National Presa Building Washington, D. C
Washington.—It Is never easy or
. «lmple to attempt a forecast of the re-
“actions of a nation
Issue Drawn as large as ours.
for 1936 There are so many
cross-currents, so
many local Influences and factors at
work that the popular reaction some
times, usually in fact, is slow In crys-
talizlng. Thus, It appears safe to say
at this writing that the administra
tion's future course on NRA and other
New Deal policies concerning which
there is constitutional doubt necessari
ly must provide a basis for the 1036
campaign.
Yet, certainly it can surely be said,
that the issue Is .now drawn and that
the battle next year will be between
radicals and conservatives; between
those who favor constitutional govern
ment and those who think our nation
has gone beyond the considerations
laid down by the founding fathers, and
between those who regard American
traditions and practices as worth de
fending and ah opposit+fci constituted
wholly of those who desire to reipake
our modes of living.
In these days of swdCtly changing
conditions in Washington, one can ob
serve certain outcroppings in the nu
merous controversies and the. wild con
fusion. and these point definitely in one
direction. They indicate the break
up, the disintegration, of the old po
litical parties. It is too early to pre
dict whether our two-party system will
continue even under the names of
Democratic and Republican. Certainly
If those two names continue they will
shield under their banners eventually
an entirely different party leadership
and party personnel.
Proof of this contention lies in the
numerous statements, suggestions and
trial balloons that have floated about
—all serving as feelers in the direc-
-4ion of a coalition among opposition to
the New Deal. It Is to be noted that
among those who have put out feelers
about coalition have been some very
well known names, both among Demo
crats hikI Republicans. These moves
probably will not develop into impor
tant activities but they constitute
stwiws showing which way the wind
blows.
All of the above is by way of saying
that Mr. Roosevelt ns the head and
forefront of the New Deal Is at the
parting of the ways. Soon, he must
choose whether he will align hiiqself
definitely and completely with the rad
ical element as 'typified by the Tug-
wolls, the Rich bergs, the Wheelers and
I.a Toilettes or whether he will turn to
the philosophies of the old-line-JefTer-
fionlun Democrats, most of whom come
from what used to be the Solid South
Insofar as DPmocrfltlc voters were con,
cerned. He must make this choice be
cause It Is no longer possible.for him
to ride two horses, successful as he
flexible to cover life as we now live
it . From sober-thinking individuals,
I gather that this is the point which
must be developed fully in advance of
the November elections of,.1936.
Consequently, some observeis be
lieve the campaign next year ought to
be on a higher plane than any In re
cent history. They point to, tha fact
that determination of the question Just
outlined above carries with it the col
lateral determination of whether
the United States shall be one vast
empire with ^ate lines virtually ob-
JAtorated. Likewise, determination of-
the question referred to will bring
an answer to a further question, name
ly, whether the American people de
sire that their government shall con
trol individual' businesses or whether
those businesses and the practices of
the citizenry shall be permitted to
continue as was the desire of the col
onists when they fought off the armies
of King George.
• • • • ' • • •
But there will be some sixteen
montlriTof time that must elapse be
fore the American
Problems people can express
to Solve their opinion and
their wishes at the
polls. In that interim, pressing prob
lems resulting from the New Deal
program must be solved.
At the moment, what to do with
NRA as well as how to do it stands
foremost. Behind It lies troublesome
questions centering in the farm poli
cies of the Agricultural Adjustment ad
ministration. Permeating the. very
structure of the New Deal is the broad
er question of whether it is desirable
to continue so many of the alphabetical
agencies as permanent units i)IL 1 4he^
government since each of them was
created in response to a plan necessi
tated by desires for economic recovery.
NRA will be continued in a skeleton
form. Its powers and its functions will
be very limited. Some vitriolic-oppon
ents of NRA are declaring that its
skeleton organizatioriur being main
tained solely as a face-saving proposi
tion. They argue that Mr. Roosevelt
could not admit complete defeat of
this outstanding plank in his recovery
platform.
The truth seems to be that Mr.
Roosevelt, wAlle unwilling to admit de
feat in this direction, is waiting until
he can determine what the wishes of
the country are and how far the ma
jority of the population will go with
him In rebuilding the structure on
lines within the limitations prescribed
by the Supreme court. Thus far, cer
tainly he has had considerable evid
ence of benefits accruing from the
NRA experiment. No other view can be
taken of announcements by many in
dustrial leaders to the effect that they
intend to continue hours of'Tubor and
;e levels to which they had sulk

