Recovery in Europe.

That economic conditions and pros
pects in Europe are not as desperate
as has been believed is made manifest
by facts and figures submitted at yes
terday's cabinet meeting by Mr..
Hoover, the Secretary of Commerce.
On the contrary, foreign trade statis-
tics show that the European nations
are steadily increasing their exports
of manufactured commodities to this
country in exchange for the foodstuffs
and raw materials which they must
have from US, and Secretary Hoover
foresees a not distant day when the
value of goods shipped to the United
States may equal and pass the value
of goods purchased here, and we may
be called upon to export gold in set
tlement of trade balances.
I In addition to the steadily increas-
ing output of manufactures, Europe's S
ability to buy from America Is helped
by the invisible" items Of exchange,
such as. the expenditures abroad OF
American tourists, the remittances of
immigrants and the losses suffered by
American gamblers in deprecated
currencies, SO that the prospects are
for steady improvement in the Euro
pean market for the product OF Amer
ican farms and mines and mills. Even
a considerable amount of gold could
be shipped to Europe in settlement OF
toit n
benefit to American industry. Our
present stock of gold amounts to about
s3,077, 100000. The minimum legal re-
ouirement to maintain our currency
and credit is about 81, 500, 100000. The
very high security of go per cent
reserve requires only about s2,4O0,-
900. 900, so that we still have sur
plus Of something like 100000, 900
which Europe badly needs and we can
well spare. With steadily increasing
ability to supply her wants from this
country by sending US goods in ex-
change, a relatively small supply OF
gold from us would start Europe's 8
.currencies on the way to stabilization
and would tend to speedy solution OF
many problems which, have appeared
insoluble.
incidentally, it is worthy of note
that this improvement in trade with
Europe is taking place under the new
tariff Law, opponents Of which have
charged that it not only would pre-
vent Europe selling to US, but would
make it impossible for Europe to pur-
chase our .surpluses. Also Mr.. Hoover's S
data are worth studying by those who
would adventure this country upon
extraordinary and doubtful undertak-
ings in the hope Of opening up the
European markets. It would seem
that the healing processes of time al.
ready have the patient on the road to
recovery, and the injection Of an arti-
f1cial sttmulant at this period might
do a great deal more harm than good.
Evening star., 1922-12-27

has never been chosen for this par
ticular game lies in the fact that an
agreement was long ago made be-
tween the two academies that the con.
test should never be held south Of
Philadelphia; supposedly for the pur-
pose Of equalizing the distance be-
tween the two official seats OF learn
ing. In fact, however, it is now point
ed out, Annapolis has not been bene-
fitted by this rule as greatly as West
Point, inasmuch as under it New
York could be chosen for the game,
entailing a much shorter travel from
West Point than from Annapolis. On
the other hand, Philadelphia is farther
from West Point.
1t would seem that the question of
distance from the two academies
should not govern. These games are
not particularly for the benefit Of the
students of the two institutions. the
military and naval cadets, but for the
public generally. which divides in par.
tisanship according to affiliations IT.
respective of location. Washington is
both an Army and a Navy city, the
headquarters Of both services, the
home of present and past members Of
both. An Army-Navy game held here
would be definitely on equal ground
and would draw crowds to the capac-
ity of the accommodations.
Whatever agreement may. be en-
forced now can be changed to permit
the selection of Washington as the Of
ficial scene of the annual Army-Navy
contest. Provision of special accom-
modations at the ball park could be
made to bring the seating capacity up
to 10000 and standing room for many
thousands more. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that Congress will in the near
future provide for the construction of
a great stadium, and meanwhile the
Army Navy game could be played in
circumstances to assure a satisfactory
contest with a capacity" attendance.

The Postal Peak

Figures Of the pre-Christmas postal
service given by Postmaster Chance
show some interesting facts relating
to the capitals use Of the mails. First
Of all is the fact that the letter mail
