ever satisfied Mr. Graves may be
with this new levy, It presents vlr-
tualIy every retailer in the state
with a serious dilemma Possibly
it can be worked out, but unless

Here in North Carolina the
was made, at leglsla-
i've committee hearing, that
stamps be printed, in denomi-
nations down 10 as low as a
.enth Of cent, and that these
stamps, to the amount Of the
ak, be affixed TO every pur-
.hase and paid for by the pur-
.haser. This method was dis
approved as impractical and
was abandoned. Other sugges-
ions for adding the tax to each
have been advanced,
)ut none Of them is satisfactory.
7 he merchants are to be left to
meet the difficulty as best they
an.
When the Congress laid d ,
per cent tax on electric current
for domestic use, year ago,
the law stipulated that this tax
should be added to every con
sumer's bill. Our opinion is
hat the North Carolina legisla
.ure should have found some
way to compel the same proce-
1ure with regard TO the sales
ak. Since the legislature did not
10 that, he merchants should
,ake concerted action to relieve
themselves Of the new tax bur
len. In their campaign against
the enactment Of the sales tax
they proved that they had a
well-knit, powerful organiza-
ton. They ought to use this
to effectuate an
agreement for passing the tax
on TO the consumer.

President Albert Lebrun led the
nation in saluting the dead. He
spent most of Christmas visiting

encouragement. The government
decided that national mourning
ceremonies would be observed at

Many months of civil war prob
ably will be necessary to deter
mine the outcome of the new cri-
sis. Neutral observers believe
that weak as the Marking govern
ment appears to be, its main
strength must be recognized in the
fact that the forces of the oppo-
sition are scattered. u
The Independent regime at Can
ton, in the deep south of China,
perched on the military strength
of Gen. Chen Chi-Tang, has de-
fed Marking for two and a half
years. There is considerable doubt,
however, as to whether Canton
will support the Fukien move
ment, even though it is also anti
Marking. Should Canton remain
aloof from the controversy be-
tween Fukien and Marking, it is
believed the rebellion can be
quelled.
The immediate effect of the
Foochow declaration of indepen-
dence by such outstanding figures

minister; Gen. Chen Wing-Hsu,
former minister of communica-
tions, and Gen. Tsai Ting-Kai,

Hold Traditional
Christmas Event
InRoman Church

ROME Dec. 26.-(UP).-The
annual solemn display of the five
wooden boards which tradition
saws formed part of the original
cradle of Christ, took place sun
dav in the Rome Basilica of st.
Mary Major. Thousands Of chill
dren. accompanied by their rela-
tives, passed through the church
in a ceremony which is one OF
the most characteristic and tradl-
tional around Christmas time
here.
The precious relic was shown
in one of the chapels of the
Basilica, and all the afternoon
and early evening crowds OF wide
eyed Roman children filed past
the wooden boards which tradl.
ton assures us formed part Oh
the manger-cradle. ~
Another curious and charac-
teristic sight was witnessed IN
the old church of Ara Coeli, near
the capitol. This was the chill
dren's sermons. After the cele-
bration of the last mass, little
bows and girls dressed in party
clothes, stood up on chairs or
other improvised pulpits in the
church, and delivered short SER
mons lasting five minutes or even
less.
In these sermons they had been
carefully coached by their par
ents, who stood admiringly
round. The girls seemed more
self-possessed than the boys,
though nobody was shy. The
children used plenty of gestures
and preached their little sermons
almost as though they were ex-
temporizing them.
Another side of the children's
Christmas eve here was the large
number of cribs or "presepi,' as
they are called, artistic represen-
tations of the birth of Christ in
the stable of Bethlehem were
prepared in many churches in
side affairs, or in specially con-
structed oilcoves. Some of the
cribs showed life-size figures of
the holy family, others were plan
ned on a smaller scale. In many
the lighting effects were quite
up-to-date and resourceful.
The streets of Rome were full
of animation all day until late in
the evening when everyone SEEM
ed to be making off home with
bundles of foo dand large packets
containing presents.
Thousands heard midnight mass
in the various churches, and then
followed the so-called "cenone,"
or big supper, when hearty
meal, washed down with Roman
wine, was partaken of in count
less homes.

