cord IL The body Of the letter reads as follows;
There are many increasing Indicators that this
nation is at the beginning of a greatly increased pros
perity. There has been a drastic defation OF all kinds
Of merchandise, which appears to be completed. There
are many things selling below the cost of production
There Is a large reserve Of money in the banks. The

narkabie contribution to this end. The period Of re-
action is done. The time for prosperity is at hand

It was William James idea that a man ran, not be-

FoaEIoN TRADE FOR 1921.

Statistics of the foreign trade Of the United States
for the calendar year 1921 show excess exports to the
amount Of nearly $4,000. 600. 600. Our exports were
in round numbers S4,4s4,620,0 600, and our imports
$500, 900, 900. Thus It viii be seen that the United
States sold to foreign countries approximately $1,000,
00O. 900 worth of merchandise In excess of what this
country received from other nations. The same stats-
tics covering our foreign trade show that during the
calendar year we received S667. o $1,000 in gold and
silver, which amount, deducted from our excess ex-
ports Of merchandise, leaves n balance Of approximate
u 81, 300, 900, 900 sold by the commercial interests Of
the United States on credit
These facts are worth the attention Of those adyo-
Gates Of tho league of nations who assert that the
United States is pursuing a selfish policy and Is not
doing its share toward the restoration Of normal IN
dustrial conditions in Europe. Only a few days ago
a prominent Democratic newspaper charged the United
States with selhshness and said that 1t had refused to
extend credits. In the past seven years we have ex-
tended credits aggregating OF least $4,000, 100000 in
excess Of the amount represented by American Sc
c~urities formerly owned abroad but returned to this
country in exchange for merchandise.
The fact of the matter is that the business men Of
the United States are not only willing to extend but
are extending TO foreign countries NIL the credit those
countries can reasonably undertake to assume.

Another big gain in all the issues Of Liberty bonds
is under way. Few achievements Of the Harding ad-
r1inistration have been more pronounced than the
steady rise that Republican policies have brought in
the market prices of Liberty bonds. Within a year
after his taking office those securities have been
brought back to the prices that the people had to pay
for them. Previous to. the elections in 1920 the Lib
erty issues had been selling at an average of Is per
cent below par, which meant a loss to the owners of
the $40, 900, 100000 worth Of bonds outstanding of ap-
proximately $4,000, 900, 900. When a change in the
government at Washington became assured, the steady
Use IN Liberties began, and it has continued, with
slight interruption, until the present time. Of course
the loss to those who kept their bonds has only been
or paper. and the recovery Is only apparent in their
own bookkeeping, but 1t is a fact, nevertheless, that

A RAILROAD CONFERENCE.

tween railroad officials and workers in the hope OF ar
irving at a mutual understanding on the questions
upon which they are in disagreement. The country is
on the threshold of a great industrial revival, but its
full benefits cannot be enjoyed unless transportation
facilities are prepared to handle the increased traffic
that is sure to result. Not only must adequate equip
ment be at hand, but all causes Of friction between op-
orators and operatives must be smoothed out. The
transportation act directs that labor disputes must first
be taken up between the railroads and their employees
before they can be carried to the Railroad Labor board.
Such notion has been taken in the past, but the re-
fusal Of each side to every controversy to give way
to the contentious Of the other has made such at
tempts at compromise merely perfunctory, and has
thrown every contest to the labor board as a matter.
OF course. 1t will be the object Of the present con-
ference to change all that, and secure agreements d.
rectly between the parties at interest without the de-
Lay incident to proeeedings before the labor board.

Millions more persons 10 the United
States have incomes over $1,000 than
are given In the bureau Of Internal
revenue returns. Income In the United
States estimates this class including
income tax payers at 100000 for'the
year 1918, whereas only 2,90S000 paid
taxes on net income returns Of this
amount Special exemptions Of many
sorts account for the difference. II Is
to be noted, too, that no postwar year
figures are yet obtalnable, and conse-
quently from 100000 to 100000
men under arms are not included. The
markets for all products. including
automobiles, are therefore greater
than would at first appear from in

more were coming in daily. Five
