A Little on Account ' Tragic Will Sell Oil The Oceans Are Closer Washington reports “payment of the $3,000,000,000 soldiers' bonus before the end of the next sessfon Is vlrtirally assure d." Good news for soldiers. Do you suppose the government will print more of Its “Inflation bonds,’’ and Insist on paying Interest on Its own money. Instead of printing new money for £he bonus, or do you believe there must be some limits to stupidity? Arthur Briabaac The of Nations wants us to “clarify our posi tion." It would be made clear If the President would write to the League of Nations: “Our position Is this: “We are attending to our business, and advise you to do the same. Also, what about a little cash on account of $10,000,000,000 you owe us on the last war?” Walter Teagle, head of the Standard Oil of New Jersey, disposes sensibly of the suggestion that all Americans ahould refuse to sell oil to,Italy. He Bays Standard Oil Is not In the League of Nations and he will continue sell ing oil through his Italian sub sidiary. This Is news. Important especially to California, where real estate pros perity grows with Improved transcon tinental trips. The Santa Fe railroad, with a diesel engine, hauling nine stfeel cars and using 3,600 horsepower, has cut 15 hours from the running time between Los Angeles and Chicago. Queer things happen In Ethiopia. The Dally Express says former War Minister Fltowrary Berru, In disgrace with the emperor because he spent too much money, walked, as a penitent, into the presence of the emperor, car rying on his hack a heavy grindstone, and kneeled down in sign of submis sion.

News Review of Current^ Events the World Over floare Promises Britain Will Not Fight With’Italy—Laval’s Peace Efforts Continued—President Roosevelt Returns to Washington. •* By EDWARD W. PICKARD ' O Weitcrn Newspaper Union. \ The Barnwell People-Sentinel, Barnwell. S. C„ Thursday,.. November 7, 1935 Sir Samuel Hoare S IR SAMUEL HOARE, British for eign secretary, assured parliament and the world that Great Britain has no intention of flghtlng Italy and would not alone apply mili tary sanctions against that nation.' He held out strong hopes that, the war in Africa could be settled with out resort by the league to extreme measures. His speech was plainly an Invita tion to Italy to talk peace terms. Denying that the government’s policy is hostile to Fascism, Sir Samuel said: “We have not the least Intention of Interfering in the domestic affairs of other people." “The unbroken solidarity of the em pire Is behind the government’s pol icy,” he said. "Let those prophets of misfortune who have marked the em pire down for. decay and dissolution observe this fact of overwhelming Im portance." Hoare hinted at British Isolation from continental affairs If the league collapses. Next day Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin warmly endorsed all that Hoare and CapL Anthony Flden have done at Geneva. He deprecated even the use of the word war, but called for a rearming of the empire, saying: “In the Interests of world peace It Is es sential our defensive services should be stronger than they are today.” Baldwin announced the adjournment of parliament on October 25 and the election of a new parliament on vember 14. The campaign already is under way and Is lively, with the Inter- natlonnl situation furnishing the main' Issues. The I^abor party accuses the government of delaying action in the Italo-Ethlopian embrogllo until too late to prove really effective, and'lm- pugns Us motive In seeking rearma ment You may see a new kind of “Olym pic game” with long-distance runners wearing gas masks. In future wars soldiers will wear masks and civilians will wear them. Ability to run In gas masks will be Important. Russia knows that, and “training for the next war" eight men and wom en of the Osoavlakhlm (society for aviation and chemical defense) marched 31 miles In gas masks in 10 hours 47 minutes, a world record. General* Smuts, minister of Justice In England’s Union of .South Africa, says: “Annexation of Ethiopia or its domination by a great European power will mean training one of the biggest, most dangerous black armies the world has ever seen." General Smuts worries about the conquering power of such a gigantic "black army” unnecessarily. One' pale chemist inventing a better poison gas. or more destructive explo sives, ami a few first class pilots could take care of arty “black army” that Ethiopia might send forth. The American Federation of Labor asks American athletes not to attend the 1P36 Olympic games, if they are held In Germany. As a reason for j “banning German Olympics,” the fed ^ eration says Hitler is crushing labor unions "with blood and tire." There Is a better reason for not holding the KMG Olympics in Ger many. The chief value of sport is In the fact that manly exercise Is supposed, primarily, to develop and inspire cour age. The spectacle of 60.000,000 Germans cruelly persecuting and suppressing 600,000 German Jews Is not exactly a picture of courage. » A/f USSOLINI made one conciliatory gesture toward Great Britain when he agreed to withdraw a division of troops from Libya: and at the same time he urged that France and Brita'n make qujck reply to his peiue condi tions. But It became known tne troops were to be moved from Libya to Tri poli, where they would be almost as much a menace to Egypt; and the juce’s peace terms were so drastic that there was no prospect that they would be accepted by anyone con cerned. They included disarmament of Ethiopia, an International protec torate over the central regions and an Italian protectorate over the remain der. Addressing the foreign affairs com mittee of the French chamber of depu ties. Premier Laval promised he would geek only a compromise that would be fully acceptable to the League of Na tions. He told the committee that France’s battleships would steam Im mediately to the assistance of Britain If the latter's fleet was atttacked by Italy. President Roosevelt has said that Intends to keep out of European complications. He will not let Europe complicate our foreign business, mak ing it Impossible for American con cerns to operate merely to oblige Eu ropean competitors. In any case our European friends should at least start ’paying the ten thousand million dol lars they borrowed before asking the United States to lose more money for their sweet sake. Dr. C. H.

