Schoolboys Run
School i'm London

LONDON P.-The dream of
schoolboys the world over has become
a reality in suburb of London.
Grafton School, Dagenham, Is run
by the boys themselves. The school
motto, BE Matey," applies more par
ticularly to the relations between the
boys and their teachers, for the boys
look upon their masters as big broth
ers, and the teachers upon the boys,
naturally enough, as their smaller
brothers.
The school rules-oh, yes, there are
ruies-were drawn up by the boys
themselves. A program of work is
selected each week by the boys and
their teacher, and any boy objecting
to this program can, provided he
gives a suitable alternative. DO other
work. What is, and what is not
suitable other work. is decided. not
py the teachers, but by the rest of
the class.
It is now some years since the
school-cane was taken in great cere-
mony to the caretaker, who, amidst
vociferous cheering, consigned it to
the furnace.
Asked whether this mode Of edu-
cation might spread throughout the
British Isles, the headmaster replied,
I'VE are, Of course, only experiment.

out Of every so buckets Of soil. Rhodes
averaged $500 week on his 30-foot-
square claim.
One may here interpolate that 1t
was just by chance-so conspicuous
in British imperial affairs-that the
tunnels of diamantiferous earth and
rock happened to lie athwart the
track of the African corridor which
Rhodes later described as the Suez
Canal into the interior. There were
$4,000 turbulent white immigrants
struggling for diamonds on 20-acre
patch when the British imperial ma
chine, through its shrewd and enter
prising satrap, one Southey, elbowed
of the Transvaal Beers and the Free
State Beers, made a deal with Chief
Waterboer Of the Griqua tribe and
grabbed the Griqua territory for
Britain-and the diamond patch along
with 1t.
The Beers were sore. Five years
after the big grab a blushing British
government paid the Free State
$3.50, 900 as solatium. The Beers
took it, but with a sour smile. One
years output of diamonds from the
volcanic pipes they had lost aggre-

What Will Revive Trade?
ernational dow of goods must be re-

ternational dow of goods must be re-
moved.
Under pressure from some of the
theorists of local affairs there was a
danger at one time that America
might adopt the utterly disastrous
quota system. The Secretary of State
was alive to the danger and pre-
vented it, except in the case of the
quotas on wines and liquors.
Hull Recognizes Basic Principle.
Many people refused and still refuse
to see the advantages of triangular
trade-that we can sell to Brazil, Bra
I'll to England and England to us just
as economically and far more usefully
and broadly than If We should make
our sales to Brazil conform in amount
always to our purchases from Brazil.
Mr.. Hull always recognized this, just
as he never missed sight of the in
visible balances, so called.
For example, if 10000 tourists 60
abroad and spend an average of 81 900
apiece, that gives the countries they
visit $10,000,000, which they may
spend in the United States just as
surely as though we had bought $10,-
100000 worth of THEN goods.
Mr.. Wallace generally stands with
Mr.. Hull. except that his knowledge
Is less-he has not made life study
OF foreign trade-and except when he
expresses sudden ideas of his own, like
abandoning the American merchant
marine, Mr.. Peek rather consistently
opposes them both. And the true New
Dealers-the people who used to be
called the Brain Trust and still,
through the President, run the coun-
try-are opposed to them all. Nobody
knows exactly what they do want, but
1t Is something different.
Just word more, in summary.
Freely flowing international trade is
dependent on confidence. Tariff walls
can generally be surmounted in the
end, but all trade bogs down if there is
uncertainty as to rates, as to currency
values, as to governmental policy. Un-
fortunately all three of these factors
are present in Washington.

It has been suggested that the old
Queen made this peculiar provision,
which passes the stone from Queen to
Queen of England, because she noted
that the legend specifically mentions

owned it and chanced to lose it, it
would have no power to harm her.
But in any case, as the diamond will

believe even the bureaucratic theorists
of Washington recognize these facts
secretly, of course. They will not fully
admit them because to do this woulc
be to condemn the financial policy oi
the administration as well as its two
chief experiments to date, N. r. A. ano
A. A. A. Instead, they are trying tc
find other excuses or to change the
subject, or are seeking new foreign
trade pumps to prime, since none Of
those first chosen have so far pro-
duced much of anything except gas.
MIR. Peek pushes doggedly his idea
of bilateral bargains, which II put In
effect would inaugurate what would
amount to a system Of international
barter. He almost put across such an
arrangement recently with Germany
by which Germany would have taken
a large amount of American cotton in
exchange for some Of the products OF
German industry. AS single trans
action it looked worth while, as it
would have disposed Of lot Of surplus
American cotton, which is drag on
the market; but Mr.. Hull considered
that 1t would constitute too dangerous
a precedent.
Suggestion Worries Some.
MIR. Hull was probably correct. Soon
thereafter-on April Very likely
to minimize the danger of future dis
putes of the same kind, he issued q
statement that 1t is the official policy
of the American Government to OBJ
serve strictly the general-most-
favored-nation principle-the first
time, so far as I know, that such a
statement has ever been issued to keep
another branch of the Government in
its place. 1t was an admirable state
ment and 1t made clear that the De-
partment Of State was In charge Of
foreign relations.
Some people were a little worried at
the suggestion that the Secretary of
State was planning to use this equality
of treatment as a threat to make
other nations behave, so far as Ameri-
can goods were concerned. They
should not have been worried. There
is no reason in the world why we
should give equal treatment to the
goods of a nation which discriminates
against our goods. The only danger
is that inherent in any retaliatory
weapon.
In this whole foreign trade study
and dispute the Secretary of State Is
the only one who keeps his feet firmly
planted on the ground. As any one
would admit, he is an idealist in his
leaning toward free trade, which Is not
necessarily best for this country be-
cause it may be for Great Britain; but
he always keeps In mind the truth
that in order to have freedom Of trade
as distinguished from free trade. the

Opposition Is Divided,

In the lineup as it stands, with the
New Dealers united and the anti-New
Dealers divided, the New Dealers are
likely to win the election next year.
The New Dealers are likely to win, not
because there are more of them, but
mainly because the opposition to them
is divided. And if the New Dealers
win next year, what will follow? Mr..
Roosevelt and his associates in the
leadership Of New Deal thought will
fasten upon the country their new
conception of society. If and when
we have the new conception Of So
ciety, it Is inevitable that change
in the American form of Government
will follow.
Yet the New Dealers do not have a
majority in the country. If there were
presented to the country for Yes and
No vote a clear choice between, on
the one hand, the thing that the New
Deal contemplates or even the New
Deal at its present partial stage OF
progress, and, on the other hand, the
familiar American form Of society and

GARDEN

Edna May Oliver and James Gleason, that inimitable screen team, mix hilarious comedy with tense melodrama while solving the answer to RKO-Radios latest mys- tery thriller, Murder on a Honey omon," which opened yesterday at the New Garden theater.
 Miss Oliver plays an angular, snoopy schoolmarm of the 1890 vim tage who is suspicious that every death is a murder, while MT. Glea- son portrays a fast-talking, but rather obtuse police inspector. Lola Lane, as an ambitious Holly wood extra, gives an excellent per- formance and oDrothy Libaire and Harry Ellerbee are delightful as the honeymoon couple. George Meeky is convincing in rather thankless role and Morgan Wallace is good in Q heavy part.
 Much of the supporting comedy is furnished by Chick Chandler Matt McHugh, Spencer Charters Dewitt Jennings and Arthur Hoyt Striking light effects and fine pho- tography, combined with the dra. matic but subtle direction of iLloyc Corrigan, add much to the produc' ton.
