Commercial Policy.

The latest Government agency set up
by the President is the Executive Com
mercial Policy Committee. This COM
mittee, according to an announcement
from the State Department, has been
organized to coordinate the commercial
policy Of the United States with a view
to centralizing in the hands of one
agency supervision of all Government
action affecting our import and export
trade. Included in the membership Of
the Commercial Policy Committee are
representatives Of the various depart
ments, agencies and commissions of the
Government which are particularly con-
cerned with trade relations with other
countries under the administration's
program Of recovery. In this List are
the Departments Of State, Treasury,

Commerce and Agriculture. the Agr1-
cultural Adjustment Administration, the
National Recovery Administration and
the United States Tariff Commission
This committee has an important
duty to perform, the adoption Of q COM
mercial policy for the Government. It
Is . duty that in the past has been left
In the hands of the Congress. Through
the taxing power and the power to levy
tariffs on imported goods that body was
in effect given control over the COM
mercial policy of the Government. It
was In position to declare for free
trade, for the protection Of American
products against foreign importations,
or for whatever intermediate policy the
Congress, representing the sentiment OF
the voters, desired to set up. The Con-
gress, however. has left to the Presi-
dent very largely the determination
Of the commercial policy Of this coun-
try. In the special session which closed
last Summer, authority was given the
President to limit or to forbid entirely
the admission Of imports into this
country which threatened the operation
Of the N. r. A.
So far no step has been taken by
the President to levy an embargo on
powers conferred. Complaints have
been filed against the importations Of
half dozen articles, including cotton
imitation Oriental rugs from France.
rugs, matches and lead pencils from
Japan. lead pencils from Germany, wool
felt hat bodies from Italy and watches
from Switzerland. Importations Of
these articles have increased Doubt
less there will be other complaints filed
So far, however, the list Of complaints
after five months of the N. r. A. seems
to be quite limited.
The Governments new Policy Com
mittee on commerce with other nations
will have to determine whether this
country proposes, as some now advocate,
to place all the emphasis on domestic
production, consumption and trade
within the borders of the United States,
or 1t is to seek removal Of inter-
national trade barriers so that once
again international commerce may be-
come, for this country, and for the
world, a major policy. There is still
considerable confusion as to the attitude
Of the administration. The Secretary Of
State, the Secretary of Commerce and,
more recently the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture have demanded the removal Of
trade barriers and freer trade policy.
But there have been others in the ad-
ministration who demand nationalistic
policy. The Commercial Policy Com
mittee's recommendations, If they are
specific enough, will be Of great interest.

There are great many modern read

history Of English literature and there

In truth, half the charm Of browsing

OF the unusual from the mighty pro-
cesSion.
1.-THE Faerie Queen" still stands, as
1t has since its production. as one of
the most unusual Of poems, not only
for its theme, but also for its verse
form and Its rigid adherence to that
form.
It is perhaps true that a reader must

all. the tremendous persistency which
enabled the poet to 60 on so long,
although even he could never finish It.

Most readers will say that 1.-THE
Faerie Queen" as we have 1t, Is a great
deal too long. As 1t is.
It Is in truth, not . poem for the
everyday, but for a mood.
1t scarce was a production for the
everyday when it was produced. How
can 1t be for these days?
No one thinks Of Spenser as easy
reading or even delightful reading In
the better senses Of the latter phrase.
He Is now, as he always has been,
poet for the man who has attempted
(although it may be in lines which no
one else has ever SEEM some poetic
composition of his own.
He who grows up simply with some
little faculty At prose, who makes
good grades" In English literature and
English composition in school, and who
later earns his living by the same
facility. has no right to sneer at Ed
mund Sponsors "Faerie Queen" Just
because he. as reader, does not happen
to like" 1t.
Sponsors name, with its letter IS"
and all, Is not fixed In the history Of
English literature for nothing.
A now forgotten poet named Base
once wrote an ''Epitaph" which began
as follows:
Renowned Spencer. lie thought more
To learned chaucer: and rare Beau-
mont, lie
A little nearer Spenser: to make room
For Shakespeare in your three-fold
four-fold tomb.
To lodge all four in one bed make q
Until Doomsday: for hardly will fifth.
Betwixt this day and that, by fates be
slain,
For whom your curtain must be drawn
again."
1t was to this poem that Ben Jonson
had reference when he wrote Of Shake
speare:
Soul Of the age!
The applause. delight, the wonder Of
our stage,
My Shakespeare, risel I will not lodge
thee by
Chaucer, or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie
A little further, to make thee a room;
Thou are monument, without tomb,
And are still alive while thy book doth
live,
And we have wits to read and praise to
give"
May not q much be said Of Edmund
Spenser, though In less degree?

