In fact, we must go forward, or we shall inevitably be forced to retreat from our present position with heavy losses all along the line-in shipping, banking and trade. We are already vigorously challenged by competitors in for eign markets. A courageous na- tional policy of legltimately az gressive development of all these newly co-ordinated resources for the conduct of foreign trade Is es- sential.
 Every yAmerican-merc rchant, man. ufacturer, banker. farmer or la borer-has some stake in this strug- gle. Our sales abroad of two billion dollars worth of food prod ucts annually is a fact of impor- tance to every farmer, either in di- rect interest or in effect upon prices. Exports of two hundred million dollars worth of tobacco and more than a billion dollars in value of cotton add force to this ar- gument.
 Further, our vast industries when fully employed now produce such a surplus over domestic demands that loss of foreign outlet for this

Movie Stars Not So

Moving picture actors and ac-

 paint they use.
 Who says so? No less person
 than the Rev. Dr. William Hor-

 vine, who yesterday sat check

 CTS in the theatrical world at the
 complimentary luncheon tender
 ed Sylvester z. PoH at The Strar-
 field.
 'T enjoyed meeting the moving pie ture people," said Dr. Day, "and they are certainly not as bad as they are painted. There are bad eggs in all baskets and I was impressed with what Virginia Pearson said when she declared that derelictions upon the part of theatrical people are noted on those of other people may go un- noticed.
 "Because of their nomadic life, theatrical people as a rule are sub- jected to more temptation than other people" continued Dr. Day, but that does not mean they are worse than other people.

The large American banks have numerous branches abroad, and in every country there are di- rect banking connections with New York. Whatever may be the de- velopment of our foreign trade, it will surely be accompanied by a similar growth and strengthening of this great financial organization, upon whose service must rest the orderly and successful conduct of overseas commercial transactions.

 High prices have been an impor- tant factor influencing this won derful record of exports, but in spite of that element the figures of our present trade disclose an un- usual story of commercial activity. Vastly increased capital, ample shipping, and an enormous foreign trade were all the immediate result of the stimulus of the war, con- bined with our exceptional re- sources as an agricultural and manufacturing nation.
 We are now at the parting of the ways. What are to be our policies in this new relation which we hold in the world of trade? All of the elements required to control and extend our commerce are at our command. Are we in the mood to

surplus would mean serious labor depression. It is no longer true that we can look with compara- tive indifference upon our exports of manufactured articles as com prising too small part of our total trade to be 8 matter of serious concern when they fall of. For many years the ratio of exports of manufactures to our total man. ufacturing production has been in- creasing, until now 1t has reached an amount that probably spells the difference between prosperity and failure in many industries. Sales of nearly three hundred million dollars worth of automobiles abroad are case in point, or, for example, the total sales of leather products valued at nearly two hun dred million dollars. It Is well to examine the recent development of our trade in some detail, for as we study the situation, at every turn tion-wide comprehension of these facts-our need for foreign mar kets and, further, our reliance upon foreign sources of supply of es- sential raw materials to keep our factories employed.
 When we review the course of our foreign trade during the war and since the signing of the Ar mistice, it is obvious that we are dealing with a period which is ab- normal, as compared with any period of our peace time experi- ence. During the nineteenth cen tury our merchandise trade grew steadily larger in value. During

 Insurgent leaders here today indi- cated that they would fight the peace pact to the last ditch but other off, cials who were present at Phfladel- phia late Sunday when the miners wage scale committeee accepted the agreement declared the majority was sufficient to send the miners back to the plants in a short time.

Since our earliest days as a na- tion, 1t has been a tradition, carried almost to extreme, that we should maintain a position of aloofness in International affairs, and this atti- tude has influenced our policies to- wards foregin trade and shipping, as we'll, We have always had foreign commerce, but never as a primary interest, as in Great trade has been vital to them for many years. Our own domestic market has been so great that 1t absorbed by far the greater per centage of our production of every kind and, similarly, the opportu- nities at horne for the use of capi- tai for the development of our abundant resources have not only absorbed all our own surplus funds for investment, but have also drawn upon the capital of other countries, Great Britain especially, to a total of billions of dollars.
 It Is true that mines in Mexico, Chile and Peru, the meat freezing plants in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, and the paper industry in Canada, for example, have at- tracted several hundred millions of our investments abroad, but we were heavily indebted to other countries for capital they had loaned to us during many years. Today the change in this financial situation of the country Is very marked. We have rebought a, large proportion of our foreign-owned securities and, in addition, have loaned about fifteen billions to foreign governments and to munich pal and private creditors, mainly in European countries.

the years 1915 to 1920 inclusivey this increase was tremendous and exports grew so much mora rap idly than imports that we piled up an astonishing excess of outgoing goods. |,
 Our foreign trade may be con- veniently divided into three large classe Food-stuffs, including wheat, flour, meat, fruits, dairy produce, etc.; raw materials, in-i cluding cotton, coal, tobacco, lum- Der, copper, zinc, iron. steel, leath- CT, oil, etc.; and manufactures, in- cluding agricultural implements. textiles, machinery, automobiles, locomotives, and other finished products. Each of these may be further subdivided as minutely as the interested person may desire, but for the sake of simplicity we shall consider here only the broad divisions mentioned. An effect of the war upon our export trade was an immediate increase in the ship ment from this country of food stuffs and of finished manufactures. As European industry turned from it's normal pursuits to the produc- tion of munitions, a decline took place in shipments of raw mate- rials. Commodities such as copper were in greater demand than for merly. Cotton, which had conn prised the bulk of raw exports, was then desired in the finished rather than the raw condition.
 During 1919 and 1920, on the other hand, the major increase in our export trade Is traceable to the demand of the old industrial na- tions for our raw materials and our foodstuffs, which were needed to re-establish their manufactures. Our shipment of raw materials, es- pecially cotton and tobacco, began to increase, though copper and steel decreased. At the same time, the exports of foodstuffs and of many manufactures increased very rapidly.
 Imports also grew in the Armis' stice years more rapidly than ac any previous time of our historys However, the principal increase was in imports from Latin-Ameri- ca and the Orient, rather than ID those from Europe. A very largo percentage of the total increase iG represented by raw materials and foodstuffs, such as hides, rubber, silks, coffee and sugar. The impor- tation of such articles had been re- stricted when shipping was diverted from ordinary mercantile channels to the transport of our army and it's supplies to France.
 With the return of shipping to its trade routes, imports of these articles became so large that the country was rapidly flooded with more than it could consume at high prices. In consequence, these in- ports have now been practically suspended, and the countries of which they are staple exports are undergoing severe commercial re- adjustment to more normal trade conditions. As industrial Europe returns to its pre-war manufac- lures and regains it's former re-ex- port trade,. 1t is probabla that a considerably larger percentage of our imports will be frem that quarter.
