Says Theodore Price, the printer of busi- news: “Western business men are apparently oblivious of Eu- ' rope. When asked whether he thought that this disre- © gard to conditions overseas were wise or safe, one West- ern banker answered me by referring to the report just published of our foreign trade for October, It showed wts valued at $402,000,000 and imports worth $303,- “Don’t tell me,’ he said, ‘that Europe is bankrupt ’ when she is doing business on that scale.’” A trade of about $700,000,000 in only one month of 1928 and the most of it with Europe! Overtopping the monthly totals before the war and with Russia practically out cf it. Also Japan in that particular month. Seven hundred millions in dollars, remember, not in reciated marks, or rubles, or francs, or pounds ster- Yatch for the figures of our foreign trade for Novem- and you'll probably discover why the American busi- S man and speculator is back on the stock exchange buying securities and making “business” good again on little old Wall Street.

Now he’s invited to be an "honor guest at the banquet to be given by the English Soldiers who fought against him. They vote him a good sport and brave opponent. He reciprocates, While we like to see the ax buried, this incident is not without its regrettable side, for anything that makes war seem a sporting proposition, instead of a social crime, helps keep the war spirit alive. __ Stop the clock! A big Ohio newspaper refers to Hiram Johnson as “the "Most prominent of the Henry Cabot Lodge progressives.” Those presidential bees swarming around congress will make more nolse than honey.
