UnConCerned About Trade

ITO let administration spokesman
Il tell it, one would suppose
that this country had ceased to be
interested in what happens abroad,
even to the extent of getting an
order.
There is not the slightest concern
over the slump in Russian trade,
though it must have meant unem-
ployment for thousands. Neither is
there the slightest concern over
the recent British conference,
which promises to result in the
transfer of quite a bit of our Cana
dian trade to England.
Apparently, the administration
exhausted itself in negotiating that
st. Lawrence treaty. If it had been
little more deliberate, it might
have used that treaty to good adj
vantage while the conference was
in progress.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The ad-
IN ministration at Washington
could have done more to help bust
ness in the field Of foreign trade
than anywhere else. Strangely
enough, that the field in which it
seems to have dc1e least, if effort
is to be measured by results.
At all events, we have lost more
than our share of business in some
cases, notably in that of Russia.
One might excuse the administra-
ton because Of the great difficulties
involved, were it not for the con-
slant Dragging about what it has
not attempted. According to Sec
rotary of State Stimson and Secre-
tary of Treasury Mills, the admins
tration hasn't so much as mentioned
the subjects of debts to European
governments.
This is curious, in the light of that
moratorium which it proposed for
their express benefit last year. What
has caused the sudden and complete
silence?

have done, or failed to do, he has

You can't go back on the returns.
There are the tables in cold black
and white, showing what we have
lost, and still are losing. Some of
the loss could not be helped, of
course, because there was no mar
ket, but what about the shift of
Russian buying from this country
to Germany, or the prospective shift
in Canadian buying from this coun-
try to England?
What about the construction of
American plants abroad for no
other purpose than to beat the
tariff, affording employment to peo-
pie of other lands while our own
folks remain idle?

People Won't Be Fooled
WE have heard lot about dis
w armament and naval con-
ferences, which is all right, and a
lot more about desirability of join
ing the world court, which is true,
but what the American people want
to hear is something which promises
to improve business.
Neither are they sordid in their
souls because of this. They are
merely human.
They are being told that they
can look for the return of prosper
ity, regardless of what happens in
Europe. They are being told that
they ought to accept the Hoover
administration as wonderful, be-
cause it is not concerning itself
with what happens in Europe.
They are being told that indif-
ference toward Russia, the debt sit
uation, and trade alliances is
sign of Soundness and safety.
Some of them are deceived by the
balderdash. Some of them actually
swallow it as patriotic, but not

realize what we are losing; re-
alize how many men could be put
to work and how many mills could
be reopened if we were getting our
rightful share of the worlds bust

 most engaging story is that of Dr. Grace Mur- ray, 84-year-old traveller who stepped from plane on Saturday night at the Newark airport
 Having started from Honolulu days before, she made the trip by fast boat and plane.
 Youth is the time for adventuring; old age is supposedly to sit quietly with folded hands So runs the accepted theory.
 What delights us in Dr. Murray is that she re- fuses to accept any such ridiculous dictum. Hands made to grasp things withdrawal experinece and adventure. It takes no more energy of body to sit in plane or ship than it does in automo- bile But it does take energy of spirit and of that she has an astonishing amount.
 "One cannot just sit and be old lady she said.
 Considering that she has crossed the Atlantic twenty times the Pacific fifteen times has taken a 5000 mile trip up the Amazon, has motored 2,00C miles in northern Japan and has visited every coun- try she could think of she has than proved her point.
 Friday night she said, i've flew the Serras II loved the great snowfelds, stretching smooth and white.
 What I like best are rivers I have all of the great rivers of the world I feel that they are friends.
 T am so glad I lived long enough for flying. am fascinated by the lights of the towns blazing away below you like lost cancellations, and the great beacon lights that guide the planes way through the darkness"
 We salute Dr. Murray and wish her many hap by landings.

Horrible midnight of Christmas Eve.
 She had lain that night through uncomfortably curled among the pillows of the divan in the living room, sleeplesS, wretched, shamed Long after a thin streak of cold caylight crept across the room she had fallen into troubled sleen from which she had wakened up, to find Gar kneeling beside her. His ren1orse had been heartbreak- ing. He had been incoherent humble, self -debasing, burying his face against her shoulder like a little boy.
 @YouM hate me always. You'll never forgive me. I don't deserve ito have you forgive me, spelling yolIr Christmas. I was disgus.- ing. I won't ask you to forgive me"
 And she found that she could forgive him when he clung to her SO. and that such torglVlng was sweet.

 She did know. She knew Cars fastidecusness about his personal
  appearance. She could believe him when he said it would never hap pen again.
 During the days that followed he had been anxiously devoted, loving. humbly appreciative of her forgiveness.
