‘-*■1 J HJi - i 1 i THIS WEEK Bay of Fundy Power Religion Aid* Mussolini Cheap Eggs for Soldiers Government Railroads? Governor Brann of Maine Is onwlll- !ng to share expenses, and President Booaevelt may drop the Paasamaquod- dy power project. That would be a national misfortune. While spending billions so freely, It would seem worth while to spend thirty-six little millions to harness the gigantic tide power in the Bay of Fundy. —-X Development of that project would supply the whole state of Maine with power and Industrial prosperity and pay for Itself. To allow the vast power of one of the highest tides on earth to continue going to waste would he as foolish as It would he to ceasev using the power of Niagara. In Milan, Cardinal Schuster, cele brating mass for those that died In the Fascist march on Rome, Indorses earnestly Mussolini’s Invasion of Ethi opia, praising “the valiant army which, In Intrepid obedience to the command of their fatherland at the price of their blood, open the doors of Kthlot^n to the Catholic faith and the civilization of Rome.” ' '— Also, according to Associated Press, the cardinal praised Fascism as “prom ising the national morality wished by the Catholic church.” Italian soldiers In Ethiopia, much surprised, can buy as many fresh eggs as they want at ridiculously low prices. Ethiopians will not eat eggs—their religion forbids them to detour “that which might have life In theN^uture,** but they are willing to sell the eggs to the Italian soldiers and let them Im peril their Immortal souls by “devour- future HfP* r lf they choose. Ethiopian tribesmen have no scruples shout eating the chicken, once It Is hatched, which shows that religious scruples take Interesting forms. What about the “future life”.that the hen might have produced? Railway labor unions plan a Wash Ington lobby, "to promote governtnen purchase and operation of railroads. Owners of some railroads would gladly Share the expense of that lobby, If they could sell their railroads at a fair price. Running a railroad In competition with automobiles, motor busses and trucks Is like running a legitimate hotel In competition with night clubs'' and other former speakeasies. Russia Is a successful spy hunter, having convicted on the average one every six hours, according to “Col lier’s." If, In Russia, -you are convicted of •P.ving. no second conviction is ever necessary or possible. Those 100,000 spies, to earn their money, must keep International sus picion alive, and that helps to keep war alive. Rejoicing In the fact that “the 13 years of the Fascist regime have not passed In vain, and the world of plu tocratic and conservative egotisms Is ©bilged to take note of this," Musso lini denounces league of Nations sanc tions aimed at him as “a preposterous crime destined to Increase disorder and distress In every country." Pan-American Air Lines asks air travelers: “Shall we serve cocktails to passengers?” The answer should he emphatically “no." First, the average cocktail Is unfit for any stomach, except perhaps that of a carrlon-eatlng hyena; sec ond, It has been proved more than once that alcohol and flying do not mix well. V The President Inspected “fortifica tions" of the Panama cnr#i, returning from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Unfortunately there are no fortifica tions on the Panama canal. The canal depends Its locks and they, open to attack from the air. could easily be destroyed. No engineer will deny that. The way to have a “fortified" canal la to build one at sen level. In these spending days that might be done now, through Nicaragua. Uncle S x ani would have something to show for,his money more, substantial than groups of weary’ gentlemen “rak ing leaves.” News Review of Current Events the World Over President v Raps Tugwell for Budget Prediction—WPA Job Program Moves Rapidly—Farmers Indorse Corn-Hog Control for 1936r , \ By EDWARD W. PICKARD ^ C Weatern Newspaper Union. Tugwell O EXFORD O. TUGWELL, undersec- ^ retary of agriculture and once con sidered head man of the “brain trust,” made a speech at Los Angeles the /other day that called forth a sharp rebuke from President Roose velt. Addressing a Democratic gathering, Tugwell asserted that the administration could satisfy ev^ry humanitarian demand and still balance the budget In 1038. Mr. Roosevelt, In a press conference, scolded the newspa pers for printing what he called "crazy stories" and went on to declare that Tugwell’s assertion was almost as un founded as the predictions thrown out by many political