 A. A Catholic spokesman re- plies: No. Both parties must promise that all the children will be baptized and brought up Catholics, according to Canon l06l. The Catholic church be- lieves itself to have no option in this case, for she is bound by divine law to do all in her power to prevent her children, and f-u ture children, losing their faith.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY
SCORES ADVANCE.
Resurgence of Cotton Group
Biggest Development
During Year.
fHy cambridse Associates.)

Practically all divisions OF the tex
tile industry witnessed Improvement
in 1896. but probably the most impor-
tant development was the resurgence
OF the cotton textile group.
For several years pessimism on the
outlook has been decidedly poor, owing
in part to the duplication of manu-
featuring facilities entailed in the in
dustry's movement to the South.
Obsolescence and depreciation. how
ever, take rapid toll, and when de-
mand for cotton fabrics strengthened
at midyear, it was found that the
productive capacity of the country
had been reduced measureably by the
retirement of machinery.
Booked Through Second Quarter.
At the close of the year many mills
were booked up to the close Of the
second quarter of 1887. A section Of
the closed Amoskeag mills in Man.
chester. NJ H.. had been taken over
by the Pacific Mills to take care of an
almost unprecedented overflow OF
orders.
Firm prices prevailed, and it is be-
lieved that in spite of wage increases
and higher raw material costs the ma
jority of companies are on a profitable
basis at the present time.
Rayon production set a new high
in 1896, and the short fiber. which Is
made into spun rayon," came into
much greater favor. The latter Is
used in fabrics Stimulating suitings,
woolen dress goods and varity Of
other fabrics. Price increases are ex-
pected TO be announced.
Pay Raises in Woolen Industry.
Successfully increasing the price Of
wooden fabrics, the woolen industry
passed on wage increases to consum-
ers in the latter part of the year.
Silk saw much greater use In 1886
owing to the improved demand for
hosiery, in which field rayon Is still
considered decidedly inferior.

"The Federal debt is now around
$34. 900, ,000, 900 and rising at the rate
of nearly $1,000 900, 900 a year." the
study says. THE present interest cost
is under per cent and the rate of in
terest is still falling, the Govern
ment having just put out $500, ,000,-
900 of long-term bonds at a record
low Of az per cent.
"The Federal debt being what 1t
now is. each per cent the interest
cost might 90 up, the Nations tax bill
would increase some $3.50 .000. 900 a
year, or nearly So per capita per an
mum. A public debt of this size is
politically and socially possible with
out further drastic currency devalua-
ton only on the basis of abnormally
low interest rates.
Within four years the Govern

ratio between the automobile indus

to 1885, the magazine Steel said to-
day.

NEW YORK, January 2.-The Ger
man crisis is manifested by the alarm
ing growth of internal strains and
tensions; the acute shortage Of skilled
labor and depletion Of raw material;
the growing food crisis and general
lowering of standard Of living. Indi-
cations are that the government will
have to curtail. its construction and
other schemes to spread available sup
plies Of raw materials and food.
Britain will be dominated by politi-
clans in 1887, as In 1896; but Baldwin's
task of steering England in a middle
course will be difficult. Defense ac-
tivity will keep factories busy. The
big event Of the year will be the
coronation. Labor problems are grow
ing menacing. Textiles, engineering,
coal and transport may all be affected.
France is enjoying improved busi-
ness. Holiday buying is far more ac-
tive than in recent years. Imports and
exports were up in November. Franco
British negotiations with Germany re-
garding Spain are viewed hopefully,
but the very knotty problems involved
will retard speed.
Soviet war fears are increasing with
constant threats from Berlin and
Japan. The tense situation over sink
ing of a Soviet freighter by Spanish
rebels is keeping Kremlin of1cials
working on defense plans. Women are
trained to take mems places in in
dustry; even in metallurgical and coal
industries, machine shops, tool making
plants and repair shops.
Canadas manufacturing industry
was its greatest wealth producer in
1896 with an income SO per cent above

showed the biggest increase. 20.4 per

Kingdom are rising considerably
faster than in the United States. and
while England's important foreign
trade has shown an upward trend i'm
ports have been increasing faster than
exports. The adverse balance of trade
for 1886 will be much greater than
for 1895.
For France 1896 was year OF
crises, and the end is not yet. The
efforts Of the middle-of-the-road gov
ernments to maintain the franc and
halt deflation proved fruitless. The
Leftist Blum government attempted
likewise to keep the franc on gold
while imposing social reforms to raise
the living standards OF industrial
workers. Gold continued to flow from
France in spite of the efforts Of the
Bank of France and of the British
and American stabilization funds.
Finally, late in September, the long
awaited devaluation of the franc took
place.
French Meet Difficulties.
The act of devaluation itself was
accomplished with skill, and its ef-
fects, although not yet evident, prob
ably will prove beneficial. So far,
however, the turbulence of the French
political scene and Premier Blum's
IN. r. A." measures have prevented
the immediate repatriation Of French
capital that was hoped for. The gov
ernment is enmeshed in fiscal difficult
ties, and on the outcome of its budget
struggle and its success in dealing
with the labor situation depends the
influx of returning capital necessary
to finance important expansion next
year.
Germany continues to struggle with
the problem of importing sufficient
raw materials to feed her humnling
armament industry. Under the new
plan" imports are restricted so they
will not exceed exports, and further
restrictions bar consumption goods so
that the necessary foreign credits will
be available to secure coal, Ignite. pig
iron, etc, for the heavy industries.
Thus, while production and employ
l1lellI llQlCcS are several pOillIS duedQ
of the 1929 level the real income and
consequently the living standards of
the great majority have suffered major
Set-backs.
Because of retaliations, the use of
the "Aski' marks to subsidize exports
is dropping off and efforts now are
chiefly centered upon barter" pacts
to facilitate the exchange of goods
with foreign nations
Italy is in much the same posi-
ton as Germany, although living
standards have not been so adversely
affected The industries dependent on
foreign trade are still suffering from
loss of the major portion of their
markets in the sanctionist nations,
and the cost of the Ethiopian cam
paign and Italys huge armament
program constitute heavy drain on
the national economy.
