British Trade Not
Helped by Quotas
nv A. G.. GARDINER.

LONDON, May 12-The evils of
the economic nationalism that is
strangling international trade are
nowhere more apparent than here,
and the bill which proposes to con-
fer on President Roosevelt the power
to negotiate commercial agreements
with foreign countries and to raise or
lower tariffs, without the need of
ratification by Congress, is welcomed
in British free trade circles as a
symptom that fiscal sanity Is begin
ming to revive. For the moment there
is not much evidence Of its revival
here, though the rift in the cabinet
Is notorious.
On the one side is Walter Runci-
man, president of the Board Of Trade,
who in the past has been the most
eloquent advocate Of free trade in the
country and who Is still convinced
that export trade must be the foun-
dalton Of British commerce. He has
yielded to the expedients of tariffs
and quotas and subsidies which
have been devised to- counter the
economic nationalism Of other coun-
tries, but he has done SO unwtlingly
and has endeavored by agreements
with the Scandinavian and other ma
lions to stem, the drift into I'M
equivocal protection and to pave the
way for the return of the country to
its free trade tradition.
Mr.. Runciman's most powerful OPP
ponent is Walter Elliot, minister OF
agriculture, and it Is Mr.. Elliot who
has so far dictated the economic
policy OF the country. He Is con-
WINGED that IN the conditions Of the

erous in the Second Breakfast Club;
they do not get up early enough to
be eligible for membership. 1t Is the
people who now and again see sum
rise and who have their first break
fasts at Ave who make the best &C
credited candidates. For them the
seven hours between dawn and noon
Is q longish space, and moderate re-
enforcement requires no special ex-
cuse. They have the precedent Of
the Greeks and the French for their
"failing"-both those nations practice
an art of living and both are second
breakfasters by choice and without
apology.
And 1t is possible that the ten O'Clock
gathering In the downtown feederies
is composed Of unwilling philosophers.
A wise physician once remarked that
1t is q good plan to eat only q little
at a time but to eat often. The anti
between meals school Of medicos may
disapprove, but their objection has
not had much weight. It seems
natural to seek provender when one
wants it. and perhaps the second

In any case, there are q lot Of
people who have succumbed to the
temptation to sneak out for q snack

Second Breakfast.

A second breakfast, it would seem,
is a silly affair. and efficient people
probably never would entertain an
impulse to indulge in one. But there
are at least few individuals who are
not that eficient, and the proprietors
of downtown restaurants and drug
stores know by experience that very
desirable quantity Of business accrues
from the habit which these "un-
fortunates" have formed for another
cup Of coffee about ten o'clock IN the
morning. Every day there is q line

The last year has witnessed more
trends in social life which have been
ut the same time forward looking and
reactionary than probably any similar
period in the history Of the country.
There have been broadening social
law enactments and there has been
a remarkable tendency toward lib
eralization. The year has seen much
blue-law repeal.
While the most notable example,
Of course, was the repeal Of prohibit
ton, there have been repeats Of State
measures and authorizations of activi-
ties long barred. In spite Of not
little protest from certain religious
elements, Congress has seen fit to
authorize boxing in the District Of
Columbia and a boxing commission
has been appointed. When one stops
to consider that the National Capital
has been a sort Of forcing house for
much reform legislation and has been
used for a sort of civic guinea pig
experimentation, the legalization Of
boxing in the jurisdiction is revelatory
Of the new note of the times.
Much in point at a time when Or
gained sport is being brought back
in the way Of extending jurisdictions
for boxing and also for horse racing,
Is the attention which the British
people have been giving the same sub
jects. A Royal Commission was ap-
pointed to study the problem Of gam
bling and has just brought in a COM
prehensive report on the subject. 1t
may be that the whole trend is de-
layed reaction from the World War
and from the postwar period in which
so many repressive actions were taken
all over the world. Whatever the
cause, it is certain that there has
been a tremendous increase in all
kinds of gambling. One of the most
outstanding manifestations has been
the increase in the number of lot
teries and in the amounts OF the
prizes offered. 1t was recently pro-
posed, for example, that the State OF
New York conduct a huge lottery for
the purpose of raising relief funds.
The most famous lottery now oper-
ating is the Irish Hospital Sweep
stakes. The Irish Hospitals Trust Is
an official organization OF the irish
Free State. Inasmuch as the Free
State now is autonomous, the British
law against lotteries does not apply.
Although the British government has
frowned severely on the institution,
it has been incapable Of preventing
huge patronage by the British public
Eight Of these Irish lotteries have
taken out of the British public S
pockets the tremendous sum OF
$50 900 900.
British Governments Attitude.
At a time when the British ex-
chequer is hard pressed for funds. at a
time when British income taxes are
burdensomely high. the treasury of the
realm looks with jealous eyes on this
drain to what amounts to foreign
country, technically at least. Under
the Irish Hospitals Trust lottery
scheme, quite a large sum of money
goes into the Irish Free State ex-
chequer. The Free State, it will be
recalled, has refused to pay to Great
Britain the annuities arising out OF
the land settlement agreement, so 1t