observers that the budget probably would never be bal anced again. Tug-well's statement wasn’t quite as “wild" as the news paper stories, he remarked, because Tugwell. knew a little more about the budget than the newspaper men. The President ’said he and his ad visers were about to make a study of the financial situation, and that until the budget Is finally drafted about the first of the year not even he knows what shape It will take. Every effort, he said, would be made to hold the regular government departments down to the figures of this fiscal year, but he would make no predictions as to emer gency expenditures. J OBS for 3,500,000 needy persons by November 15, and ap end «f the dole by December 1. That was the forecast made by the New Dealers In Washington, and It appeared probable of accomplishment. Officials said states will receive no direct relief al- nu>nu the government for De cember and that the November-gratits will be greatly reduced. • The employ ment program Is a month behind schedule, hut Is now being carried for ward rapidly. Every state director of the PWA has been given a Job goal by Administrator Harry D Hopkins and was told 1>y that gentleman: “The responsibility for carrying out these objectives, through providing work on approved projects, rests squarely on you.” As 'Nhvember o|»ened these state ad ministrators had $1,018,347,040 to spend, and every day Comptroller Gen eral McUarl was putting more to their credit In the federal treasury. Of the $3,330,843,803 tentatively approved In W PA project values by President Roosevelt, McOarl had passed $2,450,- 203,804. Of the $1,000,207,831 definite ly allocated for WPA by the presi dent. McOarl had countersigned treas ury warrants for all hut $41,200,182. & vt Chester C. Davis There Is encouragement In the fact that “regular Jobs," not the artificial made-to-order kind, are Increasing. Three hundred and fifty thousand men were hired In September, and payrolls for September’are $12,000,000 a week above August Warner Brothers’ successful produc tion of "A Midsummer Night’s Dream," knder the direction of Max Reinhardt, proves courage and sound Judgment The picture Is a financial as well as an artistic success, greater by far than any recent Shakespearean stage production with living actors. Mr. Burton, ©f Cosmopolitan Maga- alne, asks various -hlgfrfrrmrs an( i trows of middling height to answer: “Will world peace ever he possible?" The answer is “Yes.” but paid spies may postpone the happy day. Among other parasites, the world now supports 100,000 spies—men and women. Forty thousand have been caught and convicted In Europe dufing the past 15 years. • Kina r«»tur«s Syndic*** lac. WNU S*rrte* N EW DEALERS have scored a ma- ^or victory, and are correspond ingly elated. By a majority of some thing like 10 to 1, the corn hog produc ers have voted for a ? continuance of the crop adjustment through another year. Incomplete returns from the referendum showed that the pro gram was favored by a majority In every one of the 33 states from which votes were received. "It Is only natural that we should be pleased with the ap parent approval of adjustment given by corn and hog farmers," said Ches ter C. Davis, AAA administrator, as he watched the returns come In at Washington. "If the final results bear out present lndIeft'ti(ms’'another volun tary contract will be offered for both corn and hogV In a formal statement Davis em phasized earlier assurances that the AAA would seek a 25 to 30 per cent Increase In hog production next year, saying the “need for Increasing the present pork, supply of the nation. . . will be kept in -mind In plans for the next adjustment contract." BeCfre the results of the voting were known President Roosevelt announced tentative plans for making the AAA over from an emergency to a per manent agency. Observers In Washing ton concluded that Mr. .Roosevelt in tends to make the AAA a major cam paign Issue next year and to rely for re-election largely on the voters In those western slates that have re ceived the largest cash payments In the carrying out of the crop adjust ment program—taking It for granted that he will carcy the solid South. C ONTINUING the administration’s policy of “enabling farmers to market their crop in a more orderly fashion." Secretary of Agriculture Wal lace announced a corn loan of 45 cents a bushel on the 1035 crop, available from December I until next July 1. The Commodity Credit corporation had already approved this and asked a commitment from the R. F. C. to pro vide the