TRADE REVIEW
Widespread Hot Wave Makes

: New York, June 6.-The widespread
hot wave and the approach of the
midyesr holidays have stimulated retail
trade 10 light summer fabrics and
furnishings, but made for quiet in
most of the wholesale and industrial
lines, the latter in most cases arrang,

tons. The result is a somewhat ir,

while not fulfilling sanguine expecta.

the taIitf revision and worldwide
tight money had led most observers to
predict.
Most measures of trade volume and
progress make satisfactory comparison
with a year ago, a period of political
excitement and hesitating trade.
Bank clearings for June and the six
months show fractional gains over last
year; there were fewer failures in June
than in any month for two years past,
and the six months aggregate is below
that of 1912. All show q few large

and three submarines. The recon-
mendations as to this small-ship con-
struction are of paramount impor-
tance. Great Britain, whose naval pro-
gram has been the center OF the
stormy discussions of naval vaca-
ton" is soon to end the all big-gun
era," according to a recent statement
in the London Globe, and increase
the construction of smaller vessels,
adding that during the recent British
naval maneuvers submarines demon
strated such ability to take offensive
action as to render battleShips almost
impotent. Such a conclusion in regard
to the offensive action of submarines
is especially important in view of the
fact that one of the submarines recon-
mended by Mr.. Daniels is of I,aoo
tons displacement, practically twice as
large as the ordinary submarine, and
capable, as to both speed and sea-
worthiness, of accompanying feet of
battleships through any waters instead
of confning their activities to home
waters. The general board recon-
mended eight submarines and sixteen
destroyers.
Mr.. Daniels recommendations, con-
templating the improvement of condi-
tions affecting the personnel of the
service, will meet with cordial SYM
pathy. The unanimity of approval
will be broken when the recommenda-
tions for a government armor plate
factory and a government fuel oil sup
ply are considered. But even here it
is probable that, so far advanced is the
sentiment for government ownership
of resources and facilities, regarded
as indispensable to processes of gov
ernment that he will have ample popu-
lar support to command close, if not
a finally acquiescent consideration.
With President Wilson's Cabinet so
inclined towards in
arbitration and universal
peace, through international arbitra-
tion, Mr.. Daniels recommendations
are tremendously significant of the ad-
methods of maintaining
amity.

What Congress Can Do for Us.

Congress best opportunity to show
recognition of its duties to the Dis
trict OF Columbia lies in a fair dis
posal OF the estimates for the Dis
trict's budget of 1915, submitted to
Congress yesterday.
The appeal to Congress to make the
District a model municipality because
it is the Capital of the United States
is futile SO far as constructive legis-
lation for the benefit of the Districts
residents is concerned. 1t may gain
appropriations for ornamentation of
the Capital, as such, but it is and ever
will be Ineffective of Improvements in
schools, libraries, baths, Fairgrounds,
markets, facilities of sanitation and
the other agencies whose degrees of
excellence and plentitude determine
the moral and physical health of the
community. To achieve results of
betterment to the people of the Dis
trict the appeal must be made in be-
malt OF, and founded upon, the needs
Of the people of the District, without
regard to the fact that their munich
patty is the Capital of the Nation.
The estimates submitted by the
Commissioners constitute such an ap-
peal They express the needs of the
District, as a municipality with a pop
ulation OF more than $4,000, in a ter
ritory larger than that usually occu-
pied by an urban population of those
proportions. By a reasonable, not
generous treatment, of these estimates,
Congress can establish the relations

exist between a country and its seat

TRADE BOARD MEETING.

AIcrabership Committee Declines
Dinner OGered by Directors.
Self-deniaI took its appropriate place
among the unwrItten laws OF the WASH
ington Board of Trade yesterday after
noon when, with an abnegation seldom
equaled, the members of the board S
membership committee, through their
chairman, H. Clifford Bangs, refused a
perfectly good dinner. The meal, a
sumptuous one, has been ordered by the
directors for increasing the membership.
The committee fortitudinously declined
because they didn't wish to eat at the
expense of the Board OF Trade.
The directors appropriated 800 for pay
ment Of the boards dues to the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress. The direc-
tors ordered a special meeting of the
Board Of Trade at 4:S0 O'Clock Wednes-
day. December 10, in the cabinet room Of
the New Willard Hotel. to act upon
referenda five and six, submitted by the
Chamber of Commerce OF the United

Light for All.

Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, vituper-
ated by a whole people as the head of
cruel and rapacious trust, has for a
long time been one of the best known
Sunday school teachers in the world.
For a shorter, but not inconsiderable
space, his enunciations of philosophy
of the sort usually termed "homely'
have made him a notable among the
self-constituted counselors of human
ity. Latest dispatches concerning the
sabbatarian activities of the oil king
tell of yet another function he has as
sumed for the benefit of his fellow
men.
This new function may best be de-
scribed, perhaps, as manifestation
of popular economy. Apparently neg
lectful of his own interests, Mr..
Rockefeller, leisurely basking in the
sunshine in front of his favorite church
after meeting Sunday morning, advo-
Gated an equal distribution of sunlight.
Mr.. Rockefeller specified sunlight; he
did not mention the illuminant of which
he is so often accused of enjoying a
monopoly. When Benjamin Franklin
informed the savants of Paris that by
fortuitouS wakefulneSs about the
hours when properly conducted per
sons were just beginning to sleep
soundly, he had discovered that the
sun rose so early in the morning that
its full daily service to the world
amounted to at least twelve hours,
making possible, if it were fully util-
lied, the saving of millions of francs
worth of candles, Franklin made no
personal sacrifice. He had no candles
to sell, and the substitution of sun
light for candlelight would do him no
hurt.
But with Mr.. Rockefellers recon-
mendation of sunlight there is a diff
ference. Perpetual sunshine equally
distributed would make churches un-
necessary" Mr.. Rockefeller said. 1t
would make oil unnecessary too. Mr..
Rockefeller's spirit of self-sacrifce
lends his fine theory a dignity which
its impossibility does not afford.
The Washington herald., 1913-12-02
Facing Congress.

President Wilson today will make
his third address to Congress. 1t is
apparent that the day has passed of
the old omnibus message into which
was poured every legislative recon-
mendation that occurred to the Presi-
dent and his executive advisers. Few
persons heard it; fewer read it, and
nearly all forgot.
The revival of the custom of Wash
ington and the first Adams, who ad-
dressed Congress in person, has
worked for concentration of public
attention upon the policies of first i'm
portance. President Wilson tersely
outlined his tariff creed when he ad-
dressed the new Congress at the
opening of its extraordinary session.
He made himself sponsor for the
Democratic bill then and so remained
until it was on the statute books.
When tariff revision had been accom-
plished he went again to the Capitol
and spoke on currency. No other
subject was mentioned in that address.
When, in August, Mexican affairs
reached a crisis, an address devoted
exclusively to that subject was deliv-
cred and now, we are informed, the
first annual address at the opening of
the regular session is TO be brief and
to the point.
This insures an attentive hearing of
the message by the entire membership
Of Congress, which is more than was
commanded by the droning reading of
the interminable written messages of
many Presidents.
Possibly the Presidents message
system is due to the self-confession
that his mind is a single-track line,
unable to run more than one train of
thought at a time. In admitting this
the President was simply more candid
than most of us, for the average
man-which includes the average leg
islator-is similarly circumstanced. If
the practice of limiting addresses to
few subjects and passing on to others
when those are disposed of contributes
to a more orderly process of legisla-
tion, the nation will have reason to
thank Mr.. Wilson for going back 100
years to restore the custom which
Thomas Jefferson abolished.

Significant Recommendation.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels
recommendations to Congress for
naval construction for 1915 will have
the hearty approval of a large major
ity of the people. While the number
of Dreadnoughts he recommends is
one fewer than the number recon-
mended by his predecessor, Mr.. Never,
and but half of the number recon-
mended by the present general board,
Mr.. Daniels makes it PLAIN that he
will not recede at all from the two

and that he is distinctly progressive as

sides the two Dreadnoughts, he asks
Congress to authorize eight destroyers

address last night at the Cosmopolitan

the meeting was TO inaugurate a cam

ing Of $4,000 to pay off the church debt.
The obligation of the government for
the religious and intellectual education

of the same degree as that for the
whites" He also discussed the progress
OF the colored race during the last few
years. "At no time since the emancipa-
ton have the negroes been without the
assistance of the whites. but the time
soon will be here when the race will be
able to stand alone and accept its burden
independently" said he.
The meeting which is the first OF
series to continue until December 70, was
presided over by F. N. Lee. Addresses
also were made by Rev. I. n. Ross, of
