AMERICA'S FOREIGN TRADE During the time the United States was engaged in tee war against Germany many mercantile vessels were eonetrueted at large expense, and the prediction was Tcade that these vessels would tie the agency through watch this country would build up a great trade with encign countries. The expectation was not rea fired. Congress has revived the War Finance Corporation, which Is expected to function in the creation ot credits and ether aids whereby the countries of Euiope may be enabled to buy American merchandise cu time; but If that is the only thing the corporation is able to accomplish, there is reason to believe that other disappolnments are in store. Announcement has been made that a w ell-fiuanced tcrporation, authorized under the Edge law, would demote itself to establishing a line of credits In Europe md other countries, and it is now said that this corporation will soon bo ready to function. It is hoped That these agencies will do all and more than is expected of them in the promotion of foreign trade. But "t is doubtful if their efforts will be very successful as "ong as the rate of exchange between this country and Kurope remains so greatly to the disadvantage of Europe. Merely to dump American goods Into Europe under the proposed plan of liberal aud extended credits -vill prove only a temporary expedient. Europe may not be any better off when pay-day comes than she is today, and It ia never easy to pay for something that lias been consumed. Europe must be encouraged to produce what she needs, thereby doing much to restore currency to its normal place In the family of nations.
FRANCE DEFIES BOLSHEVISTS Premier Briand of France, in his first adress to the senate and chamber of deputies, makes it plain that France will consider herself under obligation to resist any attempts of the soviet government cf Russia ;o invade the territory of any ally of France in the world war. Ut'iKjrts are thick regarding the plans of the Russian hol.-hevists to attack Rumania and Poland in the spring, and it is significant that the French premier nliculd take tognizanee of these reports by warning the joviet leaders of Russia that invasion of thete countries will be regarded as an atack on France. The timely aid of France to Poland last summer turned the tide of the war between the Russians and Poland. France has large quail titles of arms and nmmuuitkm. left ever from the world war, aud these supplies could probably be placed In the hands of the Rumanians, Poleb and other peoples of eastern Europe aud the .lallums who might be willing to Joiu in holding back the Russian reds. Great Uritain is pretty well occupied with affairs at home aud the problem of dealing v. ith India, aud it is not unlikely that Germany would be willing to take the risk of herself being bolshevized if Poland and Rumania could be punished by the Russians. France appears to bo the ouly nut ion In western Europe that dares take a vigorous stand agninst the reds.
TOO MANY BOOKS "Of making bocks there is no end," said Solomon; "and much study is a weariness of the flesh."' What would he say if he were living today, when books are being written in such vast numbers that the American Publishers Association is disturbed and says it is going to try to persuade authors to cut down their output? The publishers are disturbed because they cannot sell all their books that they publish. But the reading pabiio also has ground for 'complaint. Amid the enormous outpouring of new publications the reader1 H bewildered. Some have merit; others are trash; but all are praised by the publishers. The reader, unable to distinguish between the good and tho bad. as likely as not chooses one of the latter. Whereupon, in disgust, he says, with Lowell. "What a Eense of security in an old book which time has criticised for us!" and goes to the library and picks out an old volume when next he feels in the mood to read a book. This is no doubt the explanation for the discovery reported by a publisher that whereas the average American family buys 600 daily newspapers in a year it buys only two books. It is regretted by the publishers that the newspapers do not give more attention to hook reviews. As much notice should be taken of a new book, it is said, as ot a new play. But the output of new books is so tremendous that if an. attempt were made to review them all there would not be much space left for mere Important news. The remedy for the situation lies with the publishers. Let them use greater discrimination in the selection of books for publication; let them refuse to publish trash; and tbe public will soon learn that when
VALUE OF LIFE INSURANCE One day of thrift week, which was ob.rved throughout the United States, was devoted to creation of greater interest in life insurance. It is probable that there are still a few persons who regard life insurance as "flying into the face of Providence," as some opponents of Insurance protection have designated it. but insurance is now recognized aa of such business alue that persons of Intedligence no longer make any pretense of opposition. The business of promotiug Interest in insurance in its approved forme should not be left to those who are directly engaged in the selling of policies. It should be the desire of every person that his neighbor be amply protected from any loss that la avoidable, either through his death or because of accident or cf sickness. Insurance constitutes a great mutual organization in which its members undertake to protect each other against certain kinds of losses. Xo perscn considers himrelf a good business man if he neglects to protect his buildings or other property from complete loss by fire. Less of the earning power of the individual because cf death or incapacity should be guarded against as well.
PROPHEUS AND POWER Anyone who hasn't been strictly excluded from feminine companionship comes to the conclusion sooner or later that woman is the same the world over, and that she hasn't changed a great deal from the time of Eve to the passing of the eighteenth amendment. Man hasn't changed much either, He's, still fool enough, as a rule, to think he knows something about the other sex. and he still struts around and tells himself that he is the boss. John Knox., that staid and reverend Presbyterian of a by-gone age, was such a man. His "Blasts of the Tfumphet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women" was directed at Mary, Queen of Scots, and other beautiful women of the day. Mr. Knox was peeved because they were so dog-gone easy to look at, or at least that is about what a modern peruser of his "Blasts" w 111 gather. The same sort cf ire rouses Overseer Voliva of Zion, III., the successor of Dowle, the prophet. Women who go to the Zion tabernacle and powdpr their noses are sacriligious, Voliva says. He has just issued a warning that he'll lecture any powdered ladies in the congregation and that he'll slap 'em, too. Xow. Mr. Voliva, be reasonable. We say it for your own protection. You may get away with the lecture, but Mr. Voliva, a slapped woman, powder or no powder, is something to look out for.

Herewith. ladies and aentlenien, figures' showing; ujs the rapid growth ot Uncle Sam's latest industrial baby the Calumet Region. He undoubtedly is a thriving youns.-iter. Always hungry, always "asking for More" like Oliver Twist, lie is rapidiy gaining a fcreat reputation throughout the world for an appetite that apparently has no limits. And what does he eat? He eats steel plants and rolling mills. In fact, any manufactory from a piano to a railroad engine plant if meat f"r his nuri'pry table. There was a el ay when he was grateful for the er.imbs that foil from h:. older brother, Chicago's table, but now he m getting big enough to look after himself. F"or example, the ejtiier day sonic big men in the packing trnde thoroughly examined the youngster, and decided that he was ripe for a variation In his diet. They proposed to establish a large packing industry in rtary. Evidently they had concluded that Brother Chicago had eaten sn much of the packing Industry that i.e had -very little room for more. From the looks ef our baby they s emtd prettv confident that lie wan fully capable of looking after all they couid provide for some; years to come. We realize that the fcaby was 1 ;i ley during the war years and that his abnormal growth is to a certain extent due to the excellent Industrial conditions T-r-evaMinar. Our baby knows if
too. He is well aware that millions of dollars were invested In his welfare, tint tin-se. millions of dollars represented by large installations of modern manufacturing machinery exist today and he fee-Is that if he, with youth, energy and enthusiasm on his Side, cannot keep them running, then It certainly looks bad for his older and less favored prosperity consuming rnals. l"er the moment he is slackening;. Ho has unloosened hit? belt and childlike, he gioatj over the empty dishes relics of the good things served to htm during the war period. If is only a momentary slackening though, and as toon as he has gotten used to the new conditions ho will start in as hungry as erer. We belie c in the ability o our own, baby ojr Calumet Region youngster; in fact, we are proud to tell the world that he is .SOIK KID.
