Europe Celebrates
Easter Against
War Background
Jerusalem Is Mecca of
Pilgrims; Pope Pius
Broadcasts Message
By the Associated Press.
Mankind at war paused in trou
bled' Europe today to celebrate in
restrained Easter festivities the
resurrection of the Prince of Peace
nearly 2,000 years ago.
Under the shadow of guns threat
ening to speak out in the long
feared total war, Christians of all
sects raised their voices in song
and prayer amidst ceremony and
custom handed down through the
centuries.
The holy city of Jerusalem was
the mecca of thousands of pil
grims who gathered to participate
in impressive services around the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher, on
the site of the tomb from which
Christ arose.
The eyes of the Roman Catholic
world turned to Vatican City where
Pope Pius XII personally arranged
to celebrate mass in the basilica
of historic St. Peter's.
War Limits Tourists.
The war kept down the usual
throng of tourists attending the
brilliant Easter service in St. Peter’s,
but the occasion afforded the pon
tiff an occasion for another admon
ition for peace.
In his homily prepared for deliv
ery before imparting his blessing
on Rome and the world from the
balcony of the ancient edifice, the
Pope was expected to appeal for
a return of concord among nations
without, however, suggesting an im
mediate truce.
The pontifical mass, which the
Pope himself arranged to celebrate,
was scheduled to be broadcast by
the Vatican radio beginning at 8
a.m. (2 a.m. E. S. T.). The program
also called for a broadcast of the
Pope's message and benediction, be
ginning around midday (6 a.m. E. S.
T.i, with his words being heard in
the United States over a Nation
wide <C. B. S.) network. The net
work allotted an hour, from 6 a.m.
to 7 a.m. E. S. T., for this part of
the services.
The 40 days of Lent ended yes
terday with the ringing of the
belis of Rome’s 400 churches as Holy
Christ’s resurrection.
Priests went about the Eternal
City blessing homes and offices, food
shops strung their fronts with sau
sages and filled their windows with
stacks of Easter cakes for today's
feasting,
Strasbourg Choir Sings.
France's famed Strasbourg Cathe
dral Choir—its voice stilled since the
war's start—sings again today at
services in imposing Notre Dame
Cathedral while Frenchmen pray
for peace.
The venerable Abbe Hoch, who
has not seen the choir since Stras
bourg’s population was scattered
over the countryside and the city
became a ghost town on the Rhine,
joyfully greeted the members. Alsa
tian refugees all. who reassembled
in Paris for the services.
Last night Parisians jammed
trains leaving the French capital
for a holiday in the country, and
Britons poured in aboard incoming
trains to join husbands or sons on
leave from the front.
American and French churches
arranged special services, but the
music of former years was missing
because of the war.
Services were scheduled for French
troops at the front in trenches and
rear-line rest posts.
Wartime rationing put a serious
dent in Germany’s Easter egg sup
ply. Some of Germany’s Easter
customs were missing altogether.
The traditional roast lamb was a
rarity.
10,000 Weddings in Britain.
Some 10,000 weddings, with many
of the grooms and a few of the
brides in khaki or blue, featured
Great Britain’s Easter observance,
a welcome break in three dreary
months of war.
British churches, from London's
massive St. Paul’s to the tiniest vil
lage chapel, were crowded from
midnight on with wives, sisters and
mothers of men in the fighting
services.
London swapped thousands of
tired citizens for thousands of eager
visitors. Londoners jammed a full
schedule of holiday trains, making
for the seashore and quiet of the
country, while into the city poured
a mass of “provincials” and soldiers
from the British expeditionary force
or dominion troops training there.
The latter, getting their first look
at the British capital, made Easter
eve one of the gayest nights of the
war.
There was a continuous proces
sion of couples at London marriage
registry offices. From all over Eng
land came reports of similar
“booms.’
While there were record train res
ervat*ons. many Britons who had
kept their cars in storage because
of wartime gasoline rationing got
them out for the Easter week end.
Hundreds of others who couldn't
afford cars or railway tickets used
bicycles for trips to the seashore,
where many hotels and boarding
houses posted “full up” signs.
Model of Old Clippers
To Be Launched Today
By the Associated Press.
