THE NATION’S HOUR OF SORROW BECAUSE Of the burial Of Presi dent .Harding yesterday at his ,ld home town of Marion, Ohio, the tation paused for- an hour between and 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon, nd bowed Itself in sorrow while the uneral service was in progress. At p. m. and” corresponding hours, ac-, ording to the division of time across lie continent, America uncovered in ilence and between the Atlantic and he Pacific solemn tribute was paid 0 the 29th President of the republic nd national emotion for the moment, ras most profound and reverent. At no place in the United States ras there a more marked and rever ntial' expression of public respect for he memory of the lamented President ban at Wilmington. The solemn ixercise at the Royal theatre beglning it 4 o’clock and closing at 5, was im iressive and it betokened the fact that he American heart here throbbed in lympathy with the popular respect of the memory of the honored Presi letit. The services spoke the word ] ft sorrow for Wilmington, and other vidences of its grief were to be seen luring the past week in drooping :Olors and the drapery of mourning. After apparent recovery from the llness which came to him at Seattle, he sudden death of President’ Harding it San Francisco, on Thursday night if last week, gave the nation one of S**ts .severest shocks and brought it to , realization of the burdens under Vhich its President had been suffer ing ’ during the -little more than two 'ears since he took the oath of of fice to serve the people ■ under diffi lulties of the gravest and most enor >us and trying character. Too late re realized that he needed the na tion’s sympathy worse during his brief truggle with its problems than he ieeds the sorrowing of the people now. lowed in grief, we are overwhelmed rith the thought that one of the re-1 •ublic’s chiefs needed sympathy pos ibly witheld, heedless of the duty re owed to him who has become a partyr in our service. That public ympathy did begin to go out to the imeneted President in this last year f his service and sacrifice, and with n the last six months ,he had chai ned that sympathy by giving to us he hope of a new policy to which it 9 certain now that he gave up life j ‘self. He was willing to give up a areer for it, he gave the supreme acriflce for it. For the past nine days, the flags f the nation have been at half-mast i s a token of the grief of the people f tl?e United States because of the eath of the President of their nation. J1 flags In Wilmington were half .asted, and there was unmistaken evl ence of ' the deep slncerty dis layed in the sentiment of respect to tie memory of Warren Gamaliel Hard ig, chief magistrate of the people, .t the annual celebration of the evolutionary battle of Moore’s Creek, ear Wilmington Thursday, the loore’s Creek Battleground associa ton displayed its'flag at half-mast and - had a sombre effect on the thousands athered from more than a half dozen lunties around. - Thero could be no more manifest rtdenfle of the patriotic sense of the merican masses than the subdued ef ;ct that the death of their President ad upon them. Death stifled partisan ickering instantly, and the' sorrow t the people was as spontaneous as it was genuine. There was nothing -udied or affected about it but a snse of profound lament came upon 11 classes and conditions of men. They >rgot politics and.couM only remejn sr that the chosen chief' of the' na* on * had. been shrouded in death. • ia a healthy sign of sustained itriotlsm. Some account for it on le ground that the world war^ brought mer leans closer together than ever store. Anyhow, there is consolation tat the kinship of Mhe people fi* cognized more generally than 'has sen the case for more than a half sntury, " . . BRIGHT SIDE TO, FOREIGN TRADE _ In an interview at Wellesly Hills, Mass., a few days ago, Roger Babson, economist, declared that we are buy ing too much from Europe, 'Since, im ports for the first Six months of the year are greater than exports for the same period. He said that the trer mendous import trade from Europe is probably the reason why eertain mills and factories in New England are shutting down. It might strike ohe that instead of the imports being too large, the real reason is that our exports are too small. It brings up the old story of Europe’s inability to buy our cotton, wheat and foodstuffs. Europe can sell, of course, but she can buy only from hand to mouth, and if Europe could not sell she would buy from us even less than she does now. While grain exports to Europe have been great in tonnage, the European market for grain has not been sufficiently strong to make the price of grain good for the Western growers. Our cotton