necessary funds. Wallace estimated that about $150,- 000.000 would be advanced to/corn growers under this program. Hpyrow- ers must sign the AAA coru-h&g con trol contracts. The loans will he made on corn which. If shelled, would grade No. 3 or better. The grade require ment last year called for was No. 4. The loan rate then was 55 cents a bushel. DREMIER MUSSOLINI defies the League'Uf Nations a^d^its sanctions. In a speech at I he Inauguration of the new university In Rome he said: “In the face of an economic liege toward which all civilized people of the world should feel supreme shame, In the face of an experiment which they wanted to test, for the first time, against the Italian people, let It be said: “We will oppose If with our most Implacable resistance, with our most firm decision and with our most su preme contempt." However, It was announced In Geneva that the duee was willing to negotiate for peace with Ethiopia, and there was a possibility*’ the league would delay for 15 days the applicatipn of further penalties. King Victor Emmanuel Issued a de cree putting the entire’ Italian mer chant marine on a war basis. Prime Minister Baldwin’s reply to Mussolini’s defiance was a blunt as sertlon that Great Britain was pre pared to resort to force, if necessary, to carry out the sanctions. Said he: "We mean nothing to the league If. we are not prepared In the end, and after grave and chreful trial, to take action to enforce Its Judgments." The British goverrmjetrtvsmade new protests hr-Haly agamst ItaThin press attacks on Britain and anti-British propaganda In Egypt, and three more destroyers were sent from Gibraltar to Malta. W PILE the League of Rations was measure. Is to be passed on by the Supreme court. The way was opened when Justice Jesse Adkins of the Dis trict of Columbia' Supreme court grant ed to the Carter Coal company a tem porary Injunction restraining govern ment ep/orcement of the act* 1 In allowing the Issuance of a tern-, porary Injunction, Justice Adkins de filed another order which would have restrained the government from col lecting the penalty prescribed by the act for noncompliance. He directed that the coal company post a bond of $1,500 a day for ten days to Insure stockholders of the company against a loss through imposition of the pen alty should the act be held constitu tional. Regardless of the District Supreme court’s decision on the* constitution ality of the act,rtHe test case will be carried to the Supreme court for a final decision by the company or the government, attorneys said. L IBERTY League’s co'mmlttee of 58 more or less eminent lawyers got Into trouble by offering free legal serv ices in anti-New Deal litigatiob. Some one protested to the American Bar as-, soclation and -that body's grievance committee has tyeen asked for an opin ion on the ethics of the offer. It was reported that the members of the league’s committee had been cited for unethical practices, but the bar asso ciation denied this had yet been done. Secretary Hull going forward with lt<^plans for the imposition of sanctions against'Ita ly, Its officials asked the United Slates, government to com ment on this policy, for the attitude of this country Is consid ered vital to the suc cess of the program. Secretary of State Hull replied promptly but witlr-extreme cau tion, avoiding com ment on the action taken by the. league powers and Inferenti- ftlly declining to c«H>p- erate in the sanctions. The answer, whose tenor was dictated by President Roosevelt, was sent to Minister Hugh Wilson at Berne. It only set forth the moves made by the United States under the neutrality act and restated our government’s hope for world peace. In press conferences Mr. Hull stressed the fact that this country will cont4nue to move Inde pendently to keep free and untangled aa President Roosevelt has promised. A MERICAN citizens are not respect- Ing the embargo on shipments to Italy and Ethiopia to an extent that satisfies the administration. Therefore the President issued this statement: "In dealing with the conflict be tween Ethiopia and Italy I have car ried into effect the will and intent of the neutrality resolution recently en acted by cOffitress. We have prohlb- | Ited all shipments of arms, ammuni tlon, and Implements of w^r to the belligerent governments. By my pub lic statement pf October 5, which was emphasized by the secretary of state' on October 10, we have warned Ameri can citizens against transactions of any character with either of the bel ligerent nations except at 'their