THE COMING CONFLICT IN FOREIGN TRADE The gratifying increase in our export trade in 1924 over 1923, which showed a gain of some $430,000,000, or over 10 per cent and the continued satisfactory gain in the opening months of 1925, have been offset to a certain extent by increasing doubts as to the dangers of competition from our European rivals in the leading overseas markets. There can be no question that the outstanding feature of the present international trade situation is this problem of the coming conflict among the great export nations. It is well at the outset to recognize frankly the intensity of this rivalry and the probable dangers which it involves to certain of our leading lines and trade positions. There has, however, been so much misinformation circulated on the subject bordering in some cases on near panic and hysteria, inspired in our midst in a few outstanding instances by our competitors themselves, that it is high time for a calm, dispassionate view of the actual facts as to where we stand competitively. There are two preliminary observations which might be borne in mind, possibly by way of consolation for those who are inclined to be more panic stricken. First of all a casual summary of recent German and British trade papers and trade association reports reveals any number of indications of a precisely comparable fear on the part of our European rivals as to their prospects in the face of increasing American competitive effort. There is on every hand an evident searching for some plausible explanation of the persistence of American foreign trade success, in spite of the six years in which Europe has had the opportunity to regain its overseas industrial ingenuity which have been the peculiar forte of American manufacturers—moderately priced automobiles, motion picture films, labor saving machinery, ready made clothing, electrical specialities, office equipment, etc. If we examine the actual figures of the relative status of the three leading trade rivals in representative competitive markets, the situation is far from discouraging for our exporters. Taking the three most important South American countries, we note that in 1913 the United Kingdom easily led with a contribution of 29.7 per cent of their imports. Germany came second with 19.7 per cent, and the United States was third with 13.5 per cent, although gaining rapidly on each of the others. By 1923, however, the situation was entirely changed, the United States and the United Kingdom being practically even with 24 per cent each, with perhaps a slight advantage in favor of the latter because of the heavy British interests in the Argentine; Germany had fallen far behind, with about 13 per cent as her share. In other words, so far as the leading South American markets were concerned, the United States had nearly doubled her relative strength. In the three leading Far Eastern markets a similar transformation had taken place. In Japan our share of the imports rose from 16 per cent in 1913 to 26 per cent in 1924; whereas those from Great Britain fell from 16 per cent to 12 per cent, and Germany's declined from 9 per cent to 6 per cent. In China the American gain was even more impressive during the same period, rising from 6 per cent to 16 per cent, whereas Britain's share fell from 16 per cent to 13 per cent and Germany's from 5 per cent to 3 per cent. Even in India a supposed 000, whereas the British combined total was slightly under 17,000,000. In spite of the fact that politan press now reaches every town and village, the local newspaper States is each year getting foundation and becoming more useful to its home. It may be said that metropolitan newspapers This is true, but it is that the day of the last here too. The metropolitan city world-wide news, its and its magazine supply of course essential to civilization, cannot take the home newspaper, that the big city daily broad field forbids its in any sense, and it is field where the home newspaper and where it usefulness. For, after all, it is which is most important us. We have the greatest community in which in the people who are and friends. And it is paper which records of the folks at home fosters the civic pride spirit of the community. It is the home new boosts the town, year lwhich refuses to advert merchants in competitor local business men and summary of recent German and British trade papers and trade association reports reveals any number of indications of a precisely comparable fear on the part of our European rivals as to their prospects in the face of increasing American competitive effort. There is on every hand an evident searching for some plausible explanation of the persistence of American foreign trade success, in spite of the six years in which Europe has had the opportunity to regain its overseas markets. Secondly, it is well to remember that this is by no means the first instance of vigorous competition overseas; the period immediately before the war was marked by an equally intense export effort, and the outstanding conclusion to be derived from, especially during the years 1910-13, should unmistakably be encouraging to the American foreign trade community. We were not only holding our own, but in such highly competitive areas as the ABC countries of South America were rapidly overtaking our two rivals. The fundamental question which lies at the bottom of any accurate appraisal of the present competitive situation is not so much the problem of the relative strength of the leading participants in the contest, as it is the probable expansion of the purchasing power of the more highly competitive markets. If we