FALL

The export trade of the United States is i'm
proving, despite the many obstacles that stand in
the way. November exports amounted to $685.
10000, the greatest for any month of 1922, and
greater than any other month since early1in 1921.
The total exports for the eleven months Of the year
amounted to $3,49o,0 600, 900 as against $2,25O,O0O,.
900 for the like eleven months of 1913.
Since that last of the pre-war years there has
been a great ductuation in exports, as was to be ex-
spected. Taking the eleven months for comparison,
as the present year is not completed,w ave find that in
1918 our exports had jumped to"seven billions, with
asligft INCREASE in 1920, and a.drop to four billions
in 1921. INTERCHANGEABLE increase was due, Of course,
~ activitiesssgroWin out of the war. There was a
sudden drop early in 1921. January Of that year
showed exports Of $654,ooo,0oo, While the figures
for February are only $4s6,00O. There was a

PREPARATIONS INTERVENTION.

The latest thing in connection with the subject
of German reparations is that Germany would like
to have a committee of American business men
headed by Herbert Hoover to visit Germany and
undertake a thorough survey Of economic condi-
tons in that country which would be used as the
basis of a new reparations treaty.
It is reported that Great Britain would be
agreeable to such an arrangement and there seems
to be a belief that France would also assent. Ne
g%otiations appear actually to have made consider
able progress, as according to the dispatches the
German suggestion has been made to the American
government, which has forwarded it to the govern
ments of Great Britain and France. and has already
received, semi-officially, a favorable reply from
Great Britain. 1t is said that Germany would &C
cept as final the award of such an American COM
mission if France and Great Britain would agree
to it.
The doubtful quantity i'll any such case is
France. The French people have suffered greatly,
and it is easy to understand why they should be
more ~insistent than any other nation on large. pay
ments from Germany. They fear Germany, and
with good reason, and that fear undoubtedly causes
them to feel less interest in the economic revival of
Germany than is experienced ewher
1t is clear, however, that Europe cannot enjoy
real prosperity with one of its great industrial and
commercial nations bankrupt. From several stand
points it appears that Germany is the keystone to
the arch of European prosperity, and the affairs Of
France herself must remain confused SO long as
German affairs remain unsettled.

NJ. r. ,.- 5
A. The enforcement Of treaties is
a subject Of great Importance, but al
so of great uncertainty. Unlike prl-
vate contracts, where either party
puted point to an independent tri-
bunal for adjudication. treaties de-
pend upon the good faith and! honor
of the contracting powers for their
enforcement, and their willingness to
agree. In cas Of disagreement either
party determines for itself the nature
of its obligations, and the only alter
native is recourse to force.

BRAIN
.

A certain proportion Of the people.
whose conduct is far out of the or
binary. are insane, though their type
of insanity may not cause them to get
into conflict with their surroundings.
For instance, the tramp is occa-
sionally rather definitely insane.
Whenever tramps. in considerable
numbers have been examined it has
been found that a fair proportion have
dementia precox. This disease, more
than any other definite mental dis
order, sends men u on the road.
Some Of them are feeble minded, but
not all, for men who r greatly below
the average level have not the brains
to get over the road and rustic the

P]osTOFFIcE

Along with the consideration of federal appro-
|priation bills crops up the old question of whether
as a general policy, the postoffice department should
own or rent the quarters in which it does business.
On this subject there are two opposite theories, both
of them extreme. One is that the federal govern
ment should go indiscriminately into the business
|of erecting more or less palatial postoffice buildings
in all cities and villages of the country. The other
is that the government should have in view always
the cheapness of its quarters rather than the kind
of service to which a community is entitled, and
that any shack will answer for a post office provid-
ed the rent is low enough. ia
Probably we have. sinned in both directions.
Occasionally the energy and resourcefulness of
some congressman has been sufficient to bcspatter
his district with %postofice baildings-mosto Of them
unnecessary. Occasionally, too, because nobody
kicked hard enough, or effectively enough, a com.
munity has been compelled to worry along for years
with postal equipment wholly inadequate to tile
