The worst feature of President Taft. tariff wars is that they are apt to induce strained relations between the countries engaging in them, and in the case of the United States such a contingency is feared from the present proposals. So for as Britain is concerned, she would obviously come within the countries dealt with by the United States under, most-favoured-nation treat ment, the more so since it is the known policy of the present British Government not to depart from Free Trade principles. Whatever views may be held on the wisdom of this attitude, it must be conceded that adhesion to Free Trade robs the country of a weapon with which to fight. On the other hand, there can be no questioning the point that universal Free Trade would be of worldwide benefit, but, in spite of periodical advocacy of tariff reduc- tions, the tendencies of the age would appear to be in the other direction.

Chief of the fallen angels, in Arabian mythology, is Eblis, whose name means "despair."

From the Koran we learn that after God had created man he ordered all the angels to bow down and worship him. The angel Azazel alore re- fused, saying: "Me thou hast created of smokeless fire, and shail I reverence a creature made of dast?". Whereat God' was angered, and turned him into a devil, giving him the new name of Eblis.
