Tariff and Trade
A favorite argument of the free trade school of
economists has been that the United States must
lower Its tariff walls to let In foreign goods if Eu-
rope Is to be able to buy and pay for American
products. For ten years this doctrine has been ;
preached and during all that time there has been 1
steady Increase in United States exports. In equal
disregard of the theory Imports of foreign goods
have continued to increase despit* higher tariffs.
Preliminary report of 1929 trade has Just been is-
sued by the Department of Commerce. It shows con-
tinued increase In volume of both exports and Imports
and particularly that Imports are growing faster
than exports. The world sold to the United States
more goods even over existing tariff barriers than
ever before save for a single year Just after the war
closed when trade was resumed. The excess of ex-
ports over Imports for the year was 847 million dollars
as compared with one billion excess the previous
year. Imports increased 309 million exports 120
million. With every country adding to its tariffs
international trade seems to be getting along very
well.
Arms and the Chaplain
Rev. Dr. Douglas Clyde Macintosh who served
wth the British forces as chaplain during the World
war and is now a professor of theology at Yale unlver-
aity. has been denied citizenship because he refuse
to take the oath to bear arms. Judge Warren B.
Burrows of Federal District court who decided that
under American law Dr. Macintosh is ineligible to
citizenship ruled as follows:
It appearing that the said petitioner considering
his allegiance to be first to the will of God. would not j
promise in advance to bears arms in defense of the
United States under all circumstances but only
If he believed the war to be morally Justified it Is
decided that the petitioner is not attached to tliu
principles of the Constitution of the United States
and further decreed that said petition for citizenship
Is denied.
It is much to be feared that the wise Judge hnd
his tongue In his cheek when he wrote this opinion.
January Top-Notch Events
James E. Ferguson in the throes of a nightmare
fell out of bed and broke his collar-bone.
Earle B. Mayfield turns loose a 7000-word guber-
natorial platform and throws his hat in the ring.

assembles under the big dome to tackle problems of
the hour.
Judge John W. Brady goes to trial in Travis county
courthouse and enters a plea of not guilty to a
murder presentment.
Greatest freeze in Central Texas history falls In
the wake of all these events with the startling an-
nouncement by the public press that Chmn. David
W. Wilcox and Ills committee will decide the fate of
Hoovercrat democrat candidates for office on the
first day of the lovely month of February.
Now Just why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
THE NAVAL DISARMAMENT HUDDLE
(Copyright 1930 by The Associated Newspapers >
The movement to bring naval battles under the
head of pleasure-boating is on again. This time it
is a five-power naval disarmament huddle in Lon-
don. Delegates from the various countries have so
far scrapped nothing beyond a catalogue showing
1930 models of admirals dinghies but normal opti-
mism Is being registered.
• • • •
The idea is to reduce the fleets of all major powers
so that admirals will have to sleep two to a bunk and
gunners three to a hammock. The theory is that if
you make the admirals uncomfortable you will have
overcome the one big obstruction to naval disarma-
ment anyhow.
• • • •
Just now the big difficulty is getting the major
powers to agree on what size navy they could afford
to have shown in the weekly news films without
fueling embarrassed.
• • • •
Heavy destruction of battleships by knife and fork
has been reported at the headquarters of the several
delegations and fleet after fleet has been wiped out
under a ruthless verbal barrage in London hotel
suites but the unemployment figures among sailors
are still far from alarming.
• • • •
All the major powers subscribe in a general way to
the idea that big battleships make the neighbors un-
necessarily nervous and that it might be better for
world peace if the warships in collision during peace
maneuvers were fewer and smaller.
• • • •
Before any progress can be made the five powers
must agree on a maximum tonnage for new boats.
The idea is to run future naval wars by the weight
system just as is done in the boxing world. Before
any naval battle could be started it would be neces-
sary to announce the weights.
• • • •
Ships would have to fight in their proper classes
and no warship would be allowed to fight unless it
could make the weight.
• i t t
The newspapers would probably print first page
pictures of tftfe contending admirals showing height
reach biceps chest (inflated) ankle waist wrist and
forearm measurements.
« • • •
No naval battle could be opened wthout an ex-
change of official line-ups and the use of any warship
not on the list would be denounced as a violation of
the amateur spirit and disqualified.

