Impressed by Committees
zone thing that has impressed me forcibly
during the activities to raise money to lessen the
bad effects Of unemployment has been the make
up Of the committees In charge OF the work. On
these committees were Alany heads Of great BUSH
nesseS, men of wealth and influence. Perhaps
they deserved praise for their efforts and per-
hsps they did not. That is immaterial That
which is material is that they were giving their
time and money to this purpose. few decades
ago men in their position wouldn't have done
such thing: 1t wouldn't have occurred to the
men of yesterday to do so.
"A lot Of fine things have come to us in mod
ern times which We can never give UP. In one
way or another ideas of service are behind them
Oi course we can't expect that the period Of
depression Is going to awaken every one to high
ideals OF service. We've never had that condi-
ton. But more than ever, perhaps q great pro-
portion OF us will realize that you have to put
service in whatever you doing If you want
your reward to take any aspect Of permanence
The $35-a-week clerk who got SIS q week out
OF the stock market while the boom was on may
be impressed, now, by the fact that while the S25
for which he gave no service has vanished his
$50 salary, for which he gave service-if he did
give it-remains. If he did not really give serv-
Ice, perhaps he has lost that, too. The same Is
true of those who specialized on larger scale
The net result should be that as conditions
improve we will proceed with thoughtful con-
hdence that will produce great results AS long
as we keep ideas of service uppermost. well and
good; We can't help but progress; and if an
otner time OF real recession is ever DUE perhaps
we may put off that time If the principle of true
service Is nstilled in more OF u.s."

that If France purchased supplies and
services in England the British govern
ment would furnish the pounds with
which to buy them--and vice-versa
When Great Britain bought goods and
services in France the French govern
ment would undertake to supply the
francs. AS to whether in the latter
case the francs were furnished on credit
or for cash we do not know, but in the
British case the pounds were furnished
on credit. When America entered the
war she accepted that sound principle
on all business with her allies-that IS
to say, America agreed to supply the
allies with the dollars with which all
their purchases in the U. S. A. should
be consummated, and what was more,
she agreed to lend them these dollars.
That was the origin of war debts. Yet
when America purchased supplies from
France and Britain in hundreds of mil
lions Of pounds they had to be paid for
in francs and pounds. America did not
get these francs and pounds on credit
she paid cash for them. America paid
cash for the goods and services which

the goods and services from America on

common cause. This is the explanation
why the war ended with all the nations

Now America is called a "shylock"
because she won't cancel these debts
and make the American taxpayers dis
gorge huge sums annually to pay for
the past anusements of European royal
families and national jealousies and
hatreds engendered by the war.
Doubtless when the late allies Of
America in arms completely disarm, the

In the nrst interview of this series, Thomas

periods Of drastic business recession would grow
less frequent in the future, and of shorter dura-
ton when recurring, because of better direction

depressons would cease to occur He thought

AT a later date, f1nancier of international

"Our greatest liability in times of extreme
prosperity Is the excessively optimistic individual
and our greatest liability in periods of depression
Is the unreaSoning pesSimist
our present situation is not nearly so bad as
1t has been made out to be, just as our situation
before the debacle of November, 1929, did not
1ustlfy the blind confidence which had laid hold
Of so many people"
Granted the truth of these observations, the
question arises: If our psychology before and
during our long months Of trouble has been
wrong will we not now develop a new psychol-

velopments-which growing out of the lessons
OF Christening experience, will be better psy-

TARIFF CONFEREES

Washington, April 9 P1The sen- ate house tariff conferes have effect cd a compromise on aluminium rates, under which the duty on this com modity will be less than at present, but higher than the figures approved by the senate when the democratic- independent republican coalition was in power there.
 The conference agreement would fix the rate on crude aluminium at three and one half cents a pound as compared with five cents in the pres ent law and two cents originally ap- proved by the senate.
 A duty of seven cents pound on sheet aluminium was agreed on by the conference as compared with a senate rate of three and one-half cents and the present rate of nine cents.

 These would fix the automobile duty at ten per cent instead of twenty-five at present, and the orc duty at one cent a pound on ore containing more than ten per cent of manganese.

The great power of Carthage waned with the growing strength of the Romans and in 146 E. C. it was captured by Publius Cornelius Scipion, who after murdcring most of the population, razed the city.
 Later the Romans rebuilt the city because of the commercial advan- tages of it's port. The Vandals took it from the Romans and destroyed it. and rebuilt it to have the Arabs and the Turks successively take it and pillage it.
 Today Carthage, like the remain- der of Tunisia, is under a French protectorate. It has a tender spot in the hearts of all Catholics be- cause of the great number of Chris tians who were sacrificed in the Roman amphitheatre during the first centuries of Christianity.

 This city was founded in the ninth century before Christ by the Phoenicians, who were of Semitic origin. It grew into a great center of commerce, and it's brutal armies plundered the lands of the Romans and brought thousands of captives to sacrifice to their sun gods.
 The city reached it's greatest power in the sixth century when it reached q treaty with Rome. It is reported that Hannibal in 410-B.
