U. S. Now World’s Biggest Exporter of Domestic Products By O, I, Awstim « Statistician THE NATIONAL CiiY BANK OF NEV/ YORK * (From the WEEKLY TRADE RECORD lsswed by The Natiowai City Band) The big gains in the exports of the United States in the month of Qctober, just nounced, are ex- tremely interesting in their sug- gestions as to the future of owm export trade and its present rela- tion to that ot other great export- mg countries, ‘T'he tutal exports ot October, 1922, exceed those of any month m the past onc and | one-half years., They total $37¢,- 000,000, and are not only the big- gest of any one of the past 18 months but are nearly 20% above those of the immediately preceding month, 33% greater than in the opening month of the calendar year, 5% more than in the cor- responding month of the preceding &i,”' and actually cxceerr by $24,- 000 the total of the correspond- ing month of last year. In fact, the gains in our exports in recent months placed the United States | clearly at the head of the world's ! list of exporters of domestic prod- ' ucts, This big increase in our cxport vfigurc‘for.Ocmbcr is especially in- (teresting in view of the fact that the chief gains in recent months MG AANDITS 2 PROGRESS IN ORIENT desse C. Clark Encourages Boys {0 Help Build Up World orals Jesse C. Clark, foreign boys' war #ecretary of Shanghai, China, ad- dressed the “Fifty Thousand Dollar Club” campaign workers Saturday in the lobby of the Boys' department of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion. “T am glad to be back in the United States of Amerfca” he said. “Tt is great to he on American soil again and to feel the spifit of the American people. The world expects much of us and we must not disap- voint it. T wish every American boy could travel abroad and get first hand information about other people—how they live, what they think about us and what their hopes for the future are. “Let me suggest some things that most boys in our country do not realize: Few boys understand that ilization of the west is re- J B for some, of the very bhad Ora.aons of the Orient. If English boys, three generations ago, had been trained right, China would never had the ‘shame and curse of opium’ thrust upor her. If German hoys had been tought ‘brotherhood’ instead of the ‘Super-man’ doctrine there would have been no world war. If Japanese boys of the last gederation had had justice Planted in their lives there would vever have been any ‘twenty-one de- mands on China.' It is because the boys of the United States were taught to hate intemperance that we have ‘whiskey-on-the-run' now in America. American standards in the next gen- eration will be determined by the fdeals of the boys today. The same is true of China and other nations, The hoys of today will soon come into control of our country and be re- sponsible for the improving or contin- uing of the present situation at home and abroad. The Y. M. C. A. in China “A few hours’ work per week by one Chinese secretary for two years has transformed one hundred boys in £ safe factory from slaves into co- ©perators in the enterprise of building good safes and safe citizens for China. They have learned to read and to think new thoughts and are coming up ‘towards the American standard. One secretary and forty young men in Bhanghai with the spirit of service have opened the eyes of over 200 SPECIALS F b TUUR BEAUY have ocenrred in manufactures in which our manufacturers and ex: porters are fighting to retain the share which tney gamned i worl markets during the war, ‘Lhe Sep tember figures of exports, thy latest for which details are avail- able, showed big mcreases in the exports of manufactures, which totaled $14,00,0 in that month, agamst $11YUU00 in the same month ot the preceding year, and turmed 40% of the domestic ex- ports of September, 1922, against #7% in the same month ot last year, and 43% in the corréspond- mg month preceding the war, Still another evidence of the Kains which we are making in our export trade is found in a com- parison of our October exports with those of other countries. Great Britain, which is now our chief rival in world markets for manufactures, shows an actual de- cline of about $10,000000 in her Oc- tober exports of domestic prod- ucts when compared with the im- mediately preceding month, while our own figures of October show a gain of $59,000,000 over the im. mediately preceding month, Brit. ish domestic exports tor October totaled $294,000000 agamst about $3600,000,000 of domestic exports trom the United States in the same month, British domestic ex- ports in October, 1922, tall aboyt UV below thuse of the same month of 1921, while our own do- mestic exports are about $lo,0 ) ibove those of the same month of \ast year. For the 10 months end- g with October, 1922, British do- 1iestic exports totaled $2,890,000,- 00, while our own domestic ex- ports m the same period totaled aperoximzlely $4,050,000,000, ‘Yhe United States now stands cleirly ar the head of the list ot woi'd’s exporters “of domestic pro wcts while prior to the war we acld second rank, the British expcrts of domestic products in 1913 having exceeded ours by more than $100,000,000, while our own dom: stic exports in the 10 months of 122 excecded those of Great Brita'n by about $150,000000 and are 1ar in excess of those of any other :ountry. Chinese boys who werk blind to the literature of the world. In Shanghai, 1,400 boy are in Y. M, C. A. free schools. They are learning to read and write, but that is not all They are seeing new things, learning new values, having facts interpreted and catching the Christian spirit of service, brotherhood and .worship. They are in this service for justice and for Christian living. ! “In Nanking the ‘Y’ held a decision meeting; 34 boys wanted to join the church, The 34 boys and the Chin- ege pastors were invited to a feast. After the feast those who wanted to join the Presbyterian church went with the Presbyterian pastors to talk it over and the Methodist pastors took the would-be Methodists. Over 90 per cent are now church members and the rest are coming on. That is help- ing lay the foundation for the Chinese church and for a stable government in China. : “In Kiran, Manchuria, and in An- tung on the Korean border there are clubs of high school boys organized by the association of those cities to help clean up the schools, inoculate China, help them to understand Jesus Christ and to become His disciples. The same jdea has taken root and is pro- ducing splendid results in Chengtu in the far weet near Tibet, a month’s travel from Shanghai. There they have more than 1,200 boys in Asso- ciation clubs and classes ‘ith a char- acter-building program. Canton in the sou has one of the up-ilo-date Y. M. C. A’'s of the world. Their boys' work is mostly outside of their building in the residence districts. But it is on the group =5 and is winning boys for the chureh and for Christian lving. In more tlan two dozen of the strategic cities oi China the association has establishell boys’ work and trained employed awvd vol- unteer Chinese leaders to carty it on and push it into new fields. There are now more than 50 Chinese Boys' secretaries with six American coaches, and the number is growing rapidly. This work s helping very materially to strengthen the Chinese nation. Make World Safe for Boys and Girls “To make the world safe for hoys and girls is a great part of the task of the church as it reaches out into the unsafe places of the earth. Do you know of a safe place to raise boys and girls where God is unkfnown? 