LOW INTEREST TO AID
IN BUSINESS ADVANCE
Commodity Price Situation Hard
est to Gauge in Outlook,
Says Economist.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The pre-
vailing low interest rates will stimulate
general business activity, in the opinion
Of Gage P. Wright, New York economist
and president of the Business Economic
Digest, who believes that substantial
foundation is now being laid for an
important recovery in business.
Reduced money rates are always
constructive factor for business. Pre-
vailing rates, therefore, are conducive
to the pushing forward of projects in
volving the purchase of materials and
use of labor. thus stimulating business
activity" says Mr.. Wright, who also
points out:
"This is the season when the charac-
teristics Of Spring revival should make
themselves felt in an increasing degree.
Especially should the construction pro-
gram of this country, estimated at
81 ,000, 600, 900 or more for this year, be
accelerated, resulting in considerably di-
minished unemployment and conse-
uuentIy increased consumer purchasing
power Retail trade, automobile buying
and farm work are other lines tending
toward seasonal expansion. although the
full extent of their course Immediately
ahead Is somewhat less apparent than
it was at the corresponding time last
year.
Variation in authoritative opinion
exists as to the outlook for business as
a result of the decline in commodity
prices. One line of deduction is that
business prospects have been decidedly
weakened, and that therefore defin-
mite. substantial rebound in business as
a whole has been set farther ahead than
otherwise would be the case had no
protracted price recession in basic COM
modities occurred. The conclusion from
this viewpoint, of course, is that the in

St. PauIs Without the WaHs-Rome

THE tribute of st. Paul's is OF spe-
cial interest, as it is occupied by
the Pope himself when he visits this
church, which is one Of the basilicas
representing the five great patriarchates
into which the Christian world was d.
vided before the falling away of the
churches of the Greek rite. In each
of these patriarchal baSilicas the Pope
Is accustomed to pontificate on its
patronal feast, as If it were his own
particular cathedral, as q sign of his
supremacy over all the churches of the
world, in the East as well as the West.
The BaSilica of st. Paul represents the
church of Alexandria; that of st. Mary
the Greater (Sta. Maria Maggiore) the
church of Antioch; st. Lawrence with
out the Walls-the church OF Jeru-
salem, and st. Peter of the Vatican
the church of Constantinople, Just as
st. John Lateran, the true cathedral
church of Rome represents the Pa
triarchate Of the West. Every visitor
to Rome seems to take home with him
the special memory. Of this basilica,
and nothing Is more frequent than to
hear illusions to 1t by travellers who
linger as lovingly over 1t as they are
supposed to linger over the famous
fountain of Trevi.
Most of the architectural details in
the tribune of st. Paui's Basilica date
back only to the second quarter Of the
present century, when the edifice was
