EXPANSION OF GERMAN TRADE Some interesting figures are new available regardlag the energetic way in which Germany has gone to work to rehabilitate her foreign trade. Productiou must be running along at a brisk pace in that country as indicated by export figures, and there must be money to spend in Germany, as indicated by import figures. At the present moment Germany is actually the third best European customer the United States has, according to figures supplied by the department of comuteres. She comes immediately after France, with 'Ireat Britain still holding first place. This Increase Ia trad with Germany has taken place while trade with every ether European country, except Spain, has rhowed a marked decline. By comparison with the period Immediately preceding the war, it is seen that the United States Is selling more goods to Germany than in 1913. In the nine months ended March 13, 1913, our exports to Germany were valued at $26S.091,STS, against imports of S146.SS7.434. Since June, 1920, American commerce with Germany has not been under legal- prohibition. For nine months beginning with Jul3 1920, and end'.ng with March, 1921, our exports bfave totaled $312.1 8S.46S to Germany and our imports $70,666,128. Exports are thus $44,000,000 higher than in the before-the-war period; Imports $76,000,000 lower.

rore than the signature of a monarch. But we are thinking of the printer boy as he walked Into Philadelphia in the days when this country was still under a king. At any rate, while a parchment bearing the signature of Louis XIV brought only $3.75 at an auction in Philadelphia last week, Franklin's essay on hygrometers brought $270.

PRESIDENT HARDING SEES With the principle of disarmament most people are in sympathy. The practical know, however, that disarmament in its common meaning is a dream beyond the possibility of realization. Simple prudence forbids that any nation deliberately place itself at a disadvantage. This makes the difficulty that must be overcome if there is to be any degree of disarmament. President Harding, who subscribes to the principle which Just now Is commanding the enthusiastic support of so many, sees this clearly, as revealed in his address to the graduating class of the Naval Academy at Anterlallsm and brutality of preparing for defense. napolis: "A good deal is said nowadays about the masay to you young men of the graduating class and to the midshipmen to follow you. I know of nothing nobler in the world than the defense of one's own country." Grossly material advocates of preparedness there may be, but is there none of this condemned quality in those who would reduce military establishments to or below the danger point simply to save the cost of maintaining them? Whatever agreements the nations might come to with respect to disarmament. It Is foregone that none of them, wisely and patriotically !ed, wil consciously Jeopard its own safety. Though naval establishments are reduced it Is to be assumed that the relative strengths to which nations have attained will be held. Thereafter the effort will be to improve respective positions. Competitions in armaments neer will be abolished until the possibility of war is eliminated. The President will Join heartily In efforts to limit the armaments cf nations, but he Is too wise to believe (bat success in this direction wiil go far toward establishing that condition of peace which is so much desired.

POOR RICHARD VS. ROYALTY Benjamin Franklin, in his autobiography, tells of learning in his childhood the Biblical verse. "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before the kings; he shall not stand before mean men," and he adds that his own diligence led to Just such distinction. The lad who entered Philadelphia eating a roll in the street, carrying a bundle of clothes and looking generally so grotesque as to cause a girl who afterward became his wife to laugh at him became an ambassador who could impress mcnarchs. But the author of Poor Richard doubtless would have thought it going too far if some one had told him the day would come when the manuscript of one of his brief essays would sell for more than the signature of Louis XIV, the "grand monarch" of France. Of course, after nearly a century and a half of American independence and In view of the slump in kings since the World War, it is only the natural thing to Americans that a Franklin manuscript should create more cf a fu-

EASEBALL IDOLS AND THE LAW Babe Ruth may be a wonder at knocking home runs but that fact does not give him the right to break the traffic laws by speeding his automobile. He found out all about this when a Judge in New York sent him to Jail for a day In addition to fining him $100. The country can spare Babe Ruth or any other baseball player for cne day or even longer if there Is no other way to make him respect the laws. Popular sporting idols sometimes get the notion, perhaps, that they are set apart from ordinary folk and can do pretty much as they please. It has a good effect to let them know occasolnally that they are subject to law Just like ordinary folk.

