Fhe year 1922 promises a complete revival of in

with turning of the tide of immigration into that
great storehouse of unknown wealth. The recent
completion of the Government Railroad and the con-
tempated trip OF President Harding who in August

of the Territory conducted by large renue repre-

American people on the northern empire As result
of the Presidents visit and the awakened interest
the Queen OF the North Congress expected to
constructive policy in the future which will
lead to the development of natural resources such as
oil, coal, timber mineral and agricultural wealth.
This is bound to result in a aroused spirit OF
adventure and settlement of the country by
population of home builders Few persons realize how
great a factor such policy would be in building
prosperity for the entire western country. 1t would
mean thousands of openings for business enterprises

Why "Jim'' Reed Should Be Beaten.

What is wrong with Senator Reed is not that
he did not follow President Wilson but that he is
the sort of politician good President wants fol-
lowing him. His chief fault is not that Mr..
Wilson says, he is incapable of sustained allegiance
to any person any cause, but that he shows too
much allegiance the wrong causes. He first won
national attention by assailing Joseph W. Folk when
Folk waging against multiform corruption
in Missouri. He has consistently played upon racial
prejudces in st. Louis and Mssouri-the prejudices
of Germans, Irish, and the haters-for political
purposes His opposition to progressive measures

Administration and Mr.. Hoover outraged the in
telligence of the country. He became bigoted
opponent of the League of Nations when plans for
it first preached If he has lost OPP
portunity since the to stir up ill feeling between
this country and the Allies it would puzzle most
people to 1t. He is without allegiance
to certain persons, but the of these persons

HUGHES AND LOOSE TAKERS.

Secretary Hughes, former Secretary OF state
Root has lately been sounding a warning against
loose talk by Americans against other nations In
tho field of international affairs" he points out in a
recent address, recklesness of statement is especially
innrous to the interests of the country Some of our
editors and public write and speak as though
what they said foreign peoples could not be seen
or heard beyond the three-mie limit The first duty
of people that desires peace is to cultivate goou
will and the only cure for Incorporate statement Is
the resentment of an INTELLIGENT community Let is be
understood those who indulge in diatribes against
foreign peoples and their governments who hold them
up to ridicule who impute them base motives and
asperse their honor, enemies first of their own
country, and such deserve universal censure
Mr. Hughes is experiencing of the handicaps
under which President Wilson labored so long and so
hard No administration was ever handicapped more
by loose talking home than his The American
people been noted for the habit of paying little
attention international matters beyond the neces
sity extracting political issues for home consump-
tion from them This habit given free rein
during the Wilson Administration. However, that is
why it should not be curbed now. 1t is
one of the why it should be The oppon-
ents of the present Administration only refute
previous contentious and condone those they criticised
by trying embarIass the country's foreign policy.
The present Administration, like the Wilson Admins
ration and all Administrations, is doing all within its
power to represent America it believes America
should be represented should be handicapped
by attacks other peoples by criticism
deSigned to embarrass Constructive criticism the
Administrations policies, foreign domestic, are
always in order, well constructive criticisms
has been done to the damage of other Administrations
is why there should be circulation OF pro-
paganda of hate against foreign peoples any

in former years.
If we are to maintain standard of
living under a condition of diminishing re-
turns in raw production we must offset such
increased by devoting larger and
larger production of effort to those lines OF
industry that yield increasing returns per
unit. namely to manufacturing. That we are
doing this to extent is evidenced by
the census figures for manufacture. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that this pro-
cess of ofsettng diminishing returns in ae-
rculture by increasing returns in manu-
facture involves eyer-expanding market
for our manufactures and that such
pansion points Enthusiastically and inevitably
to the extension of foreign trade.
From the most important point of view

that of the standard of living of the masses
of the people must have foreign trade TO
an ever-increasing extent.

nestle trade alone the prosperity of the

fact dependent progress in the international field

prevents price Generalization. Although America 6

be measured by this ratio, saying that many of the
important things in financial and business life
hang upon percentages of less than 10 Is per cent

delegates to the Ninth National Foreign Trade Coz

Among other things, he said:
We have established upon this continent
an economic society that has given to the
average aboring higher standard of

most any other part of the world The exist
ence of that standard constitutes one of the
greatest achievements of American democ-
racy.
This standard, however, has been condi-

turn has been conditioned upon the continued

courageous people, who, with the help
