The letter states that the pilot will carry a message for President Harding and would want to land on some of the park area near the White House.

S. FOREIGN TRADE TOTAL Department of Commerce Finds Depression Largely Due to Decline in Prices. | In common with the general busi- ness depression which has been felt the world over since the war, Ameri- ca’s foreign trade suffered during the fiscal year which ended June 30, ac- . Marked Increase in employment declared that with the end of- the gold import stage of the war read- {justment approaching and considering the invisible exchange situation, con- tinued trend in the general direction now evident soon would produce gold exports even in the face of payments on account of allied debts. Shifts in Trade Noted. Several important shifts in the country’s foreign trade, due to the war, were observed by the depart- ment. Exports of foodstuffs have in- creased immensely, the department declared, due partially to the demor- | alization of Russia. Agricultural ex- | ports for 1922, amounting to $938.- 000,000, were actually larger in quan- tity during the year of depression, despite that they decreased in value by about £700,000;000.
