Recognition of Soviet
Gains More Champions
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Recognition of Soviet Russia Is more
and more insistently urged by power
full business interests. Its champions
this week were pointing to a poll taken
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations and the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs which Is said to have
shown that some rs per cent of the
members of the two committees were
in favor Of recognition.
Notwithstanding the progress claimed
to have been made in Congress, how
opposed to any such action until the
Russians comply with the conditions
stated by the Secretary Of State under
President Wilson, cambridge Colby,
and approved by three succeeding
Presidents but not yet accepted by the
Russians. These include the acknowl-
edgement OF Russia's obligations to this
country, the restoration of, or COM
pensation for, American property con-
fiscated during and since the revolu-
ton and an end to Communist propa-
ganda in the United States. President
elect Roosevelt has not yet declared
himself definitely in the matter, but
has announced that he Is very much
interested and is studying the question.
The largest factors in the problem Of
course are political, social and, one
might say, such Is would affect our
constitutional future. Aside from these.
there are purely business reasons which
are given for and against recognition.
In congressional circles and among
business leaders sharply differing opin-
ions are. expressed.

Whenever word comes of trouble in

memory of the cataclysmic conse-

The Christmas Spirit
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN. D. D, IL. D,
Bishop OF Washington.

These we may not buy In the worlds
markets; they are not related to any
kind Of material values. We might be
overwhelmed with material gifts and
yet have nothing Of the true Christmas
spirit. Christmas Is not a pagan festi-
val, it Is Christian. 1t is not car
nival, a noisy, riotous holiday; 1t is,
none the less. a day Of happiness and
good cheer. Let us be merry in spite of
lingering shadows, let us be as generous
as restricted purses and shortened in
comes permit, but let us make up for
these limitations by finer expression
of those ideals that mean a happier.

pei us to reflect more seriously upon
the real purpose and design of this day.
If we can be a bit more kindly in all
our relations, a bit more sunny In dis
position, a bit more generous In our
judgments Of human foibles and weak
nesses, we shall be hewing closer to
what this gladsome season stands for
than were we ladened with gifts and
made cold and Indifferent by pros
perity.
One thing is certain this Christmas
day, namely. the whole world is des-
perately in need Of that for which the
Christmas spirit stands. There is moth
ing we need more. Every one may con-
tribute to it, and 1t does not require
gifts or an accumulation of material
things. The Son of God, Graded In
the manger Of Bethlehem, brings once
again to our distracted. disillusioned
world the expression Of the Eternal
Fathers love for all mankind: it Is a
love that reaches out to men the world
over, a love that is designed to make
the rough places smooth and the
crooked paths straight; . love that must
reconcile and resolve differences and
disputes and usher in quiet and peace.
Then let us seek to make this Christ
mas day what 1t was intended to be
SO merrie. blessed Christmas to all
God bless us every one"
THE world has grown old with its
burden OF care,
But at Christmas it always is young,
And the heart Of the jewel burns lus-
trous and fair
And its soul full Of music breaks forth
on the air,
When the song OF the angels Is sung"

Use of the Folger Library.

Two years ago, when the building
still was unfinished, James Truslow
Adams, writing in the Yale Review, re-
ferred to the Folger Shakespeare
Library as SLOWLY rising to house the
greatest collection of Shakespeareana
in the world" but expressed the opinion
that Shakespeare is on no ones tongue
and Walter Hampden played Hamlet
TO a half empty house" The implica-
ton was that the Folger Library repre-
sented q waste of money, energy and
thought. Now that the building has
been completed and portion Of the
celebrated collection Is displayed. 1t

Is far more anxious over late develop
ments than Belgrade. A few weeks
ago Yugoslavian elements which have
been fomenting the anti-Italian agi-
tation defaced some ancient monu-
ments and symbols which seem still to
possess deep sentimental interest for
Italy, though no longer situated on
her soil. There were angry outbursts In
the Italian press against such affronts
to Italian pride" and honor" even
Premier Mussolini joining, as he would
in the protests. What Rome, accord
ing to the news dispatches, now fears
is that in Yugoslavia. where the politi-
cal situation is delicate, the Serbian
rulers may play upon popular anti
italian feeling to such an extent as
to lose control or get into such a pre-
dicament that they might think it
worth while, for domestic political pur-
poses, to foment serious trouble out
side the country.
Italy and YugOSlavia glare at each
other across the Adriatic with none too
friendly eyes. Italy will never feel
quite secure while a country she re-
CARDS hostile holds the opposite shore
of that sea (Dalmatia) with harborS
that could be turned into perfect SUBJ
marine bases while Italy has a smooth,
shallow coastline from Venice to Brin-
dist. Yugoslavia, on the other hand,
cannot sleep peacefully at night as
long as adjacent Albania remains SO
friendly to Italy.
Italian susceptibilities as to Yugo-
slavia are intensified by that Balkan

France. Even now the Italian press Is
buzzing with charges that the French
are deliberately stirring up the present
trouble in Yugoslavia. France Is not
accused of direct responsibility for STIR
ring up the Yugoslavisns, whose bitter
ness against Italy is rooted in the ages,
but the Paris government is chided for
not putting an end at Belgrade, as
Rome evidently thinks it could, to
policy of pinpricks which conjure up

BY the standards Of measurement we
commonly use. we appraise the worth
of a season or of an experience by
are exalted or depressed by the Incl
dents that befall us daily. In many
respects we never outgrow the philoso-
ply of our childhood. 1t Is philosophy
where sorrow or pleasure are affected
largely by environing circumstances.
We play with different kinds OF toys as
we grow older and many Of them we
could dispense with without seriously
affecting the even tenor of our way.
We have come to associate Christmas
with and to register its happiness by
what we receive of material gifts. We
do not doubt that even the smallest re-
membranes sent by friends have dis
tinct value. card with a thoughtful
wish, has its own value. All this we
readily and gladly recognize, but the
Christmas spirit, the deep significance
of the day, has to do with far more
important things Primarily and es-
the gift to mankind OF the life OF Him
whoee coming changed the course of
human history. Every child born into
the world is new miracle, the unfold
ing of new life, but to the birth OF
the Christ Child, born in Bethlehem,
we trace changes in human thinking
and practice that render it the greatest
miracle of time.
This Christmas finds the world less
merry than In other days. A shadow
has been upon it, largely because mate
rial values have dropped, and there is
more of restraint and enforced econ
omy. Does this mean that the Christ
mas spirit has suddenly been lost to
us? We do not believe It, This spirit.
which is unique, cannot be suspended
by lowered values and restricted in
comes. Giving and receiving gifts. all
this may be less widely and generously
observed. but II the real spirit of
Christmas is abroad we shall not be
disappointed. What is this spirit of
which we speak? 1t is the deepened
sense Of comradeship expressed in terms
of good will, q friendly feelings for
friends and neighbors, of a finer en-
deayor to make the world a happier
cheerier place in which to live. Yes, it
is a truer and more earnest determina-
tion to usher in the day Of world peace.
