BRIGHTER RETAIL
OUTLOOK IS Seen
Recovery Will Be Gradual But
Firm, Says Statement Of
National Association.

Better conditions in the retail
trade loom up this year with the
expectation that recovery will be
gradual. but firm, according to a
statement issued by the National
Retail Dry Goods Association. The
statement says:
THE prospect in retail trade for
1922. as defined by representative
members of the NATIONAL Retail Dry
Goods Association doing business in
the larger cities of the United
States and in many OF the smaller
centers, is for a twelve-month
somewhat better, on the whole,
than 1921. Recovery promises to be
gradual with very large sales
volume expected from the early fall
until the close of the year.
This auspicious outlook Is not
held. however. Throughout the
South. where the uncertain future
Of cotton creates extreme conser-
vatism. while the Southwest hopes
for a prosperous year only through
large crops or higher crop prices.
practically all agree In anticipat-
ing more stable business conditions,
with prices little changed. Retail
merchants have taken. during 1921
the smallest net profits on which
they can do business. Any decline
in prices must originate with manu-
facturer, whose reductions the re-
taller can pass on to the consumer.
The opinion is that the other fac
tor capable of bringing about re-
duction of commodity prices 10

DECLARES FIRST
AMERICANS NOT .
BRITISH EXILES
Princeton Authority An
swers DR.. Guilday's Ref
erence to Pauperdom.

To the Editor. The washinsten Herald: ii
wish to protest against an ar
tic1e appearing in a recent issue OF
your paper tby DIR. Peter Gullday
professor OF history At the catholic
University of America, In which the
following statements appear:
The grave problem which
faced this Scottish King Of
England flames u was how to
rid England Of Its poor. In the
time of Henry VIII some "a
900 beggars were hanged as
thieves and vagabonds. and In
the reign of his daughter. Eliz-
abeth, the galiows ate up an
nually 400 more. James mer-
rily carried on the policy Of
exterminating this "vermin or
society" until a new means of
ridding England OF this class
was proposed. This was the
celebrated plantation project.
Virginia In 1907. Plymouth In
1920. Salem in 1929 and Boston
in 1880 were planted by the
English crown with those who
saw a chance for freedom from
the CALLING poverty and serf-
dom at home.
Statement Held Unwarranted.
THESE sentences are full OF mis-.
leading statements. It Is not true
that the British crown established
colonies in America primarily as an
outlet for her poor. The Virginia
Company itself stated that 1t was
actuated by a desire to extend
British trade, TO secure needed raw
materials, to check the power OF
the King of Spain and to spread the
Christian religion.
That English industry was de-
clining at the time and that unem-
ployment and distress were com.
mon Is we'll known, but to infer
that James I sought to establish
colonies as "a new means OF rid,
ding England of this class Is ab.
solutely unwarranted. ...
: In view of the almost universal
knowledge of every phase of the
settlement at Plymouth. a reference
to the Pilgrim Fathers as ''vermir
of society" is surprising to say the
least
It Is true that historians have
often failed to recognize the i'm.
portant part played by economic

said there can be no doubt that the
causes OF this movement were
chiefly religious.
Aim Of Puritan Fathers.
The stern Puritan Fathers came
to America to establish their King.
dom of God on earth. not to escape
starvation or the Eallows.
The men and women who plant.
ed the seed of this great republic
whether in Virginia or New Eng
land. who carried with them across
the Atlantic the priceless heritage
OF Anglo-Saxon freedom. who
struggled against the savages
against cold and hunger and dis
ease. were not vagabonds and
thieves. They were sturdy. brave
liberty-loving. God fearing per
sons. worthy OF all the pride and
gratitude which Americans bestow
upon them.
