Liberals tribeslnen are on the war
path again at the very time the LII
berian Committee of the League OF Ma
tions is trying to work out some plan
Mt Geneva for the reorganization OF
the republic.
Announcement of the killing Of 80
natives and the resumption OF tribal
fighting after a long armistice came
as a disappointment to State Depart
ment officials, who have been working
for years to restore permanent peace
in the African republic through for
eign assistance.
Enforced labor and the collection OF
taxes by stern measures have been the
basic causes of the upset conditions
which have prevailed in Liberia for
three years.
Recognition Withdrawn.
The State Department has endeav-
ored to do juctice to the 10000 Afro
Americans along the coSat, who are the
rulers of the country. as well as the
1000 900 tribesmen in the interior.
Former Secretary Of State StimSon
was so enraged by the participation of
Liberian officials in profits realized
from supplying contract labor for for
eign countries that he withdrew United
States recognition of the republic and
denounced the labor system as one ap-
proximating slavery.
Investigators of the League of Ma
tions reported deplorable labor and san
itary conditions in the Negro republic
Their report showed that natives had
fled from the coast region into the jun
gle to escape the oppression Of cf1-
cials.
President Edwin j. Barclay and the
Liberian Congress have rejected various
plans suggested by the league COM
mittee for the reorganization of the
government on the ground that they
limited the nations privileges The
committee, on which President Roose-
velt is represented by Maj. Gen. Clan

Tor the administration of finances and

SEPTEMBER TRADE
BALANCE IMPROVED
Month Shows Exports $13,-
100000 Ahead Of Imports,
Due to Normal Factors.
~ the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press
Higher domestic prices and better in
ternational dollar exchange rates, plus
normal seasonal changes, were credited
yesterday by officials with helping the
United States to turn an unfavorable
S2I, 900 900 trade balance in August into
. favorable balance Of $l3,000,000 last
month.
In announcing that September i'm
ports we're $147,0o0, 900, against exports
Of $160,000,000, E. A. Tupper of the
Commerce Departments division Of eco
nomic research said it was natural for
per cent above August because Of sea
sonal factors.
But the increase was % per cent.
Jumping from s131 .ooo, 900 in August.
Exchange Rate Helps,
More favorable dollar exchange was
credited with at least a portion of this
reversal. The exchange, omcials said,
also was reflected in imports, which
usually show an August September drop
Of only 1 per cent. but slumped last
month from $155 .ooo. 900 to $147 900 900.
The dollar value OF foreign trade dur
ing the last three months shows sub
stantial gains from the corresponding
third quarter we're valued at rs per
cent more than in the same quarter In
1882 and imports at 65 per cent more.
Nevertheless. Tupper said, it should
be borne in mind that while the guam
titles Of goods moving in foreign trade
had increased substantially, a consid-
cradle part Of the advance In both eX.
port and import values Is attributable
to higher dollar prices.
Export prices, which have been aided
by an increased demand both at home
and abroad. have moved upward. Be-
tween March and September the aver

vanced 81 per cent. wheat 80 per cent.

Larger shipments OF cotton accounted
for a substantial share Of the $29 .000,-

tween August and September.
Export commodities increasing in
