It means several things. Th2 import of silver is due to our extremely un- fortunate silver policy and some at least of the gold importation is to be explained by our even more unfortu- nate mistake in devaluing the gold dollar. These should be offset by a prompt change of the silver policy and by a clear-cut announcement that we shall not further devalue the gold dollar. More important, however, is the changed business relationship of the United States to the rest of the world. For many years we were debtors to other countries and an excess of ex- ports was the evidence. We were merely sending out our merchandise to pay what we owed. Now we are creditors and other people are send- } ing the payment. Imports are gain- ing in relative importance. In addf- tion, the uncertain political situation | abroad at times causes Americans to withdraw funds from Europe and many Europeans to send funds here. On the whole we may expect to see the import movement continue. Do we like it? Some do and some do not. therefore pleased with the report recently issued by our Department of i Commerce for the first three months of 1936. Both our ex- ports and our imports are gaining. The growth in do- mestic trade is quite naturally accompanied by a growth in for- eign trade. Domestic and foreign trade are closely re- lated. Both re- flect the grad- ual but clear improvement in business. There are ‘no spectacular changes but week by j week, month by month and in the j face of many obstacles and discour- | agements, the growth continues.

American owners of foreign bonds, it they are far-sighted, wel- come the growth in imports because they realize that through the imports they will be paid what is due them. American exporters are more and more conscious that an increase in im- ports is an evidence of a greater abil- ity of foreigners to buy our goods, { Imports are the means by which ex- ports are paid for. How about the rest of us who are neither exporters nor investors in foreign bonds and who do not directly suffer from the competition of im- ported goods? Perhaps we are indif- ferent or perplexed. But there is one point on which we can be entirely clear. All of us have much to gain | from an increase in trade both domes- tic and foreign. More trade means more prosperity, more employment and larger incomes for all of us. From this greater prosperity there will be a great stimulus to domestic business even for those who seem to lose from the growth in competing imports. We should all be glad that business is ga‘ning. A general improvement helps ail. (Address auestions to the anthar care of this newssaser) SUNDAY DINNER By ANN PAGE EEF, butter and broilers are three foods worthy of attention this .
