What were America’s exports in 1914? Oh, so-and-so. What were they last year? The increase was tremendous—ih cents, But prices were tremendously higher, too. How about the volume of goods? Well, there are statistics. Flatten these statis- tics out to an average—what then? An expert may have some remote inkling as to what the difference was, but even he doesn’t know the real answer. He only guesses. And imports? Costs of production have increased in one country at one ratio and in another country ut another ratio. That, also, is a mystery. Finan- cial sharks attempt to dope it out, but who can reckon distances in infinity! The Democratic national committee has been try- ing to compare government expenses, as between; 1916, under President Wilson, and the fiscal year of 1927, under President Coolidge.
