NdEITHER Wood:ow Wilson nor

ed Into history, whose Judgment on
them it would be folly to try to fore
tell. Nevertheless, much of the record
of the presidency is made up and
closed, and may be summarized at
least, although it is perhaps foolhardy
to venture into the flames of passions
that blind men alike to the merits and
demerits of almost every president
while he remnains the cedtral figure of
partisan strife. "A statesman is a
politician who is dead," said Thomas
B3. Reed.
Jn this age of ours, when men are
going to school to learn business and
farming and all mariner of vocations,
it was natural that there should appear
in the White House a man like Wood
row Wilson, who had learned politics
in the classroom rather than in the
wardroom. The eighth of our Virginia

a Virginian, but the son of an Ohio
clergyman and of an English mother
was a student or teacher of the sci

30 years before he held a political
otilee.
That fact was left out of their reck

rupt, mach ine-ru led New Jeirse~y when
they summioned the presidenit of Prince

afternoon in thme fall of 19I(0 to receive
the nomination for governor. When

ing to run their machine. They laugh
ed1 out 10'1d whlena they saw him actual
ly sit dIown in the governor's chair and
begin to [play p)olitics out of a hook.
Of all thinga, it was a book which he
hiimiself had written in his youthful
school days merely as a thesis for his
Ph.D). at Johns Ihopkins. The young
gradluate-studient made thme dilscovery
that our Constitution created a vac
uum, which the bosses had rushed in
to fill.
Abmis, popular leadlership is neither
a science nor an art that can be taught
out of ai book.
' Where oilier leaders of our democ
racy have appealed to the emotions, he
is one of the least electric, least dra

general imagination, ie owes hia va
rious successes at the ipolls to the cold
logic of the po'liticatl situation andl little
to his popularity. Is academic aloof
nbe.s from politics, at a time when pol
iticians had fullen into disfavor, made
him the available man for governor in
1910. As a candidate for presidient, he
ran a poor second to Champ (Clark in
the popular primaries of 19112. He was
niominatedl at Baltimore only after 45
ballots, find then only as a result of
Ilryan's ove'rthrow of the steam roller.
And he was elected by the division of
the Itepubl icans between Ito(.sevel t and
Taft, though he receivedh a smalher vote
than the Democrats had polled in
three past elections.
It Is the tragedy of Woodrow Wil

Ottro.--,Busness men in Egyt, es
pecially foreigners, pay very little at
tention to the political situation. Tihey
adnit, of course, that the unsettled
conditiotes of a year ago, as well as
the general lack of knowledge of what
the future holds for Egypt, is a deter
rent to free commercial intercourse.
The chief cause for business worry
at this writing is the decline in cot
ton prices plus the general Interna
tional shmp in trade. The two events
coming at the stune time work more
than ordinary hardship to the business
life of Egypt.
One business man remarked that
people in Egypt realized that the
trade of the worid was in a bad state;
that prices were falling the whole
world over, and that there was a gen
eral stagnation in buying. But, he
continued, "other countries have
usually more than one industry upon
which to exist. Here in Egypt we
must live or die at the whim of King
Ootton. This whim is not left in our
power to control. We grow the cot
ton, and Lancashire and Manchester,
as well as your big tire fabric centers
at home, manipulate the buying price.
Of course, every one in Egypt with
a grain of common sense, realizes
that the law oi supply and domqund
sules; but, depending as it does upon
one industry, the bostness life of the
community is more or less lef' open
to unusual perils when that one in
dustry falls."
Bulk of Business LIe.
Thi-s business man was engaged in
the wholesale supply of sundries and
novelties. His point of view may be
accepted as that of such traders in
general-those who buy in Europe,
Anortca or Japan and import the
goods to Egypt for local consumption.
This work constitutes the bulk of the
business life of the community. It is
not the greatest In point of wealth,
however, when one figures the Im
mense amounts involved in the col
lecting, ginning and exp.ortation of
raw cotton. Egypt's normal cotton
crop is hIndled by about a dozen
large British and Levantine firms,
with headquarters in Alexandria.
These latter have been the biggest
sufferers, bitt only fron lack of some.
thing to do. They rarely invest their
money in cotton before the selling sea
son openR, when the goods come from
the field.
As the drop in cotton prices began
almost at the beginning of this qea
son, the big brokers were thus not
caught with a great amount of stock
on hand. The tmerchtandise dlealers,
onf the contrary, conttinueld their b~uy
lug tight up to November and are
even now being loadeds uip with stockc,
if paid for before shiptment, or with
obligations if shippedl against dlocu
mtents. This is spelling ruin for somte
of the largest houses. Many serious
failuires have occurred, and in Cairo
niotne three depat-tment stores have
gone into bank-ruptcy. It is the gent
ertal oplinionl that the worst period htas
p~assedl. Those who have gone thrtought
the crisis, either honornbly or dis~hont
(Irably, will, it is believed, live to see
another period of fair business
weather.
It is c'ommtt)fm talk here that in busi
ness tnornlity Egypt does not compare
v'ery favorably with tiny other big
colonial inarket. Apologists for the
country point to the large numbuler of
races engaged in comm ierce. Syri an s
andl Armnenians, .Jews from Spain, Ruts
sin, Germany, Greece, Smtyrna andl
Palestine; Arabs, Greeks, Biritish,
Arnericans, F'rench and Italians nil go
to tmake up the conmmercial life of
the place. It is a five-language coun
try in business. F'irst and most im
portant, of coutrse, is Arabic; then
come French, Italian, Greek and Eng
lish.
Growth of American Trade.
American trade with Egypt has
made~4. wondlerful progress, considering
the fact that before the war this mar
ket rarely knew American goods. The
bulk of the shipments arriving from
home, however, in 1920 consisted of
coal from Newport News and flour
fromt the North. American aiutomno
iles have captured the market, but
no high-priced American cars are in
evidenice. It is explained that the
eenper to mniddle-lpricedi American car
is a muore attractive purchase to the