WN'II W HILE Premier Pierre I/ival of France was still trying desper ately to And a way of settling the Italo-Ethlopian quarrel that would be acceptable to both Great Britain and Italy —apjeirently without regard to Ethiopia's real Interests — fifty- two members of the League of Nations de clared a boycott on all Italian goods and an embargo on various key exports to that country. The boycott binds these nations to Pierr# Laval prohibit importation of‘’all goods consigned from and grown, produced or manufactured In Ital> or In Italian possessions from what ever place they arrive." If rigidly enforced, this would cut off about two-thirds of the export trade upon which Italy depends In getting funds for prosecution of the war In Africa. The countries applying the sanctions agree to aid one another in compensating losses by increased trade facilities, credits, cash and loans if possible, and discriminating agairvst league members such as Austria anM Hungary which continue to trade with Italy. Austria. Hungary and Albania spoke against the sanctions. Switzerland, which seeks to preserve her traditional neutrality, was silent. Some South American republics mad^complicated reservations. It was decided that the sanctions should be put In force on October 31, and Laval thus had time to continue his peace efforts. These seemed to center on a way to “legalize" Italian occupation of that part of northern Ethiopia which Mussolini’s troops have seized and to arrange for Italy’s par tial control over the entlrer-empire. G en. rudolfo grazianis forcesTb southern Ethiopia were reported to have won several Impor tant victories In their advance toward Harr*? and the railway. They cap tured some towns despite desperate resistance by the natives, and took many prisoners. The main movement in that region was up the Webbe Shl- bell-river. The Ethiopians were re peatedly dispersed by aerial bombs. In Tlgre province, on the north, the Italians were consolidating their po sitions and preparing for another big* thrust toward Addis Ababa. Their line there extended nearly 70 miles from Adigrat through Aduwa to the holy city of Aksum. ERMANY Is becoming a barren nation.

Smith opened an appeal for financial aid for non- Aryan Christian and political refu gees from Germany, at a dinner In New York held under the Joint aus pices of the American Christian Com mittee for German Refugees and the Emergency Committee Ip Aid of Political Refugees from Nazl-ism. “I am informed that at this very moment I am speaking, 2.500 Ger man refugees are on the verge of starvation,” the former New York gov ernor said. “Centers now operating and serving these refugees In Europe must be supplied quickly with money. They need aid, or will be forced to discontinue their work.” Dr. Albert Einstein, the eminent scientist, also was present and said German, Fascism Is directed mostly ‘against my Jewish brothers. The rea son given Is to purify the Aryan race In Germany. As a matter of fact, no such Aryan race exists and the myth of same has been Invented solely to motivhte the persecution and robbery of the Jews." DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, deeply ^ tanned and in fine spirits, returned to the White House, his holiday tour ended. When he landed from the cruis er Houston at Charleston, S. C., he told a big crowd gathered to welcome him that the country is on Its way back to prosperity nnder the planned economy of his administration, “and don’t let anybody tell y<?u differently." At an Informal press conference just before he left the cruiser, the Presi dent was asked, to comment on the- “impending collapse” of his drive to put three and a half million employ ables on relief to work by November 1. He replied that November 30 was 39 days off and that November 1 had nev er been set as the deadline, and that he had been very careful to say that substantially three and a half million persons would be put to work. If three million are at work by November 80 he said he would be satisfied with the four-hilllort-dollar program, and that it could not then be considered to have fallep down.

