This is a radiophoto from Berlin. U/* JQucJc/uui SUMMARIZES THE WORLE SUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK C Western Newspaper Union. Adolf Hitler Hitler Defies the World P OLITICAL turmoil spread over Europe after Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler, in an address to the reichs- tag, declared his intention to make Germany one of the most powerful na tions in the world, gave warning that it was re-arming and did not fear war though it desired peace, and demand ed the return of Germany’s lost col onies. Furthermore, Hitler upheld the ag gressive actions of Italy and Japan, and asserted that Germany would not tolerate ultimate victory of the loyalist faction in Spain over Fran co’s rebel forces. The Fuehrer told with gratifica tion of his success in compelling Chancellor Schuschnigg to give the Austrian Nazis representation in his cabinet and to permit them to act as a political party. He gave no assurance that the independence of Austria would be preserved. He openly threatened similar action against Czechoslovakia unless the Germans in that country were granted “political liberty.’’ Hitler’s speech might be summar ized as a declaration that Germany will ignore Great Britain, France and other western powers in carry ing out her international policies, will continue her efforts to destroy the last vestiges of the general set tlements which followed the World war; will insist that the “have not” nations must be restored to a basis of equality with the “have” pow ers, and is prepared to defy any combination of powers which may be formed against her. Here are some of the other things Hitler told the reichstag: Germany refuses to accept “cred its or other promises” in substitu tion for the colonies taken from her by the treaty of Versailles. Reports of dissension between the Nazi hierarchy and the Reichswehr are “nonsense” and in his new role as supreme commander of the Reich’s armed forces he has decid ed to “strengthen the army to pre vent the menace of war.” Germany’s relations with Great Britain can not be improved so long as British statesmen and newspa pers attempt to meddle with what the Reich regards as its own in ternal affairs. Germany has no intention of re turning to the League of Nations. —*— Halifax Succeeds Eden T> EFUSING to go along with Prime Minister Neville Cham berlain in his plans to “buy” a friendly settlement with Germany and Italy, Capt. An thony Eden, British foreign secretary who has fought the ambitions of Euro pean dictators for two years, resigned from the cabinet. With him went Vis count Cranborn, the principal foreign un dersecretary- V i s- count Halifax was appointed to suc ceed Eden temporarily. This change was in effect another triumph for Hitler, was especially regretted by France, and threatened to precipi tate a serious crisis for the British government. Viscount Halifax, lord president of the council and former viceroy of India, is a personal friend of Hitler and an insistent advocate of imme diate friendship with Germany and Italy, even at the cost of great con cessions by Britain. He was sent to Berlin not long ago to talk over matters with the Nazi leaders. Eden told the house of commons that he had resigned rather than deal with Italy in the face of Pre mier Mussolini’s "rife, hostile prop- Lord Halifax aganda” against Britain and II Du- ce’s “glorification” of victories in Spain. Chamberlain boldly told the house of commons that his government would begin negotiations with Italy at once in hopes of obtaining a friendly settlement. He put forward a four-power peace plan designed to eliminate the dangers of war in Eu rope. As members of the pact, he ad vocated Germany, Italy, France, and Britam. Chamberlain went to Buckingham palace and gave King George his account of the events leading up to Eden’s resignation, and then sum moned Dino Grandi, Italian ambas sador, to a conference. With them were Halifax and Sir Alexander Cadogan, permanent undersecre tary for foreign affairs. It was learned that the break between Chamberlain and Eden came to a climax a few days before when Grandi and the prime minister had a conference concerning the basis on which negotiations might be opened for a general understand ing between London and Rome. Some British leaders feel that agreement with Mussolini for Medi terranean security would give Brit ain a stronger hand in dealing with Germany on the question of col onies. French Worried, DREMIER CHAUTEMPS and oth- ^ er high French officials saw, in Hitler’s words concerning German minorities in other lands a definite threat against Czechoslovakia, a military ally of France, whose se curity the French -are bound to de fend. There are about 3,000,000 Ger mans in that country. From Prague, the Czech capital, came word that Czechoslovakia would not even negotiate with Ger many regarding autonomy for those Germans and would not yield to co ercion as did Austria. Officials said that if negotiations are Hitler’s aim, they would be regarded as “in fringement of Czechoslovakia’s sov ereignty, and therefore not accept able.” As for the prospective British- Italian agreement, the French gov ernment was fearful that Chamber lain's overtures to Mussolini would take a course that France could not follow without risk of alienating its own Socialist and Communist ele ments. The