TRADE RECORD Trade of The United States With The Tropics

000.000 in 1915 to 100000 iu 1923. Our imports from India ad-
 vanced from S5,000,000 in 1913 ta $s5.000,000 in 1925; and from Egypt an increase from $l7.000,000 to $3e.000.000 Our imports from South America increased from $l98,25o.000 in 1913 to S466,8l7,0N in 1925, and our exports to that continent from $l46,sl5.000 to $26o.- 318,000.
 The big increases in our imports from the tropics occur in rubber. fbers, sugar, coffee, cacao, and fruits. and the gains in exports to that area consist chiefly of manu- facfures.
 This increase in our trade oi the tropical world and especial ly in the market which it offers for our manufactures is especially of interest, adds the Trade Record. in view of the great possibilities of in-. creasing the producing and conse- quent buying power of that part of the world. The tropical and sub-tropieal belt. extending the world around between the 30th parallels of nortl, and south latitude, has over one third of the habitable land area of the world. much of it with far greater producing power per acre than that of the temper ate zones, and with the increasing exportation of its natural products which would follow improved trans- portation facilities by railways and automobiles would come an increas- ed demand for the products of the American factories.

Big gains in our imports from and exports to the tropical world. We take its raw ma- terials and foods and pay for them in the products of our factories.

{, Trade of the United States with the tropical world has shown a re-
 markable growth since the begin
 ming of the war. Whether or not it is because of the disarrangement of trade methods resulting from the war. the opening of new steamship routes by the Panama Canal, the . increased activities of the automo- bile for land transportation in the tropics. or even the increasing use of tropical products which followed prohibition, 1t is at least a fact, says the Trade Record of The ; National City Bank of New York, ithat our trade with the tropics has increased approximately l307s in value since 1913. while that with ithe non-tropical world increased but about 75eo in the same period.
 With the dangers to sea-borne com-
 nerce which existed during the war. European countries gradually re-
 iuced their tropical imports for re- .xportation purposes. and as result
 he United States developed her
 direct purchases from the tropical countries and at the same time in- creased her direct sales to them.
 Considering as tropical or at least

sub-tropical the American areas
 lying between northern Mexico and
 southern Brazil, the continent of
 Africa excep, the South African
 Union, and the countries and islands
 lying between northern India. the
 Philippine Islands, and central
 Australia. the number of political
 divisions with which we inter
 change merchandise countries. colonies and islands-is s, and our trade with them has grown from approximately s1 ,060, 900. 900 in 1913 to about $2.447, ,O00, 900 in 1923. The total value of merchandise brought direct from the tropical world Gn- cluding our own tropical islands) advanced from approximately S640,- 900. 900 in 1913 to about $l .620. .000,- 900 in 1923. while the exports to these areas increased from about $400, ,000.00 in 1913 to approxi- mately $830,000. 900 in 1923.
 While part of this apparent i'm crease, says the Trade Record, is probably due to the fact that cer- tain tropical products prior to the war reached us from the European countries and were accredited to them in our trade statistics. it is luite apparent that our trade with the tropics has enormously increas- cd. Practically all the tropical coun- tries have increased the percentage which American products form of heir imports. Our own official statistics show that our imports from Cuba advanced from SIPS, ,000.- poo in 1913 to S376,000. 1000 in 1923. and the exports thereto from S3..