IPSWICH, Mass., March 23.—Like
a page from the past, the 92-foot
topsail schooner Caribee, modeled
from the famous Baltimore Clippers
of a century ago, will glide down the
ways tomorrow at the shipyard of
William A. Robinson, the adventurer
who a few years ago sailed around
the globe alone in a small boat;
After that exploit, Mr. Robinson
established his yard here for the an
nounced purpose of preserving in
tangible, utilitarian form some of
the best ship types of the days of
sail. The Caribee, third and largest
of the line, was built for Ernest N.
May of Wilmington, Del., and Mrs.
May was her sponsor.
Mr. Robinson believes he has in
corporated in the graceful hull all
the best features of a type of vessel
whose amazing speed under square
topsails and sloping masts found
favor in such hazardous enterprises
as blockade running, privateering
and the slave trade.
Previously launched were the Clip
per Swift and the Santa Cruz, a
reproduction of the famous Virginia
pilot boats of another era.

the power they are granting author
izes a President to increase tariffs
as well as lower them.”
Power to Increase Tariffs.
“If, by any misfortune, a high
protective Republican President
should be elected in November, he
could enter agreements with for
eign governments, increasing tariffs
at least 50 per cent,” Senator Pitt
man continued. “We have drifted
far in the delegation of legislative
power to the President. Granting
the power for these agreements
affecting matters of public welfare,
through subterfuge may abolish the
constitutional requirement regard
ing treaties.”
Elaborating on his view of the
problem, Senator Pittman said:
“I realize that there are many ad
vantages in negotiating tariffs, but
I am firmly of the opinion that these
agreements are treaties under the
Constitution and require ratification
by the United States Senate;
"There are two ways to make laws
under the Constitution—by congres
sional action or by treaties. Treaties,
of course, must be ratified by two
j thirds of the Senate. It is evident,
of course, that Congress is granting
to the President the power to make
a treaty without the requirement of
ratification. It is urged by propo
nents of the legislation that there
might be some delay in ratifying the
proposed agreements I’ll admit that
legislation is not as expeditious un
der our form of Government as it is
under totalitarian government. The
framers of our Constitution consid
ered the preservation of personal
liberty of greater importance than
expedition.
Would Set Precedent.
“If the Senate grants this author
ity to the President without the res
ervation of ratification, then it will
set a precedent under which power
could be granted for the President
to enter agreements with foreign
, governments to such extent as he
deemed the peace of the United
; States required. Such an authoriza
tion would permit the President to
enter the League of Nations or ad
here to the World Court.”
If the ratification proposal fails,
other moves may be made to require
approval of future trade agreements
by majority vote of both houses.
There is still another proposal that
may be offered, similar to the con
gressional veto clause in the Gov
ernment Reorganization Act. Under
; this plan proposed trade agreements
| w-ould be submitted to Congress, to
[ take effect after 60 days unless both
j houses passed a resolution of disap
■ proval within that time.
I,a toilette Amendment.
Before a final vote on the trade
agreement program Senator La Fol
I lette. Progressive, of Wisconsin also
will offer his amendment to create
i an export-import control board to
protect American producers and con
sumers from the effects of trade
' conditions growing out of the Euro
pean war.
The trade agreement program was
inaugurated in 1934. and under it
| agreements have been entered into
with 21 countries, in which, the Fi
nance Committee contends, conces
sions have been obtained on thou
sands of separate tariff items, pro
viding improved outlets for hundreds
of American agricultural and indus
trial products.
The backbone of the opposition
consists of a group of Western mem
bers, who contend agriculture has
suffered from the agreements. Ad
ministration supporters will chal
lenge this contention during the de
bate.

Samuel F. B. Morse had tried to interest Congress
in his invention of a telegraph for years, in
order to secure funds*for research and
construction. On the closing night of a session
of Congress which he had personally asked for
aid, he gave up and returned sadly to his home.
After he left a bill was unexpectedly passed
in his favor and in the morning Annie Ellsworth,
daughter of the Commissioner of Patents, brought
Morse the news. Oe May 25,1844, the test line was
completed from Baltimore to the Senate Chamber
and a crowd of congressmen and others saw Morse
tap out Miss Ellsworth's first message, the
now famous words, "What hath God wrought?"
Famous, too, is the creed which Hysong's
adopted in 1913 and which has been maintained
for over a quarter of a century—
one standard of service, the highest, to all
regardless of financial circumstance.