examine carefully the more alarming prophesies as to the dangers to our export trade from intensified European competition, we find that they proceed in almost every case from the assumption that the trade of the competitive areas has already reached a point of nearly complete saturation and that the issue is simply one of the relative strength of the three leading contestants as to which will gain a predominant position. This totally erroneous deduction presumes a rigidity of the standards of living in these economically "new" lands overseas, which is so profoundly at variance with the actual conditions as to be almost absurd. If any one outstanding economic or social phenomenon has been demonstrated with irrefutable conviction throughout the world since 1918, it has been the truly astounding capacity of the human animal not only for recovery from the profoundest shocks, but for improvement and aspirations toward higher levels of comfort and well-being beyond any expectations of a decade or two ago. In Japan our share of the imports rose from 16 per cent in 1913 to 26 per cent in 1924; whereas those from Great Britain fell from 16 per cent to 12 per cent, and Germany's declined from 9 per cent to 6 per cent. In China the American gain was even more impressive during the same period, rising from 6 per cent to 16 per cent, whereas Britain's share fell from 16 per cent to 13 per cent and Germany's from 5 per cent to 3 per cent. Even in India, a supposedly impregnable stronghold of British trade, though still dominated by her merchants, the American portion of imports though small is growing, having risen from about 2½ per cent to nearly 6 per cent. These specific examples might serve to illustrate the fact that American merchants and manufacturers have by no means been driven from the field. Further fear has often been expressed that the expansion of native manufacturing industries in these countries might thereby curtail the imports of manufactures not only from the United States, but Europe as well. While there can be no doubt that in many instances, as for example, in the textile trade of the Far East, native industries might replace imports, it should be carefully borne in mind that any such industrial development will not only stimulate the importation of machinery and supplies, but will directly improve the purchasing power of the native populations and thereby encourage the importation of a higher class of foreign wares—a development which will carry peculiar significance for the quality manufactures of the United States. A vivid illustration of this point is presented in the fact that although the manufacturing industry of the United States had its decade of greatest growth during 1914-23, nevertheless our imports of finished manufactures rose from an annual average of $389,000,000 in five years 1909-14 to $750,000,000 in 1924. One of the most significant and promising phases of our relationship with these economically "new" countries is the amazing growth of our purchases of raw material from them, which increased from an annual average of $734,000,000 during the five pre-war years to nearly treble that figure, or $1,112,000,000 in 1924. The establishment of such formidable credits in this country by raw material producers in Asia, Latin-American, Africa and Oceania is bound to have a profound effect upon the pros-taken place.

sustainable economic growth through international cooperation. It is also important for promoting international cooperation among different organizations involved with international business so profoundly at variance with the actual conditions as to be almost absurd. If any one outstanding economic or social phenomenon has been demonstrated with irrefutable conviction throughout the world since 1918, it has been the truly astounding capacity of the human animal not only for recovery from the profoundest shocks, but for improvement and aspirations toward higher levels of comfort and well-being beyond any expectations of a decade or two ago. It is well to remind those who fear that the import capacity of these competitive markets is rigid and strictly limited that the total import purchases of Latin-America, Asia, Oceania and Africa were well over $6,000,000,000 last year, which was more than double the average of 1910-13. By way of explanation of this expansion of the purchasing power of these markets, which continues to move ahead at accelerated speed, it is only necessary to cite one such element as the trebling during the past decade of American industrial and commercial investments (exclusive of government bonds) throughout Latin-America, where we now have well over $3,000,000,000 engaged in reproductive enterprises as against a little over $1,000,000,000 in 1913. This represents not simply a replacement of eliminated European investment, but in numerous cases a direct contribution toward the development of hitherto untouched sources of wealth and well-being, which has reacted profoundly upon the standard of living, upon the general social and economic outlook for great masses of population and, consequently, upon their imports. The significant feature from our point of view of this stimulated and greatly expanded purchasing power in the competitive territories is the fact that its requirements are in a large measure for those newer products of promising phases of our relationship with these economically "new" countries is the amazing growth of our purchases of raw material from them, which increased from an annual average of $734,000,000 during the five pre-war years to nearly treble that figure, or $1,112,000,000 in 1924. The