No. l Exporter

Many people speak of foreign trade in rela-
ton to this country as if it were an academic
question Usually it is spoken of in the future
tense, with the implication that heretofore the
United States has had but minor interest in
world markets. Also, cheap foreign labor is
usually thought of as a competitive impossible
lily, to be avoided at all costs. How abysmally
uniformed many of us are on the facts OF
our own national exstence!.
The United States, before the war, was the
foremost exporting nation of the world. We
could not live alone without benefit Of foreign
trade and maintain our standard Of living,
even if we wanted to. The products of our
factories and farms 60 to every corner of
the globe In 1888, our twenty best markets
abroad for finished manufactures included
Great Britain, Argentina Philippines, Japan,
South Africa Russia, Brazi, Australia, France,
Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Sweden, Colombia,
Belgium, Netherlands, Netherlands W IS t
India, and the Netherlands Indies. Who
says we are provincial?
Moreover our exports were of an almost
linitless variety, ranging from toys to trac-
us little. For example, we out-traded Japan
in Latin America by thirteen to one. For
every dollar of goods Japan sold, we exported
thirteen dollars worth to our southern neigh
bors. In other words, our share of total i'm
ports into Latin America before the war was
301 per cent, while Japan's share was 2.6
per cent.
The question of whether we will trade with
the world is little short Of silly, just as is
the question Of whether our mass produc-
ton and the efficiency of our workers can
meet the competition of underpaid producers
across the seas. We have done both. Trade
barriers at home or abroad will hurt us more
than they hurt the other fellow. -

Where Legislation Ends

Congress has passed some good and neces'
sary benefits for returning veterans, such as
financial help and job guarantee for former
workers. But Congress can do only so much.
Many veterans are going to need and deserve
other and less tangible assistance.
Probably the Owens-I Illinois Glass Co. is not
the only company which merits commentator
for considering these veterans needs, but
theirs is the first outline to come to hand.
In the sales and junior executive depart
ments veterans already returned are work.

Refresher courses are given to explain any

With The AEF
Worlds Greatest Hotf0ot

Recently, at a command post,
there was an innocent looking stake
sticking up in the center Of their
motor park. One morning one of
the Joes pulled it up and a half
pound or so of dynamite went off
deep in the ground 1t injured no
one, however. '@
Investigation disclosed it h d
been attached to a detonator cord
hooked up to 1000 pounds of dyna-
mite buried a short distance away.
A truck had become stuck in the
mud little while before, and its
driver had spun his wheels until
they went so deep that the de-
tonator cord was cut. Otherwise.
But the museum has some even
trickier. For instance, there's the
one tommy found in which the
Germans had placed a package of
INT under an electric light shade
in a house.
All you had to do was press the
button.
On one of the long tables there's

their return they are met by veterans co-ordi:
majors who explain any changes in procedure,

war-acquired handicaps
Such activities cannot be legis1ated or made
compulsory. But they should be encoura ICED

tainly pay large dividends in helping men

Speaking Of Congress

bill has been introduced in the House
which would create sort of West Point-An-
napols-New London to train women officers
for various branches of the service in peace
time. The debate on the measure promises
to be vicarious Battle of the Arnazons'
which should be something to watch.
But what intrigues us at the moment is
that the bill was introduced by-O, shades of
southern chivalry, Scarlet OHara, crinoline
and magnolias-the gentleman from Georgia,
Rep. E. E. Cox.
Can j. be that the day is coming when the
southern colonel will be identifiable not by
a gray van dyke, but by short gray bob
and, perhaps. a trifle too much lpstick?

Wendell Willkie

wendell WILKES death has shocked people
which during his later life was sharply divided
for and against him. No higher tribute car
be paid to him than by the fact that however
averse many were to his position on primary
matters, none ever accused him Of insincerity
or compromising his integrity for political sup
port.
Indeed, it was his outspoken frankness and
plain speaking that, paradoxically, won for
him thousands Of friends and as many thou.
sands of enemies. Because he could not cut
corners and had to 'have his say he gained
the reputation among elements of the popu-
lation of being eccentric and unsound and
therefore untitled for preferment. Yet despite
these characteristics Mr.. Wilkie, polling o.
333, 801 votes in the 1910 national election for
the presidency, received the heaviest support
Of any republican candidate for that office,
successful or defeated.
MIR. WILKES career during that campaign
and his subsequent activities are too well
known to require review here. It is the in
fluence he would have exercised in the post
war era, had he lived, that concerns us and,
we believe, the American people, more direct
ly.
When the war is over and this nation settles
down to performing its share in reshaping
world affairs with justice for all countries
and governments, Wilkes rugged, outspoken
denunciation of pressure groups and isolation
ism would have had inestimable value, not
only at home but in all quarters OF the earth.
When he declared, as he did shortly before
his death, that the platform of neither major
party dealt adequately with the problems of
peace and this nations position in world at
fairs, he gave clear indication that his efforts
during the years ahead would have been con-
centrated upon helping to shape the nations
course toward sound internationalism.
He will be missed if not in the councils OF
state, then in building up public opinion for
having this country take its true place in
world commonwealth which, whether o r
government likes it or not will offer the great
est guarantee of security against further wars.

