figures for our December trade. But
IL will never do as plea for pro-
hibitive tariff.
II is an undeniable fact that these
are abnormal times, thar our recent
trade balance has been abnormal, and
that we can with certainty expect a
drastic change in the condition of
our commerce within the next few
months. But the very fact that be-
cause OF the essential character Of
its products this country has. risen
superior to dumping In abnormal
times is all the more reason for
keeping down the tariff bars as far as
is consistent with our own welfase.
With higher costs and higher wages
we cannot afford to impair Initiative
and invite dumping by abolishing the
tariff or by permitting it to be too
low. The promptings of self-interest
are just as inhibitive OF Il schedule
of duties choking or all foreign COM
petition In our domestic markets.
We cannot continue forever sending
out billions in goods without taking
back goods in return, to say nothing
Of the interest on and principal of our
foreign cerdits, which must be col
lected in merchandise or not at all.
We must have customs duties high
enough to take up differentials in
exchange and production costs here
and abroad, but not so high as to
prevent the liquidation of our top
heavy trade balance.

To Market Cuba's Sugar Crop.

Inc provisions or President MEMO
GALS decree to regulate the marketirG
of the 1920-21 Cuban sugar crop are
now in effect and operative, the neces-
sary number of producers having sig
nihed acceptance A few days ago
about 20 per cent. Of the mills, con-
trolling 1855, 1922 sacks of sugar, had
subscribed to 1t. This movement has
continued, and it Is expected that
all the sugar interests In the island
will fall in line.
A translation Of the text OF the de-
cree has been given out by the State
Department. Perhaps the most sig
nificant feature is the declaration or
the purpose OF forming commission
of control. 1t Is ito market the sugar
products in an orderly way In accord
ance with natural laws and so as not
10 permit the creation of an artificial
price" Cuba has learned her lesson.
All tn. financial difficulty which has
embarrassed her trade for the last six
months was due to price inflation-on
papcr-a year ago.
When the price Of raw sugar went
up to fabulous figures, sixteen to eigh-
teen cents a pound for time, some
of the growers and grinders thought
there was no limit. They talked of
thirty cent sugar and started boarding
to force the price to that figure. Dan
gerous loans were made on the stored
material Too often these caused reck-
less spending. Meanwhile the high
price brought out unsuspected sugar
from all parts of the world; the mar
ket was almost oversupplled. Prices
crashed and the hoarders and their
creditors were left with stupendous
loans and a badly deprecated Sc
curity.
The island is slowly recovering from
the effects of this. Its hope is In
the new crop, and at a fair price. But
fears have been acute that the same
old blunder Of greed and gambling
might be repeated; hence President
MENocAL's decree and its acceptance
by all the more conservative business
elements. 1t Is based on war legis-
lation, not yet repealed, under which
the crops from 1917 to 1919 were
handled. General MENocAL explicitly
lays down the principle that prices
must be so graded as not to be preju-
dicial to consumers, especially in the
United States, while allowing a fair
profit ON the years harvest and af-
fording liquid capital for replanting.
The commission consists of seven
prominent Cuban citizens, two repre-
senting the large and two the small
sugar interests, two the bankers who
have to furnish the credit to market
the crop and finance the plantations
and their owners until the next one,
and the Secretary OF Agriculture and
Commerce of the Cuban Government
Large powers are vested In them. All
sales must be reported to them, and
no sugar shipment can be made from
any port without their license.
What Cuba needs in this matter Is Il
steadying force to prevent rash specu-
lation and extravaganza based on hope
rather than cash. The commission, 1t
is hoped, will supply this 1t has the

in the Town Hall yesterday afternoon
before large audience. In old English

Guiding Brahms's Nightingale" and
Strauss's "Serenade.' Mr. Kraft gave
much artistic pleasure by his fine taste
and vocal style. His voice, of light.
lyric quality. is beautiful in the upper
registers. Not an interpreter of broader
field. in the selection Of most of his
numbers he wisely kept within the linn
its of his vocal powers. In a French
group was Massenets LIE Reve' from
"Manon." and In the Anal group the
songs "To Violet" and Song of the

assisted by furnishing the singer with

When Rev. Charles II. Suprgeon, the
great Baptist pastor of the LONDON
Tabernacle, was near death, he Is re-
ported as saying: "All my theology is
in four words Jesus died
for me-" This supper is not a me
mortal of Christ's life, but Of his
death" 1t is not said that he lived
for every man, but that "he tasted
death for every man" The innocent
lamb gave up its life to save the H.
raelite from the destroying anger, typ
flying the innocent Christ giving his
life to save the souls of men from
sin and eternal death. This memorial
IA designed to keep ever before us the
great doctrine or fact of the atone
ment which is the spiritual column OF
the Gospel. 1t is to remind us that
our only hope of salvation is through
the blood Of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Man is so prone to rely upon some
thing that he can do to be saved that
Jesus saw that 1t was necessary to
combat that idea; that something
should be kept before him to correct
his error and to hold him to the truth
Men build monuments to perpetuate
memory of their lives. The monu-
ment of Jesus-the Lords Supper-is
to perpetuate a memory of His death
The mystery of the atonement is as
great as the mystery of the incarna'
ton and just as fundamental. Io
eliminate either is to emasculate the
eospel Men have chosen brass anc
marble for their monuments because
of their durability, but Christ chose
the perishable objects OF bread ah'
wine: but while the memorials of mer
perish the memorial of Christ endures
and every year myriads are added u
the throng that renew II periodica''!
with rapturous homage.
The remembrance that Christ diet
to save us brings to the mind the rae
that all have sinned," and hare w
are reminded of the fact OF the nee
of a savior. Here again arises IN
thought chow can the atonement b
made available for u.s. Gods wor
comes to the rescue; believe on Tn
Lord Jesus Christ" From these re
Elections we gather that the LORD
Supper comprehends and teaches IN
whole plan of salvation, and the re
Elective mind may find great bless
ings by it's observance.
