woodland altar under the trees. Each
year finds an increased number Of
marchers. in the parade, and the grow
ing size of the congregations also testi-
fies to the popularity Of the occasion.
But it would be strange If it were not
so. What, it may be asked, could have
more magnetic appeal to Americans than
such q rededication? The service is not
simply a great show. Rather, it is a
reafirmation of the loyalty Of thousands
to the ideals, the institutions, the tradi-
tions and the aspirations for which
heroes have "given the last full measure
of devotion" Several hundred patriotic
organizations under the leadership of the
Military Order Of the World War and
an unlisted multitude of individuals take
advantage of the opportunity to pledge
anew their allegiance to their country
and the country's destiny and duty.
The flag service, then, is a nations SYM
bolic perennial rebirth. 1t connotes an
everlasting immortality for all that peo-
pie consider worth living and dying for.

Paying the Piper.

Now that Italy's conquest Of Ethiopia
is steadily settling into the status of an
irrevocable accomplished fact, the Fas-
cists are beginning to reckon the cost
Of their imperial" achievement in
terms not only Of campaign expenditure,
but what will be required to reap the
fruits Of victory. Mussolini's minister
of finance has been discussing the ma
tional budget for the current and coming
fiscal years before the Duce dominated
Chamber Of Deputies at Rome, but re-
Trained from submitting figures that SUD-
ply any reliable idea of the amount
already actually lavished upon the Afri-
can adventure or what will still have
to be provided to convert it into worth
while investment.
Unoficial calculations, based on piece
meal information accumulated since in
ception Of the war, indicate that its total
cost to date is roundly $1,000 100000 It
is thought this sum will tide over the
early expense Of occupying the conquered
country and withdrawing the bulk of the
army. Measured by the results
achieved, chiefly the acquisition of
350,00O square miles of colonial territory,
a domain more than three times the size
of Italy itself, the price Mussolini has
had to pay for glory and aggrandize-
ment is not regarded as excessive. Nor,

Flag Service.

The annual massing of the colors serv-

of its kind compares with it for solemn
grandeur and beauty. It. is a ceremony
of the most deeply compelling attraction.
No sensitive man, woman or child par
ticipating in the rites ever can fail to
remember them. They represent patriot
ism and religion fused in single spir-
itual democracy of worship and COM
memoration.
Merely as a spectacle, the service is
unforgettable. Indeed, it may be doubted
that there is anywhere more stirring

tensity Of today we are forgetful Of what
our heritage has cost. In the main the
gifts We have and the wealth and hap
piness we possess were bought at great
price. All gifts and blessings are won
through sacrifice. 1t Is the demonstra-
ton Of love that counted not its life
dear unto itself that made possible the
progress Of the race.
Our memorials and days Of remem-
brance are feeble expressions of q peo-
pies gratitude, and yet they are indis-
pensable II we are to preserve our ideals:
Our remembered yesterdays are essential
to our successful todays. When We come
to reckon with life's finest values we dis
cover them In the sacrifices that have
made them possible.
At the very center of the Christian
faith stands cross as the expression of
supreme love. Upon this sacrifice a
worldwide religion has been founded.
However we may seek to avoid it, it is
the giving Of self in service for others
that is evident in the truest philosophy
Of life. Life without sacrifice is unpro-
ductive. nation that would pay tribute
to its honored dead must do more than
build memorials: 1t must reproduce those
strong qualities and virtues its loyal
sons died to preserve. Our heritage is
more than those material values we so
carefully guard and cherish. We are
what We are because of the ideals trans
mitted to us. Unless we guard and pre-
serve them, unless we do more than pay
tribute in words Of glowing praise to
those whom We honor as the Nations
heroes, we shall prove unworthy of our
proud place as citizens Of great Re-
public.
Memorial day should be a day OF re-
dedication. 1t should exact from each
one Of us new pledge to maintain at
all costs those enduring and unchang-
ing principles that constitute the very
foundation of our life as people These
principles are more than the expression
Of political theories and ambitious poll
ticiarls; they are grounded in the con-
Nction that the security of the Nation
resides in its moral and spiritual ideals.
Our memorials for our dead will have a
new meaning when we reproduce the
virtues Of those We memorabilia.