The Speech of M. Ashby Jones, Atlanta, Ga., Rotary club Before Convention of International Association of Rotary Clubs. Body at Edinburgh, Scotland, Presenting a Rotary Banner From the Atlanta Rotary Club to the Rotary Club of Glasgow, Scotland, was as Follows: EDrXBURG. jone 16 The speech of M. Ashby Jones, Atlanta, Ga.. Rotary Club before convention of Intf rnatlonal Association of Rotary Clubs, today at Edinburgh, Scotland, presentinr & Rotary banner from the Atlanta Rotary Club to the Rotary Club of Glasgow. Scotland, waa as rollows: Mr. President and Fellow Rotarlans: I am here at this hour to fulfill a commission from the Rotary club, of Atlanta to the Rotary club of Glnsgrow. They have sent to you men of Glasg-ow our Rotary banner aa an expression of our sincere admiration and our perfect confidence that you are worthy custodians of the high and holy ideals which this flag; emblems. But, In the performance of this pleasing: duty, I am privileged to deliver through you our message to tha entire British brotherhood. There come crises in life when emotion la too profound for words, when the spirit, struggling for utterance, can only find expression for Its deeper meaning In some symbol which is sacred In association with Ua past, and prophetic of its purpose for the future. To such an hour in Us developing life haa Rotary come. Its spirit Is beginning to prevade with its subtle beauty and Irresistible force, the life of civilization. lt this flag speak for

us.

Rotary has indeed been fortunate In being able to express its fundamental idea in its emblem. Its -acred circle symbolizes the circumference of Its Interests and the completeness of Its purpose. One who knows the personnel of a community may glance around a Rotary table and note that the full-orbed lntereits of that community are represented. Each man present has a meaning larger than his proflt-mak!ng enterprise. He is thero not for himself alone, but represents the entire phase of the Industrial or professional life to which he belongs. This Is fundamental to any clear understanding of the Rotary spirit. A Rotarian Is more than an Individual. lie is a representative revealing in his personality the rights, ambitions, and purposes of others. This is a Rctarian essential because tt is an essential element In the growth of the character of any man. One expanda only by widening the circumference of his sympathies to Include the hopes and purposes of others. There is nothing which so dignifies personality and challenges the dormant powers, as the consciousness of being responsible for the highest Interests of others. For a man lives where he thinks. His lire is determined by his convictions and bounded by the radius of his Interests. His community, his nation, . indeed his world, lies within these limitations and can be no larger than his own personality. Rotary faces the truth, that to build a big town or a big nation, you must first build a bis

manhood. But Rotarlans ara not Pharisees. w do not claim to be the beat In our community. We only strive to represent the- best. However, In the very effort to represent that which la best, we hope to approach our lofty ideal of citizenship. So. as one aits at a Rotary table, conscious of the honor and Interests of his own line of business, his eyes wander around the circle formed by other Interets and enterprises, and he must be lnsiantly possessed with the sense of being a part of that larger circumference. Here, indeed, should be found the very heart of the community. It should be a heart sensitive to every plain t of need, responsive to every call for heroic accomplishment, and vibrant to every challenge of opportunity. No voice which Is the utterance of an interest of this community should be alien to the circle. Here should be heard the plaint of the half-nourished babe, the call of the unprivileged boy out of the darknesa, the appeal for laughter and play of cramped and confined childhood, and every protest against Injustice. Here, all should find a fcrum where their voices could be clearly and sympathetically understood. Rotary must represent human life with its eager enterprises, its vaulting ambitions, and the divine yearnings and aspirations of its great, throbbing heart It ia in the world not to b served but to serve. In this Interpretation I have placed my emphasis upon the idea of representation. To my mind this Is tha genius of our English democracy. The Continental democracy of the eighteenth century, and the Infantile cries of democracy in eastern Europe today are intensely Individualistic. It la a babel of conflicting cries "confusion worse confounded' each uttering tha language of his own need, unconscious of tha needs of others. But if democracy ever pauses -with Individual assertion no matter how fine may be the primary Instinct of liberty which gave it utterance It can only exchange tyranny ?rr anarchy. The idea expressed in Rotary Is that while each man demands representation for his own rights, he himself Is bound in turn to be the representative of tho rights of others. This is the fundamental law of liberty, for liberty cannot live without law. If liberty is the unhampered expression of a man's life, he must. In some way, learn to harmonize his Interest- with those of others, else these conflicting interests will limit and obstruct the free expression of his powers. So only as one comes Into the consciousness that his highest Interests are Indeed the Interests of others, and that In serving their Interests, he serves his own. does he come into that largest liberty. It is this which makes democracy social. So long as the growth is simply an Individual force for freedom, it can only contribute to friction of interests. But when it represents not simply a personal privilege, but expresses a personal responsibility, democracy at once becomes the leavening principle of civilization. The German empire waa the deadliest enemy of liberty in the world, always she was essentially anU-soclal. She repn ed an Intense, self-centered individualism among nationa. Her voice, asserting her own interests and aspirations, waa so loud as- to drown the utterance of the rights of every other people. Vhen she struck her ruthless blow at France she was unconscious of the fact that that blow quivered through the