own risk. "This government is determined not to become involved In the controversy and Is anxious for the restoration and malntenance. s of peace. "However, In the course of war. tempting trade opportunities may be offered to our people t** supply ma terials which would prolong the war. I 40 not believe that the American people will wish for abnormally in creased profit^ that temporarily might he secured by greatly extending .our trade In Such materials; rior would they wish the, struggles on the battle field to he prolonged because of profits accruing to a comparatively small number of American citizens. “Accordingly, the American govern ment Is keepifig Informed as to all shipments consigned for export to both belligerents.” 4 Secretary of State Hull Issued an other statement calling upon American citizens to desist from trading with either Italy or Ethiopia. Such trade, he declared, was conducted “at the expense of human lives and human misery." T HERE Is no lack of potential can didates for the Republican Presi dential nomination. The latest boom to be Informally launched Is for Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kan sas, often mentioned as a possibility. The other day there was a gathering In Topeka of party leaders, in cluding members of the state committee, state office holders, congressmen and Sen- Ator Arthur Capper, and after some ora tory they Unanimously and enthusiastically In dorsed the governor for the nomina tion. Landon had not Indicated whether he would be a candidate. If he will, the movement will probably be given formal status at the annual Kansas day dinner In Topeka on Jan uary 20, the seventy-fifth anniversary of the state's admission to the Union. Gov.

It seems that false prophets were flourishing in Babylon telling the peo ple that they would speedily be re stored to their own land. To coun teract this the Lord moved Jeremiah to send this letter to the captives In Babylon (vv. 8, 0). In this letter he advised them to settle down and quietly pursue their regular callings of life and not to be led astray by the false prophets (vv. 6, 7). 1. The length of the captivity (v. 10). Their comiffg back was to be “after seventy years.” From Daniel 9:2 It Is clear that seventy years means a definite time. It dates from the time when the first company was taken captive, among which Dai^l was found. 2. Recovered by God (vv. 10-14). God’s purpose In the captivity was to cure them of their Idolatrous practices. He assured them that when hls pur pose was accomplished he would visit them and convince them of his good purpose toward them. Their captivity ne would turn away, gather them from all the nations, snd bring them Into their own land. II. The Predicted Captivity Fulfilled fc£zra 1:1-6). 1. The proclamation of Cyrus (vv. 1-4). s. This was not by accident, but that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled (v. 1). ^What God 'has prom ised he will do; he never forgets. . - b.

J IMMY WALKER, former mayor of New York, has- ended his three years of self-imposed exile and re turned to the metropolis. Tammany Hall, which “made" him politically, took no part In the welcome accorded him, but enough others Joined In the affair to fill seven or eight boats that met the liner Manhattan at 'quaran tine. These included delegations from the Friars club, the I^imbs club and the Grand Street Boys’ association of which Jimmy was vice president. At the docks there was a tremendous throng to greet Walker and his wife, the former Betty Compton. (1) "The llF»rd G"d of heaven hath charged me ) to build him a house In Jerusalem" (v. 2).

He invokes upon such as possess the national religious feeling, ttie blessing of God, and commands them to go and build the house of the Lord God. (3) I,end assistance (v. 4). Many of the Jews were established In business and therefore were not free to go. Many, no doubt, had lost their nation al spirit and therefore did not desire to go. All such were to lend friendly j assistance In silver, gold, and beasts. 2. The response to Cyrus’ prixfiama- i tlon (vv. 5. 6). The chief of the fa- j 4hers of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and Levltes presented them selves ns willing and ready . to go. The company which returned was largely made up of representatives of Judah and Benjamin. _ 3. The royal favor (vv. 7-11).

The Gladness and Rejoicing of the Returning Exiles (I’s. 120:1-6). 1. The proclamation of Cyrus as a dream (v. 1). They recognized that their going back was through the favor of the Lord. 2.
