PEACE AND WAR INVOLVED IN FOREIGN TRADE QUESTIONS Shifting of the World's Commercial Cap-. Ital Frem One City te Anether Has Always Produced Upheavals IT WILD be interesting te discover whether the delegates te the Ke reign Trade Con Cen Con entien, meeting in this city today, Thursday and Friday, will consider anything besides hew te sell goods abroad. This Is an important question. Little attention has been given te it by American producers In comparison with that given by producers In the elder nations. It has been customary te say that we hae been se busy developing our own resources that we have had little but our surplus te sell abroad. There has net been much manufacturing for lerelgn markets. The foreigners, however, have come here te buy what we have had te sell and we have graciously accommodated them. The English and Centum pteducers have gene out into the world markets te find cus cus teiuers. They have established banks there 10 handle the business iuul they have In cstcd their surplus tapltal in railroads and steamship lines and have sent (rained et perts te place their goods. They have bad te de thl in order te preUde work for their population, hctausc that population produced much mere than could be consumed at home. Of course, we hae exported large quan tities of American products, but until within comparatively recent jenrs these, experts were made up largely of feedstuffs. The development of our manufactures has been followed by a comparative decrease in the number of persons engaged In agriculture and a mui li larger home consumption of our feed pieducts. And the pieduet of the fac tories has been se great that we have had te begin te make a mere lgoretis scmh for foreign markets. ilut tlieie is mere te foreign trade than a search for markets or than n study of the wav te sell goods in these markets. The shifting of the balance of Interna tional trade has been responsible for many of the great international wars. Ami the world's commercial capital has for centuries been where the trade of the East met the trade of the West It was trade rlvahy between Reme and Carthage which wa icspensible for the Carthaginian wars. After the decline of Keine the gic.it inter national mart was Constantinople, and be iaue of It the Byzantine impiie nourished. The Venetians sent their sup te all the seas und wrested the truth supremacy l'lem Constantinople, after lighting ter It. The dlsceery of the w World expanded the horizon of Spain and Portugal and sent their traders te the West and the Kast. They did net win their temporary supremacy without battles. And when the Dutch began te seek trade with the East they suci ceded In making Am sterdam the commercial capital of Europe, but net without bloody contests. The adventure of the ISrltish in India was followed liv 11 diversion of trade from Am steidam te Londen te the disadvantage of Continental Europe. And while Londen was establishing her trade supremacy, Europe was tern with bloody wars growing directly out of the unsettling of the commercial and political equilibrium due te the decline of Amsterdam and the rise of Londen. At the present moment internnunnnl tiade is the subjeit which is absorbing the atten tion of the (ienea t (inference. What na tion is te prent most from trade with i:i"-ia is the question en which the innfeienie can can net agree. Eat li nation wishes te get an advantage eer the ether nations, forgetting that such an outcome would net settle the matter. It would leave a group of dissatis fied nations with giievames te be redressed. The I'nltetl States has been outside fit" the sphere of the inlluence of the great economic forces affecting the ceinmerci.il equilibrium of the world. Ilut its increasing wealth and its growing trade an- rapidly forcing It into the maelstrom, and it tannet escape the censcqiiciuvs of its ptesent 111U1 mereial strength bv billing its head in the Miiinl and pretending that there is no danger in sight. The en.y thing that can 1".j u the danger is an insistent e ,y all the nations en the epm deer in the undeveloped parts of the world. Equality of trade opportunity in Russm and China and Afnca is important for 1nternut10n.il pent". If the deb-gates te the Foreign Trade Convention consider tills sijiije, t they ma be able te make some valuable lonri.butieii te It. THE GENERAL WOOD QUANDARY SECRETARY WEEKS' cablegram te lien enil Leenard Weed makes m, evasion of the dilemma of the present (imerner of the Philippines regarding his obligation te the I'nlvcrsity of Pennsylvania. "The trustees of the rnhersiij of I'ennsjhanla," runs the explicit message, "decline te extend .lour leave of absence." While admitting' the merits of (leneral Weed's administration and the (itivernmelit's desire for Its extension, the Secretary of War significantly ndtls : "This presents a situation which ,veii alone must decide." "It will be net essar.v for me te remain until the end of the jenr. and pnssihlv a little longer." replies (Jeneral Weed, whes.. services as colonial administrator ami chief executive of a great institution of learning appear equully In demand. Manila is re ported overjoyed by the decision. The sentiments of the University trustees are conceivably otherwise, although, consid ering the patience, already displayed, It may be deemed advisable te prolong the leave of absence until borne time in l)'':s. The problem Is net exclusively embar rassing te (ieneral Weed. The Cnhcrsity also must determine where it stunds. BRIGHTENING A MEMORIAL FAR removed from Its original setting there Is little te be said for the decei ratlve propriety of the (irant Cabin near the summit of Lemen Hill, Indeed, the entire merit of this memorial, iinheautiful in itself and decidedly out of keeping with n Mulling Mirreumltngs, lies in Us patriotic and historical associations. These are unquestionably of the deepest Interest. It was la this rude structure, iilEX'V''?- . .,, . . ,c then St City Point, below Richmond en the James lllvcr, that the culminating cam paigns of the Civil Vnr were planned. llcre the commander of the Federal armies passed ninny months, exacting te the full Ids extraordinary endowment of patience and determination. President Lincoln was an occasional visitor. In n sense the un pretentious cabin was the military capital of the Natien. What It has ( lacked since Its transfer years age te Fatrmeunt Park is fitting and artistic identification. Fortunately, this want is new te be supplied by the Dames of the I.e.al Legien, Society of Pennsyl vania, who will adorn the leg house with 11 handsome brenze tablet, te be dedicated with suitable ceremonies en .lune -. A coiuinemerutlve grove of oak trees, in tribute te soldiers nnd sailors of the Civil War. will be planted nenr the cabin en the sumo day. The shrine will profit artistically by this sylvan environment. Hitherto its appeal te frequenters of the Park has been compara tively mild. The tablet and the trees will represent a deserved reawakening of inter est In n relic worth visiting, once its appeal Is duly anil effectively clarified. ANOTHER FAIR ASSET WITH mere than half n million dollars already appropriated for its new ad mini -trillion building, the Heard of Edu cation may with propriety consider the sug gestion of the Sesqul-Ccntennlul Commit tee regarding a site for the structure en the Parkway.

