Between the two houses there was a difference of opinion as to whether the president should name the treasury of- ficial who will have charge.of the budget, whether he should be subject to removal is f be in the treasury department. The control rests with the president rather than congress and witl « such agreed upon there should be early action that will complete the lawmaking and hasten the time when the budget bureau can get down to business, The placing of the government upop a business basis through the introduction of budget system has been sought for years.

Indeed, it is certain that if some differences had not arisen between General Clinton and Admiral Arbuthnot, the French might have found themselves in_a dangerous position at the beginning. From the earliest letters exchanged upon this occasion some discord resulted between Lafavette, Rochambean and ‘Washington, but, owing to the good sense | of - Rochaimbea, . maiters were soon| smoothed over. He wrote in English to| the American general to ask him there-| after to address himself directly to him, and to explain the reasons -that induced him to postpone assuming the offensive. From that moment the relations be- tween the two leaders was excellent. The mere presence of the French squadron and army, though they were still paralyzed, and really blockaded by the English fleet, | had effected a useful diversion since the English had not been able to profit by all the advantages resulting from the capture of Charleston, and, instead of carrying on operations in the Carolinas with s perior forces, they had to bring the great- er part of them back to New York, the result of the arrival of Rochambeau and his French army. {Tomorrow: Indians in the Civil War.)

While no official trade fig- ures of the Soviet government are a- vailable, it is possible, says a state- ment by the bank, to at least get a glimpse as to what has been happen- ing in this line down to the end of 1920. Official trade figures of a few of the principal commercial nations show their respective records of trade with Ru down to the very late date. Curiously their total is not so much below that of the year preced- ing the war as might be expected and shows an aggregate of their trade with Russia in 1920 only about 25 per cent below that of 1913. Trade of the United States with Russia in 1920, according to our own official figures, agsregated in 1920 approximately $0,000,000 to $50,000,000 in 1913; that of Great Brit- ain with Russia $247,000,000 in 1920 as compared with $330,000,000 in 1913; Ja- pan nearly $10,000,000 in 1920 to $24,- 000,000 in 1913, and Switzerland in in the latest vear available, $24,000, 000 against $25,000,000 in 1913. The aggregate of these four countries com- pared with $410,000,000 in 1913, though the fact that prices of many articles are still materially higher than in 19- 19 suggests that the relation of the 1920 trade to that of the pre-war year is not as great when measured in quan- tity as indicated by the mere figures of_value. Exports form the principal factor in our own trade with Russia, and es- pecially European Russia, in 1920, the total of exports to Russia in Europe in the calendar year 1920 having been according -to the official reports of the Department of Commerce, $15,447,- 000 as against $25,965,000 in 1913, while to Asiatic Russia the exports of 1920 were $13,281,000 against elightly less than $1,000,000 in 1913, making the total exports to Russia, European and Asiatic, $28,500,000 against $27,000,000 in the year before the war. On the import side, the 1820 figures contrast much more strongly with these of the pre-war period, the total imports from European Russia $10,655,000 to “Gets-It” Tickles Corns To Death Don't try to fox trot on corn tortured iet rid of your corns.