exports to Europe have fallen off, and a glimpse of that the balance of trade against us shows that had cotton exports been normal they would have turned the. trade balance in our favor. The cotton boll weevil is largely responsible fpr lessend i cotton exports, but Europe’s inability' to buy has aided the boll weevil to bring about a balance of trade against Europe. Investigation will show that i the greatest falling off in the exports to Europe has occurred in the cotton ports of the south. We very strongly suspect the boll weevil of. making a poor trade balance for us, despite the high tariff which apparently should have prevented a great flood of im ports. Mr, Babson explains: Great imports from abroad must result in less American-made goods being purchased and consequently in t'he shutting down, part time at least, of American mills and facto ries. If this continues it will ulti mately result in unemployment in many lines of industry and in many communities. Of course, if we were increasing our exports as our im ports increased, this might solve the problem; but our exports have shown a steady decline during the past four years Although we ex- . ported in 1920 goods to the amount j of $8,228,016,307, our total exports for the first six months of this year * were less than two billion dollars. I This means that although our man ufacturing capacity is greater than ever, we are selling less abroad and buying more from abroad than ever before. There is a tendency among the farmers to blame the administra tion for this situation. Although the recent congress may be to blame for many things, it certainly is not to blame for our present im port situation. The recent con gress enacted one of the highest tariffs ever enacted in history, and did all it could to prevent this dif ficulty which the country is facing today. The higher we put the tar iff the" harder and longer the work men of Europe work. Moreover, we cannot blame them while the mas ses of this country are living on the fat of the land. The workmen of Europe must either sell goods to America of starve, pf course, we could start a campaign over here to buy all American goods, but such a campaign would be very difficult to put across. The only answer to the problem is that our people must work harder and be more efficient in order to balance up the situation. "When two jars of water are connected by a tube, the water in the two jars ultimately must level. It happens today that the water in the American jar is the higher, and the question be fore us is whether we will let the water in our own jar fall to the European level, or raise the ijuro pean level to meet ours. The prob able result will be that our level will come down some and their level will come up to meet us. We must improve our efficiency while" they must increase their purchas ing power. The fact that the Business In dex of the Babson" chart has drop ped to # percent below normal Is largely due to this import situa tion, which is resulting in the gradual shutting down of our mills and factories. Of course, the con dition of the American farmer and the inefficiency of labor are also factors in bringing down this ln thaf fi xUrT Considering the fact IhoL b ,nM? w*s 11 percent above normal in March of this dn**1"'* th® ??'ure ot * Potent be an^ t.oda>r 18 a very abrupt and serious decline. Probably, Babson has generally sized up the situation right. Europe ■was forced to go to work after the war. We took our time about resuming' work and were not disposed tp wprk at less than war time and Inflation period wages. Now that we have gone to work, oftr trade outlook is improving. The / department of com merce sees a bright side to our foreign trade, but it says our trade Is swing ing from Europe to other continents. So far as cotton and what are con cerned, however, those v other contin ents are not such large takers of our cotton and wheat. President J. 8. Wannkmaker, of the American Cotton association, looks only to Europe for markets for cot ton and in a speech In South Carolina last Thursday, he urged an Immediate session of congress tor the purpose of opening the European.markets for cot ton^and wheat. The republican con gress, however, is not liable to agree with Mr. Wannamaker’s way of open ing markets in Europe, ,• | y It Ought not to take an economist to observe that even the highest tariff we have ever had can „ not prevent Europe from selling lief manufactures in the United States. That condition can not be remedied to any great ex tent so long as wages are dispropor tionately high in the United States and low iriTiurope. The cojuntry with, low wages and low cost of production is bound to get the better ole us for awhile. . . It