ANOTHER CASE OF SPITE

It might be worth while to consid-
er why the august Senate is holding
up the appointment Of Hon. Charles
B. Warren as Attorney General. II
we would do this we would find little
difficulty in concluding that malice
is at the bottom Of the endeavor to
thwart the President. No evidence
has been presented to show that MI.
Warren is not capable of performing
the duties Of thaooffice with distinc-
ton to himself and with credit to the
administration. No one yet has been
able to impeach either his character
or his abilities.
The Democratic New York Times,
commenting on the situation has
this among other things to say:
Here is a President who has been
elected by a vote Of personal conf
dence. Here is the Democratic
Party, tumuftously kicked for "play-
ing politics" with tax reduction and
tax revision, and for having been the
easy dupe and accomplice of Mr.. La
Toilette and his squad. Some effort
at rehabilitation, an occasional devil
alton into sense, might have been
hoped from these helpless wrong
heads; but they are at their old
game"
And it should not be forgotten
that President Coolidge selected one
OF the best attorney generals the
country has had in Mr.. Stone, who,
however, did not meet with appro-
baton from the Senate malcontents.
They tried to vent their spite on him
and ANONYMOUSLY failed. They are
making a like attempt in the case OF

TRADE WITH so. AMERICA

Last year this country did a
large amount of trading with South
America. Analysis of this trade
shows the fallacy that one country
must buy of another in order to sell
to the other. 1t appears that with
reviving business in foreign ceun-
tries several South American coun-
tries shipped large quantities OF
products over there at good prices,
better than they could get In the
United States, Notwithstanding their
imports from us increased. Argen-
tina, Paraguay and Uruguay shipped
their hides, wool and meat to Europe
in large quantities but their pur-
chases from us increased, for Argen-
tina four per cent, for Paraguay 40
per cent, for Uruguay 81 per cent.
The total of exports to Latin
America during the past year
amounted to s769,573,2io, an in
crease of nearly 10 per cent. over the
previous year. Our imports from
that region amounted to $1,059,57s,-
995, an increase of nearly nine and
a half million dollars. The imports
from the River Plate region declined
but our exports to Brazil, Chile,
Colombia and Venezuela greatly in
creased according to data collected
by the Department of Commerce.
The report is encouraging, as trade
relations with that part of the world
are greatly to be desired and should
make for better understanding and
common interests.
