The president, Mr. Ernest Smith, occupied the chair. A very profitable religious period was presided over by the Pas- tor.

THE UNBALANCBD BALANCE \ 0F ‘TRADE Sin-Your corresgndent “Studerit" after long deliberation and much questioning of himself and others evi- dently is satisfied he has found the solution of my question. “If all trans- actions were based on these lines where, or to whom, would the 01b0,- 000 worth of merchandise be sold when the original $100,000 paid for the wheat was the only money in. tho country?" Referring to this question in your issue of Nov. 30 "Student" writes: "That question has not been an- swered. I have tried find an an- . swer but I have been nable to satis- fy myself." His letter in this momingb issue of your paper makes very light of the question and there is no mystery about it. We simply pay for our im- ports with the profits on our exports. He gives a ‘different answer in his letter of January 1st. , Although "Student" gives two dif- ferent answers to this question, which he at first tried so hard to under- stand, he now finds the answer so simple and so obvious that he won- ders how any person (including him- self) could have missed it. It would be well for "Student" to let your read- ers know how this question became so easy for him to answer in different ways, and from what source he ob- tained the information that changed his opinion and permitted him to find such an apparently easy and self- satisfying solution. Your correspondent is evidently not a Divinity Student or he would not have changed my question quoted above to. "How can we pay for our imports when they exceed our exports." This question was more easily an- swered by saying: "We pay for our imports when they exceed our exports by the profits on our exports." Will "Student" explain how do wc pay for our imports if there was no profit but a loss on our exports?" It appears to mo that “Studenif, if he expects to pass his examinations \ in economics, will have to ask ques- _ tions about matters he docs not un- derstand, otherwise lie will not make the grade, unless his Professor comes to his aid with a flexible conscience. I would also suggest not to trouble himself about the Marxian theories on labour: however, as a rudimentary exorcise he might occupy his spare time, in figuring. what country is bone fitted the most- by labour in this transaction‘. A tree worth two dollars in Hali- fax is shipped to Portland, Maine. and there manufactured ~into paper, whereby its value is increased to fifty dollars and the paper is shiDPBd to Halifax and sold. Wliicli country bene- fits from a labour point of view. "This would also be a case oi the value of imports exceeding the value of ex- ports. Would the profit on two dol- lars worth of exports pay for fifty dollars worth oi‘ imports?"- If "Student" has any additional in- formation about how, or to whom, the importation of $150,000 worth of mer- chandise would be sold when the $100.- 000 received for the wheat was all the money in the country. It would be pleasant reading. I am sir, ctc.. WOODENWAIIE IN SCOTLAND Broom handles-appear to be the most important item imported 1M0 scotland from the Dominioir writes G. B.