trntjon in keeping the two wings of
his party together. When he has made
that choice, at that same time begins
the development of a new political
party alignment In the United States.
These conclusions are the conclusions
of the most astute politicians and ob-
eervers in Washington.
• ••••••
The question may be asked: What
has brought about these new obridt-
tions so suddenly?
Defections The answer may
Increase not as apparent
as it seems. Off
hand, one would say that the sudden
halt of the New Deal program that
was accomplished through the NRA
decision by the Supreme court of the
United States had actually amounted
to a major operation. Tills is only par
tially true. The Supreme court de-
* cislon while blocking further expan
sion of- the New Deal in the direction
♦ in which it was .tending simply pro
vided a focal point around which the
maelstrom centers. In other words,
through all the months since the N>w
Deal came into power defections have
been increasing. The opposition, grow-
— Ing tn gTrerrgttrrar last hwbeen given
an anch«r. The cumulative character
of the opposition and the dissension
and dissatisfaction has made it possi
ble for a single incident such as the
Supreme court decision to provide
what politicians call an issue.
If the Supreme court ruling had not
been sufficient to accomplish this pur
pose, Mr. Roosevelt personally pro- -
vlded the necessary additional momen
tum. When he spoke in his now famous
press conference, about the court de
cision having the effect of pushing
•American social life back to “horse
and buggy days” he set up at one and
the same time a circumstance that
molded his own supporters In one
- group and tie opposition concretely
U> another.
So avidly did -*he opposition seize
upon Mr. Roosevelt’s statement that
many newspapers of Influence in the
country construed It as a challenge
to the Supreme court Obviously the
President, occupying a co-equal status
with the Supreme court in our form
of government had no intention of IS;
suing a challenge to the Supreme court
in the ordinary sense of the word.
What he intended was to explain to
the country that the time had come
for the nation to consider its future
course; the question he propounded
In effect was whether the limitations,
the maxima and the minima, laid down
In the Constitution were sufficiently
wage
-A more appropriate title for this les
son would be “The Christian’s Obliga
tions in Matters of Conscience;” The
Scripture reference from Romans sets
forth fraternal duties In matters of
conscience. The background for these
| obligations is’to be found in the fact
;. that there were some in the Church
who w’ere very conscientious in regard
1 to the ‘eating of flesh. Likely, these
were Christian Jews who were scrupu
lous In the observance of dietetic laws
given by Moses. Others in the Church
ate what was set before them without
question. There w’ere some also who
had particular regard for feast days
and holy days. Others regarded every
day alike. Differences and disputes
arose. In dealing with (his situation
■^the apostle enumerates the following
obligations:
I. Neither Party Is to Sit in Judg
ment Upon the Other (14:1-13).
This instruction applies to things
wVich are indifferent in Ifcemselves.
The passing of judgment in such cases
is wrong, because:
1. Every man is responsible to God
alone (v. 4). {
2. Every man must decide for him
self what is right for him to do (vv.
5-7). Concerning matters indifference
in themselves, an action which may be
right for one may be sinful for an
other.
3. Every man lives not unto himself,
but unto the Lord (vv. 8, 9). The su
preme purpose of Christ’s death and
i resurrection was that he might be the
Christian’s Lord, both in life and
death.
4. Every man must give an account
| to God (vv. 10-12). Every man must
one day stand before the judgment
seat of Christ, and render an account
of himself unto God.
II. A Stumblingblock Should Not Be
Placed in the Way of Another (l4:13 23)
In many things the Christian has lib
erty so far as he personally is con
cerned, but that very liberty may be
come'an occasion of stumbling to an
other. The following urgent reasons
are given:
I, 1. The weak brother for whom
Christ died may be destroyed (v. 15).
If it was worth while for Christ to die
for a man, surely it is worth while that
we should deny ourselves some priv-
i Ueges for his sake. »
Steam Engine Made by
Watt L Still Running
More than 150 years ago James
Watt built a stearn^ engine for a_
plant at Broseley, in Shropshire. It
must have been about 177&.
Watt has been dead for many
years, but the engine is still work
ing, probably the oldest operating
iteum engine In the world, says a
London correspondent of the Detroit
News. '
The engine was originally used to
sink the shaft of what are known
as “The Deep Pits" at Broseley. and
it has driven the pit cage ever since
Apart from the fact that it was
made at the Broseley foundry, no
one knows much about the engine.
I|ut It- is known that the stationary
engines designed by James ^NVatt
were being made at Broseley years
before the first locomotive was built
and this is believed to be the last
working survivor of these engines.
Every part of it is <yi8t iron; cast
*nd smelted from iron ore that was
mined in the locality. There was a
rus* resisting quality •bout’ tibe
Broseley Iron made about that time.
The iron has never been sheltered,
but is as good as when first cast