Christmas Eve Sees Atmos-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. luP).
Christmas eve brought to WASH
ington its first real holiday since
| last March 4, a "breather III
preparation for a new year orlse
toward recovery which Will see
many changes. cL..,,,s
season with both the president
snd Recovery Administrator Hugh
G ;. Johnson emphasizing the
changing order of affairs. Mr..
Roosevelt broke precedents in his
usual fashion, giving a reception
for the White House police and
garage men and their families;
adding personal touch to the
traditional message to the army
and navy by saying to the men
81 am proud of YOU" and restor-
ing full citizenship rights to per-
sons who have served prison
terms for violation of the war
time espionage and selectlVe
service acts.
Johnson said that "a new or
der has been established which
will affect our entire social and
economic system for all time,
and emphasized that democracy
under the leadership of a presi-
dent embodying the essence Of
democracy in its highest sense
was represented in the recovery
program-a word of reinsurance
to those who still see the sign of
dictatorship in the emergency
powers granted to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The president, in a brief speech
marking the lighting of the Off
cial Washington Christmas tree
in Sherman square, said that q
real meaning had been given the
golden rule under the stress OF
depression and recovery.
Thus, even at Christmas time,
the order of the day was not for
gotten. The tone of Johnson's
statement and of the presidents
Christmas activities had Ger
tain air of victory; but there
was no effort to minibize the
ordeal that lies ahead. The or
deal, rather, was ignored so that
it would not intrude upon the
celebration of the season.
That there is an ordeal ahead
is abvious without the need of
emphasis upon it.
The upheavals that have reor-
ganized already the treasury and
the agriculture adjustment ad-
ministration may be paralleled in
other departments of recovery.

The monetary program remains IN
transition state, experimental
in its maneuverings toward the
goal of higher prices and safer
money system. There will be oits
tor attacks upon many aspects OF
tho administration program when
oonnress meets. The bank de-
nosit insurance plan about to 60
into effect is a drastic program
involving changes in the whole
theory of banking. :
Under the Roosevelt theory OF
a plastic program for recovery IN
which policies may be changed
overnight to meet emergencies
many more changes are, certain
as new situations develop and
new data accumulates to sho"
which branches of the program
are succeeding and which are
not producing results. -,
But it was impossible to avoid
the feeling in the Christmas ac-
tivities here that the president
and General Johnson felt a firm
confidence in the future of their
program.
The presidents generous ac-
ton in wiping out the scars OF
war for those who paid with pri-
son terms for violations of the
strict rules of a previous emerg-
ency was the action Of a leader
confident that the rights of citi-
zenship that he restored meant
something and would continue to
mean something.
y General Johnson spoke of a
"closer and more sympathetic re-
lationship" between employees and
employers; a Cleaner under
standing" among business groups
and between the government and
the people; Of a presidential pro-
gram designed to bring "lasting
contmentment to his people"
The irrepressible Chamber of
Commerce of the United States
issued a summary of imports for
the first nine months of the year
which fitted we'll with the feel
ing of confidence. Though total
imports in the first five months
of the year were down rs per
cent from the 1882 level. the
first nine months of the year
showed a net increase of 2.1 per
cent over the corresponding pc
riod of 1882. TIL total remain
ed, however, 54.S per cent below
the five-year average. August
set a new high for % months
with an airport total of S154,-
9S1, 900. The nine month total
was $1,036, 765,OOO. Coffee re-
manned the leading product inn
ported.
The Chamber report was the
only intrusion of figures into the
holiday week ends Washington
atmosphere. Though some offices
have continued working through
all previous theoretical holidays
since last March, Sunday the
wheels really were STILL The
agents Of the government from
the president down to stenog-
raphers and office boys, relaxed,
taking needed respite in prep
aration for the long pull ahead.
