Germany offered Belgium part of her
quota, in return for promises to limit
Belgian sales of certain steel products
in Germany thus opening up a new
phase in international cartel operation:
namely, trading of cartel quotas between
cartel members in different countries.
But Belgium hesitated SO long that
Germany, hit by depression, Withdrew
her offer. Germany, in fact, having a
rather low quota, has also come to a
critical test of cartel loyalty. With
home markets dropping off. she is ap-

rather disappointing, although the
blame is laid on delay in getting the

able to fix prices low enough to COM

But then, the cartel has not yet been

possible speed, where 1t can register its
effectiveness against outside COMPETE

successfully with them; but fairness de-

Famous Monastery
Is l,4OO Years Old

One of the most interesting cente-
naries to be celebrated in 1929 is that
of the famous monastery at Monte Cas-
Sino, half way between Rome and Ma
pies, which boasts of history of 400
years. The Pope, Italian government
and scholars throughout the world will
join with the Benedictine monks in the
event.
His holiness is writing letter setting
forth the religious and cultural signifi-
canoe of the venerable institution. 1t
was at Monte Casino in 529 that st.
Benedict founded the religious order
bearing his name and promulgated a
.set of rules for life dedicated to work,
study and prayer which seems to have
no precedent.
This hilltop abbey kept burning the
lamp of civilization during the stormy
middle ages. Barbarians and enemies
of the church, such as the Emperor
Frederick II, repeatedly attacked, and
in some cases destroyed, the monastery
buildings, but each time the monastery
arose from the ruins more imposing
than ever. And despite the discourage
ments of the age, scholarly monks at
Monte Casino tirelessly copied the
precious codices embodying the learning
! of the ancient world, thus preserving for
modern civilization the thoughts and
the literature of ancient Greece and
Rome.

In the number of foreign visitors
to Berlin Americans take the lead with

22,e00 and Poles with 1890. In 1927
statistics show 3720,000 overnight

Experts estimate the average daily
expenditure of a traveller in Berlin to
be $3.50 a day Thus about SIS, 100000
are deposited here yearly by foreigners
And as the greatest part is expended
for living, eating and so forth, 20 per
cent remains for other purchases
The Americans mostly buy novelties
they cannot get in America, such as
handmade wares.
Berlin does not have many special
ties. Only eau de cologne, light and

instruments and fountain pens. These
wares are new patents and are attain

TRENTON. N. J., March 9.-For-
eign born residents who openly divide
their allegiance between the United
States and their native country were
scored today by Paul V. McNutt, ma
tional commander of she American
Legion, in a luncheon address here.
He urged a more strict enforcement
OF the immigration laws so that the
foreign born can be aSsimilated and
made into responsible and responsive
citizens"
1t has become necessary. McNutt
said. to watch the immigration stu
alton more carefully so that the Nation
may progress rapidly with its problem
OF Americanizing the foreign born.
THE Legion's interest in immigra-
ton problems, he said. has been
stimulated by the activities of certain
groups of foreign born. One of these
groups is composed of individuals who
openly declare their allegiance to two
sovereigns; to the United States of
America, of which they are natural
lied citizens. and to the sovereign OF
the land from whence they came. For
generations this Nation has endured
this situation. The American Legion
believes that the time has come to
say to these people, if they are going
10 stay mere, earn IlVeNfOOQ mere,
rear a family here under the protec-
ton Of our institutions. that allegiance
to the United States of America must
be exclusive.
1.-THE other group consists of individ-
uais connected with certain continent
al societies which claim to hold Sc
cretly the allegiance of those persons
who have become American citizens by
naturalization. In that insidious fash
ion these societies have tried to build
I'D groups of naturalized citizens who
openly declare their allegiance to the
United States. but who secretly give
their allegiance to some foreign SOW
ereign.
mo man can serve two masters. No
citizen can serve two sovereigns. No
nation can suffer divided allegiance.
For those persons who secretly give
their loyalty and devotion to some
other sovereign. the American Legion
says that the gate is open and that
as far as we are concerned, we are
willing to show them the way out to
stay out forever. They do not belong