New Relations With Russia
Discussed in Friendly Spirit

'the end Of trade and industrial troubles
in this country may come much sooner
than anticipated II this market in Rus
STA can be exploited for Americas sur
plus productions" Quite another view,
however. Is taken by the Springfield
Union, which finds progress in Russia
"halting and uncertain" and therefore
discounts expectations of finding Rus
STA "a highly profitable customer"
American exporters" in the opinion
OF the San Antonio Express. consider
that the Soviet Union offers a steady
market for many products, including
and electrical equipment and aircraft"
but the Baltimore Sun cautions that
I'VE ought not to delude ourselves again
that trade is a one-way process by which
We do all the selling and Russia all the
buying"
The Lima (Ohio) News believes that
Russia is fine potential market if
our country can ascertain with whom 1t
Is dealing there and can be reasonably
certain that the Russians have some
thing to use for money" and the Ohio
State Journal is frankly puzzled over
the problem of Russian payment, even
If it makes good its flamboyant claims
of heavy purchases"
Russia is willing to be recognized"
according to the Yakima Daily Repub-
lie, IF we lend her money enough to
pay back what she owes us and perhaps
few million more to buy some Of the
stuff from us that her five-year plan
has not produced" 1t is significant to
the Detroit News, however, that British
merchants look enviously upon the
enormous credit facilities of the United
States. wishing that these were avail
able for trade between England and
Russia. "They at least" concludes this
paper have no belief that Russia will
not pay and they are among the worlds
most canny traders" The New York
Herald Tribune calls Russia's CONNER
cial record "unexceptionable, but a.
the same time questions her capacity T.

care of the imports contemplated.
Even more important than trade re
lations, in the eyes Of the Rocheste
Times-Union. is the cooling and re-
straining influence that cordial Russo
American relations are likely to have
upon the hot-blooded military clique
which is now in control of Japan" and
the Topeka Daily Capital thinks that
Americans should take particular salts

Soviet Russia, which is American In

inventor Of the Wizard Of o.. onca
wrote Q short story about red-haired
giant, who for his sins was imprisoned
In q mirror. There he remained for
generations awaiting the release which
could come only when the castle should
be RACED. At long last the towers col
lapsed, the glass was shattered, and out
Of the ruins emerged the chastened
monster-a placid day laborer in the
fields Of the neighborhood.
But when the ancient houses Of
American towns are removed, their ma
terials distributed and their sites put
to other uses no ghostly tenants are
discovered. Instead, it Is merely the
memory Of men and women, boys and
girls, that Is released to history and
literature. If they have played inter-
esting roles in the human pageant, they
are recorded; If not they are forgot

goes on. building more stately man
sions" for the soul.
Yet it would seem right that repre-
sentative examples Of good old homes
should be preserved. Mount Vernon,
Monticello, the Hermitage, Ashlawn
at Charlottesville. Arlington, all have
been worth saving; the spirit OF q
Nation inhabits them. And there may
be houses in Washington which should
not be allowed to disappear. The Decatur
house, with its chronicle Of romance,
might be instanced. One cheering de-
velopment of recent years has been the
enthusiasm with which private owners
and tenants have preserved or properly
restored some of the old houses Of
Georgetown.
OF course, 1t is natural for people to
want the --latest improvements" But
sometimes they pay unconscious tribute
to old styles and old methods of build
ing by copying them. That, surely. is
a form of homage richly significant.

Old Houses.

An old house has an attraction which
It Is difficult TO analyze. Empty and
cold, dusty and damp, it may be, but
some lingering warmth of human habi-
tation still remains within its walls.
Perhaps it has been that curious cir
cumstance which in modern as In
ancient times has prompted the notion
that disembodied spirits walk the bar
rem floors Of deserted rooms and cor
fidors.
