- HE $427,000,000 value of September
 exports from the United States,
 recently announced, represents the largest value of sales to foreign na- tions of any month since February, 1921, and likewise an increase of ap- proximately 30 per cent over the amount of export trade during the pre- ceding month of August. Such gain was startlingly unexpected, for in no September, except during the inflated war years, have our sales abroad passed the 400 million mark.
 It is still too early to give the real reason for this sudden and rapid in- crease, since detailed figures are not available. There may be some, how ever, who will claim that the effects of European acceptance of the Dawes reparation plan are already being ex- perienced. It is not likely that this is the answer, for although such an au- thority as Secretary of Commerce Hoover declares that the economic re- mobilization of Europe will bring re-

newed prosperity in foreign trade, he qualities his statements by predicting that improvement will be gradual, not sudden.
 Nevertheless, the September gain is cheering evidence of trend in the right direction and comes of demand for their products. Even when domestic demand is normal or a little better than normal, this country needs outside markets for many of its products It is always well to bear in mind that in many ways we are more than self-con- tained. There is some question as to just how much more our industries can produce in twelve months than Ameri- can people can consume in that time. Yet there Is no doubt that the extent of foreign purchases from us can often mean the difference between just or dinary times and either dull or really prosperous periods. A continuance of the September trend may, therefore, aid strongly in bringing genuine prosper ity to pass.

Mcdonald Asks Democrats and Republicans to Join Hands

If one of you men had made such utterances during the war as La Toilette did, you would have been taken out of tie factory and sent to jail for a good Iong form, ' declared Henncssy Mcdonald, dr.. at a republican rally at the Orchard street gate of r, & r, Corbin's this noon. La Follettr's speech was printed in Polish and Russian, and the German aViators instead Of dropping bombs, dropped copies of his speech as means Of inducing the Russian soldiers to stop fight ing" This was after the United States was in the Wal he continued.
 La Toilette is damned m-Amcri- can in the propa ganda which he carries on. This statement and many others which the speaker made were loudly applaudcd by the good-sizcd crowd which listened to MT. Mcdonald.
 "Thcrc is no better form of gov ernmcnt in the world than we have in the United Stats, and if you think you can find better one the best thing for you to do is to take the next boat from New York and go there and stay ,nero." Mir. Me Donald attacked La Toilette for not answering tho chaIl'ngo put him by the Boston Post on the question of rCaDtr,,itipl SDi1 that not only would La Toilette recognize Russia, but that he would do his best to establish the soviet form of government in this country, which would never como about with either Republicans or Democrats in office.
 Tho Democrats say they will give you SIS garments" he said, and that is true, but hy all the gods, you won't he able to earn the SIS to pay for it, because you cant com pete with the cheap workmen of Europe
 He listed labor bills supported by Coolidge while holding office in Massachusetts. Speaking about the bonus, he declared, 'l don't give a damn about the bonus. That isn't an issue: the issue in this campaign is whether or not a So-Called third party can destroy our constitution.
 As for Calvin Coolidge's personal honesty, Mr. Mcdonald vouched for that as friend of the presidents for IS years, saying that although Coolidge had held 40 public posi-. tions in the past 25 years he still paid rent in a little two-family house in Massachusetts and took his vaca. tions on the farm instead of at some expensive summer resort. claiming that this showed he was not com. hitting any form of graft.
 In conclusion, Mir. Mcdonald urg. ed both Democrats and Republican; to unite against La Toilette and givt Calvin Coolidge the biggest majority ever received by any candidate fol any office.