is quite obvious that until the ( world once more gets on an even keel, we can not count on stabilization of our trade. There is no Stabilization in Europe and there will be no stabi lized export trade for us till Europeaii problems are safely settled. NATURE’S FARMING REGION During the last two days, this "ad junct of The Star has renewed his allegience to the Nation’s Garden Spot because of some observations Of Alluvial Carolina farming along 60 miles of highways in Bladen, Pender and N\w Hanover counties. Only the pernicious activities of the Mexir can cotton boll weevil married the otherwise glorious crop prospects of this section, but despite the cottoh pest, the farmers are cheerfully satis fied that they have beaten the weevil to the best of the crop. Wd went out into cotton which was heavily in fested, 45 percent being the estimate of a boll weevil expert, but the cotton .plants had nevertheless put on a good crop of bolls before the ravagers got busy. Now they are doing their worst, but the owner of that infested field will have some good cotton to pick, although not the bale or more that such land would yield only for the pest. Everywhere, the yellow tobacco crop was magnificent; Much of it ha'd been stripped and cured and some of it marketed at prices which make farm ers smile in defiance at Billy Boll Weevil. In localities the earth is covered with the glory of the peanut and sweet potato crops. Other, crops are bountiful • in appearance, and the man by the wayside could depose to the effect that he was in the land of plenty—plenty of farmers and weevils, too. Alluvial Carolina has crops which make the thrifty husbandman independent of the cotton crop on which he has taken a chance. In the matter of corn, crop luxuri ance was more impressive than any thing else. One could not 6ee the land for the stalks, standing out en masse, forests of corn, stocky and heavily laden, with soy beans and velvet beans or peas covering the earth between the rows. It would take a telescope to see a a man five feet amidst the dense cornfields along the highways. Some fields of corn evidently will pro duce from 40 to 60 bushels, while crops of 80 to 100 bushels would not be surprising on some of the lands bordering the very edges of smooth asphalt highways. In addition to the corn yield, the same land will produce 30 to 40 bushels of soy beans. They make the fields a ■ veritable picture. The fields furnished visible and mute evidence of the declaration of the late Dr. Bradford Knapp that this is “Na ture’s Own Corn Belt.” Hard alongside the Castle Hayne highway were some of the best corn and beans coming under observation. “Here’s inhere Illinois corn farmers ought to take a look around at this season of the year,” declared J. S. Punches, while motoring in from the Moore’s Creek battleground last Thurs day. Mr. Funches asserted: “This is the worlds greatest farming country.” The Star will never dispute it. The evidence is too overwhelming. “Na ture’s Own Corn Belt” is new speaking for itself. Pitty ’tis, that the culti vated area in all kinds of crops con stitutes less than a third of the vast area of un'tillow, manless lands in this section. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LIKES TOBACCO IDEA Editor Star: - - I was glad to see an editorial In your columns commenting- or least Indicating the value of considering carefully the suggestion of the Dutr commercial agency In relation to mak ing this a tobacco market and a toV baccO, manufacturing center. The idea came to me as entirely new. yet I won dered .that I had not thought or this myself. Its arguments ahe-so obvious ,By all means push this tobaoco mart idea, And more particularly ipush (the Ides, of making this ... louaeeo, manu facturing town. I have lived In one town where more cigars arC blade than In any place except Tampa and Key West and I know that the payroll or the Industry means to the town and what the profits mean In investment! In realty, banking and industry gen erally. We have prosperity knocking at our door If we bestir ourselvep and give It welcome. And right here let me say thAt I have known many a town to neglect opportunities because of failure to grasp their possibilities and I have seen them live to /express the deepest -regret. I was born In a town that‘.the late Jay . Cook who. built the Erie railway wanted to make a' city, but shortsighted natives made' it "hard for him to acquirfe land at reasonable prices and be .abandoned the project. And I know another town that dreaded smoke so it lost the Lackawanpa which It might have had and now It has nothing but Its farm, trade ,on which] to rely for Its dally sustenance and gowi roads are drifting Ahat away.
