We period leading up 1929 and all it brought was grief. think of foreign trade at bi be in terms of profit- commercial intercourse, both for individual and for the general @conomic well-being of the country. ‘Too many of us, because we live far inland and have little direct con- ®ection with it, are prone to think of foreign trade as a mysterious thing. It is difficult for us to realise that it is, after all, merely a trade between individuals carried on across the borders of nations in much the Sagieeeee nel FEES can manifecturers cannot compete against Japan on a price basis. A further factor is the restrictions set up by Japan in the vast area, now leomprising much of China, under her “sphere of influence.” Our trade is coming home from the Orient—to stay. Yor the man who puts his faith in foreign trade as a means to Ameri- an prosperity the outlook is not en- couraging. Such things as money Gepreciation and preferential tariffs are merely palliatives. They are not cures. The only thing which could restore much of our old foreign trade would be the destruction of the pro- duction facilities which we helped to establish in countries which formerly what, of course. New things con- stantly are being invented and new discoveries are being made. Other nations will continue to make cer- tain things we want and we will make things they want, but the day of heavy movements of staple goods, produced in large quantities, is past. As soon as a nation begins to be a heavy consumer of an item it also will begin to become a heavy pro- ducer and the export market gradu- ally will disappear. Policies relating to finance, na- tional economic aims and military preparedness will affect the situa- tion to some extent and, on the whole, will operate to hamper rather than promote foreign trade. ze But America need not be discour- aged by this situation. Of all the mations she is best equipped to cope with it. With the exception of coffee, tea, rubber and some tropical fruits, ‘we now produce—or are equipped to produce—all of our necessities and luxuries, If need be, we can make artificial rubber from limestone and Something in the Old Sock Already! | chemicals which, in many respects, is superior to natural rubber.

Then with a sudden jerk he moved, rose to his elbow and grasped Curt’s arm with an unnatural strength, “Curt! Don’t let her go back there! Don’t ever let her try to kill him!
