ernment. The Koreans number more
Christians proportionately than any
other Asiatic race, and they had
civilization boasting solar observatories,
movable type, an encyclopedia Of more
than 100 volumes, a magnetic compass,
an alphabet and other evidences OF great
culture at time when primeval forest
covered Washington and all was quiet
along the Potomac save the swish of
an Indians canoe.
President Roosevelt, Gov. Dewey and
the United States Senate, alike, possess
a great opportunity to restore mankinds
faith in the pledged word OF nation.
They have at hand great service to
perform for all small nations. It was
Pere Hyacinthe who said, in Notre Dame,
Paris, many years ago: "The little states!
They are the radiating centers Of the
most splendid civilization from the days
Of ancient Greece, which gave us an
Aeschylus, Sophocles, 4 Euripides and
Plato, down to those republics Of mod
ern italy to which we owe the revival OF
learning. The little states! They are
constituted by the hand Of God and I
trust He viii not suffer them to be re-
moved. He has placed them between
the great states rs negation Of uni
versal empire, pacific obstacle to the
shocks Of their power and the plots Of
their ambition. =
Korea Is little state-not much
larger than Minnesota: its population IS
small In comparison. with its giant
neighbors And it stfll looks to the
people Of the United States to correct
what Koreans are kind enough to refer
70 as an injustice. but which history
may have another word for.

A Trustee Of the Korean-Ameficsr

NEW YORK, July 29.-The stock
market today managed to conclude
a moderately satisfactory week with
a slight average advance although
trends were notably irregular
throughout the greater part of the
six-session stretch.
Apathetic dog-day tendencies be-

topped a million shares. From then
on the daily totals tapered with ac-
tivity Friday and in the final pro-

levels of mid-day.
The list had it's best day Tuesday
when some short covering and re-
instatement of accounts was based
on the idea the recent decline had
served as a healthy correction of
the lengthy forward swing. The di-
rection was cloudy Wednesday and
Thursday with the market suffering
a general setback yesterday, the first
OF the week.
Customers Are Cautious.
While drying up of liquidation In
dlcated to analysts that the next de-
cislve move could be upward, num-
erous customers still held aloof be-
cause OF the possibility of a sudden
NaZ1 collapse which, it was felt,
might find the home front unpre-
pared for reconversion. The AL
lied sweep in the latter part of the
week tended to accentuate specula-
tive and investment caution. Earn
