The activities of the new adminlStra-
ton have been so breath-taking since
its induction three months ago, its in
novations in policy SO spectacular, the
dawn of the new era has come up with
such thunder that more subtle changes
are taking place unnoticed. Yet to us,
brought up upon the stern Puritan doc
trine that it is the little things in life
that count, they are OF intense
significance.
The beneficial effect upon the coun-
try of the big activities-for the most
part in the promise rather than per-
formance stages certainly a trium-
phant demonstration of mind over
matter. But the little things-the
straws that show which way the wind

Four-POwer Pact Points
To Revision of Treaty
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

PARIS. June 3-With Frances &C
ceptance this week of the Four-Power
Pact. revision of the Versailles, Trianon
and St. Germain treaties is on the way,
though it will take many years If the
nations abide by the agreement to pro-
ceed through the machinery of the
League of Nations These are the
treaties which romade the map Of
Europe after the World War.
Talks on the subject of treaty re-
vi-ion hcve been held during the last
10 days bstwen heads of various dele
cations at Geneva. One of the most
active participants in these conversa-
tions has been Joseph Paul-Boncour,
French foreign minister.
Paul-Boncour takes a view diametri-
cally opposed to the French policy Of the
past l3 years. He believes that con-
siderable revision of the treaties, even
in their territorial clauses, Is necessary.
At the same time he insists that
such revision must come about by gen.
eral agreement and not as the conse-
quence of military action or threats. He
?greed to the Mussolini Four Power
Pact, idea proVi|ed il was understood
i'll advance that the four powers,
France. Italy, Eng'and and Germany,
undertake to uphold articles 10 and 16
Of the Lacgue covenant. as well as the
much-Giscussed article 10, which pro-
Vides a mechanism for revision Of the
treaties.
Article 10 guarantees the territorial
integrity of member nations, while arti-
Gle l6 provides sanctions" for VIOLA
ton of the treaties
Paul-Boncour'S reasoning is that be-
fore any revision can be considered it
must be agreed that the treaties are in
violable There is no use, he argues,
revising treaties unless the treaties are
binding.
Mussolini, in his original pact pro-
posal, mentioned only article 10. In his
view the four powers were to agree
among themselves on territorial revi-
sions, and their decisions would be
forced upon the smaller powers, such
as Poland and the members of the
Little Entente.
Paul-Boncour pointed out the dangers
of such procedure. insisting that there
must be no territorial revision with
out general consent.
1t is not easy to see how the consent
of the smaller nations is going to be
obtained, when it comes to a question
of amputating some of their territory.
But the French foreign minister appar-
emily has his ideas of how the thing
may be accomplished. With this end IN

Kent nv the mower of God"

These words we're written by one who
had enjoyed close fellowship with the
Master. His life had been marked by
boldness and impetuosity. At times he
had disclosed rare courage in defense OF
his new found Master. Again he had
lapsed into cowardice and apostacy Out
OF these lapses he had returned WITH
devotion and increasing loyalty TO ms
Great Leader and in the early days OF
the Christian church he played role
that was commanding and that was to
leave its permanent influence upon the
life of the church in all the succeeding
centuries
When he speaks of being kept by
the power of God through faith" he
is expressing a conviction that was the
determining factor in his life. Under
any and all conditions, in the face OF
trials and difficulties that beSet him he
believed that there was power not OF
himself that protected and guided him
in every event of his life. Again he
declares that the trial of faith being
more precious than Of gold that perish
eth, though dt be tried by fire" is an
essential experience through which
every christian believer must pass and
out of which he is to emerge the strong
er and the better. Again he speaks OF
the end of faith being ultimately the
salvation of our souls.
Herein lies a deep philosophy OF life
To this man, he lived his life with the
consciousness that he was kept by the
power of God" success and failure, ful-
filled expectations and disappointed
hopes had a part in the scheme by
which all the things of Christian char
acter were attained. 1t is the expressed
belief CT one who recognized in the out
working Of life's plan the directing and
controlling hand of God. To his mind
chance played no part in the develop
ment of his career To many such a
philosophy of life may seem chimerical
and impractical, but what have they to
offer in its stead? 1t is reasonable to
suppose that every reflective person at
some time in his or her life forms some
conception of its purpose, design and
ultimate destiny. 1t does not seem prob
able that any proper survey OF life can
conceive of it as being governed solely
by fortuitous circumstances. No matter
how plans and purposes may miscarry
Or disappointmentS come, serious ref1ec-
ton leads inevitably to the conclusion