Mothers Day.

It is a gracious custom to set .
day apart for the particular COM
memoration of motherhood, for the
formal expression Of the universal
instinct of gratitude which the whole
race feels toward mothers as a class.
But, as Abraham Lincoln said Of an
other solemn circumstance. it is
difficult for humanity to hallow or
consecrate lives Of sacrifice and love
already divinely acknowledged.
Mothers day is one of the occasions
when the poor device Of spoken or
written words is too frail to serve the
need. Like its companions In the
calendar Of sacred honor-Christmas.
Easter and Thanksgiving-it is .
time for reverent silence, for the
unheard music which, Is John Keats
knew, Is "sweeter" than any uttered
melody. Not even the great lords OF
song have had the power to signal
from their hearts the full intensity.
the passion of devotion burning there.
For ages. the most generously gifted
masters Of language have struggled In
vain-it is impossible to translate the
emotions of the spirit into syllables.
And mothers realize the handicap
under which their children labor.
They themselves are similarly bur-
dened-they cannot tell their own
consuming tenderness for sons and
daughters they have borne and nursed
and cherished. Only by the fash OF
a glance, the gesture Of a hand, the
disciplined shadow Of a smile Of I'M
guessed joy or pride or sympathy do
they testify to the bond which moth
ing ever can break. They wear their
laurels Of maternity with q noble
humility. happy in the privilege which
they have been permitted to share
with one who was the Mother Of the
Martyred Son Of God.
But perhaps the most significant
aspect Of Mothers day is not its
effort toward articulation Of the mex
pressible, but rather its practical
purpose of reminding the Nation Of
the necessity for protecting mother
hood adequately. A social duty Is
involved. Through the institutions Of
government the citizens Of the land
should guard and endow, shelter and
reward those who pay in the coin Of
pain for all the progress, all the
civilization, all the hope they enjoy.
1t would be well II people remembered
the inclusive philosophy Of Lincoln
at Gettysburg. remembered the obli-
CATION Of national dedication and
strove to make the United States 4
country equal in all its values to the
courage, the charity and the mercy
which mothers. by the grace Of Provi-
dence, exemplify.

THE MOTHER
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D. D, IL. D. c. L.
Bishop Of Washington

that her hand rang the church bell
in every meeting house throughout
England. Behind the persuasive
preaching Of her distinguished sons,
as the most compelling force in their
lives, was this noble woman. In our
modern evaluation of men and things
we are sometimes prone to treat with
scant consideration the place the
mother occupies in shaping the course
of events. It may be that some Of our
modern notions of life and of the
sphere of woman's influence has les
sened the respect in which she was
once held as the guiding spirit OF her
household. 1t may be that the new
place she holds in occupational and
public life has tended to take from
her her high distinction as the deter
mining factor in moulding and shap-
ing the moral character of her house
hold. If this be but partially true 1t
implies a loss that our modern world
can hardly sustain.
In our efforts to re-cast our sys-
TENS and to bring back days OF pros
perity and plenty it were well that
we gave primary consideration to the
place that home and motherhood &C.
cupy in securing to us those things
that are indispensable to our peace
and continuing happiness. The
Christian home where moral disci-
pines and restraints are gladly recog-
nized Is a vital factor In all that con-
Germs our social and economic we'll
being. Let the integrity Of the home
be impaired, let respect and rever-
ence for motherhood be weakened.
and all our boosted genius, wealth and
manpower will avail us little IN the
day of our testing
In the brief story of the life OF
Jesus. Bethlehem and the gentle
Mother and her Holy Child occupy a
central place. 1t has been the In
spiration Of painter, poet and must
clan. Later incidents in His life dis
closed the depth of His affection for
the woman who bore Him, and it
reaches its climax when, nailed to a
cross His solicitude for her prompted
Him to commend her to the beloved
friend, John. No one has ever given
greater distinction to the place the
mother occupies than did the worlds
supreme Master.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1934-05-13

