CITING PRECEDENTS

The expected has come. When the
ruling was made by treasury officials
that foreign nations could not come
into this country's ports carrying
even bonded liquor, obeying their own
laws, reference was made in these
columns to the note of Daniel Webster
then secretary of state, in which he
insisted that American ships in any
port should be considered American
territory. Reference was made to vari-
GUS authoritative statements that in
ternational comfy and usage required
taking cognizance Of the laws of other
nations in certain cases. 1t was not
disputed that this country had the
strict legal right to forbid the entry
into our ports Of ships carrying liquor,
since that is against our law. But the
wisdom OF disregnrding Iong-estab-
lishkd precedent and usage and turn
ing TO such strict Interpretation and
enforcement Of the ruling, was aues-
toned.
Now comes the citing. by a foreign
Of such precedent. = the

illogical to figure that greater free
dom Of thought in things spiritual is
not contrary to the Divine will. II we
are working out our practical saliva
ton, certainly 1t would seem that we
should be working out our spiritual
salvation.
But whatever way we answer the
question: rs the world better" 1t is
certain we can not go back to the old
ways in. practical matters. We have
learned; we insist upon using our
brains that were given us to use. We
have kept the useful In practical mat
ters and discarded the useless. Why
should We not use our brains in mat
tiers spiritual and keep the things that
have proven themselves to be good
under the greater light of learnings
and why should we not discard the
ignorance, the narrowness of the past
that seems so dark In this new light
we have. The world is better.

HARDWARE OUTLOOK

Probably the Hardware Age weekly
market summary will be of especial
interest to employers and employees of
this city, for, generally speaking, as
the business prospects of the employ
err are good. so are the prospects of
the worker good. This weekly sum-
mary emphasizes the confidence in the
immediate future of the hardware
market. Wholesale dealers are pre-
dieting a large fall business, which
means, of course, work for all.
1t is predicted that if the S-hour
day replaces the 12-hour day, as
promised in the steel Industry. there
will come an advance in steel prices
which will be reflected in the raw
material markets and which may in
crease temporarily the cost of pro-
duction.
On this matter of the abandonment
of the 12-hour day, notwithstanding
the encouraging words of Mr. Gary,
one may feel that it will be some time
before the step will be taken. One
would like to feel that the deepest
sincerity marked the promises, which
of course, have been qualified by plac-
ing the time of the change at that
period when it will be possible to
obtain the $4,000 additional workmen
necessary. The 12-hour day abandon
ment has been fought for for long
time. 1t has not come. First one ex-
cuse and then another has been Of
fered. 1t must come eventually, but
there is little ground to believe that
It will come before the Large fall bus
mess" has been attended to.
New Britain herald., 1923-08-02

House of Commons 1t was asked
whether In connection with the refusal
of the United States to allow liquor
to remain under seal in British ships
In American ports, the attention of
this government had been called to a
dispatch forwarded by the American
government some years ago to the
Spanish government which, while adj
hitting the legal right of every ma
ton to prescribe the conditions under
which foreign vessels should be adj
mitted to their ports, laid it down that
these conditions must not conflict with
established usages. 1t was said fur
Their that this dispatch was quoted as
International law, and 1t was advised,
in the House of Commons, that the
matter should be called to the atten-
ton of the American government.
