The more money We have the more
We SpcEd-at least most OF us do. OF
what benefit would our money b.. if
we never used it:
Since nations are individuals. they
| act like Individuals.
Here lies the main explanation of
why Americas imports have exceeded
her exports during the last three
months.
You probably have seen alarm cX-
pressed over this SO-callcd "unfavOr-
able" trade balance. But should ii.
all things considered. he regarded rs
an unfavorabl, balance? Should il
not rather be regarded as natural, in
cvitablc, wholesome, Stabilizlng:
To begin with. the import balance Is
small compared with our export bal
anCc since the beginning of the cur
rent fiscal year on July ]. From
,hen until rhr end Of December we
exported $3.50. G9J.O1S more than we
imported. Our import surplus thlS
year has run thus; January. SID
30 al: February, S3J,ISG.IOI;
March $40. 100000.
This import balance Of Sl25,OOO.Oo0
il talked Of by some aS if nothing like
il had ever been witnessed before. As
matter Of fact. in 1923. we bought
rom foreign countries SOL .O14,O4l
more than we sold in the four months
Of March. April. May and June. And
there have been other periods in the
past when we bought more than we
sold.
Why must We expect such show
ing as experienced 50 far this year:
First. there are seasonal and other or
binary. temporary explanations. Til"
early part of the year is not normally
our period of heavy exports. We eN-
Fort most in the fall. when orr gram
and our cotton are being purchased
in enormous quantities by Europe.
Also. unsettled currency and other
conditions in Europe have tended {"
restrict purchases recently. Euro
nran governments have been urging
heir people to reduce their INDULGENCE
in imported luXuriCS and comforts.
There have been vigorous. patriotic
rampaigns TO encourage the consump
ttion Of home products.
But beyond all this. there is. in my
Judgment. a deeper. more fundamental,
vet very simple explanation. Briefly:
Americans increased wealth is stimu-
l1ttinc and will continue to stimulate
demand for larger quantities OF inc

The second Sunday in May is usually selected for this purpose. In accord with this wise and just GUS tom the services at the local Metho- dist church Sunday morning will be devoted to this purpose.
