 From World Tour

The immediate future for products of American factories in other coun- tries does not look so rosy, according fo George r. Hart, former president of the board or directors of the Stanley Works, who has just returned from a trip around the world. With high wages. short hours and q lowering of individual efficiency in America, the prospects for an increase in trade throughout inc world do not look so bright at this time he stated ycster- day.
 Mir. Hart left New Britain about the middle of January. His journey took him through the Mediterranean Sea, with short stops at Gibraltar, Algicrs and Cairo, stopping at the latter town for several days.
 The first stop of any consequence was made at Bombay. India, which was some time in February. The weather at this time was extremely hot, he stated. While in Bombay the New Britain manufacturer saw much evidence of Landcrs, Frary S Clark, Gorbin Lock, Stanley Works and Stanley Rule and Level products

EUROPE'S REVIVAL PERMA.
NENT BENEFIT TO NORTH
DAKOTA
Jamestown Alert)

/
The success of the Dawes plan
has now assured recovery Of
business and a restoration of con-
fidence in Europe. This revival of
| business is proved by the increase
| in the price of wheat, and many
raw materials, needed by Germany
and other European countries for
manufacturing purposes. These
purchases are furnishing available
funds to large populations in other
parts of the world. The farmers
Of North Dakota have felt the good
effects of the Dawes settlement in
the increase prices of grain. and
the benefits are not of Il temporary
nature as some persons take pains
to predict.
One of the most marked results
is the wide spread benefit which
the settlement has had on Ger
many itself. 1t is giving new hope
and confidence to the people of
that country who see that their
foreign trade will be directly bene-
fitted. Germany, with the\ capac-
ity of her people for skillful labor,
expects to again become pros
porous nation.
The workability of the Dawes
plan has been passed upon, and
accepted by the financial interests
of the world. which is manifest in
the successful launching of the
German loan of 200 million dol
lars. The amount allotted to the
United States, S11O million dollars.
was oversubscribed many times
and the subscription books re-
manned open only Is minutes. The
British share of the loan some IL
million pounds. CLOSED! in a few
hours, and was oversubscribed.
This investment indicates a
confidence in the permanent re-
vival Of industry in Europe which
means much in the future for the
farmers Of the United States in the
sale Of our surplus goods.
In fact, the era of refilling
empty shelves is about to dawn in
many parts Of the world, and the
trade losses which have been grow
ing since the war, will soon be
changed to gains. The volume Of
trade in the next two years will
exceed all previous statistics. &C
cording to correspondents now in
European countries.
This increased foreign trade will
be decisive factor, in keeping the
present stage Of American prosper
ity up to the level which the peo-
pie demand And it must not be
overlooked. that the cause of this
is largely due to the foresight and
the practical efforts of President
Coolidge and Mr. Dawes in the set
Element of the European repara-
tions question that has been SO
long delayed.

THE OPTIMIST

Paddy McGraw, my brother in law,
Was the funniest fellow that you saw,
Be it rainy or shine, why. he didn't whine. :
He took all the weather, and thought it was fine:
And if you'd complain at the wind and the rain,
He would say with comcal twist of his cane:
Its tn finest o. weather fr film tn grain"
And when it was hot. like a sizzling pot
TIL You feared would burn before It would sop
Then Paddy would say in his comical way
Its tn finest TO- weather FIR curin' tn hay,
Tn sun cannot be too warmsh fr me-
So with all you fellers do not agree
Such elegant weather never did see."
When Pat left this life, he said to his wife:
Il Will soon be away firm all worry and strife.
Do not trouble an0 fret I'll be better off vet
IMAM ever have been in this world, you can bet;
am longin' to be DER that beautiful Sea-
Where tn angles singin' in sweet harmony.
And tn harp and a crown a-waitn' FIR me-"
And so Paddy died, while the whole countryside
Declared he was happy because he had tried, fF#

For they miss the broad smile of him now evervwhera
Tho Paddy is not in his dearly loved spot - -,
And tho in this world he was but a small dot,

THE REPUBLICAN, FOREIGN
POLICY
George Wharton Pepper in the
Yale Review

George Wharton Pepper in the
Yale Review
The Republican party. under the
leadership of President Coolidge,
stands squarely against isolation
and for unorganized cooperation.
The party regards the Washington
conference as type of conference
which may usefully be reproduced
1t regards the service rendered by
the Dawes commission as the sort
OF international action most likely
to be effective. 1t regards tho
American relief given in the Near
East and to Russian sufferers ana
to our Japanese neighbors in the
hour of necessity as type of re-
lief to be encouraged but not over
organized. The Republican party
believes that doing things in ODE
dience to covenants and in virtue
of membership in league OF ma
tions is lettering, entangling, and,
for us, unthinkable. The party,
accordingly, reaffirms that atti-
tude of opposition to American
membership which was so over
whelmingly Endorsed by the people
four years ago.

New York, Oct. 25.-A little old

day.
The body lay there, covered with
old sacks, for an hour and a half
while the morbid looked on. Then
it was taken to station house.
This gruesome incident is due to
red tape in municipal government.
Over in Third avenue there is a
restaurant where the appetite may

served in coffee cups.
