Foreign trade figures Of the United
States in the calendar year 1921 show
an appalling reduction in their stated
value of the merchandise entering
and leaving the country. In no sim
gle year in the history OF our foreign
trade. a y the Trade Record Of The
National City Bank Of New York.
have the official figures shown such a
percentage Of reduction. The total
foreign trade of the country. imports
and exports combined, stood at 1914
billion dollars in the calendar year
1920, the highest total ever reached,
and eleven months figures ending with
November, 1921, justify the assertion
that the total for the full year just
ending will not exceed $7.000.000.-
900, and will probably fall a little be-
low that total as against IAN billion
dollars one year earlier.
The reduction in the total values
of the merchandise entering and leav-
ing the country in 1921 will be about
49,; in imports the reduction will
be approximately 53% and in exports
45T. 8 ~
This fall off in the values Of the
foreign trade in 1921, when COM
pared with 1920, extends to every
great group of articles, both in i'm
ports and exports. Raw manufac-
turing material imported shows a
fall off Of about $50 in total values;
foodstuffs 63%, and manufactures 43
%. these figures being of our in
very round terms, the smaller reduc-
ton in manufactures being due to the
fact that importers are bringing in
large quantities of manufactures in
anticipation of a higher tariff. On
the export side, manufacturing ma
terial shows a fall of 49,, foodstuffs
33%, and manufactures 51%, these
figures as TO exports being also neces-
sarily in very round terms.
Considering the trade of the coun-
try with the grand divisions. imports
from Europe show a fall of 38 20,
from North America 54%, from South
America 64%, and from Asia and Oc-
enania $50. Exports to Europe show
a decline of 45%, to North America
40%, to South America 56%, and to
Asia and Oceania 39%.
The general causes of this tremend-
Gus decline in the value of every
group of articles imported or export
ed and also a reduction in the trade
with every grand division Of the
world, lie primarily, say the banks
statement, in the fact that the prices

REVIEW OF u. S FOREIGN TRADE IN 1921

per unit of quantity r in most Of
the important articles less than half
those of a year ago and that in many
instances a given quantity of mer-
chandise being now imported is Yal-
ued at less than half that at the same
date last year. Our biggest imports
are OF course, In manufacturing ma
~terials, india rubber, hides and skins,
wool, raw silk, raw cotton. hbers, and
tin. The rubber imported In October,
1921, entered at IA cents per pound
against 81 cents in the same month
of last year; cattle hides at 10h
cents a pound against % cents; card
ing wool at IA cents q pound against
40 cents a year ago: combing wool in
September, 1921, (no imports In Oc-
tober) at 20 cents per pound against
66 cents n year earlier; raw cotton
in September 16 " cents against san
cents in September of the preceding
year; tin 27h cents a pound against
So cents a year earlier; manila hemp
s135 per ton against 1910 n year
earlier; the only important manufac-
turing material which has failed to
show a big fall of being raw silk. In
foodstuffs conditions are similar. the
sugar imports of October, 1921, w.
eraging two and eight tenths cents
per pound against 1873 cents in Oc-
tober Of the preceding year, while in
other articles of food there is a ma
terial reduction but lone as great as
that of sugar, which by the way is the
biggest single article Of foodstuffs i'm
ported.
The fall off in values of the prin-
cipal articles exported is equally strik-
ing and an equally important factor
in the causes Of the decline, wheat
exported in November going at $1.1S
per bushel as against $3.50 in No
vember of last year; corn In October
at 60 cents per bushel against 1913
in the same month of the preceding
year; cotton at 20 cents a pound
against 80 cents n year earlier, and
bacon at IS cents a pound against %
cents a year earlier.
OF course, adds the banks state
ment, these big reductions in the val
ues per unit of quantity of the ar
ticles imported and exported. are not
the only causes of the big fall off, for
there are many actual reductions in
quantities, and this is due to the de-
creased purchasing power Of our own
farmers and wage arne and also to
the big reduction in the imports Of the
countries to which our exports are
sent.

