Tjimber Indus try and
Clarification of some issues, though apparently no con
clusions on -which both sides could agree, resulted from a
debate at the Northwest Affairs Institute conducted recently
by Heed college on the question of the trane afreemem wiui
Great Britain in its relation to the,northwest lumber indus
try. CoL W. B. Greeley as spokesman for the lumbermen
mtendpd the industry had bem "'sold down live river in
the interests of other industries more influential in govern
ment circles, and cited figures calculated to prove his point
He pointed out that the lumber export of the Pacific
northwest had ahrunlc to one-fifth its former volume; that
prior to the first trade agreement with Canada exports of
- .... - m- Jl A A.
lumber were double imports, -wnereas tinoer mat areemem
irrrports were double exports, and that since the second Ca
nadian agreement look effect last January, imports from
Canada were SU times the exnorts to the British Empire.
Greeley contended that while the srorvernroesit might not
have been able to break down the British protective system,
it should be expected to protect the home market; and that
in view of the firovernment's efforts to raise wages and
working' condition standards, consistency demanded that it
protect the industry against low-standard foreign competition.
- aiCalt J sV - XlMJf w lvvl eaeveaMBBje as www --------
fired risfrt back at Greeley ith a reference to "aabotaEe of
our national policy by an industry which seeks its own ad
Tantape." He had reference to the Smoot-Hawley tariff, with
its excise on lumber obtained, he aaML by a coalition of
lumber with cooper, peiroleain and coal interests. It was
this and other irritations of the Smoot-Hawley bill which
caused the "empire i preference" program of the British
rations. i
With respect to the failure to obtain concessions in the
recent trade agreement, Grady declared every effort was
made, inckdiryr a personal request to Prime Minister Cham
berlain by Ambassador Kennedy, but that it: had been im
possible because of complications involving the Baltic conn
tries under the most-favored-nation clause; and be charged
that in the negotiators cruest of a favorable compromise the
lumber industry made not even a gesture toward cooperation.
In return for a red uc ton of intra-emoire preference on certain
commodities, the customs duties and excise tax on iimwrta
were reduced one-half, he explained, and Canada was wEDing
to eliminate the preference if the excise tax' was removed
entirely, but to this the lumber industry would not agree.
tjrarjy oemed that tne lumber mtrasrry naa oeen mjurea,
pointing to the fxt that lumber prices have recently been
higher than in 1929.
The debate drew an almost-emnty house and it is prob
able that the .points brought out, given wider potential dis
tribution, will attract about equal attention. The average citi
zen of the northwest knows only that the region's biggest
industry i ailing whereas once it prospered. Quarrel iner oyer
the cause, or over the existing trade agreement if it is the
cause, is futile; an understanding of the issues is the only
benefit to be gained now, for utilization when opportunity
to change the status quo presents itself. As for resolving to
get rid of the present state department leadership on the
; ground that it is inimical to the lumber industry, the industry
probably has already made that resolution, regardless of , .the
Graay argument, c
' Divine Guidance for Congress
Like most legislative bodies in Christian nations, the
two houses of congress ooen their sessions each day with
prayers, either by the officially-appointed chaplains or by
-other-noted clergymen. What ideas a minister of the gospel
might incorporate in a prayer on such an occasion might well
be an interesting study. At times they mention current events.
such as the death of a member
bers have before them: at other
guidance in the interests of wise legislation and good govern
tnent in a more general sense,
following prayers were offered :
In the house, by the chaplain,, the Rev. James Shera
Montgomery, DD: I
Almighty God, we praise Thee that the sun of lite, with its
aalekening rays, has again shed upon our path the glow of
"another day.' Thy merciful lore and care, our Father, are as eoa--'
stant as the starsi that never set, as the mountains that never
more, and as the tides that Beyer forget' to ebh and flow. Glory
be to Thy holy name, O Lord, most hirh. Continue to shelter as
with Thy gracious provideace, uplifting and transfiguring as
.- with the sublime consciousness of a personal God. Inspire ns to
A lore Thee with a whole heart, to serre man and hate only sin.
I As the custodians of a glorious heritage, grant that the might of
a great purpose may surge through the halls of our being. Search
us, O God, and know oar hearts; see if there is any wicked way
in as and lead ns in the way everlasting. Through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen. i
In the senate, by the chaplain, the Rev. ZeBarney T.
Phillips. DD: . !
Blessed Christ,! who has bidden us to pray for the coming
of Thy Father's kingdom, that His righteous will may be done oa
earth: Help ns to cherish this great hope even as the inspired
sonls of all the ages, who. seeing afar the shining City of God.
by faith forsook the profit of the present life to follow their
vision. As we hare mastered Nature to our advantage that we
might gain wealth, teach ns now to master onr social relations,
that we may gain Justice for all and promote true brotherhood;
for what shall It profit our Nation If. with the increase of riches. ,
we lose the sense of the presence of the living God and the Joy
;-of human kindness?. ' !
I f Accept this day the rededieatlon of as alt to this ideal of
service, for we are: determined to live by -truth and to found
our common life on the eternal foundations of righteousness
and love. Amen; f
. Following the f'Amen" each house plunges into its rou
tine labors. Occasionally there
disposed to wonder; what influence the invocation might have
upon the. proceedings that follow, and how far into the day's
events that influence, if any, might endure. One such ob
server would scornfully deny that it had even momentary
Influence; another might insist that inevitably it would have
an important part in shaping the day's events. Each of those
verdicts, if made known, would reveal something about the
observer s attitude concerning the nation, its government,
and religion. He who would deny that religious faith has at
times helped to shape the nation s destiny is indeed a cynic.
If it does so no longer, is not that a sign of decadence? f
; Self -Denial in Congress ' :
: In this era when so many groups are seeking pensions for
themselves and when the self-restraint of legislators and pub
lic officials is seriously open to question, it is heartening to
observe that the national house of representatives recently
voted, 119 to 73, against a bill which would have granted
pensions to retired members of congress.
Cosie to think about ft,

