Imports Fight
BYSfdfes Held
Treaty Danger
By EARL H. VOss

South Carolina and Alabama
are challenging the treaty power
lof the United States and damag-
ing its good name among other
nations with discriminatory laws
against Japanese textiles. a high
State Department official as
serted today.
Herman Phleger, legal adviser
of the State Department, made
the charges in speech before
the New York State Bar Associa-
ton at Saranac Inn, N. Y.
Japan has protested formally
a March 8 South Carolina law
making it a crime to sell Japa-
Inese textiles in the State without
displaying a sign reading "Japa-
nese Textiles Sold Here" A sim
liar law was passed later by Ala
bama.
Violates U. S. Treaty
The Japanese complaint that
the South Carolina law violates a
1853 treaty of friendship with
the United States lis we'll
founded" Mr.. Phleger said.
This protest has been COM
municated to the proper State
officials" he added, but there
lis no reason to assume that
those urging this legislation are
aware Of our treaty commit
Iments."
Secretary of State Dulles
wrote South Carolina Gov
George Bell Zimmerman, jr., last
March saying the law would
damage United States relations
with Japan. Mr.. Dulles pointed
out that Japan is this country
best customer. for cotton, and
that Japan's economic welfare
is important to United States
foreign policy.
The Secretary also wrote Ala
bama Gov. James E. Folsom be-
fore that States Legislature
acted, but without effect.
South Cardinals Legislature
passed a resolution calling on
other textile-producing States to
follow its example. One house
of the Louisiana Legislature has
passed a bill discriminating
against Japanese textiles.
State Department officials
hope some individual or business
in South Carolina or Alabama
will test the laws constitu-
tionality.
The agreement thus violated
was made in 1858 in a treaty
of friendship, commerce and
navigation with Japan. 1t pro-
vides that:
Products of either party shall
be accorded within the terri
tories of the other party, ma
tional treatment and most
favored treatment in all matters
affecting internal taxation. sale,
distribution, storage and use."
Cites Danger for U. S.
Mr.. Phleger warned: "Other
countries will hesitate to enter
into treaty commitments with
us, or will be less likely to grant
truly reciprocal advantages, if
they feel that their products will
be Disseminated against, not
withstanding a treaty commit
ment to the contrary"
The department legal adviser
also warned against State at
tempts to prohibit manufacture
and importation of beer by for
eign corporations.
He referred to a large Cana
dian corporation which the
Maryland State Legislature voted
to bar from the State as a manu.

Estimated Elementary Enrolment Of 4O7
Is 80 Per Cent Higher Than Decade Ago

When Bluffton's new elementary
school opens for business in Septem-
ber an estimated 407 pupils including
the kindergarten children will answer
the roll call. This is 16O more pupils
than the enrolment a decade ago.
How far ahead did Bluffton build its
school facilities?
In the planning stages more than a
year ago, the new building was
estimated to have a capacity for 30
per cent increase in the pupil load.
Bluffton's normal growth gave indica-
tons that by 1860 there would still
be plenty of room for the estimated
468 pupils.
But the best laid plans of men and
mice are apt to go awry, and if area
industrial development should prove
more rapid than calculated a couple
years ago the spare space could be
used up rapidly.
This year it appears there will be
one spare classroom plus the library
and visual education room which Is
full classroom size. Even after these
spare rooms are in use. Bluffton

Sharp Contrast

Building Costs

Building costs of the new
BlufftOn elementary school would
have sent grandfather reeIing in
amazement in comparison with
the sum for which they con-
structed the original building
back in 1875.
Total cost of the original
structure rs years before the
turn of the century was $1O,225.
Thirteen years later an addition
was added which amounted to
$4,000.
In the bond issue of November
8, 1854, the residents of the
Bluffton- -Richland school district
approved a total of 1896, 900 for
the handsome new structure
which stands on the site of the
original brick building. All but
$4,000 was used in the construc-
tion of the new building.
This $4,000 which remained

EASTER 1856

He who descended is he who
also assembled. Ephesians 4:lO.
In the triumph Of today all
earthly roadways are insufficient!
The wonderful way Of Christ has
led through multitude and soli-
tude, over high hills OF far vision
and into valleys where shadows
gather, but always onward and
upward, until in triumph his high
way actually becomes a high road
into Eternity.
Easter quickens the whole OF
life with newness and beauty OF
being, and lights again the lamps
of assurance where dark sorrows
and disappointments have been.
It becomes the continuation of our
human pilgrimage, lifting us upon
wings of the spirit. It is the only
accounting for faiths that have
enabled men to see the invisible,
loves that have passed all under
standing, hopes that shine on
when every earthly candle has
gone outl No one ever completely
travels the skyways on this earth
but when life spreads its wings
of faith, seeking the things above
1t, II scars to where Jesus led.
If we continue in His wonderful
way, we shall share his eternal
victory.

curity is involved.
Mr.. Gage said he served as
mayor Of Kansas City in 1870
46 and is acquainted with the
governmental side of the prob
lem. He had observed, he said,
''the almost universal tendency
on the part Of many Government
officials to withhold information

possibly form the basis for
criticism"
Would End Mystery
Mr.. Klagsbrunn suggested that
"the cloak of mystery" be with
drawn from the process of ham,
mering out policies. If differing
points of view were admitted, he
said, "the country would have an
opportunity to grow in thought
with the policies and to recog-
nize what often is the case
that the final decision is not the
only. the inevitable one. but on
balance is the best of several
worthwhile alternatives"
Secrecy has often bred SEN
sationalism, and fear of sensa-
tionalism has often encouraged
secrecy" Mr.. Klagsbrunn said.
Mr.. Schwartz said there is no
statute or judicial decision
which justifies the extreme pre-