government, however, was determined to keep unbroken its close relations with Britain. For Price Increases IJEFORE going to Hyde Park for a short vacation, President Roosevelt announced two moves de signed to restore prosperity. He declared the administsation’s eco nomic policies are being directed toward a limited increase in prices, to be achieved without inflation or any substantial increase in the cost of living. He ordered the Reconstruction Fi nance corporation to renew its lend ing to industry and the railways. The President specifically men tioned farm prices as needing to be increased. On the other hand, he said certain other prices, such as those in the building industry, have remained at a high level for the last few years. No specific monetary action is contemplated to increase those con sidered too low, he added. Earle Wants Toga OOV. GEORGE H. EARLE of Pennsylvania announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomi nation for United States senator, standing on his record as governor and continued support of the Roose velt administration. “If elected a member of the sen ate, I shall continue my services on behalf of the principles which have marked the Roosevelt administra tion and my own administration id Harrisburg,” Earle said. THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1938 Kennedy Now Ambassador JOSEPH P. KENNEDY took the oath as ambassador to Great Britain in the office of President Roosevelt and will soon leave for his new post. He resigned as chair man and member of the maritime commission and Mr. Roosevelt ap pointed as new heqd of that body Rear Admiral Emory S. Land of Colorado, retired chief of the navy’s bureau of construction, who has been a member of the board since last April. To fill out Kennedy’s term the President selected Max O’Rell Truitt of St. Louis, who has been the commission’s counsel. Mr. Kennedy apparently lost out in his squabble with Secretary of Labor Perkins concerning legisla tion to curb labor disorders in the American merchant marine. Both of them appealed to the President but that gentleman did not indicate his stand on the pending bill which Kennedy favored and Madame Per kins and the C. I. O. opposed. Ortiz Ihdugurated R OBERTO O. ORTIZ was inaug urated president of Argentina for a six-year term, and pledged himself to maintain democracy. In a speech to the congress he said: “As a candidate I ratified my faith in democracy. That implied a sol emn promise to respect liberty and guarantees of the constitution.” He went on to say that only a strong people can maintain peace and justice under present world con ditions. Therefore, he added, devel opment and perfection of armed In stitutions and moral reserve at the nation would be his special preoccu pation. Army Planes' Great Flight S IX bombing planes of the United States army air corps success fully completed an epochal mass flight of 6,000 miles from Miami, Fla., to Buenos Aires. The only intermediate stop was at Lima, Peru. From there the bombers roared over the snow-capped Andes and landed at the Argentine capi tal, where thousands cheered the aviators. The planes carried 48 men besides the flight commander, Lieut. Col. Robert Olds. —♦— Wallace Gets Busy CECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE ^ WALLACE is losing no time in putting into effect the new farm law which gives him increased ppwers over production. He announced the 1938 marketing quotas for cotton and two types of tobacco to b^art with. The na tional cotton acre age allotment was set at approximate ly 26,369,000 com pared with last year’s planted acre age of 34,383,000. Wa „ ac . The flue cured to- Sec. Wallace bacco quota was fixed at 704,000,- 000 pounds, compared with the 1937 production of 850,000,000 pounds. The quota for dark tobacco was set at 145,000,000 pounds. These quotas will remain in ef fect through the marketing year, subject to approval by two-thirds of the affected producers. Referenda among the -producers are scheduled for March 12. Cotton acreage allotments will be apportioned among individual farm ers by local committees of produc ers. Rescued from Ice Floe C'OUR Russian scientists, who * spent nine months at an observa tion post near the North pole, were rescued, with their records and equipment from their ice floe that was drifting along the east coast of Greenland. This ice raft had car ried them more than a thousand miles and was reached with diffi culty by icebreaking vessels. The meteorological and hydro- graphic records compiled by the sci entists in their vigil through the arc tic night are expected to help Rus sia in plans for regular transpolar flights from Russia to the United States. Rumania Goes Fascist R UMANIA is now a ’Fascist cor porative state of guilds pat terned after Italy. This was settled when Kirg Carol proclaimed the new constitution, which provides for a parliament com posed of guilds of farmers, workers and intellectuals. Both the chamber of deputies and the senate are reduced in size and election of members is to be by trades and pro fessions, not by po litical parties. The king will appoint half the senators and will have veto power over all legislation. All Rumanians are de clared equal, with radical distinc tions, and religious freedom is granted with the Orthodox Ruma nian church as the state religion. Trials by jury are abolished and the death penalty reintroduced for certain crimes. The constinition was created by Rumania’s powerful crown council, a special body established by King Carol to define general policies and chart the course of parliamentary measures. Carol and Dr. Miron Cristea, head of the nation’s latest cabinet, collaborated in drawing up the constitution. King Carol ADVENTURERS’ CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF! “HeiZ Underground?’ By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter H ello, everybody: Here’s a detectjve who had a hobby. And because he had w hobby, he caught a man. And because he caught a man, he came mighty darned near losing his life. The way I’ve set that down makes it sound a little like that old nursery favorite of yours and mine. The House That Jack Built. But as a matter of fact, it’s “The Story That Jack Told.” Fellow Adventurers, meet Jack Shea of New York City. And listen to the yarn he’s going to spin us. In the spring of 1922, Jack was working for a well-known detective agency. He told me the name, but he wants me to leave it out, because —well—detective agencies don’t like too much publicity about the cases they handle. This agency sent him out on a case for which he was es pecially adapted. Jack’s hobby is fungi—you know, mushrooms, toadstools and the like. The job he was to do was to run down a fellow named Frits—last name also omitted by request—a fellow six feet two inches tall, light complexion, military bearing and—like Jack— interested in fungi. Found His Man in a Michigan Mine. Jack traced Fritz to an address in Camden, N. J., and from there to St Louis, Mo. From there the trail led through Chicago, Milwaukee, Hancock, Mich., and finally ended in Calumet, Mich., where Jack was told that Fritz was working in a copper mine called the Quincy shaft. It was the spring of 1923, a year after he had started, when Jack finally got to the same town his man was in. But still he didn’t know what the man looked like. He got a job as assistant timekeeper at the mine and began looking the miners over. Then, one day, Jack found a bed of fungi down in the mine shaft. He picked up a handful of them and carried them to the surface. He car ried them around until he saw a man who answered Fritz’s general de- A Five-Gaited Horse A five-gaited saddle horse must show the walk, trot, canter and rack; in addition, one of the follow ing three fancy gaits—the running walk, the slow pace or the fox trot. The rack is a very showy gait, and very easy on the rider, but it is difficult for the horse since it is a four-beat gait—that is, each foot hits the ground independent of the other three. Growth of Fish Fish culturists who have studied the growth of fish claim that a large-mouthed black bass one year old averages 5-7 inches; when it is three years old 9.9 inches; five years, 12.8 inches; seven years, 14 inches; ten years, 16.6 and if it lives to sixteen years it measures 20.5 inches.

Ready to Bring It Down on Jack’s Cranium. acription eyeing the fungi with interest. He stopped Jack and told him the species was poisonous and shouldn’t be eaten. Then Jack was pretty sure he had his man spotted. Jack stood talking to the man for a while. They got along great be cause they had a common interest. Before they parted they made an appointment to go down into the mine on the following Sunday to look for fungi. They took one of the stationary engineers into their confidence and he agreed to lower them down in a mine car. Down 7,200 Feet Into the Earth. That Sunday they met at the mine entrance at 10:30 a. m. The sta tionary engineer—a fellow named Barry—was there, too. They climbed into the car and were soon at the bottom, 7,290 feet below the earth. “We explored the bottom of the mine for about a quarter of a mile,” says Jack, “with carbide lamps on our hats and wearing rubber coats. The temperature was about a hundred degrees, since the farther you go down the warmer and more humid it gets. When we had been there about twenty-five minutes and had found a few specimens of fungus, we returned to the car for the trip back. “As we got into the car I noticed a copper ingot lying on the floor and wondered how it got there. Those ingots weigh about forty pounds apiece and come in a size that can be conveniently stacked along the railroad sidings for shipment. I took the top seat, way up in the front of the car. Fritz took the second seat from the rear end where the bells and buttons which signalled the engineer were attached. The car started moving and went half way up the slope, drawn by the metal cable from above. Then it stopped suddenly. I didn’t know it then, but Fritz had halted it with a signal.” He Was About to Brain Jack. When the car stopped Jack turned to look at Fritz. That move saved his life. For there was Fritz, the copper ingot in his hands, holding it high above his head, ready to bring it down on Jack’s own cranium. Somehow he had found out that Jack was a detective out to get him—and he was going to get Jack first if he could. “I ducked,” says Jack, “and the ingot hit me a glancing blow on my left shoulder. I was stunned for a minute, nevertheless. My senses left me, but I must have fought on automatically, for when I came to again I found myself half out of the car gripping the edge with my fingers while Fritz was trying to break my grip