MARCH CUSTOMS REVENUES $62,000,000 We now have the official estimate of March exports. It is $250,000,000. This makes $2,080,000,000 worth of exports from the United States since October 1, 1922, and the new tariff law became operative September 22. The total exports for the corresponding period October 1, 1921, to March 31, 1922, were $1,093,000,000, so that in six months time an increase has been recorded just short of $700,000,000. The Democratic tariff law signed by President Wilson October 3, 1913, recorded $1,315,000,000 in exports during the first six months of its existence. Such figures as these must be very discouraging to the Democratic party and its allies who were so cock-sure that the new tariff law would wall out imports and wall in exports. Much to the surprise of the proponents of the new law it has permitted imports to increase something like 44 per cent comparing October-March, 1922-23 with the corresponding period under the Democratic law, which was frankly written without "a line of protection in it," to quote its author, Mr. Underwood. The stock argument of the Democratic party when the new law was under debate was that it would be so prohibitive of imports that our foreign competitors, unable to sell in the American market, would hence curtail their buying from us. Now, it must be admitted that exports are not increasing in the same ratio that imports are coming in. The former have increased but 16.5 per cent, the two periods compared. The logical deduction from the Democratic argument would be that since imports have increased so greatly exports should follow suit—that the more foreign nations sold to us the more they would buy from us. The statistics show that our favorable balance of trade for the six months indicated above was, in the 1921-22 period $468,000,000 and give commissioner of education supervision over American history text books, and the state of Wisconsin has recently enacted similar law aimed at the same evil. Some years ago Oregon excluded from its schools a text book that was considered un-American, and now there is agitation in the District of Columbia for similar action against a book used in the high schools of the city of Washington. This latter agitation is attracting more than local interest. Of all cities in the country, the schools of the national capital should be freest from the influence of propagandists. Other municipalities naturally look to the Washington schools to find their standard for the teaching of American history. For that reason the attempted reform at the seat of government will be watched with widespread attention. Citizens' organizations, the Sons of the American Revolution, newspapers, and prominent individuals are incensed at the board of education for retaining a book that has been under bitter criticism for over a year. The people of Washington have been so insistent that a public hearing on the matter has been set. The airing that will be given the dispute at that hearing will afford the public an opportunity to judge as to the merits of the text book and the fairness of the criticism against it. Educational officers throughout the country who are animated by ya determination to have their schools thoroughly Americanized will do well to acquaint themselves with what has been done in New York, Washington and Oregon, and to follow closely the revelations that are promised at the Washington hearing. GOVERNMENT AFTER FAKE ORGANIZATIONS Men Who Swindle War Veterans to Be Prosecuted must be admitted that exports are not increasing in the same ratio that imports are coming in. The former have increased but 16.5 per cent, the two periods compared. The logical deduction from the Democratic argument would be that since imports have increased so greatly exports should follow suit—that the more foreign nations sold to us the more they would buy from us. The statistics show that our favorable balance of trade for the six months indicated above was, in the 1921-22 period, $468,000,000, and in the 1922-23 period something like $200,000,000. Or, to put it another way, we imported in the 1921-22 period $1,325,000,000 worth of goods, and exported $1,793,000,000 worth; while in the 1922-23 period we imported about $1,800,000,000 worth, and exported $2,008,000,000 worth. Both sides of the account increased during the 1922-23 period, but there was a decided tendency to approach that even balance for which those who condemn favorable trade balances have been striving. Of course, with the accounts running so evenly we must ultimately sustain a loss by way of payment to foreign governments for ship freightage, money sent and spent abroad, and other items included in what are called "invisible balances." However, the Republicans are not worrying at this juncture knowing full well that the tremendous domestic consumption of this country, which has created a shortage of labor in mills and on farms, is mainly responsible for the falling off in foreign sales. Our foreign exports have always been made up of surplus, and today domestic requirements are creating a deficit. HISTORY TEXT BOOKS UNDER SCRUTINY One of the surest guarantees against the evil effects of internationalism and communism is the growing public interest in the character of American history text books in use in our public schools. To the propagandist who seeks to cultivate an internationalist sentiment by minimizing the incidents of history from which American patriotism draws