One Of the finest tributes to the
distinction Of the mother in the
household Is contained in the thirty
first chapter of the Book Of Proverbs
Nothing Is more strikingly illustrative
Of the supreme place the mother
occupies in the home than Is found
in such passages as these: THE heart
of her husband doth safely trust in
her" She will do him good and not
evil all the days of her life," "She
rdseth also while it Is yet night, and
giveth meat to her household" Her
candle goeth not out by night" 'She
openeth her mouth with wisdom; and
in her tongue is the law of kindness"
she looketh well to the ways of her
household, and eateth not the bread of
idleness." The climax is reached in
these words: Her children rise up
and call her blessed; her husband
also, and he praiseth her"
The exalted place the mother &C.
cupies Is utterly Incompatible. She
Is the maker Of standards not only
for her own household but for society
in general. She Is very largely the
arbiter Of the destiny Of the state
itself. Small as the circle Of her
influence seems to be, restricted as
Is its area, she represents an essential
and indispensable unit in the do
mestic and social scheme Of things.
Laws may regulate and have a de-
termining effect upon our course OF
action, but ideals are mightier than
laws and these are largely generated
in the home. No matter to what place
of distinction woman may come, she
has no more exalted office than that
which is given her as the mother OF
her household. If her capacity to rule
IT. this highest sphere of her influence
is impaired or jeopardized, no other
distinction that Is conferred upon her
may compensate for this loss.
Any study of the biographies of the
good and the great inevitably discloses
the mighty influence mothers have
exercised in fashioning and shaping
the careers of those who have been the
worlds chief benefactors. The testi-
mony Of the ages gives to the mother
the place of supremest power IN de-
termining the destiny Of men and ma
lions. So great was the influence OF
Susanna Wesley, the mother OF John
and Charles, that it was said OF her

"Silly" Regulations.

Commissioner Allen packs consid-
cradle amount Of common sense into
his brief reference to criticism Of the
Districts liquor regulations when he
suggests that
If silly regulations will prevent the
return Of the conditions that pre-
vailed in the old saloon days. then I
am for having such silly regulations.
1t is, of course, q pleasant form Of
recreation to poke fun at the laws
and at some Of the safeguards that
have been attempted experimentally
to prevent the conditions that brought
about prohibition.
But the duty Of public ofncials,
charged with responsibility in achiev-
ing the purpose of these laws and
regulations, does not, unhappily, end
with ridiculing them. If some Of the
vagaries of the complexities of reg
ulating a dificult business appeal to
their risibilities, there should be an
accompanying urge to suggest more
effective and appropriate measures.
1t is not recalled that any law en-
forcement officer has ever taken any
other stand, publicly, than to express
a grim determination to enforce the
law" As proved by unhappy expert
ence in the past, declarations to "en-
force the law" do not seem to be all
that is necessary. And the public
official who sternly declares that he
will enforce the law, and then ridi-
cules the laws which he Is to en-
force, of course makes his task that
much more difficult.
If, as represented. the aims Of re-
pealing the eighteenth amendment
were to increase temperance and
sobriety, to increase respect for law
and to prevent "the return OF the
saloon" in old or new guise, it Is to
be admitted generally that the Dis
trict, along with the rest of the coun-
try, is still in pursuit Of these goals.
But it Is not yet clear that the Dis
trict is to be brought any nearer such
fine detectives by tearing down safe
guards on the assumption that they
are "silly."