UNBALANCED INDUSTRY


The principal factor in the depres-
sion is within the control of the Amer
lean people. It exists in the unbal-
anced relationship between the prices
of farm and other primary products
on the n hand and the prices Of
manufactured goods, transportation
service and various other products
and services on the other hand. The
final estimates of the Department Of
Agriculture upon the 1921 crops give
them a market value to the farmers
$4,000, 600, 900 below the value Of the
crop of 1919 and $1,000. zoe, 600 be-
low the value of the crop of 1920.
These are figures of great significance.
The farmers have produced nearly as
much in quantity. but 1t has been
valued in the exchanges at less than
one-half the figures of 1919. AS 9TH
er products and services have not de-
clined In like degree. the farmers
must buy much less. and all the in
dustries are suffering In consequence.
1t is useless to expect a return to
normal conditions while this dispar-
ity Of compensation between great
bodies of producers exists. 1t is un-
fair and II establishes an effective
blockage against a revival of bust
ness 1t is time that the business
community took cognizance of the
situation. and set itself to the task of
correcting 1t. The argument that
stock on hand was purchased at high
er prices has lost whatever force It
ever had. Merchants who are inter-
ested in the return of prosperity
should do their part for 1t. and one of
their duties is to reduce operating
COSTS,
In large part the situation is
chargeable to the action of organized
labor in clinging to the wartime
wage rates. Raw materials and food
stuffs have had a great decline at
Wholesale, but between the wholesale
markets and consumers the cost of
handling and manufacturing has not
declined In like proportions. The ef-
feet is to obstruct the distribution of
goods and throw millions of wage
earners out of employment. at the
same time keeping up the cost of liv-
ing on the entire wage-earning popu-
latfon. In the aggregate there is no
gain but a great loss. to the wage
earners as q class.

YOUR HEART DOES
THIS EVERY DAY

The wonderful announcement that
science is on the eve Of far-reaching
discoveries which may reveal the sec
rets Of heart disease was recently
made in the House of Commons by
Captain Elliott, when speaking
against the Dogs'vivisection Bill,
which threatened to stop further ex-
periments.
1t has been proved that the heart
beat in man and the heartbeat in a
dog are almost identical; and inves-
LEGATIONS of the secret of the rhythm
of the heart and the disturbance in
that rhythm prove the cause of heart
disease.
These remarkable discoveries,
which may bring about complete rev.
olution in medicine, are the work of
DIR. Thomas Lewis, of University Col
lege Hospital. London. Although I'M
der forty, DR.. Lewis is one of the
greatest authorities on the heart.
Like most great men, he does not
court publicity, and had 1t not been
necessary for the nature of his dis
coveries to be disclosed in order to
defeat the Dogs'Vivisection Bill,
which threatened to stop his work,
the world would not have heard of
them.
We have DR.. Lewis's assurance that
the animals experience no suffering
of any kind, the operations being per-
formed under surgical anesthesia.
Few people realize that the human
heart is a marvellous pumping engine.
Its work, from a mans cradle to his
grave, is incessant and stupendous.
On an average, each human heart
beats about $500 times an hour!
Every single minute. after It's sew
enty-five heart-beats. this wonderful
engine has pumped $50 cubic inches
of blood. This means that the heart
pumps over 225.000 cubic feet of
blood every year.
Think of the heart as a water
pump. By the same reckoning 1t
would pump, approximately. no less
than Z, 900 tons of water in the course
Of a year.
II 1t were possible to collect in a
cubical reservoir all the blood pump
ed by a human heart in one year, that
reservoir would be 81 feet square
large enough to contain about 1,70O,-
600 gallons OF water.
There are about 100000. 900 peo-
pie in the world. If all the blood
pumped in n year by these seven
teen hundred million hearts could be
collected into n reservoir, that res
ervoir would have to be 1880 feet
square.
Some idea of its size may be gath
cred when 1t is remembered that Mt.
Everest. the highest peak In the
world. would with its $4,000 feet of
height. be dwarfed beside a reser-
voir 1880 feet hight

THE KISS

A kiss Is a peculiar proposition, Of
NO use to one, yet absolute bliss to
two. The small boy gets 1t for moth
ing; the young man has to steal 4;
the old man has to buy 1t. The babys
right, the lovers privilege, the hypo-
critics mask. To a young girl faith,
to a married woman hope, to a widow
joy, to an old maid charity.