its inspiration there is no vehicle more available than the text books that the younger generation is studying. The communist, too, realizes that his most fertile field of efforts in the educational system, and the discussions of government incident to a presentation of the facts of American history offer him a ready acquaint themselves with what has been done in New York, Washington and Oregon, and to follow closely the revelations that are promised at the Washington hearing. GOVERNMENT AFTER FAKE ORGANIZATIONS Men Who Swindle War Veterans to Be Prosecuted Spurious war veterans' organizations and publications preying upon the sympathies of the American public are to be driven out of existence by the combined forces of the justice and postoffice departments. Aggressive investigations by the two departments in the last few months with the aid of commercial and advertising organizations have practically completed the chain of evidence necessary to federal prosecution. A quick clean-up campaign with many arrests is imminent. Efforts to stop the practices of bogus stock salesmen, certain publications and organizations, who ply a fertile soliciting trade among disabled war veterans located in government hospitals, will be made by the Disabled American Veterans of the World War. It was announced by Captain C. Hamilton Cook, of Buffalo, N.Y., national commander. Captain Cook is engaged in making a national survey of all schools and hospitals for veterans, not with the idea of criticizing the government, in which he states, his organization has never lost faith, but to improve the service and protection given to disabled soldiers. Cases of waste and extravagance have been probed, he says, and evidences of graft will be turned over to the department of justice. "While the men are in government hospitals," explained Captain Cook, "they are on the regular hospital pay roll. This makes them easy prey for money sharks of every description. We are particularly anxious to protect them from copper stock and oil stock salesmen, the worst parasites of all. "I am not ready to reveal any specific instances, but the evidence is in my hands of numerous cases of exploitation and the matter is to be taken up at Washington. We are trying to inculcate the spirit of thrift among the men. This lure of promising investments—mostly fake—is our biggest obstacle.

Within com two Hague c held, primarily war and esti To the propagandist who seeks to cultivate an internationalist sentiment by minimizing the incidents of history from which American patriotism draws its inspiration there is no vehicle more available than the text books that the younger generation is studying. The communist, too, realizes that his most fertile field of effort is in the educational system, and the discussions of government incident to a presentation of the facts of American history offer him a ready opportunity of instilling his destructive theories into the minds of students. The recent report of a special committee of the New York board of education shows that the danger is very real. The committee adopted a set of specifications with which they were agreed that a proper American history text book should accord. Then they proceeded to analyze the books in use in the public schools of New York City. The results were astounding. The condemned books did not rely on direct misstatements of fact to convey their impressions, but by studied omissions, exaggeration of unimportant particulars, crafty phrasing, and selected quotations, the student was led to believe that the revolution was only a misunderstanding between nations with the blame attaching about equally to the colonies and Great Britain, that the British were practically justified in impressing American seamen and that the war of 1812 was all a mistake, that congress has always been corrupt, and that socialist movements are making a stronger appeal to the thoughtful minds of the country. The New York legislature has had under consideration a bill that would them from copper stock and oil stock salesmen, the worst parasites of all. "I am not ready to reveal any specific instances, but the evidence is in my hands of numerous cases of exploitation and the matter is to be taken up at Washington. We are trying to inculcate the spirit of thrift among the men. This lure of promising investments—mostly fake—is our biggest obstacle. Captain Cook reported that bootlegers and peddlers are also very active in their trade among the disabled veterans. The conditions thus brought about are so serious in some cases, he said, that the government will be asked to provide special hospitals where the victims can be sent and cured. Among the improvements in the present system of vocational training which are being sought by the organization, according to the veterans' chief, are the placement of men in educational institutions recognized nationally, and the lengthening of certain professional courses. "We hope to obtain from the president an executive order permitting the United States veterans' bureau to grant additional specialized training so that the men can take a qualified examination before assuming their places in civil life," he said. "We ask the employers to co-operate with us in giving the men opportunity for jobs." "We are seeking a reasonable compensation for the men who have reached the maximum of physical improvement in the hospitals but are not fitted to take up any vocational training.