salaries, and the occupations open to a man who has served
in tha lawmaking tribunals at Washington until he is well
past the prime of life, are exceedingly limited. So if congress
men can vote-to deny themselves pensions, it may be taken as
a sizn that the ''gimme" termites which have thrived in the
financial drought since 1929, have not yet completely under

School Detnpulairy
Elementary education in Japan
is compulsory and continues over
a period -of six years. The sub
jects taught are approximately
the same as ia American gram
mar echools. To supplement this.
higher -elementary schools,, non
compulsory, have been (established
in inmiT rltifw. -town smii .trill ar-
and continue the educational work
for an additional two or three
years.
The number of school-age chil
dren attending the ordinary six
year elementary schools has risen
to the aiga figure of D9 per cent.
leaving practically no room for
Illiteracy the land. J, :
A organs of secondary -educa
tion there aire middle schools and
girls high schools, in addition to
technical schools. Soya and girls
go to acaool together in the .ele
mentary echools, but beginning
wrth the middle echtiol period.
they are separated into; boys' mid
dle schools and -girls' foigh echools.
Students of middle schools etufiy
about the aame courses as in
American high schools, But the
-irhs' echools are much less tech
nical and dveraced in their cut--riculvm
than the middle echools
for boys. Homemaklng courses
play a large part in the curricu
lum et the girls' aclioola.

leads ta tuberculosis, eye trou

examination for beys and .girls of
12 aad IS years af age seem en
tirely trnTeasenable. There Is a
tendency f parents who can af
ford it to desire to aend their chil
dren to the ee-caHed '"better
schools,' and Aoyama being one
of these, it experiences the ne
cessity of having a much larger
n-amber -ef applicants than it can

the answer is that unless they are
made difficult, how else can the

Students who complete the frve

those who have completed a tour