memory of a president. but that the significance of the gathering today was far deeper than that.
 Tribute of Love
 Tt is a tribute inspired by love of country, as laying aside the differ ences and controversies which seem but trivial in the face of mans ad- ventures and Gods providence. we stand united in the indissoluble bonds Of common patriotism. knowing well that ungrateful republics cannot endure" he added. "'The temple of democracy will be but as vain yes uge of vanished faith if their altar fires are not kept burning by the memory of those who have met the supreme test and have laid down their lives in heroic fidelity and self sacri- ice
 A close personal touch marked that portion Of Mir. Hughes address, which expressed the estimate of the dead presidents character which could be formed only through associa- ton in his cabinet,
 Above all" the speaker said. we give the tribute of deep affection which moves Us to speak in tender re- memhrance Of a generous and kindly spirit who counted human fellowship more precious than all the pomp and circumstance of power.
 Not only those who had the priv ilege of intimacy but the vast multi tude who bowed in grief at his pass ing. responded to the grace of his gentleness and called him brother and friend as well as president"
 In speaking Of the days in San Francisco after President Harding had been stricken and of the swift ness of the tragedy, Mir. Hughes said:
 Resigned To Inevitable
 Not long before, in intimate con verse, when informed Of the gravity Of his condition and of the probability that If rescued from the immediate peril he would still be condemned to life Of invalidism and the exercise Of a constant care which would pre- clude the resumption of the routine of his labors, he had exclaimed Well if that is so, this story might as well come to an end
 ''That was true" Mir. Hughes con tinued. "The only life he desired, that of energy and usefulness. he could no longer hope to enjoy. Pain lessly, without warning, and in a mo- ment of apparent refreshment, there was a slight movement and he was gone. The cares of his stewardship were lifted and he was at rest in Gods peace"
 Secretary Hughes told of the entry l ot Mir. Harding into journalism with | the purchase Of the Marion Star, com that the journalist career | valuable training for pub lie office because it demanded careful | observation.
 Young Harding identified his SIC cess with that of his town" Mir. | Hughes sadi. "He embodied the Am erican spirit carrying into the endeav- ors Of the town the persistence and | of his pioneer forbears, who had made towns possible. K X He | was ever great heart in newspaper dom. He not only had his nrin- riples. but he codided and enforced .hem."

Harding. Mir. Hughes said that he
 soon achieved distinguished position
 in the senate, where 'his keen intel l ligence and common sense won for ! him general confidence and esteem,
 while his unfailing friendIiness made him universally beloved"
 The secretary recounted the steps President Harding followed to meet the necessities of readiustment of the nation to the ways of peace and added:
 "It was with an intense desire to contribute to the promotion of peace and to find avenues of helpfulness that he contemplated the chaotic con ditions left by the great war and our relations to other peoples. His was not the spirit of a narrow CT selfish nationaiism. He wished no commit ment which would forfeit or impair the independence and liberty of action which was the heritage of the ropub- lie. But he desired to safeguard this fortunate detachment from the ambi- tions and rivaIries which had yexed tine old world not only 10 conserve our own security but that America might use her freedom for an en- larged service
 Coming to the calling of the Wash ington conference for limitation of Secretary Hughes quoted from the addresses of President Hard ing to show that "his aspiration had long been declared"
 Washington Conference
 "The distinctive feature of the Washington conference was the defi- rite and limited character of it's aim" Mir. Hughes continued. AS the presi- dent said. it did not seek to re-make It did not waste its time in utilities; it sought results, not the of reiterated professions with out accomplishment. |. There will always be problems in the Far East, but it is not too much to say that the Pacific and Far Eastern aues- tions as they existed at the time of the conference with their menace to the peace of the world, are no more"
 Tho secretary of state recalled the sad Gcnes of the funeral journey back Io Washington and the solemn funeral services in the capitol when. he said, political differences were forgotten, criticism hushed. and "a united peo- nle stood before the open tomb" He,l told of the return 10 Marion, Ohio, and in concluding his address said:
 Warren c. Harding gave his life for his conntry. No one can do more than that, He exhausted himself in service, Il martyr in fidelity 10 the i'm Ierest of the people for whom he la- bored with a passionate devotion. Nothing human was alien to him and he had the divine gift of sympathy
 If American life with all its possi- bilities of conflict and turmoil is to be | worth living. 1t must be lived in tho | spirit of brotherly understanding Of ! which he will eyer be an exemplar in ] nigh office" l

Dunn and Dye have a poppy boy and girl comedy offering and Mau- rice and Girio do stunts with the plano and their own vocal chords.

This is the screen version of the famed Clyde lNitch's play immortalizcd by Rich ard Mansfield and rocounts the love affairs of one Of the most pictures que characters ever seen in Eng land. The picture closely follows the play and the presence of Barry more makes the ucting even more brilliant.

GLORIA SWANSON AT PALACE

It has been said that one half the world does not know how the other half lives We were reminded of that truism last night as we watched Her Love story" starring Gloria Swanson, on the screen of the Pal ace theater where the picture is be- ing shown for the first time. The average film fan, raised on fairy tales and bedtime stories, has a hay notion that the life of a prin- cess is one continuous round Of pleasure. Eventually, she marries a noble prince and lives happily ever after