Ryan of Catholic University. Frank T.
Hogan of the District Of Columbia bar
and others Of corresponding eminence

conclude the conferences deliberations
there will be speeches by several of
the personages just named which will
breathe the spirit of unqualified repug-
nance which the Nazi anti-Jewish pro-
gram arouses among all sections of the
American people. These rightly look
upon current events in Germany not as
affecting purely the invaded rights of
the Jewish community there, but as
trampling upon the human rights of
people of all faiths everywhere In
defense Of such rights, inherent in the
bone and sinew Of the American
Declaration of Independence. the citi-
zens and Government of the United
States on more than one occasion have
expressed themselves in unequivocal
terms. Tomorrow's conference at Wash
ington but pursues the same purpose
for which Uncle Sam has spoken out
before.
The Hitler government will be very
much mistaken If it looks upon these
iItC -,
protest" 1t is immeasurably more than
that. 1t is thoroughly American pro-
test. Even a formal demonstration
against the Federal Government could
hardly carry more genuine force.
Well remembered in this country is
the celebrated appeal petition by
ninety-five German scholars of d STING
ton during the days of our World War
neutrality addressed to intellectual
leaders in the United States and be-
speaking calm judgment here before
we rushed to the conclusion that Ger
many alone bore responsibility for the
war. Adolf Hitler was not Ger
man then, but it is not amiss to
remind him that the American men
and women Of culture, now address
ing themselves to Germany, are mott
waited by the same impulses of human
ity and fair play which Adolf Harnack,
Gerhardt Hauptmann, Hans Delbrueck
and Adolf Wagner invoked in 1915,
when they sought the support of
thoughtful Americans.
The people in the United States are
trying their best at this time not to
involve the whole German nation in
their condemnation of policy for
which they hold only the temporary
wielders of power at Berlin responsible
They continue to wish the German peo-
pie well and desire to remain their
friends. Confidence abides in America
that sooner or later the Germans them
selves will insist upon a square deal
for great race. which has played
noble part in the upbuilding of mod
ern Germany in every field of human
endeavor, without exception.

view he has had numerous talks with
Little Entente and Polish delegates.
Some observers are of the opinion
that the four power CLUB" may be able
to find way around the obstacle. In
this connection it is noted that the
BRAND plan for European union has
been gaining headway recently. The
lowering or removal of tariff barriers
and various frontier annoyances be-
tween the nations of Central and East
ern Europe would go long way toward
reducing some of the territorial prob
lens to smaller proportions and thus
render a solution more readily OBJ
tainable.

indicated in certain utterances by repre-
sentatives of the main producing inter-
estS in America" The report character
ICES the plan offered by these American
producing interests as entirely one
sided" 1t is the policy of the Indian
government to continue to sell silver
without creating undue disturbance in
the market for that metal"
In Canada there is noted a tendency
to increase the use of silver but not
substantially, and without the enact
ment Of new legislation.
After British India. China Is the
country of most interest where silver Is
concerned China's currency system is
rather complicated, and it must not be
forgotten that copper coinage bulks
rather large in that country Although
several years ago the Kemmerer COM
mission recommended that China adopt
the gold standard, not much hes so far
been accomplished in this direction.
In Europe there seems to be no i'm
portant developments in the direction
Of extending the use of silver. In
France there is noted a tendency to
favor the larger use of nickel in sub
sidiary coins. In Germany a recent
amendment to the currency law per-
mits the increased use of silver for
coins of smaller values. In Italy there
exists mo sentiment for silver" while
in Soviet Russia it is unlikely that
more silver money will be issued in the
near future"
In Japan the authorities are ZAP
parently content to limit the use of
silver to subsidiary coinage" In Mex
leo and most of the other Latin Amer
ican countries there is legislation which
would permit an increase of silver cir
culation but there is observable no
trend toward such greater use in the
near future. This applies also to the
Philippines. Hongkong is cited as the
only place in which there is actually
free coinage of silver, where it Is un-
limited legal tender, and where there
is ready interchangeability with other
currencies and full freedom to import
and export silver.

