THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 28, 1921. 12 WARNS AGAINST LOSS OF TRADE Depreciation of Foreign Ex change Hurts Business With South America. South Bend, Ind., June 28. A warning- azainst loss of South American trade through depreciation of monetary exchange values was given to Ameri can business men in a statement issued here by Rev. John F. O'Hara, dean of the department of commerce, Xotre Dame University. He called particular attention to the steady decrease in Argentine exchange. 'The effect of the phenomenal losa in value of South American monies is that South American merchant3 are unable to buy goods in the United States or to pay for goods previously pm-chased in good faith," said Rev. O'Hara. "Such goods have mounted in some custom houses in South America to an enormous extent and foreign commer cial rivals of the United States are tak ing advantage of this situation to spread propaganda against American interests. "These European rivals have spread the fabrication that the United States, having assumed financial supremacy of the world, is taking advantage of the. situation to 'beat down, the ex changes of other countries. This ex planation is not only, absurd, but like wise it is dishonest." The real explanation, the dean said, is that European accounts, especially English banking houses, have put off their indebtedness to American firms by buying dollar acceptance in the South American market. These trans fers of funds or credits from South America to the United States, he added, resulted in depreciation of the South American exchange rate. "There is nothinsr dishonest about this process by which depreciation of exchange is brought about. It is simp ly good banking business and the Brit ish exchange ankers must be given credit for taking advantage of the situa tion," he added. "However. It is work ing terrific harm to American inter ests in South America." The dean declared the only remedy was the balancing of trade between the United States and Latin-American nations. "The balance between imports and exports cannot be righted, however, until there is more production in the United States and consequently . more demand here for South American raw products. The extension of credits to South American countries would ma terially help the present situation," said the economist. "Another means of solving this situa tion would be. the investment of Ameri can capital in South American securi ties. The permanent transfer of American funds to the prospective Latin-American markets would right the discrepancy between the supply and demand of bills and bring ex change back to par." he concluded. "This would enable South Americans to renew their trading In the American market." MUTT AND JEFF JEFFS LINE OF REASONING WAS JUSTIFIED, A T THAT.

Mrs. Peter W. D. Jones, who is ill at St. Peter's hospital, is reported as resting more comfortably. Dear Mrs. Thompson: ' I am a boy seventeen years old. I have been tak ing girls out. riding and to. shows for the past two years. Two years ago I met a girl who was not very . pretty, but who seemed to just suit me. I took her to a few shows and parties and my parents nev er said anything about it at first, but they , finally refused to let me have anything to do with her on account of some gossip concernng her reputation. She was always very nice and modest when. with me. but my parents say she is too wild . for. me . to . have any1 iin s to. Uo with.. ,v- My mother ' wants me ; to go with a girl who is very nice around people old er than herself, but when she gets out is a terror. My parents will not let me explain things to them. I tried to stay away from the gM I like for a while, but none of the others suited me. . Could-you give me some advise as to how to convince my parents she is nice? WORRIED. 'Your " parents' " intentions are good, but it seems to " me that they are making a mistake in forcing their opin ions on you without giving ya a chance to express your own opinions. If. you cannot talk face to .face with your parents, write them a letter, stat ing what you know to be the truth. It might be tactful to say that at the age of seventeen you are not serious about any girl, but you do ask for. the right to go with the girl you like when you know her to be a sweet, good girl. Suggest that your mother invito t girl to your home sometime so that sii will have an opportunity to know her better. Gossip is so vicious. Only too of ten the victim is innocent, but after losing her reputation because of false reports she is forced to make undesir able friends because people of better standing shim her. Then in time, she becomes so discouraged that she sinks to the level of her friends. - You are too-young-to act contrary to the demands of your parents. If they tell you . you must not see the girl, explain to her. that you have liked her, better than anyone else and etll her. why.- Your -faith in her will go far in keeping her sweet and good. Do not tell her that your parents object because " of gossip about ' her reputa tion. . ' Our completely equipped chop enables us to repair or retread any size motor car or truck pneumatic tire.

Take your stand for the right and, no mat ter how much you suffer for the time being, have faith that the outcome will be good because you have done your best. - ' The industrial situation in Cleveland is very unsettled. There, as in other states, people are feeling the pinch, of hard times and very few jobs are avail able. It might be, however, that your husband would work his way into some thing. Send him on his way with your love and best wishes and do not mention your lack of faith in him. Ask him to write to you and keep you, post ed, and in turn write to him about your self and the children. Make' your let ters as cheerful and companionable as ycu can. Do not show a fear that he will not return. . To . let the other, woman come into the home might keep him for a short time, but it would not be fair to you or the children 'to let such a condition exist.

' : ; - ' . ' .' We find that all classes of con sumers are holding off. This is a big mistake. The production of coal is, as a consequence,; very low just enough ' to meet immediate needs. YET: There are plenty of cars -for getting the coal to you. Weather conditions are favor able. Prices, we believe, are as low. as they will be this year. We are. in this country just now passing through the last stages of post-war conditions. It is absolutely : necessary to keep an even keel to STABIL IZE. Read our next announce-' ments ; they will ? tell you why you should.- : The immediate resumption of the movement of coal in large volume will exert a ) marked beneficial influ ence upon the efforts of all to restore conditions in -the business world to something like normal. It is an eco nomic necessity. Because of its magnitude, the coal mining and distributing industry bears an important relation to the whole country's prosperity. At the same time, coal is an es sential to all domestic consumpers, and likewise to a great many facto ries. ' . . Delay on the part of all the peo ple in providing themselves with sup plies of coal for future certain needs ' the result: a very low production of coal, a great slump in prices, lack of railway tonnage. When business-revives, there will be a tremendous demand to replenish reserves now largely depleted; par ket conditions changed over-night, lack of sufficient railway cars and a coal shortage. That has been the his tory of the coal business. Attempts then on the part of the public to place the blame will not bring sup plies of coal nor relieve the public of the consciousness that it contributed materially to the unsatisfactory conditions. 2SditioMeby f- 8eS of.fv1 articles on coal producing and distribute The Charlott Coal tilers No. 8 Will ; Be Printed Thursday.