stitution, At almost exactly into the
pattern outlined by Mr.. Richberg.
He accepts the court decisions and
then sets about seeking to rebuild on
new basis in the expectation that for
mula can be found to satisfy the court.
Holding the power to appoint members
of the Supreme Court, by and with the
consent of the Senate, when vacancies
occur. time plays into his hands.
But what is the attitude Of the present
Supreme Court minority toward the view
Of constitutional Interpretation outlined
by Donald Richberg?
y X
Justice Stone. writing for the minority
in the A. A. A. decision Of January 6,
said:
THE power of the courts to declare
a statute unconstitutional is subject to
two guiding principles of decision which
ought never to be absent from judicial
consciousness. One Is that courts are
concerned only with the power to enact
statutes, not with their wisdom. The
other is that, while unconstitutional ex-
ercise Of power by the executive and
legislative branches of the Government
Is subject to judicial restraint, the oAly
CIlcCh upon our own cAcTClSe OI POWCk
is our own sense of self-restraint. For
the removal of unwise laws from the
statute books appeal lies not to the
courts, but to the ballot and to the
processes Of democratic Government"
Justice Brandeis, another of the
minority, in outlining his views in the
Tennessee Valley Authority case. listed
the seven rules which are supposed to
govern the court in meeting constitu-
tional questions, and all seven were de-
signed to limit the court in overriding
the acts Of Congress.
The court majority. on the other hand,
in its recent decisions has reflected
belief that the Supreme Court at present
is exercising its power to protect the
liberties Of the people.
Whether the minority or the majority
view is to prevail in the years Just ahead
is largely to depend on whether Mr..
Roosevelt returns to ofice. If he does,
then the next four years are likely to
see q new effort to amend the Constitu-
ton by Interpretation rather than by
use Of the formal machinery.

compared to Italy's pre-war total in
ternal Indebtedness, is 1t looked upon as
a ruinous addition. But at an interest
rate of five per cent on the billion dollars
already spent in East Africa the Italians
face an annual carrying charge of
$50000,000. Ethiopias whole import
trade before the war hardly amounted
to $5,000,0 1000 year. Even if Italy now
obtains a complete monopoly Of this
business, the profits from it will take
care of only fractional part of the
prospective increase in the national debt
service. ,.~
Authentic figures are lacking as to the
full ravages which sanctions have caused
to italian trade, but the damage has
been enormous. Even If the League Of
Nations presently lifts sanctions as a
useless irritant, 1t Is bound to be some
time before the italian economic system
returns to normalcy. The gold reserve
Is seriously depleted, and probably has
receded to about half of what 1t was
year ago. Budget estimates for the fiscal
year beginning July /, 1886, foresee the
first surplus which Italy has experienced
since 1s30-31. Just how this rosy show
ing is arrived at, following the devas-
tating experiences Of the past year, is
not clear. 1t is probably the result Of
wishful calculations rather than an esti-
mate based on assured conditions.
The Fascist financial future depends
primarily on how much is required to
develop Ethiopia. Some italian authori-
ties fear Mussolini will have to disgorge
at least another 81 900 900 900 during the
next ten years on economic exploitation
Of his colonial booty. That estimate may
prove far too conservative, If to it there
has to be added the cost of keeping up
an extensive italian military establish
ment in Libya and Ethiopia, to match
preparations which Great Britain con-
templates throughout the Mediterranean
area. Under almost any circumstances
the Italians confront an era Of tre-
mendous expenditure both at home and
in Africa in the task Of making empire
a profitable investment. How the
already overburdened Italian taxpayer
will stand the strain Of paying the piper
must be question causing grave heart
searching and many q headache in
Rome.

Memorials
RIGHT JAMES FREEMAN, D. d, IL. d. d. C. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

1t has been the practice Of men the
world over to give permanence to deeds
and acts Of heroic service by erecting in
enduring bronze or stone memorials to
the good and the great. In every hamlet
and city and on the open highways we
witness these testimonials to men and
women who in periods near and remote
have generously served their fellows.
From these ancient memorials the story
of humanitys progress has been largely
gathered. They are the permanent
record of notable service. Quite apart
from these We have other significant
memorials that express the reverent de.
votion and gratitude Of a people. The
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arling-
ton Cemetery is a symbol, representing
the thousands Of American youths who
went forth to maintain cause they be-
lieved was just. The name of the soldier
whose dust rests in marble tomb is un-
known, we know not whence he came,
we only know that he wore an American
uniform and followed Loyalty the Amer
lean flag. His tomb Is a witness to
type Of patriotism that we hold in grate-
full remembrance. There have been
countless other men who at other times
and under pressure of O nations call
responded. Their graves cover many
hillsides and some Of them lie in un-
marked places, their names forgotten Of
their fellows.
Thus the story Of mans sacrifice for
others Is told. Some achieve high dis
tinction in death. while others have no
place in the annal that records heroic
deeds and sacrifices. 1t is this that
makes Memorial day one Of fine sig
nificance. 1t is the day Of nations re-
membrance of her known and unknown
sons. More and more 1t has come to be
day when the strifes and contentious
that divided us in the past are forgotten
and we mourn as a people our common
loss. The men who fought in different
ranks and under different standards are
one In death. They teach those whom
they served to be one in life, and in de-
votion to those high ideals that consti-
tute the continuing peace and security
Of the Nation. In the hurry and in
