FOREIGN Trade a Stabilizer

The value of foreign trade as a business stabillz-
er was never more clearly demonstrated than in 1927
according to Julius Klein, director Of the United States
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Exports Of the United States during 1927 exceed
ed s4925,O 600 600, a gain of IS per cent in volume and
2 1-2 per cent in value over 1926, the discrepancy be-
ing due to declining prices. This result represents a
steady, normal rate OF advance and was achieved IN
considerable measure by several industries which, hav-
ing sustained a slackening Of domestic trade, found a
most helpful outlet to the foreign mrakets.
Mr.. Klein reports that as a result of this expan-
sion in the nations exports. together with the decline
in the value of our imports, has resulted in doubling
our Favorable" balance Of trade which will exceed
$500 600 600. the largest since 1924. This favorable
balance through the channels OF commerce has been
almost wiped out. however, by the expenditures OF
American tourists abroad. Large sums have also gone
20 foreign countries in the form Of loans( which dur
ing the year reached the record volume Of s~l'eoo'Ooo'-
900.
Although domestic business was somewhat adj
verselv affected by the sag in prices, the trend since
mid-year has been upward, and the figures for Decem-
her were approximately the same as during the same
month in 1926. Throughout the domestic depression
neriod. which was most noticeable during the first
half Of the year. American industries stabilized their
.,les by increasing foreign shipments. Large and
profitable markets for American goods were opened
during the year, and industry is now well prepared
mot only to fill the demands Of this market but to ex-
-and such demands.
Great progress mas Oeeh "aoe ue Ps'
sreasinr the efficiency Of production, but 1927 eclips-
sd all former years in this respect. This is true not
AMY of manufacturing industries but also of agrioul-
ture. One of the most encouraging Developments OF
he year was the constant interest shown in regard to
methods for improved efficiency in distribution, a
growing tendency to narrow down that space between
=. ,roducer and consumer. This has resulted in
greater cooperation in both agricultural and indus
.~;.I lines. a better, more efficient grouping Of in
dustrial capital, and spread Of the cooperative move
ment among the farming population.
One of the features of Director Klein's report is
that dealing with the Latin-American trade. Exports
to South America during 1927 exceeded s4oO'OOO'OoO'
an increase Of approximately 100 per cent since 1922.
Tv.s. with every South American country and prac-
tieaIly all Central American republics showed q sub
stsntial gain which indicates that the propaganda
a,..eminted By radical leaders in those countries has
not been very effective SO far as affecting American
commerce.

The Brownsville Airport

The decision of Postmaster General New to I'm
mediately open negotiations with the Mexican gov
eminent for tho establishment Of an air mail service
over the Atlanta. New Orleans. Houston. Corpus Chris
Il, Brownsville, Tampico route to the Mexican capital,
may be taken as an assurance that the demand for air
port facilities In Brownsville will be created by the
time the city can complete m airport.
Brownsville is fully aware Of what the Mexican
reply to Postmaster General New will be. The Mex
lean government has repeatedly ~signified that the
establishment Of air mail service is greatly desired,
and that the route suggested by the u. S. Postal De-
partment Is the most logical. Planes operating over
this route can carry maximum loads, and according to
aviation experts the efficiency of the route is approx
imately rs per cent greater than q higher altitude
route by way Of Ell Paso or Laredo.
The plans of the postal department, as announc-
cd In Associated Press dispatches Wednesday, indicate
that Brownsville will be the concentration point for
air mail. Mail from the East will
come by way Of New Orleans and Houston, and the
Western mail by way Of Fort Worth and Houston,
making Brownsville the port through which the heavy
volume Of mail will flow. This signifies that Browns
Vile will also become the principal port for the
commercial air service which will eventually be de-
veloped between the United States and Mexico and
gradually extend southwark to the other Latin-Ameri-
can countries.
Acceptance by the Mexican government Of Ameri-
can proposals Is expected to be followed by establish
ment Of the route as soon as airport facilities can be
provided. Practically all cities on the route have air
fields, all of which will need Improvements before
they can be utilized by the air mail service. Houston,
Corpus Christi, New Orleans have already perfected
plans for modern airports, and the completion Of the
Brownsville airport will assure ample facilities on the
American end Of the route. The Mexican government
has announced that army air fields, located in Tam
pico and several other large cities of the southern re-
public, would be utilized for this purpose, and extens-
i've improvements on the Mexico City and Tampico
fields are under way.
Brownsville will be the center Of the aerial activi-
ties Of the two countries, and the benefits which will
accrue to this city will be in direct proportion to the
facilities the city provides for the handling of the air
traffic which is practically certain TO reach large Pro-
portions within a comparatively brief period.