which is a sufficient explanation Of
the great fall in price of that COM
modify.
1t cannot be confidently affirmed
that the foreign demand for our pro-
ducts will increase in 1922 or even be
maintained at the level of the past
year. AS to foodstuffs much will de-
pend upon European harvests. Ag-
riculture will be restored everywhere
but in Russia. The purchasing pow
er Of Europe seems to depend
chiefly upon mastering the currency
problem, but there is q strong pre-
sumption that the countries will man
age to export enough of their own
products to buy food necessary to
keep their people from starving.
One factor of Importance in 1921
which probably will be reduced in
1922 is the importations of gold. In
1921 they aggregated yer $500, 0OO,-
900. This gold is believed to have
come largely from Russia, and that
source of supply must be nearly ex-
hausted. OF the current output of
the mines of South Africa and Aus
tralia, we probably will continue to
get a share.

GREELEY TORN BY DISPUTE
OVER MOVIE CENSOR

Greeley, March 10:-For the first
time in four years there is split in
the Greeley city council as result Of
tight to oust the city movie censor,
Mrs. Elsie Tew. A milton to drop Mrs.
Tew from the list of city employees,
made by Alderman C. S. Buchanan,
was lost by 2 to 4 vote. Records
show it is the first motion to have fail
ed of passage at council meeting in
the past four years.
The fight over the censorship has
eclipsed in the minds of Greeley movie
fans even the Taylor murder and the
Arbuckle case. Both the theatre COM
panies have demanded the removal e
the censor and have threatened to close
their doors if the demand is not COM
piled with.
The theatre pays a monthly license
of $50 and the bulk Of it is applied on
the salary Of Mrs. Tew as censor.
There are two members on the board
of censorship, Paul Darrow and Rev.
b. w. Bonell. They serve without pay,
Theatre proprietors declare tut
their films are 50 mulitated by the
present censor that they are unable to
bring many productions here.
Woman's clubs Of Greeley have
entered the fight over the censor and
have divided their support among the
two factions.
Several sermons have been preached
by the pastors there supporting the
censorship, which has been an institu-
ton in Greeley for nine years.

AyANT BANQUET AND BALL
BRILLIANT SOCIAL SUCCESS

The annual Avant Banquet and Ball
given "Wednesday evening, was one of
the most successful social events ever
given in the city. This society has,
since its organization in 1914, distirgu-
ishcd itself in the matter of entertain
ments, but Wednesday nights affair
was the best of all.
About eighty couples were entertain
ed by the society, most of whom were
the present Avants and their ladies'.
A sprinkling Of the older Avants were
in evidence. Principal and Mrs. Cau-
sey, Prof. and Mrs. Machlan and Prof.
and Mrs. Helmeckc were guests of the
society.
The banquet was held at the Tea
Room, four courses being served. The
tables were beautifully decorated with
red and white carnations. Following
the meal, n short program was given,
Bruce Stone, president of the Avants
this year, acting as toastmaster. He
demonstrated himself to be excel
lent material in the toastmaster field.
Miss Elizabeth Nourse sang q selection,
and Miss Esther Arterberry gave O
reading. Prof. Machlan, Avant critic,
and d. B. Herrick, one Of the charter
organizers, each gave short talk.
Following the program, the guests
repaired to the Odd Fellows Hall,
where dancing lasted until midnight.
The hall was decorated with streaIners
and shaded light and gave a pleasing
eject, making an excellent back
ground for the beautiful gowns worn
by the young ladies and bringing 10
mind the approaching spring. Unique
"a" programs were furnished. Music
was rendered by a six-piece orchestra.
Two novelty dances were on the
program, and when the first came
along, the boys We're requested to each
draw Q small playing card from a
pack on the table. On the back of
the cards was snapshot picture Of
the girl with whom they were to dance
the next number. The second novelty
produced great quantity Of confetti,
which added much 70 the fun of the
evening.
At q late hour q tired but happy
crowd departed for their respective
homes with pleasant memories Of q
most enjoyable time.