"We hope shortly to make a piccé congress to appropriate money for the establishment of medical schools in which these diseases can be properly studied." Captain Cook announced that delegates will be sent to the conference at Geneva in July at which representatives of disabled veterans' organizations of every country will be present. The three-fold object of the conference is to study conditions which produce war, establish a universal system of service to disabled veterans and to attempt a solution to the present European muddle. AGITATORS HATE WORK Clamors for the freeing of "political prisoners" appears to have borne some fruit, though probably not in the way of ardent advocates of such a policy desired. President Harding's act in commuting the sentences of eight members of the I. W. W. to expire at once on return is clemency with a string attached. Possibly those granted this freedom may prefer it to remaining in prison, but we imagine they are disappointed that they are not permitted to stay here and shine as martyrs to the cause or attempting to subvert the government. "Wobblies" thrive only where there is plenty and they can live without working. When they are deported they may find conditions in some other lands not so favorable for a life of ease with good food thrown in. And they may leave prison here only to land in jail elsewhere. In shipping the unsavory bunch out of the country we shall gain that much., though it may be at the expense of other lands. Possibly they will join their prophet, "Big Bill" Hayward, in Russia, the most fitting place for them. HIGH PRICES IN GERMANY and navy have demanded that the United States government send ships of war and troops to fight the Turks. Is our civilization a myth Is the Christian religion and the Christian church a failure? By no means. The world has advanced far in civilization, despite war; and this advance has been due to the Christian religion and the Christian church, largely. It is the proud record of our republic that it has never taken up the sword or resorted to war and given battle except for justice and righteousness. The moral and spiritual progress of humanity for a century or more has had its source in the leadership of America. Does armistice day mean no army or navy? Does it mean unpreparedness? It is a sad commentary on human nature that jealousy and hate overcome friendship and love. There are stringent laws against murder and other crimes, yet murder and other crimes are committed. That is why a police force is necessary—to arrest criminals and to punish crime. The same rule applies to nations. No matter how many laws or treaties or agreements there are mong nations to outlaw and punish international crimes, including war, some nations will violate the laws and agreements. This is precisely why it is necessary for nations to maintain a police force known as an army and navy. It is called preparedness—for what? For possible war. Whereas, we hallow the name of peace on armistice day, there will be no universal and perpetual peace until there is a regeneration of the human heart, and greed, jealousy and selfishness are eliminated. To accomplish this will require something more than human agency or known machinery or international conferences and agreements. The peace of the world is to be found in the moral and spiritual forces of life, arising out of human effort aided by a higher power. Is each colonial divines, whose greatest work was in England, and who went to the colonies as evangelists, returning to England and more delightful fields. Americans revere the memory of Whitfield and Wesley, but they revere the memory of Washington and Jelerson more, who warned against foreign political entanglements. Sir George Paish would make the United States responsible for all the woes of war, economic and financial. He would, if he could, compel the United States to shoulder the burden of Europe, while Great Britain, the real head of the league of nations, gathers in the plums. For cunning and calm diplomacy the English are noted. When it comes to British interests, all English statesmen, no matter of what party, get together and chant the same tune. Then is the time for Uncle Sam to look wise and keep his weather eye open. INDIAN TIMBER Extensive valuation surveys of timber lands owned by individual Indians and Indian tribes are now being conducted by the department of the interior. The purpose of the surveys is to furnish data giving the amount, kind and quality of timber on forests so that Indian timber may be advertised for sale. Some of the largest timber sales ever made by the United States government have been made on Indian reservations. Five of the sales have each comprised approximately 500,000,000 feet, board measure. The income from sales of Indian timber is expected next year to exceed $2,000,000 of which individual Indians or Indian tribes receive over 90 per cent, the remainder being used for protection of the forests against fire, insect infestation and trespass. NOTHING DOING A conspicuous part of the communist program is the campaign among small farmers. It has been carefully HIGH PRICES IN GERMANY Germany for some time advertised by passing tourists as the country where everybody at all times could buy everything cheaply—has now reached an end and in some cases passed the world price level for practically all goods, whether edible or otherwise. In many instances German prices are even higher than prices in France, England, North and South America. At the present writing (Feb. 21) hotel rooms bring from $20 a day—something unheard of before in Germany. All along the line prices have reached and often surpassed those paid in the rest of the world. The German merchants put their prices up when the mark hit 53,000 to the dollar, basing their computations on goods said to have been bought at that rate. Later when the dollar dropped back to 18,000 and less, the prices remained high and in fact many increased daily, in spite of the drop in the value of foreign money. Any further advance in the value of the dollar will in no way reduce prices in foreign money, merchants and others now having boosted their prices to the world level, keep them there by daily increases—regardless of whether the mark goes up or down. DOES ARMISTICE DAY MEAN PERPETUAL PEACE? Celebration of the anniversary of armistice day, marking the close of the world war, brings mingled joy and sorrow—joy to those who prayed for peace, sorrow to those who mourn for loved ones. Armistice day is observed not to revive the memories