THE DEFEATED PRAYER BOOK
New York Evening Post)

Il IN not easy for Americans to understand the
profound excitement caused In England By the rejee-
tion In the House Of Commons Of the revised Church
OK England prayer book. The House Of Lords. which
passed the measure earlier In the week. was crowd
ed as seldom before. Ths Commons saw debates more
stirring than any since the declaration Of war; party
lines were completely swept away; the Archbishop OF
Canterbury was broken with grief. appealing for calm
in -this time Of anxiety and confusion" and tia crisis
10 described IN "ths worst since the Reformation"
What lies behind this explosion. which was as IN
expected In England as it seems battling to usf It is
not n clear issue of modernism vs.. fundamentalism-
though modernism" has something to do with 1t.
1t Is a mixture Of politics, theological subtleties, &C.
clesiastical law, economies and fear.
The Church OF England prayer book has not been
officially revised since it was first prescribed by the
Uniformity Act OF 1862. In practice a great many
changes have been made in it, and the present revision
is party a recognition Of these changes. More and
more people have demanded, for instance, to be mar
ried without promising to "obey," and the revision
formally authorizes what q great many c~lergymen were
doing anyhow. In several other particulars alterations.
none of them apparently very important, bring the
book a little nearer to 1927 than to 1862. II it had
been q question Of these improvements alone, how
ever, there would have been no excitement.
The serious objection, and the one that ran
through all the debate, was that the changes steered
laid down by the Reformation and Eve quote from a
report Of the Ecclesiastical Committed "tend in the
direction Of an approximation" to the doctrines Of
Roman Catholicism.
Thus this revision Of the prayer book seems to be
a curious mixture of frank modernism in detail and
elusive reaction in principle. Its opponents do not OBJ
ject to the modernism, but they do object violently to
the betrayal of the Reformation which they scent be.
tween its lines.
The Church Of England is an established church
A great deal Of its support, financial and otherwise
comes from the fact that it is part Of the Government
and the Constitution. Now, as a result Of the defeat
of the revised prayer book, disestablishment Is a seri-
Gus threat. And Mr.. Baldwin asks the solemn ques-
tion, "How many Of US believe that the church would
survive establishment"

The World and All

By Charles p. Driscoli

Perhaps I have no business writing about pic-
lures ! cannot draw a house without making It look
like the silly houses in the comic strips. When / con-
verse with artists, / either spend the time listening,
or talk about our rapidly improving relations with
Latin America.
My education In art was somewhat unsystematic,
I fear. In the one-room rural school / attended in
Kansas drawing was not taught, and without the
foundation teaching | found it advisable to neglect art
classes when l went to higher schools.
But we had pictures at home. Our family grocer
in Wichita gave as premiums with his groceries little
green tickets which, when redeemed, were good for
art portfolios" These portfolios were large and we'll
printed collections of reproductions of famous paint
ings, with a little story of the picture and artist under
each picture.
We had a large family that ate many groceries. In
a year we accumulated a stack OF portfolios that in
Guided probably a thousand pictures. On rainy days,
and when patient Company came, We dug out the art,
.POred over it, and discussed it.
That art in the portfolios was good. The originals
still hang in the worlds great galleries. Some of them
| see from time to time at the Metropolitan or Aston
galleries, in New York.
But | have just been looking at art that is very
different. 1t is the art Of George Bellows, whom /
have admired since l first saw his work, a dozen years
ago. Alfred A. Knopf recently issued a handsome
book, George w. Bellows: His Autographs" and it
is this book that moves me to these reflections.
George Bellows did not make pictures like those
in the portfolio series Of my boyhood. His groups are
never quite smugly correct, and his individuals never
