sum which has slipped by the govern
ments statisticians.
OF course it would be unbecoming
to member of the cabinet to admit even
the possibility of heavy expenditures for
foreign liquor. But inasmuch as every
body knows that liquor is being struggled
in from many foreign sources-Canada,
the Bahamas, Cuba and the British Isles
apparently supply the bulk-it could not
be impairment to suggest that maybe
national prohibition" is the answer to
the riddle which the secretary of COM
merce, officially, has been unable to solve.
The extent of the illicit traffic is indi-
Gated almost daily by authentic reports.
When, as sometimes happens, the govern
ment's prohibition navy" apprehends a
ship laden with a liquor cargo officially
valued at million dollars, is it illogical
to assume that large proportion of the
invisible exchange" is represented by the
whiskey, wine, brandy, cordials and other
alcoholic beverages that actually reach
the consumers in this country?
In pre-prohibtion times the United
States government collected internal rev.
ClluS taxes dlllludlly on approximately
100000 gallons of spirituous liquors
and 1000 100000 gallons of beer brought
in from foreign countries. Then there
was no invisible exchange" so far as
such imports were concerned. Now mil
lions of gallons of liquor are brought in
unlawfully, and the government gets not
one cent of revenue. The total amount
of liquor now imported cannot even be
estimated, but that it is very large is a
fact that would be evident even in the
absence of reports that distilleries in Eng
land, Scotland, ireland and Canada, and
wine presses in Portugal, Spain and Italy,
are running at greater capacity than
ever"
In their unwillingness to admit, Off
cially, that vast amount of the "invisi-
bic exchange" is due to prohibition law
that does not and cannot prohibit, and
that deprives the government of millions
.of dollars in revenue, Secretary Hoover
and other members of the Harding admin
istration have struck a pose that fools

THE MERCHANT MARINE.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.
Edward Nelson Dingley, in the De-
cember number of Review of Reviews,
gives some interesting facts.
"Foreign commerce (of the United
States) developed amazingly during
the same period. exports expanding IN
value from $40. 900, 600 in 1872 to S.
2OO.OOO.O0O in 1912 To-day the
situation seems to be reversed by rea-
son of whitening war.
in 1880 more than o. per cent or
Americas imports Of merchandise
and more than Sc per cent of exports
were carried in American vessels. In
1914. when the world war broke out,
only II per cent of imports and a lit
tie over S per cent of exports were
carried in American vessels.
In August. 1922. slightly more than
SO per cent of our imports and IS ID
per cent of our exports were carfr4
in American vessels. 81
"June 80. 1921, two and half years
after the close of the world war, the
books of the government showed that
Congress had appropriated $3,213,217,-
600 in a feverish attempt to build and
operate an American merchant ma
rinc. The annual loss was between
S15O000,OO0 and $500, 1000 in opera
ton" ..
Then Mr.. Dingley goes on to say
that in August, 1922, the United
States Shipping Board had 416 steel
vessels in active operation, 1901 steel
vessels inactive; 249 wood vessels in
active, and 9 concrete vessels in.
active; that out of a total of 1915
vessels, 1850 were tied up and in
active, scattered all along the coast.

Oar Hardest Riddle
BY II. Adiington Bruce.

Some one has well said: :.
LEARN to think boldly, freely, judi
ciousIy, 1t is by so thinking that you
will succeed in solving the enigma that
is yourself, in learning the riddle oil
your own existence" ,,,,.
And, indeed, no more difficult rlddie
can be put to anybody than that consu-
tuted by his own personality.
This is not generally appreciated
Few people ever regard themselves as
presenting to themselves anything IN the
nature of a riddle.
Which is one of the principal reasons
so many get little out of life.
Taking themselves for granted, giving
not moments thought to their psychic
makeup, TO their possibilities and their
limitations, they continually encounter
difficulties with which, because of their
ignorance of themselves, they are I'M
able to deal adequately.
II, for example, they find themselves
getting along poorly in the vocation
they have chosen, not having studied
themselves they are at q loss to know
what they ought 10 do.
Their not unnatural inclination is to
throw the blame on circumstances.
Whereas, usually the fault is with them
selves, as they would soon recognize
if only they attacked in earnest the
riddle Of their personality.
In some cases they would discover
that they are not getting along simply
because they have selected an occupa-
ton for which they have no natural APP
titude whatever. In other cases-and
by far the larger number-the trouble
would be traced to defets of character
and shortcomings of conduct.
These defects and shortcomings may
be obvious enough to other people. But
since those handicapped by them have
never really turned their mental gaze
upon themselves, they are blind to them
What is still worse, they may-and
often do-have a false sense of theil
personal worth. This tends to make
them rebel at what they are pleased tc
call their "hard luck"
They fill the air with their com
plants. Or they perhaps develop a
sullen bitterness or n despairing resig
nation. each of which means further
impeding of their efforts TO succeed,
The remedy. the one effectual remedy
is that prescribed in the passage
quoted:
Learn to think boldly. freely. judi
ciously. II is by so thinking that yor
will succeed in solving the enigma tina
is yourself. in learning the riddle o.
your own existence"
Words I commend to the considera
ton Of all who lament that their dreams
are filing to come true. that their am
billions are forever being frustrated.
