Politically minded Washington, reading thous-

cuation when it became known that General Charles
G. Dawes, our Ambassador to England, was returning
to this country.
Had the Ambassador resigned? who was going
to take his place? Or he returning simply to fur

for a while Then the State Department ended the
sport by announcing that General Dawes had been
granted months leave of absence that he might at
tend to his duties in connection with the Chicago
Worlds Fair. The General whose brother, Rufus
Dawes, is president Of the exposition is leading

"Wounds To Our Trade"

Last year, according to James D. Mooney, Presi-
dent Of the General Motors Export Company the au-
tomobie industry in the United States employed al
total of 1214,4 ,459 creative workers with an annual
wage total of over two billion dollars Approximately
3,5OO0O0 more employed dealers, garage men,
gasoline vendors drivers and in other occupations
created by the automobile industry.

ers and manufacturers should be heard we'll the

centage of foreign business for the entire American
automobile industry was 147 and that the total loss
of this foreign business would cost 184 900 workers
their jobs and about 100000 people their means Of
support.
"Our present foreign commerce of all kinds,
continued Mr. Mooney "now amounts to over 10 per-
cent of total trade and has been increasing stead
ily but the percentage of manufactured exports
has been growing far more rapidly Nothing more is
needed to show how vital stake as a nation has
become in this trade in manufactured artc-
les and how dangerous to national welfare is any
policy which will retard or cripple this interest.
"The truth is that the time has come when our
