneath the tread,
Struaaling when the foot is gone,
Rising feebly in its bed.
Tells the helpless lookers-on
Try again.
Guided by the hand of Right,
Try again,
With Hopes taper for light,
Try again.
With . destiny like ours,
And that destiny to choose,
With such God-creatsd powers.
And a Heaven to gain or lose,
Try again.

JUNGLE SAM NOT A TIGHTwAD

Some of the foreign newspapers are
"a ying that the United States is selfish
and is not doing its share toward the res
toration of normal industrial conditions
: in Europe. They tell US that European
business is languishing for want of credit,
meaning, of course, loans of cash and
10 ns time credits for the varied products
of the soil and of the factory. Evidently
they do not consider the fact that our
national government has, during the last
seven years, given them credits for more
than $40, ,0O0, 0OO, 600, and that our busi-
ness men during that time have bought
their bonds and have given their business
men credits for s., OOO 600, at least. Fur
thermore our capitalists are willing to
extend and are extending to foreign in
,dividuals and to foreign corporations all
the credits which the financial standing
of the borrower will Justify. Just one
illustration will prove this concusively.
In the year 1921 our exports were S4, $780,
:OOO, 900 and our imports were 81, 500. .00O,-
900. The balance of trade in our favor
was 81, 900, 600, 600. Of this balance we
received s667, 600. 900 in gold and silver,
and the remainder, 81, 1888, 000, 600, has
not yet been paid. 1t is 'credit" ac-
corded to the people who are complaining
of the selfishness of the United States
and her people. 1t was only yesterday
when we read that an American firm had
contracted to furnish railroad equipment
to Poland and extended credit thereon
for a period of ten years. Foreign ma
tions and foreign business men ought to
realize by this time that America has
been their unselfish friend They ought
to realize, also, that American purse
strings will be tightly drawn if they de-
mur against the refunding of the sums
owed to the American government, into
long time bonds at such low rate OF in
*erest as will be offered.

international Financing.

British and American bankers prob
ably will be In joint account on most Of
the large international loans OF the
future. American bankers are ready to
admit that II will be very difficult to
compete with London now that the
money market abroad Is in "A more
liquid state, and that II would be more
desirable TO work with English bankers
than against them. II ~ quite likely
that the s10o,00o.00o loan to Argentina
may be divided between the two coun-
tries. Investment conditions In England
are entirely different than those existing
in this country. London bankers have
many things In their favor In compet-
ing with American bankers. England
needs little money internally, as there
are few new projects from year to year
requiring capital. therefore wealth In
Great Britain is constantly pIling up and
the only outlet is In foreign loans
Moreover. tho British are well schoolod
in foreign investments and they do not
expect the high yield that American in
vestors demand. This enables British
bankers TO bid high for securities OF
foreign nations.

BUSINESS CONTINUES
TO BE SATISFACTORY
Activity Is Transferred to Re-
tail Channels.

The general business situation is re-
ported satisfactory by trade reviews.
which note the transfer OF activity from
primary TO retail channels as a seasonal
development. The movement Of goods to
consumers has been speeded and holiday
buying already is making its appearance.
Brodstreets reports that collections
are triGe better. feeling the effect OF
recent treer crop marketing and the in
flow of money TO final distributors.
Opinions differ slightly as. to the de-
grees OF activity recently. but primary
lines very generally seem to have
reached their peak IN October. whereas
jobbIng trade seems 10 have been better
in November, preparing for the expected
largest month OF the year at retail, De-
cember."
DuTt's RevtotO says that "the final
month OF the year begins with the usual
seasonal characteristics OF stimulated re-
tail distribution and diminished demand
in most other channels. With lower tenn
peratures and development Of holiday re-
qurements the movement OF goods to
consumers is expanding and favorable
results In this field are foreshadowed."

New Government Financing. y

Announcement by the Treasury De-
partment of it's plan for raising funds
for meeting $1,000, 5000 OF obligations 9
maturing before the first of the year Is
expected within the next week. 1t is be-
lieved likely that II Will be made not
later than Monday. December II. The
called Victory notes are to be redeemed
on December is. Secretary Mellon has
not yet decided on the terms OF the
new Government financing. Wall
Streets best guess Is that the Treasury
will seek to raise about $500, 900, 900 by
the sale of short term paper. The
bulk of that amount, 1t is believed,
will be In short term notes and the
balance In three and four year certlfi-
Gates. 1t is thought that unless the
money market undergoes some change
between now and the date OF the new
offering the interest rate may be AZ
per- cent. Bankers would like to see the
certificates brought out with a Az per
