In that sense, Christmas can be an experiej that man enjoys with all of his fellow men.

But the fullest rewards of the Christmas spirit to a man within the bosom of his own family. Here I warm glow of human affection is felt daily, and Christ comes simply as a heightening of that steady feeling. Yet the heightening of spirit is important. Men Jo have their spiritual aspect made tangible now and it. It is good for them to see their ideals ot living laid before them as shining symbols.

That is what Christmas can do for anyone. It gilds life with ceremony. So do other spn i a 1 da they are not days given over, as is Christmas, to richest expressions of love and brotherhood. It touches men with magic and make-believe. Mos it is felt in the gleaming incarnation of the day Christmas tree.

Shining and deep reds, blues, greens a golds, lightly dusted with tinsel and silver, give substai to the best imaginings and the indelible innocence youth. They speak ol a world in which good cannot wholly and forever corrupted, even in darkest plac The magic is felt, too, because Christmas is a day dreams come true. Gifts longed for suddenly are the before your eyes, wrapped in the same rich colors of fi a y. The material gain is not the thing. The real gain knowing someone understands you enough and ca enough to make your dreams realities.

With this and assurance, you may kindle bigger hopes and sj larger dreams of a sort to be fulfilled outside the lam boundaries. No one may say there is no Christmas if there is tree, if there are no gifts, if there is no ceremony. Christmas is first a thing of the inner spirit.

Development Of This Idea has Ian interesting background. It was I proposed last year by the Com- for Foreign Trade Policy, whose president is Charles Taft of Ohio. This group believes that U.

S. imports must be increased, to help foreign countries pay for Ian increased volume of American exports. They believe this is the best means to make foreign countries self-supporting and end the U. S. overseas aid programs.

The idea of Federal assistance to dislocated industry was not conceived as a permanent subsidy. The plan was for government loans ion short terms They were to help I injured industries convert to other to modernize their plants they could meet foreign competition, or to help dislocated work- jers get new jobs. All arguments were pre- 'sented to the President's 16-man on Foreign Economic Policy, headed by Clarence Randall, board chairman of Inland Steel. The commission voted the plan down 15 to one. Tlie one member who brought it was David J.

McDonald, president of the CTO Union High Tariff Business Groups were all emphatic on rhe point that 'they wanted no part of any direct government subsidy. They interested in changing their products or modernizing their plants, just to meet foreign competition All they wanted was a protective tariff. Period. iiep. Harrison A Williams.

Finally the American Tariff League gave the idea a plug in a monthly trade letter to its members.

Tariff League officials had opposed the idea when it was origmnally presented. The apparent switch caused considerable surprise and interest in Washington One opinion is that high tariff advocates have picked up the plan only to build on the idea that American business will be hurt by assistance program and are merely 1 using it now to heip kill the reciprocal trade agreements extension.