the machine has ever been replaced,

scribed under the codes of fair prac
tice—all of which were thrown out
the window by the Supreme court as
illegal., '
To the extent that Important indus
trial lines are continuing to observe
tiie code conditions on a voluntary
basis it is believed Mr. Roosevelt can
take credit for having moved general
business to a plane against which even
the social theorists can offer little
complaint. The President has termed
those who have been guilty of unfair
and unjust treatment of labor ami the
consuming pufific “chiselers.” There
is chiseling going on now. Probably,,
there will he more of it. If it be
comes too widespread, it seems rea-
Wnably certain that there will be a
strong reaction among thinking peo
ple. This reaction will strengthen
whatever moves the President makes
to revise the constitutional limitations
about which he has complained.

There was an incident of historic
importance in the Capitol building the
other day. The Su-
Histonc preme court of the
Incident -.United States meins
usual in its chambers
under the dome of the Capitol on June
3. As far as outward appearances go
it was simply another session in which
th^ nine dignified and learned Justices
met to publicly render the conclusions
of law they had reached. But It was
more than that. It was, the last time
The court was to convene in that
chamber, and today it is dim in the
sallow light of shaded windows for
the first time since 1860.
When the court convenes next Oc
tober after Its usual summer recess,
the justices will climb marble steps
into a gigantic new ten-milllon-dollar
structure—the permanent home of the
court for the future. It is a building
ornate in Its simplicity. The court
chambers and the private offices of
the Justices represent architectural
masterpieces. Equipment of the most
modern type has been installed. Con
venience is everywhere. Yet one of
the older members of the court whom
it has been my privilege to know re
marked with just a touch of pathos in
bis voice that he believed he would
prefer his old office and the old bench
and bar where he had served so long.
The chamber that Is now deserted
was used in the earliest part of Its
history as the meeting place of the
United States senate. It was there

2. Good should not be evil spoken
of (vv. 16-18). One’s manner of lifq
determines the measure of his influence
over his fellow men. Such life will be
characterized by:
a. Righteousness, or moral rectitude.
b. Living in peace among brethren.
c. Joy in the Holy Ghost, the usual
characteristic of .the saved man.
3. That which makes for peace and
' eaiflcaf IoTmT()TiTd"T5e followed (v. 19).
He who causes the weak brother to
stumble through the exercise of his
liberty destroys the work of God.
4. We should exercise faith in God
• and abstain from meats and wine
which offend the weak brother (vv.
21, 22).
III. Personal Liberty to Be Abridged
(I Cor. 8:9-13).
Love Is to be the governing principle
j of the life. Love is more Important
than knowledge. This love will move
one ^
1. To abridge his liberty for the
sake of the weak brother (vv. 10, 11).
While the one who has proper knowl
edge can eat meat with impunity, if
his eating would cause his weak broth-
er to stumble he should desist from
eating.
2. To exercise liberty In such case
la to sin against the brethren (▼. 13).
Sinning against our brother for whom
Christ died Is to sin against Christ.
The great question in all our acts
should be “Will they harm our breth
ren?” This obligation is enforced by
three Important considerations.
a. The fate of the weak brother (t.
11). It may cause him to perish. Such
a possible loss shows the responsibility
of our actions, b. The relation of the
man to his slayer (?. ll). He la hia
brother, c. What Christ did for the
weak brother. Christ died for him.
If Christ was willing to die for the
man, we ought to be willing to deny
ourselves our personal rights for his
sake;
