Library Notes
- By Mrs. Sam Isaacs
-S
Though the roof at the build-
ing leaked in many places, the
plaster was soaked through, and
much water fell upon the floors
of both the library and the par-
lors, book stacks and shelving
escaped the deluge and no dam-
age was done to books.
Mrs. Jepp Todd donated sever
al books last month. Last week
she gave us "Bonfire" by Dorothy
Canfield. This has a small Ver-
mont village in a valley with a
beautiful mountain view for its
setting and is the intimate story
of the people who lived there.
The author's characterization is
so skillful that the reader feels
himself a part of the village cir-
cle. The book will be found on
the seven-day shelf.

Economic Highlights
"Lost foreign trade of the
United States would have paid
the Federal relief bill," says a
headline in the United States
News. That's a startling state-
ment—but figures prove it.
In 1934, value of exports of
United States products to for-
eign countries was more than
$3,300,000,000 under the record
1929 level—and the Federal gov-
ernment spent over $2,300,000,-
000 on relief. In 1935, the relief
bill was $3,188,000,000—and the
loss in foreign trade from the
1929 figure was $3,252,000,000.
Estimates hold that this year our
•foreign trade loss as compared
with the greatest of the boom
years will be about $3,000,000,-
000—almost precisely what the
U. S. Treasury is going to pay
out in relief.
Thus, for the three-year per-
iod, our lost foreign trade totals
approximately $10,000,000,000 —
and relief cost the taxpayers of
the country ..around $8,500^000,000
in the same period. Had we been
able to keep foreign trade on the
1929 level during depression, we
could have paid the entire cost
of Federal relief out of the re-
ceipts, and had the neat sum of
a billion-and-a-half left over for.
other purposes.
Of course, nothing could have
enabled us to maintain our trade
at that level—the world-wide de-
pression, coupled with general
uncertainty in Europe, currency
wars and fluctuations1 and other
monetary disturbances, tariffs
and embargoes, were responsible
for most of the loss. The domes-
tic AAA program is believed by
many to have been a factor in
reducing agricultural exports,
though friends of the IAAA say
that we couldn't have found mar-
kets for our surplus even if
crop reductions had never been
put into effect. Irrespective of
that, the cold statistics'show con-
clusively that the welfare of a
number of big industries, and a
vast amount of employment, hing-
es on foreign trade.
In the latest years for which
complete figures are available,
Department of Commerce tabula-
tions show that this country has
sent abroad half of the cotton
crop, two-thirds of all refined
copper, one-third of farm machin-
ery and lubricating oils, 40 per
cent of aircraft, and a little less
than 20 per cent of radios. These
items are simply samples.
If, tomorrow, all our existing
foreign markets were suddenly
closed to us, industry and agri-
culture would be plunged into
havoc. Assistant Secretary of
State Sayre has published a
booklet on just what foreign
trade means to the farmer and
worker — and the conclusions
drawn are thought-provoking in
the extreme. According to this
authority, loss of our foreign
markets would mean that we
would have to retire almost 9,-
000,000 acres of wheat land, 23,-
000,000 acres of cotton land, 65S,-
000 acres of tobacco land, more
than 9,000,000 acres of corn land
used for raising hogs, and 7,000,-
000 acres of land used for graz-
ing horses which work the oth-
er land. The total comes to over
40,000,000 acres which today sup-
port 3,200,000 people.
An even bigger problem, Secre-
tary Sayre points out, exists in
the industrial field. Conservative
estimates place the industrial
population directly dependent up-
on exports at 7,500,000. Add this
to the farm population also de-
pendent, on foreign buying, and!
you have close to 11,000,000 peo-
ple whose economic security hing-
es on foreign trade.
Anyone with a workable an-
swer to the question of how for-
eign trade may be increased,
would certainly be a national
benefactor—unfortunately, no one
has the answer, and experts dif-
fer greatly in their theories. Cer-
tain things are obvious, however
such as the problem of tariffs,;
and the eternal question of how
American workers are to be pro-
tected from cheap-labor foreign
competition. The State Depart-
ment, under Secretary Hull, has
sought to increase foreign busi-
ness through reciprocal trade
agreements with a number of
powers, of which Canada is the
most important, and some prog-
ress has been made. But it's still;
a tough situation."
The United States News points
out something that is not gener-
ally realized — that imports as
well as exports create jobs in
this country. Many imported ma-
terials must be processed or ser-
viced. All of them must be trans-
ported and distributed. This re-
quires labor, and a lot of it.
Foreign trade affects the eco-
nomic destinies of us all. And
some of the best heads in the
country, in government and in-
dustry and agriculture, are grow-
ing gray trying to figure out the
answer to the many-faced prob-
lem foreign trade presents today.

Business Week says that "busi-
ness continues to display surpris-
ing vitality over a wide front de-
spite the political uncertainties
abroad that are assuming in-
creasing importance in any long
range appraisal of business for-
tunes."
Heavy industry, which took it
on the chin hardest during de-
pression, is still improving. And
that grade-A barometer, electric
power output, recently registered
contra- seasonal improvement.
Nothing seems able to stop the
march of recovery.