of war, but to hallow the name of peace. Yet the thought arises, does armistice day mean perpetual peace? If not, is what we call civilization a myth? Is the Christian religion a failure? Within comparatively recent years, two Hague conventions have been held, primarily to help put an end to war and establish peace; yet during peace on armistice day, there will be no universal and perpetual peace until there is a regeneration of the human heart, and greed, jealousy and selfishness are eliminated. To accomplish this will require something more than human agency or known machinery or international conferences and agreements. The peace of the world is to be found in the moral and spiritual forces of life, arising out of human effort aided by a higher power. Is each individual prepared to take the only step required. Universal and international peace can come only through the prayerful effort of each individual to rise above the common weakness of mankind. COAXING UNCLE SAM INTO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Recently, and on the same day, three English statesmen renewed their efforts to coax Uncle Sam to enter the league of nations. The new premier, Bonar Law, in a public address at Glasgow, said: "I trust that the time may come, when in some way or other, it (the United States) will be associated with the league of nations." Sir George Palish declared that the responsibility for world trade depression rests with the United States; its refusal to purchase Europe's goods, and its refusal to enter the league of nations. The retiring British premier, Lloyd George, in an address in Whitfield tabernacle, London, said: "John Wesley and George Whitfield will take America by the hand and lead her into the golden portals of the league of nations." Is it strange that well-informed British statesmen are oblivious of the fact that the American people in 1920 voted to keep out of the league of nations? This verdict may not have been sufficiently loud to penetrate London fogs and the British intelligence office. But the fact remains that the attitude of a large majority of the American people toward the league of nations has not changed in two years. Obviously there are powerful reasons why the statesmen of Great Britain, regardless of party, are anxious to induce Uncle Sam to put his legs under the round table of the league, and help carry the burdens and responsibilities of Europe's war, and the expenses of the league, with its costly machinery. Lloyd George failed to bring Uncle Peace on armistice day, there will be no universal and perpetual peace until there is a regeneration of the human heart, and greed, jealousy and selfishness are eliminated. To accomplish this will require something more than human agency or known machinery or international conferences and agreements. The peace of the world is to be found in the moral and spiritual forces of life, arising out of human effort aided by a higher power. Is each individual prepared to take the only step required. Universal and international peace can come only through the prayerful effort of each individual to rise above the common weakness of mankind. NOTHING DOING A conspicuous part of the communist program is the campaign among small farmers. It has been carefully developed, but without indication of success thus far. A farmer does not take kindly to the idea of having his crops confiscated and disposed of by the government while he is left to starve. That is precisely what has happened in Russia, a fact that is more responsible for the famine than any other single influence. ORDINANCE NO. 437.

Yet the thought arises, does armistice day mean perpetual peace? If not, is what we call civilization a myth? Is the Christian religion a failure? Within comparatively recent years, two Hague conventions have been held, primarily to help put an end to war and establish peace; yet during that period five different wars have been waged. At the close of the second Hague convention, held in 1907, it was solemnly declared that the greatest progress toward universal peace, in all the world's history, had been made. The peace treaty signed at Versailles included a scheme to unite the leading nations of the world in a bond to keep the peace, and mutually protect the political and territorial integrity of its members. From that day to this, a large portion of continental Europe has been engaged in war or war-like demonstrations. The disarmament conference in Washington was looked upon as a long step toward peace, for it limited the naval armament of the leading powers, and inaugurated a program of economy not only desirable but necessary. So-called pacifists and representatives of peace organizations have petitioned the president to call an international convention for the purpose of outlawing war among nations. All civilized nations outlaw war, and have done so for many years; yet wars have occurred. Many pacifists who have been advocating peace and no army Obviously there are powerful reasons why the statesmen of Great Britain, regardless of party, are anxious to induce Uncle Sam to put his legs under the round table of the league, and help carry the burdens and responsibilities of Europe's war, and the expenses of the league, with its costly machinery. Lloyd George failed to bring Uncle Sam across. Bonar Law thinks he would achieve a great triumph and win the everlasting gratitude of the British people if he could induce Uncle Sam to change his mind. Politics, the responsibility of government, including the solution of the big problems Lloyd George could not or did not solve, is back of Premier Law's touching appeal. Lloyd George calls upon the spirits of John Wesley and George Whitfield to 'take America by the hand and lead her into the golden portals.' Wesley and Whitfield both were Englishmen; and rendered the American colonies great service in the realm of religion and spiritual thought; but to neither does the United States owe any portion of its independence, political or industrial. The seeds sown by the colonial divines were essentially, if not wholly, spiritual, and in most cases royal. Most of the sermons of that time were against all thought of independence. There is no logical connection between Wesley and Whitfield, and Uncle Sam's entrance into the league of nations. Lloyd George indulged in a bit of political legerdemain or spiritual seance when he invoked the aid of printed, published, or circulated in salo city, and thirty days from and after its final passage, it shall take effect and be in full force.