In an open letter to senators and Ezekiel prophesied In the land of, the captivity. The purpose of his min istry vwas threefold: (1) To show the house of Israel that they were In cap tivity because of their sins (14:23). (2) To show that God Is righteous In his visitation of judgment upon them (7 :8, 9). (3) To sustain their faith by assuring them of their national restor ation, the punishment of their enemies and their final exaltation among the naflons when Messiah shall reign. I. God’s Sovereign Right to the Souls of Men (18:1-4). Every man Is personally responsible to God. II. The Moral Obligation of Sons to Their Father (Ezek. 18:14-20). While the law of bertedity gives the child a sinful nature and when. the child arrives at the age of moral re sponsibility It begins to sin, God holds such responsible for their deeds. HI. Ezekiel’s Responsibility (Ezek. 33:1-9). As a prophet of God certain respon sibilities were Imposed upon him. There,Is a sense In which every dis ciple of Clirlst is a witness for him and therefore is responsible for the giving of his testimony to sinners. His responsibility Is set forth under the figure of a watchman. Two things were required of a watchman. 1. To hear the words of God’s mouth (v. 7).

VJEARLY f ^ all pari 5.000 men and women from irts of the United States gathered in Chicago and held a na tional convention of the Townsend plan, which, as most people know, would give every person sixty years of age a $200 per month income if the person agreed to spend it all wlthLi. the month, did not work or have an income all told of more than $2,400 a year. The elderly California doctor who devised the plan was present, and the delegates seriously undertook the work of formulating a campaign to compel the adoption of the plan at the coming session of congress. lean, Maj. G'“n. Adolphus W. Ureely, U. S. A., retired, at the age of ninety one years. He passed away in Walter Reed hospital, Washington, and was buried lu Arlington national cemetery with full honors.

To sound the warning (v, 7). Af ter hearTffg God's message he was to speak it out and proclaim It to the people. A watchman today is both to hear and to speak.

Its peti tion was filed because it was unable to meet taxes of $4,000,000 and In terest of $2,200,000. ^ The railroad had sought another loan from the government, but the Interstate Commerce commission re jected the plea. The company had cleaned Its treasury of collateral to secure loans of $7,699,000 from the Reconstruction Finance corporation, $3,531,000 from the Railroad Credit corporation, and $16,000,000 from banks.

L « - *> C'DWARD HENRY CARSON, who In 1921 was made Baron Carson of Duncairn, died in London at the ag£ of eighty-one years, ending a strange and stormy career concerned mainly with Irish politics. A Protestant, he became leader of the Ulster party, organized and led the threatened Ulster rebellion in 1914 against the home rule bill and secured its post ponement.

IV. God’a Attitude Toward the Sin ner (vv. 10, 11). , . God has declared in his Word that unfaithfulness on the part of his peo pie would cause them to "perish among the heathen.” that they would “pine away in their iniquity” (I^ev. 26:38, 39). In view of this pronouncement some are disposed to say that their case Is hopeless. To meet this attitude of despair the prophet assured them that God had no pleasure In the death of the wicked, hut that ffis sincere de sire was for the wicked to turn from their way and live. Regardless ot what their past had been, they were given the assurance that the future was bright If they heeded God’s com mand and plea. No one need to despair because of sin. for God's grace is great er than human, sin—.— V. The Sinner’s Personal Response bility (vv. 12-20). God created the members of the race personal beings, giving them freedom of choice. They have moral discern ment enabling them to distinguish be tween the right and the wrong. They dioose, therefore, according to thq quality of their being. Tfiq following principles govern the sinner: 1. Past righteousness will not avail for present sins (v. 12). When a righteous man turns to iniquity, his past seeming righteousness will be of no avail. 2. Past sins do not make Impossible present acceptance with God (vv. 12-15). By virtue of the operation of the law of habit, every sinful act makes It harder for the sinner to re pent. but God’s grace Is such that If the sinner repents God will forgive and restore. 3. Restitution required (vv. 15, 16). The proof of penitence is that. £0 far as possible, the sinner makes amends for wrongs done. 4. God’s ways are equal (vv. 17-20). God holds man responsible for his own deeds. The child is not condemned because of the deeds of his father, nor can it be said that the fathers have eaten sour grapek and the chil dren’s teeth are set on edge. This does not do away with the law of heredity. Regardless of what one’s past life has been, God’s grace In lesus Christ blots out his record and he stands accepted In the Beloved. 1 Friends Friends are as companions of- *^Jour- ney, who ought to aid each other, as preservers on the road to a happier life.—Pythaforas. < A Mother’s Love If there be aught surpassing human deed or word or thought, it is a moth- establlsh- ( i 0 ve!—De Spradara Fore* The power that Is supported by v force alone will have cause often to tremble.—Kossuth.