LOWRIti ONE of the most effective pieces of or ganizing that has ever been done In this city was the formation nnd the setting te work of the committee of women that acta as 1111 auxiliary body te the orchestra directorate. 1 always make it a point le go te the yearly meeting of the Weman's Committee of the Philadelphia Orchestra (e hear the leperts of the officers, above all te hear Miss Frances W'lster'a very able summary of the season's accomplishments. In Its way It Is quite perfect both as te technique, as a statement, and ns te the impression It Is nicely calculated te make. As chairman of that Weman's Committee she has given her fellow members nnd the city n gift of great Intrinsic worth in both leadership and example. The women tinder that leadership Rtarted out ten years age, and mere, te crciite a permanent nutlience for the orchestra, in a city that was anything but musical. Naturally if the city had been musical the orchestra already a great one ten years nge would have created its own audience, but It took something mere than music te accomplish that beie. The concerts had first te be made fashionable and then popu lar. Eventually these who subscribed be muse It was fashionable became converts te the music. Eventually, tee, these converts turned whnt hntl been merely fashionable Inte wliut was triumphantly popular. NOW, many persons who began by going te the Friday concerts because they were the vogue have forgotten nil about that side of their original motive, and nt some inconvenience go te the Saturday eve n'ng concerts becau-e they believe them te be the best. This clearly musical reason for being subs"ribets Is due te the power of goetl music ever intelligent minds during a cetnse of years, and net te any Weman's Committee; but te the far-sighted perseverance of (be Weman's Committee In gathering the first audiences the audience of tednv ewes n great debt . The guarantors could have put up the money, and the leader and ether musicians could have done their greatest, and the man agement could have lieen just ns efficient, but In the end everything depended en the kind of audience which was gathered te listen nnd en its responsibility in the matter of subscriptions. 1'heie were two or three Innovations In i maiuigenent of llmr original propaganda j tlmt may have "just happened," but which 1 weie cleverly made use of by Mls Wister ami her co-ellicials. One was the dividing ' of the iiKeresl under localities rather than ! miner social sets. 1 no milking of Wi'-t Philadelphia, of (it rmantewn, or Chester County and ether outlying suburbs respon sible through sub-committees of (heir own really recognized a very salient character istic of this agglomeration of scparat" localities that stin bears the name, of the first locality Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a collection of towns anil villages that have been absorbed into n citv but they have kept their individuality ami weik better for the city when that indi viduality Is recegnised. Oormnntewn is net the same ns West Philadelphia, nor is Seuthwark the same as Kensington In view point or in type of appreciation. The iweple of the original little town are still of the original town, though (hey have se.iueied nil ever the city lrem Chestnut Hill te Lansdewnc a. id the illrard Estate te Tor Ter ttstlale. for when a call comes te straighten up the fences of the old town and renew its sidewalks and tutbish up Us landmarks. it is they who are the ones te come In from wherever they are te de it. We think of them as the only really public-spirited I l''e of the city, but actually they ,.nie for the old landmarks because tliev were family landmarks, just as a Darby man might be siined by something out D.iibv wav mere than what was being done down 011' Frent st n ft. WELL, the Women's .Orchestra Commit tee felt this instinctively, or sietl It up shrewdly, I de net knew which, and acted en ii. Consequently they worked en the local pride of the various towns absorbed with thu main town with verv successful results Then. tee. ibev nmde a persnnel atmos phere for the orchestra leader and tue ether musicians. They saw te it that blographi blegraphi cully these uirn who gave these concerts xv etc entities, persons who net only plavetl but lived, li as much Interest had been areusitl in the public for the nn 11 who taught in the university es for the men who leaved in the eniie-tra. fiein the leader te the chap who lushes in with the music, PliMndi'lphla would have a greater uni versity . And ihe 1.' her utuqut ili.ng the committee accomplished was te biing the coming gen eration Inte touch with the music of the orchestra by the setting li lias given the rhildri u's conceits. OF COEKSE. all this was m.l accom plished by the a. ere flourish of enthu siasm nor the push of the original impetus, nor even b; the c'earlv tiffined ideals of the chairman: 11 has taken vety nireful anil -kl'lfiil and persistent fellow-up wetk diirinr all of the f n years. .lust in the ninth : of seating the big waiting li-t of timcert-geer. that new wish te be tegular Mibst rilieis; An ordinary business management tan sell season ticket's and single tickets for unsubscribed seats, but no business management of the mascu line 'ort could bother with s(.ljnB mrt. time siibseiiptieiis. 0r monieulato the seals te le left vacant ler a night or an afternoon se that a problem, itn nl waiting list of pos sible hnvn-s could be nccoiniaeilateil.
