but advanced about $200,000, 600 in
the fiscal year 1923, making the
total exports of the fiscal year just
ended 1906. 10000, or 500 greater
than the highest pre-war year,
1918. The excess of exports in
1921 was $2,862,000000, in 1922 ST.
100000 and in 1928, owing to
unusually large imports, was but
$176,965,000.
Imports since the close of the
war have shown a much less per-
centage Of fall than did exports,
by reason of the demands of our
manufacturers for foreign manu-
featuring material, and the total
imports for 1928 are $3.50, 0O0, 600,
against $5,238,000.O00 in the high
record year 1920, and are more
than doufle the imports of any

BENNY LEONARD
BATTLES WITH Lew
TENDLER AND WINS
Battle Goes to Limit of Is Rounds
Before Crowd of $1,000 Fans.

Ringside, New York, July 3D.
Benny Leonard of New York success
fully defended his title of worlds
lightweight boxing champion against
Lew Tender of Philadelphia in a
fifteen round bout at the Yankee
stadium tonight before crowd of at
least $4,000 persons. Leonard won
easily. 1t was his second victory
over the challenger.
1t was one of the champions east
est victories. He was at his best.
and the challenger was in about the
worst form he has displayed since h,
has become serious contender for
the title. Leonard was accurate and
hit hard. Tender was extremely in
accurate, and left the champion un-
marked.
Leonard out-generaled, out-boxed
and out-punched his foremost rival.
From start to finish he held the upper
hand, had Tender on the verge Of a
knockout at the close and the judges
verdict in his favor at the finish was
merely formality.
Spectacular as the fight was, it
lacked thrill, the suspense and even
ness of their memorable battle year
ago at Boyles Thirty Acres, where
Leonard, hanging on at one stage,
was barely able to gain margin of
victory.

double the export excess in the IFS
years preceding the war is due,
says the Trade Record, to the fact
that our favorable trade balance
as the excess of exports is some
times called, only began in the
closing quarter Of the nineteenth
century when the producing and
exporting power of the Mississippi
Valley was developed by the ex-
tension of plentiful transportation
facilities to that area. Prior to
1875 imports usually exceeded ex-
ports, but with the increase in
transportation facilities and devrt.-
opment of production in the in
terror of the country exports
began in 1876 to exceed imports
and have so continued to the pres
ent time. In the So years from
1889 to the end of 1875 there were
only 10 occasions in which ex-
ports equal1ed or exceeded inn
ports. In the 48 years since 1875
there have been but three occa-

Declares in New York Speech That
America Should Steer Clear OF
Both Court and League of Nations.
HIS VIEWS UNLIKE
THOSE OF HARDING

NEW YORK, July Ex-senator
Hiram johnson of California declar-
ed tonight that America should stay
out Of the world court and theLeague
Of Nations and insists that the ma
lions and insisted that the nations
foreign policy should be decided al
the polls in 1924.
Senator Johnson, who returned
Monday from Europe where ne talk
ed with leading statesmen OF many
countries. expressed his views at q
dinner given in his honor by a COM
m;ttee composed largely OF men VINO
supported the late Theodore Hoose-
welt in his third party campaign for
the presidency in 1912.
The chairman cf the. committee
giving the dinner was Col. Rhineland-
waldo. while George Henry Payne
active in state Republican politics,
and a campaign manager for Roose-
welt was vice-chairman. Mayor n.y.
of New York whose administration
is supported by newspapers owned by
William Randolph Hearst was among
the guests.
Many friends of the senator have
boomed him as presidential candl-
date next year and was noted with
interest that his views on America s
entrance into the world court direct
ly clashed with those set forth by
President Harding.
.'No body in Europe cares a rap
for the International Court SEN
ator johnson declared. sMany may
ator Johnson declared. "Many may
Gaze very much wether we get into
il. Nobody expects the World Court
to solve any provocative information
al problems; but many expect that y
the United States can b lured into
the United States can be lured into
not only to the League of Nations
but to full participation in European
affairs"
"However well intended" he added
ait is dreadful thing to tell our peo-
pie that the international Court VIII
stop war or that it will have the
slightest effect upon wars. 1t is an
utterly futile agency for peace-lt
can not and will not prevent wars
and it does not prevent wars and 1t
does no pretend either in its organl-
cation or it's operation to do so.
Senator johnson sail tonlght's
meeting was without political signl-
ficance anil his address merely was to
give his opinion on international at
fairs as he had seen them during his
visits to Europe.
ssWhat we condemned under
Democratic administration we will
not accept under Republican admin
isSration," he declared.
