and women, the boys and girls, who
enter hospital doors sre systematically
accorded all the support, all the SYM
pathy, all the practical Help which civil
ization is competent to give. The very
word hospital has q connotation OF
helpfulness-it signifies thes liberal and
benevolent relation which ideally exists
between host and guest. In effect, then,
the sick or injured patient is the guest
of his fellow creatures. Doctors and
nurses, social workers, even the humble
janitors and porters, toll together in his
behalf Back of them is community
philanthropy, organized and unorgan-
lied, and the constituted government
of the Nation. The best endeavors of
mankind are exerted that the battle
may be won and health retrieved.
And then, if the contest has victorious
elimination, there dawns the day when
the patient is discharged. The hospital
staff comes to say good-by and good
luck. The erstwhile invalid goes home.
Surely, it is but natural that there
should be great JOY in his heart; and it
would not be extraordinary, all things
considered, If there were deep gratitude
also and desire to justify the new
lease of life SO arduously gained. That
was Witwer's conclusion-that those
who come back from death should use
the dispensation nobly. He was rated
q humorist and may not have been
taken seriously; but in that one article,
at least, he plumbed an elemental spir-
itual truth, fundamental human
verify.

A REAL INVESTMENT
THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN. D. D. ILL., ID. d. c. L,
Bishop of Washington

has found in giving what he has Of
talent and virtue. investing them in
lives less fortunate or that need re-
Mobilization.
We are so highly organized today and
things are so finely systematized that
there is marked tendency to grow
mechanical. We need organization and
We peed system. but most of our service
is too utterly impersonal We do things
through agencies and mechanisms, valu-
able and necessary as they are, and
we rarely, If ever, touch vitally the lives
of those whom We design to help.
Last Fan in New York in attempting
to ease the strain of those who were
the victims of unemployment, a So
called block system" of administering
relief was designed. It was a distinct
departure from the methods usually
employed. It involved personal service
for persons and doubtless brought q
degree Of satisfaction to those that en-
gagged in it that was refreshing and
stimulating. In large movements we
must pool our efforts and our funds,
but If We pursue this method too far
we lose both the joy and the satisfac-
ton which come from personality ex-
pansion through self investment"
What an Incompatible example
Christ furnishes of what we have in
mind. The glory Of His ministry to
men was in its intimate contacts with
individuals, His understanding SYM
pathy and His ready response to human
needs. Wherever He heard the cry Of
q sufferer He responded. To blind
man to whom He restored sight and
who did not know, who his healer was,
He revealed Himself and in doing
so opened not only the physical eyes
of the blind man but the eyes of his
soul as well. If out of the confusions
Of our disorder life-yes, and because
OF them-we could come to recognize
more fully the profound meaning of the
words of the Master, He that loseth
his life shall find it," we should emerge
a stronger, better and happier people
than we have ever been. Precepts and
maxims have their value, but only In
50 far as they find expression IN deeds
of service The investment Of life
In the lives Of those less fortunate
yields q rate Of interest higher and
more satisfying than that which tho
worlds markets afford.

feel that nations are tired of tariff
nickering and therefore disposed to
tnresh out these problems at the con-
ference.
The complexity of tariff concessions.
practlced by many countries, has led
some observers to sound q pessinistic
note In their references to this part of
the agenda. It must be remembered
however, that the delegates realize that
restoration Of International trade along
sound and permanent lines will require
satisfactory adjustment of these diff
cult1es. just how much will be ac-
complished it Is believed will depend
upon, f1rst, the stabilization of curren-
cies and, second, the willingness of the
participating countries TO waive national
and regional advantages for the sta
bility OF international commerce.
A few weeks ago six Of the princi-
pal commercial nations of the world.
including the United States and Great
Britain, promised mutually a customs
truce pending agreements for the re-
duction OF tariffs and other obstacles
to trade, at least during the life of
the London conference. The United
States actually kept its promise. Presi-
dent Roosevelt even went to the extent
OF holding up the operation, of the
price provisions of the new farm credit
law so as not to seem to violate even
the spirit Of the agreement
The other nations, however, made
reservations. They retained the right
to complete negotiations already begun
for the conclusion of certain quota ar
rangenents and so-called buying agree
ments. Great Britain was negotiating
with Argentina, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden, fixing buying quotas, and she
contended that such compacts would
simply direct the flow Of goods over
international boundaries without the
necessity for altering tariff schedules.
To break down the trade restraints
Of many countries, particularly those
in Europe, authorities here believe 1t
will be, essential to have the undivided
and genuine cooperation of all groups
of nations as well as. individual ma
tions. For example, just few days
ago Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Yu-
to study the possibilities of develop
ing trade among them. This type Of
regional trade agreement has gained in
favor during the depression and may
be regarded as one of the outstanding
obstacles to q recovery of world trade.
Recent weeks have witnessed an ac-
cumulation of additional barriers
Much has been heard about undersell-
ing by Japanese products in foreign
markets. This has been made possible
by the deprecated value of Japanese
currency and low labor costs This
competition has become so acute a. to
arouse strong resentment In many
countries. particularly IN Great RSit-

