BRITISH TRADE
SHOWS DEFICIT
FORPASTYEAR
LONDON, March 11 (by Associated
Press).—Great Britain’s adverse trade
balance for the year amounted to
£669,000,000. Against this will apply
Britain’s “invisible exports” which
have been estimated by the Board of
Trade at £400,000,000 for freight
charges £80,000,000 in interest on for
eign investments, and £40,000,000 in
insurance charges, banks charges,
commissions, etc. These would total
£^>20,000,000, leaving an adverse bal
ance of £149,000,000, as compared
with the pre-war favorable balance of
£226,000,000.
A considerable reduction of the ex
cess of imports over exports is ex
pected in 1920 for two reasons in
particular, says the American Cham
ber of Commerce in London. First
the imports in the early months of
1919 are stated to have consisted
largely of balances of deliveries of
war materials which will, of course,
not recur in 1920. Second,* 1919 was
largely a year of re-stocking for Bri
tish manufacturers. In 1920 there
fore the American Chamber says Bri
tain should be able to save accord
ingly on imports of raw materials
while the export of finished goods
should be increased.
Respite the fact that Britain’s 1919
imports were more than twice her
1912 imports in value, the American
Chamber of\Commerce points out that
they were less than four-fifths the
1913 imports in quantity. The aver
age cost of 1913 imports figures out
at about £14 a ton; in 1919 it was
about £41 a ton. Great Britain is
still importing less than her pre-war
quantities.
A review of the monthly totals
shows an almost unbroken rise in the
export of British goods, culminating
in a yearly total of practically £ 793
GOO,000. Of this £632,000,000 or al
most 80 per cent, were manufactured
articles a tribute to the degree to
•which British production is under
way despite the crippling difficulties
of industrial disputes since the armi
■tice.
According to the American Chamber
prospects for British trade for the
coming year, both for export and re
export, are unusually promising.
NOME TIN PRODUCTION
IS LOOKED UPON AS
SALVATION OF CAMP
A recent letter from Nome shows
that the future of that camp is now
counted in terms of tin. A part of
the letter follows: Speaking of tin
prospects “It is their intention,” the
letters says, “to sink a shaft for a
depth of at least 1,000 feet and run
crosscuts, and if the property show's
up all O. K. w'hen they will install
a plant that will cost about ten mil
lion dollars. And they expect to
work about 2,000 men. That is what
the promoter told me, and it is de
voutly to be hoped that they will lo
cate what they are looking for, for
the sake of old Nome.
“There was a large trade estab
lished last summer with Siberia, and
it kept the merchants hustling to
get goods to supply the demands. A
lot of fur also came over.
“Charles Kennedy, Gunnar Kaas
an and E. R. Jordan, United States
marshal, have a lease on the Bear
Cub, the property that Captain Carl
son made his money on. It was'
thought that the property had been
■worked out, but the lessees reached
bedrock yesterday and discovered a
Christmas present in the form of dirt
that pans from $2 to $5. The pay
dirt ranges in depth from six inches
to a foot, just above bedrock.
“Coal is $40 a ton this winter and
oil $16 a drum—too high for mining.
In fact, the cost of provisions and
fuel has practically «put the mining
game on the blink and, as a conse
quence, there is very little work doing
this winter. Things are exceedingly
quiet, -with very little doing in a so
cial or business way. Many of the
business interests have either com
bined or sold out entirely.”
SUGGESTS CHRISTENING
OF VESSELS BE MADE
WITH SURPLUS WINES
PHILADELPHIA, March 11 (by
Associated Press).—Roy L. Daly, who
is in charge of prohibition enforce
ment in this district, has written to
Washington for a ruling on the ques
tion whether champagne shall be
used for christening vessels. He has
suggested that this would be an ad
mirable means of disposing of the
stock of that beverage.

tylexico Has Been a Nuisance Since Jackson’s Time
MEXICO has been a nuisance for a long time, it appears. Senator King oi
Utah read into the Congressional Record the other day extracts from two
annual messages by President Andrew Jackson and a special message. Tht
latter, under date of February 6, 1837,
Is in part:
“The length of time since some MUfRJE A'loJ
of the injuries have been committed, CR.ldijOS''
the repeated and unavailing applica
tions for redress, the wanton character f. *
of some of the outrages upon the prop- V
erty and persons of our citizens, upon
the officers and flag of the United
States, independent of recent insults
to this government and people by the
late extraordinary Mexican minister, ^
would justify in the eyes of all nations
immediate war. . . .
“We should act with both wisdom and moderation by giving to Mexico one
, more opportunity to atone for the past before we take redress into our owr
hands. To avoid all misconception on the part of Mexico, as well as to protect
our own national character from reproach, this opportunity should be given
with the avowed design and full preparation to take immediate satisfaction
4|f it should not be obtained on a repetition of the demand for it.
“To this end I recommend that an act be passed authorizing reprisals and
the use of the naval force of the United States by the executive against
Mexico to enforce them, in the event of a refusal by the Mexican government
tflf^ome to an amicable adjustment of the matters in controversy between us
upon another demand thereof, made from on board one of our vessels of wax
on the coast of Mexico.”
Both the Native-Born and Immigrant Have
Their Duties to America.
By SENATOR W. S. KENYON of Iowa
The alien cannot Americanize himself. He can never become as
similated if he is shunted off into a shanty town. He cannot be American
ized with a club. There is more hope in a handshake than in profit-sharing.
There is a growing need for America to Americanize itself; for each
individual to stop shifting the blame onto others and depending on some
one else to put our house in order. The immigrant has his duty to Amer
ica and he must be made to discharge it. The native-born has his duty
find he fnust search his own heart to see if there are any roots of the trouble
there. If we could only control our greed, our avarice, our quick prejudice
af*d passion and pull together for the general welfare of our country, what
a nation this would be! America means more than stocks and bonds, and
churches and schools and farms and stores. It means a great ideal of
justice for all men. A man who cannot be just whether with his employee
or with his employer is not a true Ameriban.
The ship of state is sailing through pretty troublesome seas, but it is
a mighty sturdy old ship. It will weather the storms. It will pull through
every crisis. It is a time for aroused conscience and determination of all
our people to enthrone justice in their own hearts and then do what they
can to assist others. We are engaged now in much talk of helping the
world. We can help it by giving to the world a high example of justice and
fraternity, and in so doing many of our industrial problems will be solved.
