Limit on Luxury
Imports Urged by
Czech Economist
Foreign Minister Points Out
Danger of Accusing Ire
of Masses; Asks That Bet
ter Prices Be Demanded

Dr Karl Englis. minister Of finance
OF Czecho-Slovakia, is considered the
foremost political economist of his
country. His views on regulating for
elgn trade have been expressed in adj
dresses which have been translated for
the "Czecho Slovak Review"
Our conside rations," he saws. "must
be restricted to this-that the main
artery OF our foreign trade should
properly function Simply stated, we
must not permit the export of lumbe =
IN exchange for wines and sugar for
specs and chocolates. The main ar
ticid or our exports must serve exclu-
slVely to compensate imports of those
things which we need most urgently.
FOR our sugar, hops, malt. lumber and
glass we must import only that which
at the moment we need most for the
benefit of the whole people, paricu-
larly foods, and we must export at
prices approaching those of our i'm
ports in accordance with either the
domestic or the foreign markets.
I'm these goods on whose imports and
exports depends the economic exist
ence of the state we cannot allow an
unrestrained foreign trade. but must
insist on regulations which will
assure US, without state contributions,

ally active organization, which would
be empowered to export certain i'm
portant commodities, but which would
have the duty imposed to import com
the import of things we need most
urgently. That is in the interest of
the state and state finances.
The organization of foreign trade in
other branches is not possible Of con-
troll, because of the diversity of thou
sands of articles of export; here must
and may be loose organization; also
here the interests of the state recede
to the background"
Regarding Injuries, he added:
"ln these days extravaganza must be
treated from a socio- psycholog ical
standpoint. To the masses of people
OF small means many self-denials and
restrictions are imposed Labor is
-,
again more work. 1t is difficult to ask
these masses to retain their patience,
when they see, all about them, so much
extravaganza of clothes, amuscments,
automobiles, etc
But do not let US depend in all
things on the government. All inhabi-
tants must, through internal moral
force and ar understanding, work
toward that which is for the general
benefit. 1t would be gratifying if the
wealthy classes, regardless of police
regulations, could feel the immortality
OF reckless spending in these times and
become disguised AT their exhibitions
of spectacular personal extravaganza. To
hold honestly acquired property is not
q transgression. rather, it is q proof Of
merit, labor and economy. but a rea-
sonable use of such resources is 9
command to every one"

EARLY HISTORY OF COFFEE
Traditions Differ, but the Beverage
Has Been Appreciated for Many
Hundreds OF Years.

There is tradition to the effect
that coffee was found growing wild
In Arabia some 600 years ago by Hadji
Omar, a dervish. Hadii Omar was
dying of hunger in the desert when
he found some SMALL round berries
and tried to eat them. They were,
however, too bitter. After roasting
them he finally STEPPED them in water
and found the decOction as refresh
Ing as if he had partaken of solid food
( Upon his return to Mohka, he brought
his discovery to the attention of
/ the wise man. who were so well
! pleased Herewith that they pro-
claimed Hadji Omar a saint.
In the Bibliotheque Rationale at
Paris there is manuscript written
In Arabic by one Abdelcader, who
| AYERS that coffee was drunk for the
first time in Arabia in the fifteenth
century. Other authorities have il
that coffee was used in Persia as early
as the ninth century, but there is lit
tie evidence to bear out their cUnten-
ton.
Abdelcader's story of the discovery
OF coffee is as follows: A certain
Arab, Gemalledin, judge IN Alden,
While travelling to Persia-or, as the
historians correct the manuscript, to
observation-disclosures people using cof-
fee as medicine. Gemalledin so EN-.
ployed it, and was cured of an Illness.
Later, on becoming monk, he taught
his brethren in Alden the use of the
berry.
No opposition to the use of coffee
appears to have been offered until the .
middle of the sixteenth century, when
the Egyptian sultan sent new gov
ernor, Chair Bey to Mecca. The gov
ernor knew nothing of the beverage
ana became greatly enraged at the
sight of the dervishes drinking coffee
In the mosques. Upon consulting with
Two Persian physicians he decided
mat coffee was a substitute for wine.
which was prohibited by the Koran,
and that. therefore, coffee drinking
was violation of M0hammeds law.
The result was a decree forbidding
the use of coffee. All berries that
could be found were gathered and
burned in the market place When
Chair Bey reported his action to the
sultan, it is said that he received this
reply:
Your physicians are asses. Our
lawyers and physicians In Cairo are
better informed. They recommend
he use of coffee, and l declare that
no faithful will lose heaven because
ne drinks coffee"