ain. British textile interests are de-
manding immediate relief in their
markets within the empire, in which
the Japanese have already succeeded in
making serious iriroads. The new
British policy Of separate trade agree
ments indicates that that country will
not agree to discontinue recent agree
ments, and that, therefore, the confer
ence may expect the British delega-
ton to suggest that any plan for set
tlement Of world tariff problems must
be in line with these accords.
Perhaps the outstanding disadvan-
tage to which the United States has
been subject during the period of tar
iff increases and trade restrictions has
been the lack of adequate elasticity TO
cope with direct or indirect discrimi-
nations against our trade. Instead OF
being In a position to negotiate i'm
mediate adjustment Of emergency
handicaps, We have elected to follow
the policy of treating all nations alike.
As result. our foreign interests have
not received protection comparable to

tion of these accounts, rs has been

ELIMINATING THE MIDDLEMAN'
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

1t is doubtful If any single class of
business men ever has been target for
so much antagonism as middlemen.
This has seldom meant personal antag-
onism. Newspaper editorials, political
orators and reformers bent on cham
pioning the people against the high
cost of living always have inveighed
strongly against the middleman. He is
blamed for high prices, for multtpli-
cation of charges and for everything
that adds to the cost Of sustenance.
Studies made on the basis Of Census
Bureau figures suggest that modern
American merchandising has gone quite
a distance toward the elimination of
this villain of the business field. There
are two sides to the picture, to be
sure Brought face to face with a
middleman, an ultimate consumer often
is likely to be struck with his use
fulness. Indeed, it is probable that
some millions of Americans do not
precisely know what a middleman is.
On the basis Of, caricatures and the
broad loose comments made to attract
form mental picture Of some horned
and cloven-hoofed creature perpetually
scheming to rob them. Actually a
great many people are middlemen
themselves without, perhaps, being
aware of the fact.
A middleman is any man who ham
dies product at any point between
the producer and the consumer. In
the narrower sense this presupposes
that he Is one who takes direct profit
out Of the handling. A broad inter-
probation would include any handler
who obtains even an indirect return.
Thus. a fireman on a railroad engine
hauling coal or hay and pig iron is a
middle ground of handling between
producer and final user.
Volume of Direct Sales
The Bureau of the Census reports
for o recent year direct sales Of a
wide variety of goods to ultimate con-
sumers aggregating $689, BIT ,082 in
value. So much headway has been
made in eliminating the middleman
dealer that wholesalers handled only
$52l, $40, $40 worth. This means that
$168, 1877 600 more was spent for goods
which passed from producers directly
to consumers without the ordinary run
of middlemen taking their toll of profit.
In some lines the proportion of direct
sales Is far greater, direct sales even
amounting to more than twice the sales
through middlemen.
This is a development of compare
lively recent years in the American
scene and has its basis not actually
SO much in editorial and lecture plat
form attacks upon middlemen as In the
modern science Of advertising. In
earlier times hundreds of thousands OF
persons purchased goods without hav-
ing the slightest idea who had manu-
factured or grown, them. This was
particularly true Of agricultural prod
ucts and remains so to this day to a
greater extent than in the field of
manufactured goods.
Now, however, there are great many
branded and trade-marked farm prod
ucts. The great co-operatives have in
troduced this system, spending millions
OF dollars on newspaper and magazine
advertising telling the consuming public

sisted correction in times when govern
ment and industry united to regiment
their more honorable brethren. With
impudence unimpaired they entered the

statesmen are determined that nothing
shall be wasted on those who make a
mock of authentic distress. The bak-
sheesh nuisance has been outlawed.
OF course, the reform has its mega
tive side. For example, what shall
travelling Americans snapshot in the
begears' stead? The pyramids, the
obelisks. the ancient temples still re-
main, but they never have been con-
sidered anything like so picturesque as
the impertinent raggamufins with out
stretched handS. And of what shall
returning Americans talk If the strident
petitioners til Lave been educated to

He that loeeth his life shall find 1t. /"
These cryptic words we're spoken by
the great Master. On first eonsidera-
ton they seem paradoxical. but when
considered in their larger meaning they
prove to be automatic. They remind
us of those strange words of another,
who said: What I kept lost; what
gave away I saved He was evi-
IDENTIFY speaking not so much in terms
of material values as in terms of serv-
ice. He was looking at life as an in
vestment. an investment that, properly
and conscientiously made, yielded in
evitably substantial return.
We think of philanthropy or benefi-
cent service Of any kind largely in
is philanthropist and worthy of high
praise who gives out of his abundance
to some humane and well conceived
agency; 1t may be a hospital, school,
or a home for orphaned children. We
do not think of those who serve-the
nurses in the ward, the teachers in the
class room or those who administer to
the needs OF little ones-as being in
any sense worthy Of the distinction of
"philanthropists. Rightly considered
their service stands on a higher level
than that of the great benefactor. The
work that Lady Nightingale did in the
dark days of the Crimea was of such
distinction that q grateful nation re-
members her as among the foremost
benefactors of her time. What she did
was to invest her life. literally losing
it IN the needs and suffefings Of others.
and in doing so she saved 1t and gave
1t place among the most honored and
distinguished of her age.
We recall the line of great poet In
which he said that "the gift without
the giver Is bare" We are talking
much today about investments of one
kind and another, and the terms we
use have to do largely. if not wholly.
with certain recognized standards of
value. Little is being said concerning
those finer values that find their truest
and loftiest expression in deeds of self
sacrificing service A modern writer
speaks Of personality expansion
through self-investment In the philan-
thropic rehabilitation Of other peoples
lives" Making more evident what he
means, he speaks of the satisfaction he