Cities Proposed. cities thus con-
politically as well as physically united.
The Star of May 20, 1883, says:
In view of the closer relations b.
tween New York and Brooklyn, II not
their ultimate municipal as well q
business union, likely to be brought
about by the opening Of the new bE1dge,
the fitness of a common name for the
two cities seems to be widely conceded
and not few have already been GuRs
gested. The Mail and Express serious1y
urges the name Manhattan as q general
title fer both cities and their suburbs
lying within the State of New York and
that the present name Of each be abol-
ished except for purposes OF local dis
tinction. Another paper. in o spirit Of
levity perhaps rather than with any
nope that it will be adopted, suggests
'Yorklyn.' This is not so bad, odd as it
may look and sound at first, since, while
it is in sense original, 1t retains some
thing of both the old names and It
would soon grow euphonioas with use.
1T is not likely that the idea win be
carried cut, but it Is really more feasible
than at first thought might be sup
posed. The name of Williamsburg was
lost in short time in that of Brooklyn,
and the general name of Philadelphia
soon wiped out those of the several
boroughs which 1t absorbed while ago,
just as that of Londcn now puts out OF
view those of Islington, Kensington,
Lambeth and other suburbs, containing
a population of nearly quarter of mil
lion each. A second hand name like that
of New York is really no proper title for
so great city as that which now bears
it, but whether any other would be
worth the trouble required to get it is
another matter"
So vast a crowd used the new

May 81, 1883, says:
THE loss of life on the Brooklyn
Bridge yesterday seems to be due as
much to faulty arrangement of the
passageways for pedestrians as to the
wild panic of the crowd The cries of q
woman WHO naC SllppeQ on the steps
alarmed the immense throngs who had
taken advantage of a holiday to visit
and inspect the bridge. The woman's
shrieks fer help attracted two vast tides
of human beings to the same point and
the result was the strongest crushed the
weakest; the cries of distress from those
being trampled down added to the gen.
eral fear, and the panic-stricken multi
tude became struggling, fighting mass,
every one striving for personal safeay
without regard for others. 1t looks like
gross negligence on the part of the
bridge authorities that they did not
anticipate the possibility of such q
and prevent 1t by providing
passageways for pedestrians
moving in opposite directions. It Is also
evident that the entrances to the bridge.
on the New York side, need to
be greatly enlarged u afford room for

Concern Over Silver
Only in This Country
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

The proposed use of silver as part
of the currency system is apparently a
live topic only in the United States at
the present time, according to a world
survey just completed by the Depart
ment of Commerce
Scarcely any of the foreign countries
are contemplating new legislation that
would affect the monetary use of silver
Most of them are not bound by existing
law to restrict the amount of silver coin
which the government may issue. While
in some countries, as in Rumania and
the Dutch East Indies, the peasants
seem to prefer silver coins, which, they
think, can be hcarded more easily than
paper, there is actually discernible in
scme other countries a trend toward
decreasing the amount Of silver in circu-
lation This is noted, for example, in
the various component parts Of the
British Empire, including such a ira
ditionally silver using area as India.
As to the United Kingdom itself, the
Commerce Departments report states
that no legislation involving silver COIN
age is contemplated in London and a
change in the existing law could be
expected "only in the event of an in
crease in the price of silver or a depre-
citation of British exchange sufficient to
make profitable the melting Of the silver
coins" While in some private circles
there has been some agitation for the
reconciliation of silver, the British
government has given no indication of
favoring the increased use of silver as
currency.
Because of the Importance of India in
the silver market it is interesting to
recall the fact that as far back as 1926
a royal commission recommended the
adoption of the gold bullion standard
for that country. A rcent report of the

whole scheme for abolishing military
aviation would break down.