The London Naval Arms Conference is being given
to the public over the radio. Elmer Twitched has a
notion that the whole disarmament proposition is the
work of some cigarette soap or ginger ale company.

King George spoke over the radio at the opening
of the conference and that guiltiest of feeling was
experienced by British subjects tuning out on him.

“Bran Tacks” on the Sunday School Lesson
(The (5ol6ctt (Text
—. ■■ ■ !
” "Bl«»ted are tba pure ia heart for they thajl tee Cod."—Mat*
thaw 5:8...... -
By DK. ALVIN E. BELL
The number "seven” is repeatedly
used in Scripture as a symbol oi
completeness and perfection. We
are not surprised therefore to find
in our analysis of that one incom-
parable sermon of the ages the
Sermon on the Mount that it is
a seven-fold sermon upon seven
texts .setting forth the fundamental
principles of the Kingdom of Heaven
which Christ as King was offering
his nation much as a candidate
for the presidency formulates a
platform embodying the principles
and policies he proposes to follow
J it accepted by the people. This
Kingdom Platform is found in Mat-
thew—chapters 5 6 and 7.
The first three of these texts are
dealth with in this weeks lesson.
The last four will be deait with in
the lessons of the two following
Sundays.
The Nature of the Kingdom
The most important announce-
ment Jesus had to make concerning
His Kingdom was that it was to be
purely spiritual in nature and in
no sense political or material. He
never quite succeeded in getting this
idea across even with his disciples.
Even at his ascension they asked
him about restoring the Kingdom to
Israel and he pointed them to the
spiritual iiower of Pentecost. His
first "beautitude" defined the
nature of his kingdom as spiritual
and utterly different from that ol
the kingdoms of this world: "Bless-
ed are the poor in spirit for theirs
is the Kingdom of Heaven.” All of
the other • beautitudes” are the de-
velopment of this as text. Those
who in no spirit of self-righteous
satisfaction feel their poverty ol
spirit will mourn to God and be
comfrontcd: they will be meek to-
ward their fellowmen and yet in-
herit the earth; they will hunger
for the righteousness of God in
which they feel so poor and shall
be filled; they will be merciful to
their fellows and receive mercy in
return; they will be pure in heart
iseeing God as their blessing; they
will be peacemakers among their
fellows and be recognized as God's
children; they will be willing to be
persecuted fir righteousness sake
because their reward is assured in
j heaven.
The Purpose of the Kingdom
'me pm pose 01 tne lmiguom is
not to coeite uie worm but to trans-
: mrm it preserve sweeten and
ongnten it. it is put into tne cartn
as salt and light. ‘Ye are tuc salt
ot tne eartn: yd arc tht ngnl of tne
world.’* As quietly and invisioiy as
salt the kingdom is to preserve the
world from rotteuness and decay;
and as quietly and visibly as ligm
the kingdom is to brighten and en-
lighten a world lying m darkness
ami the shadowr of death.
The King declared his policy and
attitude toward all that had pre-
! cceded him to be a policy of con-
structive and perfecting harmony
and not destructive and subversive.
"Think not that I am come to des-
troy the law or the prophets: I am
not come to destroy but to fulfill."
Thus he made the commandment
'Thou shalt not kill" apply to mal-
ice of the heart as well as violence
of the hand and the commandment
against adultery he applied even to
the lustful look and inner desire of
impurity. His ideals were not low-
er but in every sense higher than
I those that preceded even to the
perfection of God as the ideal: * Be
ye therefore perfect even as your
Father which is in heaven is per-
fect."

son for Jan. 26 is Matt. 5:1-48
