lie said there was no inconsistency
because the Presidents course in re-
ferring the question to the courts was
merely to determine the extent TO which
favored national treaties are law.
The attorneys for the importers, on
the other hand declared ii would be
a spectacle of incongruity if the At
torney General, or his representative,
should argue seriously that a court of
law is not a proper tribunal for the
consideration of the precise question
referred to 1t by the President upon the
express ground that the matter was
essentially judicial"
The importers claim the free duty
privilege is a gratuitous concession to
Canada and as such comes within the
scope of the favored nation clause.
The government denies 1t is gratuity
because it is granted on condition that
Canada lay no restriction upon the eX-
portation of wood pulp and paper.
The question will be orally argued
tomorrow.

Washington, January 1s.-The ques-
ton whether European nations by vir-
tue of the favored nations" clause
of their commercial treaties with the
United States are entitled to send wood
pulp and paper into this country free
of duty is argued by the government
and importers in briefs submitted to
the customs court today.
Canada, by the only operative clause
of the Canadian reciprocity treaty, now
enjoys that privilege and several pro-
tests from European government have
been lodged with the state department
against what they term the discrim
ination.
Although President Taft declared the
relation of the treaties and the reci-
procity act could better be considered
by court than by executive construc-

This nation is full of honorable men

they have had their energies SO absolute

which they were industrially identified
that they have not until the nation spoke
loud, raised their eyes from their booi-s

were doing stood related to the fortunes

Now they -are beginning TO see these
elationships and as they see these rela-
tioEships they are beginning to feel the
refreshment of men who look away from
a particular task and extend their eyes
to the fortunes of men lying outside their

these new purposes come into the hearts
of men who have not permitted them

look upon. For the nation cannot move
successfully by anything except concert

''You cannot whip a nation into line.
You cannot drive your leaders before
you. You have got to have spirit that
thrills the whole body; and I believe that
that spirit is now beginning to thrill the
whole body. Men are finding that they
will be bigger business men, as they will
spend some of their brains on something
that has nothing to do with themselves,
and that the more you extend the use of
your energy. the more energy you have
got to spend upon your own affairs-that
enrichment comes with the enlargement,
and that with the enrichment comes the
increase of power.
