Secretary of War at a time when
cur dealings with Cuba and the
Philippines required the constant ap-
rlication of the broadest principles
cf international law. Only a great
lawyer could have presided success
fully over the War Department at
that period. AS Secretary OF State
he enjoyed even wider opportunities
for the consideration and determine
tion of international questions. He
has represented the United States in
its most important international liti-
cations; and his extensive travels
have made 1im acquainted with the
people and the prejudices OF many
countries and their capitals. These
advantages, added to his practical
sagacity, will make his quiet voice
power at the council table of the
conference and do much TO make its
deliberations fruitful in effect. He
will be the right man in the right
place.

Unitarian Laymen Are Told That the Cody Mar

mine, the task of every one who would
live godly in this present world
There is no problem so intricate, no
situation so involved. no evil SO deep
rooted but that consecrated lives can
conquer II.
Fright there Is the weakness OF the
church, of organized religion. The IN
Huence of the church is weak because
the consecrated lives within Its walls
are few That was the strength OF
early Christianity. It's power lay not
In it's logic, it's theology or Its apollo
getics, but in the beauty of its holiness,
the attraction OF its piety. the evidences
Of it's faith in the lives of Its adherents.
People outside the Christian Church
In those first days looked at Christians
and saw that they made better servants
and masters, better husbands and wives
better parents and children, that they
were more trustworthy and faithful In
all human relationships.
"Their faith implied these results
so must ours What do We more than
others?' That is still the Masters aues-
ton. 1T is q call to you and me--a cali
to make our life religious to make our
religion life. What this world needs Is
the consecrated life. and what the con-
secrated life needs is just such an op-
portunity as this world offers II"

Tower and Tourist.

or all the sights OF this wonder
city none evokes more frank pleas
ure in the beholder than the Wool
worth tower. From the type of tour
ist who patronizes the sightseeing
omnibuses to our most august civic
visitors, one and all are moved to the
same emotions by the first sight of
CAss GILBERT's monumental and
graceful pile. To catch a passing
glimpse of these tourists eyes and
faces is always to note the same ef-
fects: either kind Of hushed awe,
as il the tower was too wonderful to
be true; or sheer happiness that it
was true.
Immigrant and prince both succumb
TO this superbly graceful structure,
the triumph of American engineer
ing and architectural skill. When
Marshal JorFRE rode up Broadway
he forgot the hurrahing and adoring
crowds to throw himself back in his
automobile to gaze up at the tower.
When the Prince of WALES followed
the same route, standing up in his
motor car he saluted the crowd with
hand to visor, but his eyes went sky
ward to follow those heaven reach
ing stories. His must be dull soul
who does not take part of this
pleasure along with the tourists and
feel the tonic OF their happiness.

The State conventions Of both the

Russia's Trade Debacle.

Russia's misfortunes under Boil
shevism are recorded nowhere more
graphically than in the last few
years OF her commerce with the
United States. In 1918. our total
trade with Russia was S51, ,2S6,777,
almost equally divided between i'm
ports and exports. In those days
there was no exchange trouble. Rus
sia skipped TO us as much as she
purchased from US and the ruble was
worth its full face value in American
gold.
In 1920, according to a survey by
the research division of the Depart
ment of Commerce. our trade with
Russia, including the Baltic States
but excluding Poland and Finland,
was S41,20S,o00. But OF this amount
S2S,72T7is was in goods sent from
the United States aud only S12.4s0,.
$50 was in goods received from Rus.
sia. Even this surplus OF imports py
Russia would not account for the
great decline in the price OF Rus
sian money which now brings only
one-fifth of cent for 500 rubles, as
against a normal value of 5i1a cents
each.
The real reason for the Russian
money decline, as the survey shows,
Is that SO far as Soviet Russia il
concerned there were practically no
exports whatever. although there
we're large imports OF American
goods by way of the border States.
Russia's great trade debacle was.
until last year, ascribed to the block.
EIDE maintained against her by tho
Allies. But in July the blockade was
raised, and In December, 1920, all re.
strictions were lifted. IL the block
ade actually had been the reason for
the dwindling OF trade with Russia
the removal Of restrictions should
have been folloyed by a revival.
! Nothing Of the kind has occurred.

The Air Service.
General Menoher's Resignation and
Plans for Future Development.

To THE New YonR HERALD: What is
the matter with the Air Service? Why
does its chief tender his resignation?
Is it because the task is too difficult?
Is 1t because he feels that he is an in
develop air matters? Is It because he
wants TO get command of a corps area
Or Is It because his task Is through and
he is turning it over now to somebody
who actually takes the air and studies
the problems connected with the three
dimensions of space? These are ques-
tions on the lips Of all thinking citizens
as they watch the development of O..
mir power as compared with th1. ot
other nations.
believe the last reason to l. the true
explanation. Every air officer in any air
service In any country at any time wants
an actual hier TO command. Fliers exist
In fraternity all their own. Two hun
dred Of them in the army have died in
two years flying In fast war planes Is
1t any wonder that they stick together
and are unanimous in their desire for a
chief who will actually take the air and
fight with them?
General Menoher's career has been In
the infantry; he won his spurs in com
mand of the Rainbow division in France
Why should he want to turn to a new
field now? He has given the benefit OF
his administrative ability to rcorganiz-
ing the Air Service, putting 1T on a
peace basis and setting things in order
co aaI
SO ahead with the development Of our
air power and aerial resources.
The Air Service during his regime,
under the able assistance of the flying
general assistant. has demonstrated to
the world that INT when exploded In
the water alongside heavy steel battle
ships can send them to Davy Jones's 8
locker. National defence systems have
been shA. cred with the sinking of the
Ostfriesland Off the Virginia capes.
New systems OF national defence must
be built up: new tactics of combined
land, sea and air defences must be
evolved, working in unison, not In dis
cord. The cost of national defence with
simulance OF disarmament must bt
cut down so that our pockets will MOI
suffer so much. Air power is going u
do 1t. Delegates are coming to the con-
vention and bringing along with then
fliers who know the new fighting power
and will diclser accordingly. All be-
cause General Menoher and his service
persuaded the navy to let the army all
service participate In the bombing ex-
periments.
Several important air experiments arc
being carried on In the Air Service, ac-
cording TO best advices. Possibly the new
chief viii let us know what they are and
what he proposes to do with them, Sc
that we can stop wasteful expenditure
OF the peoples money and set down tc

Efficiency Methods in Crime.

stores on Saturday nights after the
honest citizen has exchanged his
money for his week end weed.
They rob the mems hat stores on

slaves of hat fashion.
Burglary and robbery are becom.

followers evidently have added the