1 do not, “The other day in Portland a man refused to help in the “Y" foreign work because he said: ‘To raise the Orientals up to our standard will be a menace to our civilization and will produce war for our children, if né for us’ Is it true? T asgked him: | with your gifts, not only will the fu- equal economic standards and a high respect for human life and responsi- bility have anything to do with the way we get on with our neighbor? It troyble with others caused by the thifigs on which we agree or the things on which we disagree? What is the basis of individual friendship? Of international peace? I do not be- lieve it is going to be possible in our complex world te have a permanent peace with great nations it we ser- lously disagree on vital questions. But I do believe that it is perfectly pos- sible to live at peace with all nations for all time if we do agree on the great fupdamental questions of life, Missionary vs. Diplomat “The missionary is the great ‘peace- maker' and ‘friendship-builder’ of the world. The tricky diplomat, the un- scrupulous trader and the militarist are the ‘war-makers.,’ They must be controlled ‘to make civilization safe for people.’ Dr. David Yui, our na- tional 'Y’ secretary for China says, since returning from the Washington conference where he was the peoples’ representative, that he does not ex- pect much help for China in the solu- the boys with a spirit of service and ption of her problems from diplomatic sources. Real help must come from |B the changing of individual character, and that is the work of the churches, Christian schools and the Young Men's Christian Association. To change these currents of human Iife and that is as difficuit as it is to change ocean cur- rents. Only God himself can do it, but He permits us to help and even waits till we volunteer before He works these mighty changes. “If we can get this idea over to you American boys that you are and will be personally responsible for condi- tions in the future so that you really belikve it, and get you started to sup- port it, and with your prayers and ture of our foreign Y.#M. C. A. work be safe but our future relations with the Orient will be safe and friendly, and the peace of the Pacific will be assured for generations.” Object of $50,000 Club Anthony A. Dorbuck, Boys' work secretary, explained the purpose of the Fifty Thousand Dollar club. He said: “The Fifty Thousand Dollar club is composed of 50,000 boys of North Jmerica. The forelgn division of the Young Men's Christian Association of North America now has 20 secretaries in 20 countries, giving speclal atten. tion to work with boys. The funds for the continued support of these 20 secretaries have not yet been fully provided. This raises a big question. As work with boys under Christian | auspices increases in the North Am-. erican continent, shall the boys' work secretaries be called home because of ‘Who is our best neighbor, Canada or Mexico? FEngland or Japan? Why? Do common ideals, the same religion, OR TUESDAY THE MOHICAN MARK FUL NEW MARKLET lack of funds? This is the question that is now put up to you boys.

You boys are requested to autograph this map. It will be sent to a representative {n China and pre- sented to the boys of that eountry." At the close ot the meeting Mr, Clark explained that all the gmoney subacribed would go to pay the salary and expenses of boy work secretaries in China, The captains will report every day the resuits of the campaign. A large sign has been placed in the lobby of the boys department with the names of all captaine and workers and will be watched closely by the members as the campaign progresses.

CAUSE OF GRAVITY ATLASTIS FOUND Nary Scientist Comnect It Wih Magnetism and Ether Waves San Francisco, Nov. 27.—Claim to discovery of the cause of gravitation ~something that' Sir Isaac Newton, discoverer of the law of gravitation could not find—was made by an Am- erican naval officer, Captain T. J. J Bee, government astronoMer at the Mare Island navy yard, near here, in o lecture before the California aca- demy of sciences, Discovery by Captain See of the cause of magnetism, which also was claimed in the lecture, led to the find- ing of a definite connection between magnetism and gravity, he eaid, both due to invisible ethur waves traveling across the heavenly spaces with the speed of light. Captain 8ee has been doing research work in magnetism and gravity 40 years. Power of Magnetism, The astronomer said his theory is distinct development. on Newton's law of gravitation, Magnetism, he ex. plained, is a milllon times more pow- erful than the corresponding force of gravitation, Captain See demonstrated during his address that a e&mall magnet, when suspended by a thread near a lurger one, is pulled bodily toward the near- est pole of the larger magnet, Yet, he showed that, while the nearer pole has the greater power, the remoter pole of the large magnet actually pulls back'on the opposite end of a mag- netie needle suspended by a thread abont its center, Two Conclusions, By an extension of the theory of the earth’s magnetism by Gauss, cele. brated German mathematician in 10388, Captain See draws two conclu- sions 1-—That magnetism is due to waves, the rotatory motion of the ether par. ticles being about the lines of forze which is also confirmed by Faraday's experiment. of the magnetic rotation of a beam of polarized light 1845, 2—As magnetism is connecte1 with gravitation by See's mathematical law of 1022, it follows that gravitation also s due to waves like those of magnetism STAMFORD CLERGYMAN RESIGNS Stamford, Nov. 27.-—~The Rev.
