Tuesday, Aprl 27, 1920, FOREIGN TRADE "ON ITS OWN" Commerce may . feel safer when it is under the flag, but it does not place its entire reliance on the na tional emblem. Trade with the tech nically enemy lands is growing rap idly, according to the latest official statistics of the foreign commerce of the United States. In February last our imports from Austria amounted to $69,419, while our exports to that shrunken country aggregated $572,- 885. To - Germany we sent goods vJued at 18,598,807 and from there we received articles of com merce valued at $3,881,559. Nor are we completely cut off from Russia in Europe, which is neither friend or enemy.: In February we imported "from Russia goods valued at $55,627 and exported to the A is traught land things worth $910,303 These-are a long way from pre-war totals, but they show a resumption of world commerce that is encourag ing. PAPER FROM COTTON STALKS, Hardly a day passes that one does not read of newspapers which have been forced to reduce the number of pages or the amount of their adver tising space or the size of their V headlines on account of the paper shortage. Magazines, similarly em i barrassed, are resorting to such ex pedients as merging with others.. As the principal cause of the paper shortage is found in the disappear . ance of the forests from which the pulp wood is obtained and inasmuch as it take3 years to grow trees,(the outlook is "not bright for an abund- ant supply of paper in the near fu ture. There comes from a little vil . lege in Mississippi,, however,, a cheer ing message which holds hope of re lief. It is to the effect that experi ments made there in the manufac ture of paper from cotton stalks have 'been successful. Cotton stalks take only a few months to grow, arid the annual sup. ply in the southern states' is about 75,000,000 tons. - A ton of paper pulp can be produced from three tons of stalks. It will be seen, there fore, that if the paper thus manu factured can be made suitable for newsprint the problem is near solu tion. What information is available in regard to the paper made from cotton stalks does not disclose the extent to which it is fit for printing. The fiber is reported fo be strong, flexible, durable and light. It has double the tensile strength of the stock ordinarily used to make wrap ping paper. Let us hope that it can be used for newsprint. If the manufacture of paper from cotton stalks should be commercially' attractive, it would be a great boon to the country. It will not only relieve publishers,' but will provide a market for material heretofore of no value, and thus add largely, to the profits of southern farmers. The benefits thaV may be expected foam the new industry, pro vided the' paper meets publishers' re quirements, ar incalculable. SHARP EYES REWARDED An eastern 'railroad ' has made a good investment in the $50 of war savings stamps that it nas bestowed upon a 12-year-old newsboy as a re ward for giving notice of a broken raiL It will encourage other boys to keep their eyes open and promptly report anything , they may observe ' which holds a threat to life and limb. Perhaps it . will be said that the newsboy did no more than his duty in reporting the broken rail, and that everybody else would have, done the same thing under the circumstances. Experience shows otherwise. This ' lad not only was sharp-eyed but al fj keen-witted.
