An element of luck, perhaps,
shaped the conduct of Isaac
Moses. Never having lived in
England, he was free of the COM
mercial attachments that deter
mined the loyalty of those mer-

force of circumstances. He needed
only to contrast the barbarous
disabilities that obtained in Ger
many with the freedom and op-
portunities in the Colonies. No
obligation to or sentiment for
England made the choice difficult
to throw in his lot with the pa
triotS.
But the patriotism of Isaac
Moses was not calculated policy.
He could have made his peace
with the British when they took
over New York. Instead he aban-

Bennett Champ Clark

Born at Bowling Green, Pike County, in
1890, Bennett Champ Clark spent most of
his life in the District of Columbia. Yet he
definitely represented Missouri in the major
interests and patterns OF his career. Both
his parents reflected the natural skepticism
Of the "Show Me" State, and he was glad
to follow their example. Thus he grew up
distrustful of the partisan groups of large
cities, the political influence Of big buSi-
ness" and the activities Of what he called
"interventionists." He put his faith in the
people of the farm districts and small towns,
rural America Firsters'; and he spoke for
them even when their cause was unpopular
and obviously destined to fail.
His fathers experience at Baltimore in
1912 embittered Bennett for the rest Of his
days. The deal which he believed had been
worked by the Bryan faction and Tammany
Hall to nominate woodrow Wilson In place
OF the Speaker OF the House was, IN his view.

Defeatism in this respect is said to
have made these nations vulnerable

The vulnerable aspect in the opinion
of some observers is the basis for

Beloted Honor

History, it is said, always gives perspec-
tive to the controversial events Of the day.
But the passage of time also often tends to
distort things Bit giving glamour to the
commonplace and making big legends from
little truths.
Time. especially where national pride
is concerned, also can resolve infamy into
honor. And so tomorrow Fort Myers Sd
Infantry Regiment, the Capitals show

call it an honor, although some historians

Watch Toriff Controversy

The July 10 letter Of Charles p. Taft,
commenting unfavorably upon The
Stars level-headed editorial on the
watch-tarif case, is an excellent IL
luStration of the tactics which have al
most caused the extinction of the jew
eled watch industry in the United
States.
In the first place Mr.. Taft is not very
fortnight In disclosing his real inter-
est in this watch-tarif controversy. He
signed his letter as president of the
Committee for National Trade Policy.
It seems only fair for those who read
his letter to know that the Taft family
are-or until recently were large stock
holders in the Gruen Watch Company
of Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the four
largest importers Of Swiss watches.
Gruen has been one of the leaders
Of the importers trade organization
the American Watch Association
which has sought for years. so far
quite unsucceSsfully, to confuse the
watch tariff issue. Ralph LazruS, an
officer Of the BenruS Watch Company,
another major importer, is president
of the American Watch Association and
is also a member Of the committee for
which Mr.. Taft purports to speak.
Now let us see how closely Mr.. Taft
appears to be working with the i'm
porters of Swiss watches and the Swiss
watch trust. The approach and the
phraseology of Mr.. Taft's letter, as it
relates to the jeweled watch industry,
correspond very closely with the state
ments of former Senator Willard Tyd-
ings. who represents the American
Watch Association, before the Tarin
Commission and, more recently, before
Preparedness Subcommittee of the
Senate Armed Services Committee. An
excellent example is the references to
so-calIed Investigation" by the late
Senator Hunt Of Wyoming into the de-
tense Importance Of the jeweled watch
industry. The purported quotation of
Senator Hunt relating to the capacity
of Eastman Kodak Company to make
time fuses is in realty a quote
from letter signed by Mr.. LazruS as
president Of the American Watch AS
ISOLATION to the Office Of Defense Mo-
bilization, dated March "a, 1854. This
quoted statement was prepared by Mr..
Lazrus, not by Senator Hunt.
Thereafter, on April 6, 1854, the
material in this letter Of the importers
