THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS

1t is the day before Christmas, and the
Christmas spirit is surely in the air.
Children are happy in anticipation, and
parents have donned that mysterious look
which hints of good things for the early
morning hours when the annual rush is
made on the Christmas tree.
Smiles adorn the faces we meet and the
faces we greet on the street.
"A Merry Christmas to You and Yours"
is the salutation of the hour, and right
cheerily is it returned.
Sacks Of candy are piled up awaiting
distribution by Santa Claus.
Charitable organizations lave complet-
ed their preliminary work and are ready
to distribute food and clothing among the
needy.
Stacks of toys made instruments of hap
piness by firemen are ready to be placed
where they will do the most good.
1t is the day before Christmas, the day
when all the world is at peace with its
neighbor, the day before the day of days.
That the anticipation of the day may
not be disappointed, that realization may
equal anticipation, is the wish of The
Brownsville Herald as for the 43rd year
this Valley institution wishes the entire
Valley "A Merry Christmasi"

VETERANS SET AN EXAMPLE

Rudolph Hess, Hitler's chief aide in the
Nazi party. is reported to have accepted
an invitation of French war veterans to ad-
dress them in Paris. This, it is reported,
would be the first step in an effort to get
German and French veterans together on
an amicable program looking toward the
preservation of peace.
Whether anything will come of it, of
course, is something that only time can
tell. But there is something peculiarly
hopeful about the effort, at any rate.
Most of the international hatred that
curses the world these days is kept alive by
civilians. The men who did the actual
fighting hate-not each other. but wal it.
self, and the illogical human tendency to
forget the aims for which they fought.
If there could be a genuine approach be-
tween French and German veterans, the
non-combatantS of the two nations would
get a powerful object lesson on the futility
of postwar suspicious and enmities.

as deeply as it is ever indebted to anyone.
DR.. Park has found a serum which he be-
lieves grants immunity against this dread
full disease. Approximately 25 people have
been innoculated with it so far; all have
received immunity.
Further tests, of course, will have to be
made to see whether the immunity is per-
manent, and to make sure also that there
are no unforeseen faults in the process;
but the present outlook is exceedingly en-
couraging.
In any case, it will take some time before
this serum can be made available to ply
sicians outside of New York. But if pres
ent expectations are fulfilled, a tremendous
achievement in preventative medicine will
have been made.

Export Credit Guarantee

Export Credit Guarantee
A major new development in the
matter Of increasing exports Is re-
ported by the Alexander Hamilton
Institute, New York:
To stimulate American exports,
an export insurance guaranty
scheme is under consideration
whereby the government would
guarantee export credits I'D to 90
or 70 per cent to facilitate pur-
chasing OF merchandise in this
country by foreigners unable TO
obtain dollar exchange.
The export-import banks estab-
lished especially to finance foreign
trade have failed to function as ex-
pected, and so far their operations
have been confined TO financing a
few minor transactions"