and throw me over the side. "Usually I carried a small automatic revolver, but this time I had orders to bring my man back alive and hence carried a different sort of weapon. It was a .25 caliber gun loaded not with ordinary bullets but a cartridge that carried a chemical compound instead of a bullet. “When it heated it flowed over the flesh in a good imitation of blood. “I got that gun out and fired it. It gave a loud report and sprayed Fritz’s hands with the concoction. When he saw that he said, ‘Stop—I’m shot’ and gave up the battle.” Fritz didn’t know he actually hadn’t been shot until he was back at ground level again and Jack had him safely locked up in a mine store room. Later he was taken to the local jail and, later still, extradited to the state that wanted him for trial. “He was sentenced to jail for twenty years at hard labor,” says Jack, “but that doesn’t half make up for the forty years’ growth he scared me out of.” Copyright—WNU Service. Latin Mottoes on Great Seal On the obverse of the Great Seal of the United States is the familiar motto, “E Pluribus Unum,” trans lated, “One from Many.” On the reverse are two Latin mottoes. The one above the design is “Annuit Coeptis,” translated as “He (God) Prospered Our Endeavors.” The lower one is “Novus Ordo Seclor- um” and is translated as “A New Order of the Ages." Crystal Palaee Foundation Saved The famous Crystal palace in Lon don, which was built for the Exposi tion of Arts and Industry of 1851, was destroyed by fire on Novem ber 30, 1936. The entire structure was burned with the exception of the crystal fountain.

HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS One of the difficulties we mortals face in dealing with spiritual things is that we interpret things in the realm of the spirit according to the principles and measurements of the physical world. We are quick to say “We cannot” on the basis of logical human reasoning, when an appreciation of the power of God operative on our behalf would en able us to say “We can,” and hav ing left God out of our thinking we find that indeed we cannot. The lesson before us presents two pictures from our Lord’s second vis it to his home country, Nazareth. On His first visit they had tried to thrust Him over the precipice, and He in all the glory and poise of the Son of God had walked through their midst and gone His way. Now He comes again with His disciples. We then see how His home folk virtual ly made the power of the omnipo tent God impotent because of their unbelief. On the other hand we see the weakness of men made mighty because of obedience to the com mand of God. I. The Paralysis of Unbelief (w. 1-6), The world, the flesh, and the devil have brought forth a dark list of wicked things, but perhaps the most destructive and distressing of all is the foundation sin of unbelief. When we think back to the underlying reason for any sin or weakness in man it will be found that there is failure to believe God. Men do not believe what He says about sin and its penalty, nor do they believe Him when He offers them grace and strength for victory. At Nazareth the unbelief which limited the Son of God revealed it self in two questions— 1. “Whence hath this man these things?’’ (v. 2). They could not deny His mighty works so they turn their attack on His person. “Is not this the car penter?” (v. 3). Essentially this was envy, “the difficulty of ac knowledging the superiority over themselves of one of their own num ber” . , , (Morgan). We are ashamed of the attitude of the men of Nazareth, but we follow in their footsteps. Heavy among the burdens a . Christian worker must bear is the unbelief and ridicule of his own people. Be cause a man has sold us groceries, or painted our house or driven a taxi in our town we cannot see how he could ever be a preacher or a missionary. Well, he can, and it is such folk that God often calls. 2. “What is this wisdom?” (v ( 2). The wisdom of Jesus was the wis dom of God (John 7:16). But how could they know that? How can we know? In John 7:17 Jesus gave the answer: “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.” We see then that the reason for their unbelief was really an unwillingness to do the will of God. The controlling motive of their life was wrong. Had they been moved by a desire to do God’s will, and a purpose to live in accordance therewith (even though there might have been failure in that earnest effort), they would have known that Jesus had His wis dom from God. H. The Power of Divine Commis sion (w. 7-13). Just an unbelief hinders even the Son of God, so faith in God and obedience to His command makes of weak and poorly equipped men the mighty servants of God. In fact, their very dependence on Him for all things sets them free to devote themselves fully to the ministry of preaching and healing. Note that they went “two by two.” We have forgotten that di vine plan, and often send men into remote and dangerous pioneer work —alone. Man needs fellowship; he needs counsel and control. Consider also how they* were to learn to trust God for their daily sustenance (w. 8,9). They suffered ro lack (see Luke 22:35). These rules for the life of religious work ers were modified later (Luke 22: 36), but the principle remains the same—the man or woman who is not ready to depend on God for everything had better not set out to follow Him.
