AMERIGAN TMPORTS - EXCEED EXPORTS More Than Five Million Over- balanced ‘Washington, Aug. 15 (A—A bal- ance sheet of America's foreign business for 1926, issued today by the commerce department, indicated that the nation took from abroad values greater by $509,000,000 than these exported. Not only was the ‘“visible” trade of the country taken Into considera- tion in compiling the statistics, but also sums involved in ‘“invisible” trade arising from such sources as expenditures of American tourists abroad, prices paid for smuggled liquor, and freight and insurance payments collected by foreign ves- sels in American ports. Summing up the figures, the con- clusion was reached that the United States exported ‘“visibly” and “in- visibly” in 1926 values to a total of $8,033,000,000, while imports, in the same fashion, were valued at $8,- 542,000,000. The net result of all transactions was to leave foreign balances in American banks in- —~creased by $359,000,000, notwith- standing, as Secretary Hoover ex- plained in a foreword, that during the year the world abroad increased materially its debt to the United States. “The year 1926 seems to have set new high records in all three of our largest invisible items of trade,” he said, “in private investments abroad, tourists expenditures, and the vield of our foreign investments. During the year nearly 370,000 Americans made journeys in non- contiguous lands, and American tourist expeditions in Canada also broke all records. The nation seems to have done mare traveling and lending than ever before. “On December 31, 1926, foreign- ers had on deposit in American banks about $1,443,000,000, ample proof that we. are now a great short time debtor nation along with our position as a great creditor in long- time investments. Moreover, for- eigners had on deposit with Amer- ican agents and trustees American stocks and bonds amounting to about $1,875,000,000. Our net growth as a creditor nation for the year was only $557,000,000. sum, it may be noted, would be much smaller if one should consider the increase in deposits of foreign- ers in American banks as a d duction.” The 1926 Merchandise Exchange, gave the United States a favorable balance of $337.000,000, it was re- ported, the year's exports having been $4,508,000,000 and imports $4,- 431,000,000. Offsetting this, the statement gave the world a $40,000,- 000 credit as having “invisibly” ex- ported to the United States that much in bootleg liquors. This figure is the same as that found in pre- vious years, and was based upon confidential reports customs services guard. The account reckoned 1926 tour- ist expenditures abroad at $761,- 00,000 ,while it said that foreign- ers traveling here spent but $1 000,000, so that the United States incurred a net debt of $646,000,000. On this item private foreign invest- ments of American citizens, earned interest and dividends during 1926 totalling $678,000,000 which repre- sented a natlonal credit, the report * said, while the war debts of the . government ltselt earned $195,000,- 000 in interest and principal pay- ments for the same period. Another item going into calcula- tion was $322,000,000, immigrants residing here to their home countries, which sum was treated as a charge against the United States in international ac- counting. Foreign vessels earned $175,000,000 in carrying America freight. New American investments abroad for the year were calculated at $1,- 332,000,000 while in the ebb and flow of exchanges fluctuations, it was figured that American securlties had been sold abroad with a total value of $636,000,000, and American stocks and bonds had been bought back from abroad to a total of $500,000,000. Touching the compli- cated movement of capital, as rep- resented by the stock and bond transactions, coupled with debt maturities and redemptions, the statement concluded that the na- tion had imported total values of TWO HOMES MADE HAPPY ByWomenWhoUsedLydia E.

Storms of 29 Lane Street, Paterson, N. J, writes: “I can not speak too highly of your medicine and I recommend it to all my friends.” These statements were taken from two enthusiastic letters which tell of the help that has been received from using the Vegetable Compound. Both Mrs. Shoup and Mrs. Storms were in a run-down condition which caused them much unhappiness.

NEW EMPIRE DREAM GOAL OF UPRISING Incas Indians Have Vision of 0ld Supremacy La Paz, Bolivia, Aug. 15 B — Dreams of a new Inca cmpire, re- ported to be the goa! of the Indian uprising in various partz of Bolivia, appeared to be faling today, as troops equipped with the white man’s war devices were bearing down upon the rebellious hordes. A whole division of soldiers has been brought into action, and the | government claims to have succeed- |ed in pacifying certain sections. | When the remainder of the troops detailed to the cumpaign reach their destinations, the government contends the situation should be brought under control quickly. In the failure of the Indians in the department of La Paz to join the movement, the Inces have lost their principal hope for success, and |if there is truth in the government’s |claim that the danger of a rising |in La Paz is over, then it probably is merely a question of time until the disillusioned natives in the more remote regions will be obliged to resume their menial labors as vir- tual slaves to the white inhabitants. Clubs ‘and slingshots are proving inadequate arms for the restoration of Inca power® Pitted against the rifles, bayonets and machine guns, the Indians now arz making a piti- {ful defense. Although no further | reports of deaths among the Wi I riors have been given out he it generally conceded that to put a |quick halt to the movement, the | troops must necessarily infiict heavy losses. These tactiqy usually have | been followed in dealing with such uprisings in the past, when the of- fect of a few sanguinary cpisodes were sufficient to scare the Indian | population into resuming their meelk {attitude, :Junkers Metal Planes Have Special Merits New York, Aug. 15 (A—Chiefly to prove his claim that “anything could be made out of meta Professor Hugo Junkers, German scientist and ! designer of the monoplane Bremen combined his knowledge of meta |lurgy with aeronautics to perfect an |all-metal, heavier-than-air flying machine. | Professor Junkers had already es- tablished himself as one of Europe's leading metallurgists prior to the World war.

Not- withstanding the accepted belief that this class of traveler is much abused in traffic few complaints reach the state motor vehicle de- partment of such abuse from the pedestrians themselves. Since the first of the year 473 complaints have been made of vio- lations of the rules of the road or other law infractions by motorists, but the majority came from other |car operators. Such complaints are |independent of cases of violations investigated under regular police routine. Thirty were against drivers from other states. The most frequent offense listed among the complaints is reckless driving, 106 drivers having been at fault, according to the statement of others. A particularly good indica- tion that motorists observe the ac- tions of drivers in their vicinity is that the names of 68 operators {were presented to the department |as delinquent in observing traffic provided the second largest list of names in the complaints. Only six complaints were made drivers operating while into: cated. Tifty-two objections we |made because of cars cutting {during heavy traffic. Speed at rdil- road crossings resulted in 29 com- plaints, evading responsibility brought 31 and failure to grant {right of way 25. Other causes of complaints the number for each type of |fense were: ! 15; passng on curve, ng track ahead of train, 12; speed- ing, 13; passing on wrong side, 9; ilure to signal, 3; careless back- ing, 2; improper parking, 5; operat- |ing? without a license, 9.