A. T. & N. Reorganization
Finally Approved by ice

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-tRHThe
interstate commerce commission
today approved final terms of the
reorganization of the Alabama,
Tennessee and Northern Railroad
corporation under the name of the
Alabama, Tennessee and Northern
Railroad company and transfer of
the property to the new company.
The ICC granted permission to
the new company to issue not ex-
ceeding $1.718,7 700 of general-mort-
gage series 1-2 per cent income
bonds, due January 1, 1892 and to
issue bond scrip certificates.
Also approved would be "a IS
year contingent interest note due
January l, 1857 to the reconstruc-
ton finance corporation in an
amount not exceeding $271, 407; and
issuance of up to 1887 shares of
common stock without par value.

the 1900 pounds of dynamite which
blew up the Naples postoffice.
There's one that looks like a
bowling ball, spherical mine
made of concrete which the Ger
mans tried rolling downhill onto
advancing infantry. And next to
that is an oblong item that looks
like the box of blossoms you bring
home when you remember wife's
birthday.
They go on and on like that.
There's the floating mine with the
antenna like an umbrella that the
Nazis hoped to use against our
pontoon bridges in the Garigliano
river last spring. And there's the
BOBBY trap killer mine picked up
in Tunisia with picture of
Churchill wearing a derby and
bearing the message: Happy New
Year"
The unkindest one of all was
found by Maj. Pickett in corner
of the living room ola house.
There was bar, and on the bar
full bottle of wine. 1t didn't
make any difference whether you
lifted the bottle or placed a little
extra pressure on it. Either way,
it activated a cap cut into t h e

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. - up -
In an extraordinary formal state
ment, Secretary of State Cordell
Hull today objected to published re-
ports that he would be asked to
serve Thomas E. Dewey as for
eign policy adviser should the re-
publican nominee be elected pres
ident.
.'I wish. to make clear" Hull
said, "that my support and loyalty
belong primarily to the government
and it's present official head, Pres
ident Roosevelt. And in order that
no American citizen may be mis-
led this will continue to be my at
titude."
Hull said he did not know whe!h-
er the reports of Governor Dewey
intentions were authorized or I'M
authorized but added that he felt
that stating his position Eat this
early stage" would preserve the
policy of non-partisan efforts" in
the development of international
peace plans.
The New York Herald Tribune
published this morning story as
serting that Governor Dewey, if
elected, plans to ask Hull ito re-
main with the government and
work toward the building of an in
ternational peace organization"
The story said it was not known
exactly what arrangement would
be proposed, whether Hull would
be asked to remain as State de-
partment head or serve under Dew
ey as an adviser.
1.-THE prospect of this arrange
ment is based upon two things"
the Herald Tribune said. First,
Governor Dewey's conviction that
the working out of international
peace plans must be bipartisan
through the leadership of both poll
teal parties; and second, his high
regard for Mr.. Hull
Hull issued his formal statement
from his hotel apartment where
he has been confined for a week
with a. cold. Ordinarily he declines
to make even informal comment on
published reports pending the re-
celpt of information through Off
cial channels.

is complimentary to that
portion of the work done by the
present national administration to
insure lasting peacey Hull de-

Revenge

victed of charging a roomer above ceiling
prices drew such a stiff fine that she is going
to have to give the plaintiff the rooming house
if her appeal Of the case is unsuccessful.

landlords and landlades of late, we're con-
WINGED that giving ones adversary rooning
house would be about the sweetest possible
revenge in these parlous times.

With Two Pair Pants

A crusade for the return of the two-pants
suit has been launched by Rep. E. P. Scriv-
ner, who is a Kansas Republican and, we
have no doubt, crusading knight whose blue
serge trousers glisten as did the shining ar
NOR of the knights of old.
Mr.. Scrivner addresses his plea for the sta
tus quo ante belum in gents clothing to OPA
Director Chester Bowles. Through all the
years of experience along with millions of
Others" says the petition, II am convinced
of the economy of the extra pair. In view
of the actual surplus Of both wool and
cotton, is there any possible chance of restora-
ton of two-pants suits?"
This, of course, is far cry from the days
when the Republicans were not asking, but
promising things in tWos-tWo cars in every
garage and two chickens in every pot. New
theless we believe that Mr.. Scrivners modest
petition will have wide appeal.
1.-TWO trousers on every hanger" It's nice
campaign slogan. It's challenge to the OPA.
And it will strike a responsive chord in mil
lions of hearts .,....
What Mr.. Scrivner actually is doing is plead
ing in an oblique sort Of way for the white
collar worker. 1t might even turn out that
the Kansas congressman is beating Vice Pres
ident Wallace at his own game of championing
the common man.
Like the weather, the white collar worker
plight has been much talked about and little
acted upon since the war began. Fixed in
come, little or no overtime and higher living
costs create his big problem. But there are
subdivisions. One of them strikes him, if we
may come down to cases, right in the seat
Of the pants.
This problem doesn't strike the man who
stands at a machine all day, or the seated
factory worker in overalls or coveralls. It
doesn't affect the executive who can combat
the destructive friction with a swivel chair
by wearing a dozen suits in rotation. But it
does matter to sedentary workers who must
maintain neat and deluding look Of pros
perity and still watch their budgets. For them
an almost-new coat and a pair Of seatless
trousers to match are no joke
OF course the two-pants suit creates its own
problems. 1t requires care in alternate use
of the spare parts. You just don't wear out
one pair of trousers and start on the other.
for use and frequent cleanings change the
coats shade and texture It is no simple
jacket-and- stacks arrangement
And there's no handy reminder to switch
like the blue toothbrush for morning and the
red one for night.
But we imagine that millions would still
like to undertake the two-pants responsibility
again. And if they get it, they might elevate
Mr.. Scrvner to a niche in the hall OF fan7e
right beside Vice President Tom Marshall ane
his Scent cigar. They both knew what the
1Aeple wanted.

tary would refuse to do so.