nerval s of tha social orgaalsm of cl-r-Ulzatlon Itself. And re wm that blow which awakened the peoples of tho world to the consciousness that their common Interests were In Jeopardy, and made the fields of Flanders and of France the rendezvous for tho triumphant armies of human freedom. If I have In any measure truly Interpreted this circled emblem, It must be clear that auch a spirit could never become Imprisoned with limits of any neighborhood, that It could never become Imprisoned within any provincial lines, nor can It be halted by any political prejudices. Ho one club can be a complete circle. Each Is but a segment of a largtr circle, which must Inevitably Include all that is highest and holiest In the Ideals of its national life. For this reason we have dared to cross the ocean to deliver to you a message from America. And wa dare affirm that, better than any political party or any purely commerical organization, ara we fitted to express our national spirit. Prior to 1917 thoughtful people were still asking the question whether there was any such thing in our American life aa . national oonclousneea. Hitherto nationality had been the creation or one Dlood. one language, and one land. But with us In America, with our cities a babel of tongues, ajid our homes a meajey of memories running back to alien pasts and strange lands, this definition was without meaning. And men anxiously asked. "When the supreme hour of our country's need shall come shall wo find a national spirit which shall make us one. and a binding national passion which, shall furnish a common Impulse for a great common purpose?" That question received a atartllng and over whelming answer, when from the dense populations of our cities and the limitless horizons of our plains, from the rock-ribbed hills of Kew England and the pillared porticoes beneath the blending blue of southern skies, boys of every tongue ans tribe, of every creed and custom, heard the call of America and poured a ceaseless current of khaki across the Atlantic to make St. Mlhlel and the Argonne forever sacred In tho story of the fight or the freedom of the world. I repeat thy heard the voice of America. But what was its compelling challenge? It waa not the call of a common past, nor the sympathetic utterance of a common language. America is not a lineage, nor a language, nor a land. America Is a lofty ideal of human freedom which challenges the nobility of men's spirits in every land and In every language to a great human service. And I am convinced that the day wa lose tho vision of that Ideal we shall lose our nationality. We shall destroy tho subtle, spiritual tie which binds, and become a chaos of conflicting Interests and an easy prey to provincial passions and alien ambitions. Brothers of Britain, there are ponding no better piace ior American Rotarlans to pledge anew their loyalty to their national Ideal than here on British soli. For lt was here In the Infancy of democracy our fathers first learned to lisp the language of liberty, and took their first steps in constitutional freedom. Brohters of Eritaln, there are pending between our governments now, and always will be. Issues of conflicting Interests. But they are of the same nature aa those differences between sections and parties in each country, which make for wholesome conflict of opinion In every true democracy. It Is easy to trace the sinister suggestions that these differences might lead to a tragedy of war. Such a thought could only be fathered by a diabolical desire. Our differences are commercial, our agreements run back through the centuries to a common origin In the well-spring of Anglo-Saxon devotion to Justice and constitutional freedom. Our sons have

already met on the same flel et battle, but their faces were turned to the same foe, and their blood was poured as a libation upon the same altar. Lt those graves across the channel. -fcer sleep the sons cf Britain and America, be our pledge and prophecy for the fu. ture. And the Inspiration for this faith Is to be found In the quality of comradeship of this gathering. The spirit of Rotary is abroad and shall yet permeate the peoples of tho earth. We have been disciples learning our lesson. Today from this mountain top wo receive our commission to go unto all the nations and teach them that citlzenuhlp means service and that a nation, no mere than an Individual, can shirk its world-wide responsibilities and keep company with civilized peoples. Tho Rotary circle 1 widening. Its horizon rhaJl be lifted unm lis clrcfed care shall include within lfs sheltering chivalry the peoples of all the world. Tes. Rotary Is American. But Rotary is Just truly British. Men of Glasgow this flag which I present to you is never so beautiful nor so meaningful as when it etands. as It does today. wber lt can reflect the rich, regal red of your tTnlon Jack while at the sam time, lt can catch the light of the radiant stars of Old Glory. Nor can Its spirit and principles find a perfect expression In the life of men until they can find s perfect translation in the language of the English-speaking democracies of the world.