establishment of such formidable credits in this country by raw material producers in Asia, Latin-American, Africa and Oceania is bound to have a profound effect upon the prospects of our sales to them. We are now buying about seven times as much silk, vegetable oil, cacao, sugar and many other overseas raw materials. The steadily advancing prosperity and growth of productive capacity within the United States is one of the best indices of our competitive powers in international commerce. We hear much of mass production and of its vast powers in determining competitive ability, but we do not always realize the tremendous advantage which the United States actually has in this particular connection. Our manufactures were valued at about $25,000,000,000 in 1914; their value in the recent census of 1923 was indicated at approximately $60,000,000,000—a most impressive increase even after allowance is made for liberal price changes during the decade. In pig iron, for example, the gross tonnage produced by the United States in 1913 was 30,600,000, which was practically the same as the combined output of the United Kingdom and Germany, namely 29,300,000 tons. By 1924 this predominance had been almost doubled, that is to say, the American output was 31,000,000 tons; whereas the combined British and German output was only 15,600,000 tons. A similar situation prevailed in ingot steel in which the American production in 1913 was some 31,300,- ANAHEIM GAZETTE 000, whereas the British and German combined total was slightly in excess of 26,000,000 tons. By 1924, however, the American production had risen to 37,500,000 tons, whereas the production of our two European rivals was slightly under 17,000,000 tons. THE LOGICAL NEWSPAPER In spite of the fact that the metropolitan press now reaches into nearly every town and village in the country, the local newspaper in the United States is each year getting on a firmer foundation and becoming more and more useful to its home community. It may be said that the day of the metropolitan newspaper is at hand. This is true, but it is equally as true that the day of the local newspaper is here too. The metropolitan daily, with its world-wide news, its comic sheets and its magazine supplements, while of course essential in our modern civilization, cannot take the place of the home newspaper. The very fact that the big city daily must cover a broad field forbids its becoming local in any sense, and it is in the local field where the home newspaper dominates and where it finds its true usefulness. For, after all, it is the home news which is most important to most of us. We have the greatest interest in the community in which we live, and in the people who are our neighbors and friends. And it is the local newspaper which records the happenings of the folks at home and in addition fosters the civic pride and progressive spirit of the community. It is the home newspaper which boosts the town, year in and year out, which refuses to advertise the city merchants in competition with the local business men and which takes NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE WHEREAS, Charles F. W. Reusch, by Deed of Trust, dated May 1st, 1924, recorded June 16th, 1924, in Book 525 of Deeds at page 249 in the Office of the County Recorder of the County of Orange, State of California, did grant and convey the premises therein and hereinafter described to W.

Kidd, as sole Trustee by substitution, which was recorded on October 28th, 1924, in Book 545 of Deeds at page 161, Records of Orange County, California; and WHEREAS, Julietta Kidd, beneficiary under said Deed of Trust, has We have the greatest interest in the community in which we live, and in the people who are our neighbors and friends. And it is the local newspaper which records the happenings of the folks at home and in addition fosters the civic pride and progressive spirit of the community. It is the home newspaper which boosts the town, year in and year out, which refuses to advertise the city merchants in competition with the local business men and which takes the lead in every enterprise which has for its purpose the upbuilding and prosperity of the community. We frequently hear it said that the old-time independent spirit of the newspaper is gone, that its editorial policy is now subservient to the business office. Yet this is not true. There is more unselfish idealism in the average local newspaper than in any other business enterprise. It frequently speaks out in the way which it believes will be for the good of the nation and of the community, regardless of what the consequences may be from a business standpoint. This is more than the average business man will do or can do. Of course the local newspaper is now on a firm business basis. This is why it is improving from year to year, why it is giving its readers a constantly better newspaper, and why it is increasing its influence for good in the community. But the local newspaper is still the principal booster for the community, and it does its boosting often without any hope of material reward. Unfortunate indeed, is the community which neither appreciates nor supports its local newspapers. DAWES TO KEEP BUSY Those persons who think that Vice-President Dawes, in his inaugural address, fired his last gun to have the Senate rules reformed so that a single obstructionist can not hold up legislation demanded by the country, will find that they have guessed badly. Mr. Dawes will carry to the people his campaign for a reform of the Senate rules to prevent abuses. His speeches will surely be of the aggressive kind for which he is noted.
