(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
With tlM' ii w unsettlementH in Europe facing us
h seems lik.- ip> ; fluous effrfrl to so on disclosing the
I-C: Il lation (! .ir old marketing conditions there. Yet
It ever into" lie borne in mind that it is oi prime
necessiti that th.v must be regained. It. is an absurd
ity to say ' i t tve can go forward without finding
route quartet in which to dispose of our surplus food
products an I in keep tlie slack out of our manufactures
l y disposing it tlie usual percentage of overproduction.
When the t. .cal year ended in December our fav
orable trade balance, whiclt in 1921 was $2,000,non.
non, had shrunk to $750,000,000. When, as the ex
torts ol th" Initial States Department of Commerce
note, then deducted the $200,000,000 net imports
at gold and such invisible items as remittances and
tourist (xpeusaa-, it will be seen that tile end of the
r,i\oralil ■ 11.id—balance period has be n reached and
[ho t'ul. ■!> harmonious position assumed of a concert
with the international economic conditions.
In tiie hi i II months of 1922 there was a de
crease i $7110,1100,000 in our exports of raw foid
-tuff' and manufactunwhich supplies a simple <x
plan:.iion mi the difficulties into which Die agrieul
ural imlu try finds itself tc be thrown. Our imports
Incrcasi il $410,000,000 in the same period, these bu
ng comp “d of raw materials and semi-manufactured
.■.(oils. Thus a billion of trade balances is accounted
or.
What these figures and conditions teach meet iin
lrec ively i- that this country must cast away senti
nentality, crupulous niceties and trrider respect for
indent conventionalities and get down to old-fashiou
d bus'int. methods. Not diplomatic, but cC-unting
louse methods should be tmplcyed, and these are
HUtated by the ominous approach cf the necessity for
ising red ink in cur foreign accounts. We are losing
it both bung and ipigot, and there is nc in ■ in Ii ins
nealy-mouthed in blurting out the truth.
Improvements in the Census.
(Now York Post.)
Few Americans have stopped 1o note that tlie
mpUticn ol the ceusu.- within three years, just an
lotuiced in Director Stuart's annual report, is an
tup'ecedentcd achievement. Never lias a census boon
o promptly end thoroughly taktn, or it results so
ironiptly published. Nor have most Americans stopped
o notice Die important changes in census policy
lus.t made or making. In growing degree the bu
•i au's work, once almost wholly decennial, is beoom
tig (|uinquenniai, biennial, or continuous. Agricul
nral censure have been taken every decade; now
:bey will tie tak n every five years. The census of
luimifactures, which up tc 1900 was taken every ten
oat.’, and since then ivory five year . will now be
ikm biennially. New subjects are constantly being
lirought within the scope of inquiry. Tile last decen
nial census, for example, included, foJ- the lirst lime,
data cn home mortgages, while monthly publication of
Mtistics of the sugar Industry has just commenced.
From expert hands the Census Bureau is about to pub
lish various monographs interpreting the results of
Dio decennial inquiry, this being one of many sug
LMSllons accpted from Die joint advisory committee
nl the American Mutistical and American Economic
Associations- W. S. Hois iter will write on papula
lion 'increase, Dr. K. A. Ooklenweiser on farm ten
ancy. Prof. Frank A. Ri.s on illiteracy, and so on.
Our censuses were long the plaything of politicians,
with the result that some were a national disgrace,
and the manifold error resulting from their inac
uraey can never Vic overtaken. Every industry anti
ti ll' iin new retards the census as an indispens
aide illuminani. The most important new demand
' r its expansion, that for a regular census of mer
cantile enterprises, i.- o commendable that Congrest
mid make early provision to meet it.
