ways.
This $548, 100000 excess of exports
over imports is called a favorablebal-
ance of trade. But it is favorale only
to the privileged owning class and its
we'll paid retainers. To the workers
and farmers who produce the goods it
is an unfavorale balance because it
means that they get less goods in re-
turn for what they produce.
An important feature of the report
is the magnitude of investments in
the United States by foreigners dur
ing 1927. In a single year foreign
investors purchased nearly one billion
dollars of American securities. For.
eigners are also collecting $271 ,000,
600 a year in income on the Ameri
can securities they already hold.
Such figures show the information
al character of the owning class. The

France and other capitalist nations
are all skinning the workers not onl.

1t was through control of distribu-
ton rather than crude production
that Rockefeller and his associates
built up the Standard Oil trust which
still continues the controlling factor
in the industry in spite of its appar-
ent dissolution under the Sherman
Act. This is reflected in the 100000

Standard of New Jersey. Standard
of New Jersey has assets totaling

100000 are in the United States. 1t
represents about 1919 of the $11, OOO,-
100000 investment in the domestic oil
industry.
Between the low point reached ear
ly in 1928 and the end of April the
market value of Standard Oil of New
Jersey common stock increased $685.
343,275. In the same period the mar
ket value of the four Standard Oils
shown in the table increased $780,
| 996,014. This gain in wealth for the
Standard Oil owners reflected the
confidence of the investing class thai
the oil magnates had a workable
plan for throttling down crude pro
duction to the point where consumers
would be forced to pay more profit
able prices than prevailed last year
This confidence is also reflected il
Standard Oil dividends for the seconC
quarter of the year which exceeded
those of any other second quarter Of

These corporations are power in
the oil industry not only on account
of their control of production but to
an even greater extent through their
control of pipe lines, refineries and
marketing. Their pipe lines handle
more than 400 of the country's to-

refineries are responsible for consld-

shown how needless are the outstand-
ing comforts and display for which
men struggle, sacrifice and suffer, even
to the extent of being almost ready to
barter their souls for the possessions
of this world His birth was thrilling
parable in action for all who think
that the abundance of things that a
man possesses Is life.
The shepherds found Christ by
searching for Him, just as we can do.
We will not go very far before we can
say: "I know not how that Beth
lehem Babe could in the God-head be;
I only know the manger Child has
brought Gods life to me-" They could
not keep silent concerning what they
had heard and seen, any more than
we could if we found Him as our Savior
and through Him came to know God
and understand His will. Mary kept all
the sayings In her heart, and 1t was
years later before she fully understood
their meaning. We can only come to
understand the mysteries OF the incar-
nation by following the example of the
virgin Mother, who pondered upon
what had occurred. We may store up
Gods word in our hearts, but our life,
labor and love will reveal the power
of His Gospel working out in our per-
sonality and character. 1t IS Impossible
for men to be secret disciples. Like the
shepherds, every believer has to publish
the glad tidings of the birth OF a
Savior which Is Christ the Lord.
