A HUNDRED BILLION IN IIOMK TRADE jj ; The total volume of American business during tho cur rent year, the National Association .of Retail Credit Men i'stimates, will exceed $100,000,000,000. Just say that over Blowly "One hundred billion dollars." That is all domestic business, too. It far surpasses anything in history, and is eloquent testimony to the abounding prosperity now en joyed by the American people. It must have been earned uomehow to bo available for spending. ' This is still more eloquent testimony to tho value of the domestic market. Compared with that stupendous total, the greatest foreign trade on record was n mere mouthful. Exports and imports together reached about $13,000,000,000 in the big year of 1920; and for a good deal of, that, bo it remembered, the buyers have not yet paid. Ordinarily our , foreign trade amounts to seven or eight billions. We sell to ourselves more than 12 times as much as we tiell to all the rest of the world together. When we prosper us we are prospering now, it is due pre-eminently lo thi; fact that America gets rich by selling to Americans. And the domestic market is still far from being fully developed. Foreign trade opportunities are important; yet forever puch opportunity abroad there are' 20 right hero at home, or the man who has vision to see them and enterprise to seek them. . only . it, ana no other scout earned as many aa 69. baa pun. t W.

K .--SO THE AIR RENAISSANCE After all that has been said alxiut the backwardness 01 the United States in air 'development, it is surprising to be told that this country today leads the world in nviation The fact is vouched for by Paul Henderson, general mali nger of the National Air Transport, who says there has been a renaissance in American nviation. The record of the last year shows it. There were 5,500,000 miles flown and more than 200,00(1 passengers carried, with a fair sta.t made ut carrying freight. Commercial operators numbered 290. ' 1 Until recently, he remarks, American aviation was un derrated by the army and navy, ignored by leaders in pub lic life and looked nt askance by business. Continuing: "But now, in midsummer 'of l!2(i, it may be that much of the former reserve in the high commands of the army and navy has disappeared; positive and definite attention has been given by the administration and congress; and finally, with tho entrance of responsible men and substantial capital into air transport, tho place of aviation in commerce and industry is now very generally recognized." ' We now have more commercial operators, he says, than any other nation. . We have nearly 9,000 miles of airways conducted on schedule, and 2,500 more under way. Wc have 3.008 landing fields. As a nation, we take the lead in avia tion, beyond question', though entirely without the subsidies provided by the governments of other countries. This is encouraging. Even now our air progress is hard to realize, because the countiy is so large that the airways are lost in it. IHit soon the progress should be evident everywhere to everybody.
