American World Trade
at Lowest Ebb In 1921
Faces Bright Prospects

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-American com
merce, staggering under the greatest an
nuaI losses in its history, faced the new
year today with bright prospects for a
complete recovery.
Americas world trade during 1921 to-
tailed only $1,000, O0O, 900 in round figures,
the lowest volume OF international bust
ness recorded for this country since be-
fore the war. According to the Depart
ment of Commerce, this represented a loss
of $4,000, 100000 over the volume of com
merce transacted N 1920, the peak
year in American trade
The downward plunge Of the Nations
commerce, however, halted in the fall of
last year and in December reports showed
an upward trend had started. Govern
ment experts today were optimistic Of
the new year, confidently predicting a
sharp recovery in American world trade.
BUSINESS DEPRESSION
OF LAST YEAR.
Both imports and exports felt the full
force of depression during 1921 although
Government experts were quick to de-
clare the declines only natural" after the
peak year of 1920. Imports for last year,
totalling only s2,50O,0OO 600, were less
than half the imports of the previous
year and the lowest in the last five years.
Similarly, the total exports, amounting
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1922-01-02

in round figures to $4,000, 00O,0 0O were
only 81 per cent of the previous years to-
tails and also the lowest recorded in the
last five years.
IMPORTS EXCEED
EXPORTS.
One serious condition revealed by the
years commercial reports was the gain of
imports over exports. In 1919 the ex-
ports held the lead by 100000,
while in the following year this lead fell
off TO S2,050, 900, 900. Last year, however,
imports climbed on a comparative scale
until the lead of exports was cut to
50, 900 900 000 This was a comparative
loss of $1,000, 100000 in two years.
The Nations export trade showed
loss in volume with every country in the
world, excepting only Mexico and Ger
many, as compared to the previous year.
The losses ranged from 80 to 20 per
cent.
The gain in exports to Mexico totaled
S45, 900 900, while the increase in trade to
Germany totaled sos, 100000. Heavier
shipments CT wheat, corn, cotton and
lard accounted for the increases.
IMPORTS AND
EXPORTS COMPARED.
The loss in exports to Great Britain
amounted to 1913 100000. compared to
1920's trade, while $36S 000, 600 loss was
marked in the export trade to Canada.
At the same time a decline of $500, 1000 900
In the trade to Cuba and of So, 100000
in the trade to Japan were also noted.
In imports America bought less dur
ing the year as compared to 1920 from
every nation excepting only Greece. The
losses ranged from 20 to so per cent.
The imports from Greece rose about
81 100000 due to heavy buying of leaf
tobacco. The so per cent loss was re-
corded in trade from the Dutch East
Indies. but the greatest monetary loss oc-
Cured in Cuban imports, which fell or
10000 900 Imports from Great Britain
declined $3.50, 100000 while there was
loss of S24S000,000 in Canadian goods.
Almost 5000 600 coo less japanese goods
were brought to American shores, while
all South American goods showed heavy
declines.
4 peculiar feature of the years trade
was that although a loss Of $S13 600 900
was recorded in exports to Great Britain
compared to loss Of only S2S0,0OO000 in
British imports here, America continued
to send more goods to England than
were received here from that nation. The
total exports to Great Britain were
$3.50. 600 600 larproximate) and the I'm
ports were only $24O,00G0O0.

IMPARTIAL TRIAL
FOR EVERY MAN.

Millions of people now living on earth
expect to live five, ten. fifteen, or even
twenty years more. IF the restoration be-
gins within that time, then if they die at
ali 1t will be their own fault, because
with the beginning Of restoration every
man will be offered one fair and impartial
trial for life
When the chldr-A Of Israel entered the
land Of Canaan in the year 1915 B. c., God
commanded that they should keep a
jubilee every ffdeth year thereafter for
a period Of time covering seventy ju
bilees, or for 800 years. During the
Jubilee every man who had lost prop
erty must have it restored to him. The
Apostle Paul plainly shows us that the
thing pertaining to the law of the jew
1sh people foreshadowed the greater
things to happen. This dealing with the
Jews foresRadowed the great anti typical
jutjiee. God commanded that the type
should be repeated every fifty years.
Whether the Jews did this or not 1t
would in no wise affect the time feature.
The counting OF the type began 1873
Is. c.. and, covering a period Of $500
years, must Of necessity end In 1925, at
which time the great jubilee, according to
all rules of Biblical construction, must
begin. Therefore, 1925 must mark the
beginning of the period Of restora ton
mentioned by the apostle, as above
quoted The promises of restoration and
lasting life must be fulfilled some time;
otherwise they would not have been re-
corded in the Bible.
WHEN WARS
SHALL CEASE.
Under the reign Of Messiah all wars
shall cease and the peoples shall beat
their swords into pIowshares and their
spears into pruning hooks; the profteers
shall no longer be permitted to prey
upon the people famines shall not long
er afflict mankind, because the earth
shall yield her increase for mans bene-
fit; suffering and sickness win pass away
and the inhabitant of the land shall no
more say, I am sick; funerals will be q
thing of the past; families separated by
death will be restored to one another,
because all the dead shall come forth
and have trial for life; the greedy land
lords will no more be permitted to Op
press the people, because then the peo-
pie shall build houses and live in them;
they shall not build and another in
habit; and they shall not plant and an
other eat. but every man shall sit under
his own vine aud fgtree. The great eli
max viii be reached by giving to every
obedient one life everlasting in a state of
happiness, and the privilege of dwelling
upon the earth forever in joy-that which
God intepded for man from the begin
ming"
