News Review of Current l , — ' -v w •' . ■ ' V , : „ . os/-. * , Events the World Over Artfcar Brisbane England really has free speech. On your soap box In Hyde Park you may say what you please, if you do not advocate crime. But England does not like free speech from another country, through the ether. The British Broadcasting company will' not let Marconi talk from Rome to Englishmen over the radio. He might convince them that It Is preposterous to try to starve out Italy for doing In Ethiopia what Eng- 4 chukuo d,< > n °t ,n c lud e Intriguing for land has done In many places. The ruling seems lyird on Marconi, consid ering that he invented radio. With out him there would be no "British Broadcasting company.” Those that make betting a business •re often sound in their political Judg ments. They are at least cold, calcu lating; sentiment does not cloud their vision. On the Republican Presidential nom ination the betting now stands: Senator William E. Borah, 8 to 1. Governor Landon of Kansas. 10 to 1. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, 15 to f 1. Col. Trank Knox of Illinois, 15 to 1. Governor Hoffman of New Jersey, Ogden I* Mills, Senator David A. Reed, all 20 to 1. Professional bettors agree that Gov ernor Landon Is gaining, and will probably lead the procession at 0 to 1 in a few days. Band wagon climbers are more and more polite to Governor Landon. The “sanctions" wail thrown by Eng land and France around Italy, smaller nations co-operating, to "suffocate and starve Italy." as Mussolini puts It, !• now complete. Two million young or ganized Italians protest against the effort to punish Italy for doing to ^Ethiopia what England and France nave done to other, more nearly civ* llzed countries. H. G. Wells, aged sixty-nine, young er and more brilliant than when he wrote “Doctor Moreau’s Island” and “The War of the Worlds,” now In America on his way to see Hollywood, says, "The film Is a finer art than the novel, stage or the opera." Mr. Wells’ open mind proves his youth. The moving picture Is greater In Its possibilities than.book, stage or opera, because It contains all three, plus the marvelous power of photog raphy.

JAPAN. suddenly learned that the vmm mm " >: autonomy movement, in the north ern provinces of China, fostered by the Japanese arTn.f'eoffiThanders, was likely to prejudice her case in the naval con ference soon to’ open In London. There fore the army high command In Tokyo tebL Its subordinates on the continent to “lay off,” and the am bitious schemes of MaJ, Gen. Kenji Dol- hara came to naught, at least for the pres ent. That plotter 1 , who had become known as "the Lawrence of China,” quietly departed fron> Peiping and his early return was not expected. Thus, for . the first time In recent years, the Japanese militarists have been checked, by the Tokyo govern ment, which Informed them that the mission of the Japanese army in Man- Kenjl Doiha>a separation of the Chinese provinces and that it would not be permitted to pass south of the great wall without an Imperial order. Instead of the autonomy coup, the Nanking government was told by the Japanese authorities in China that It' must Institute reforms In the northern provinces. Akira Arlyoshl,^ Japanese ambassador, had s long conference with Dictator Chlang Kai-shek In Nan king, and told the press he had re ceived assurance that the Chinese gov ernment was adequotely prepared to cope with the situatioa in north China. Ariyoshi said he had also received as surance that Nanking desired to con tinue friendly relations with Japan. Neutral observers in China are not convinced" that the autonomy move ment will not be revived at the first opportunity. P UE to RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has gone Warm Springs, Ga., for his an nual visit, and for three weeks will divide his time among rest, politics and work. He was to deliver one speech at Atlanta; and after hia return to Washlngtou he will joufoey to Chicago to deliver an ^address on December 9 which probably will 4>e an argument for a permanent AAA. Following h.'s Chicago speech. Pres ident Roosevelt will go to South Bend, Ind., to accept an honorary degree and make a brief address at the Univer sity of Notre Dame. The acceptance of this invitation was considered an adroit political move because of his re cent refusal to take any action con cerning the Catholic persecutions In Mexico. ' Britain’s amlnssador Is conferring with our State department concerning Japan’s plan to seize Chinese provinces, containing 95,000,000 Chinese, 35,000,- 000 more than the total population of Japan. If the Japanese could control, arm and use 100,000,000 Chinese In the air and on the ground, that would be inter esting. But it would not be. our busi ness, and It Is to be hoped that the British will not persuade our State department that this country ought to attend to !L Spiritually, politically and otherwise Important is the proposed “merger” approved by bishops of the three branches of the Methodist Episcopal church.

States S OMETHING new under the sun is now being tried out—an economic war to put a stop to a military war. Fifty-two nations are united in the Imposition of sanctions against Italy, which became an outlaw na tion on Noveqiber' 18 by decreeof the League of Nations. Four league nations, all unimportant, re fused to participate. They are Austria, Hungary, Albania and Paraguay. Indirect support is given the league by two non- rnemher nations, the and Germany. Nearly all the world’s chief ports are closed to Italian goods, and exports to Italy of arms, war ma terials and a long list of key products has stopped. Loans and credits for the Italian government, public bodies, corporations and individuals are for bidden. Should this momentous action suc ceed. It would seem that the end of Benito Mussolini and the Fascist re gime in Italy is In sight Should It fait the league of Nations falls, the British communications in the Mediter ranean would be threatened, and the pence of the world would be menaced. Standing steadfast against the sanc tions, Premier Mussolini proclaimed the day on which they were estab lished "a day of ignominy and .In- iquity,” as had been declared by the Fascist grand council The day was made s holiday, flags flew from all buildings and there were numerous an gry demonstrations against the mem ber nations of the league. The fron tiers of Italy and Its ports were closed te-goods of those nations except for certain necessities. Restrictions of food, fuel and light were put In force. It was announcetLln Rome that 100,-. 000 of the recently mobilized soldiers would be given a furlough of three months to aid Industrial and agricul tural production. Thera were new negotiations for peace, fostered by the British and tremely difficult circumstances’* and was to be elevated to the rank of mar shal Gen.

Emperor Halle Selassie made two airplane trips to the fighting fronts, visiting Harar and Diredawa and in specting hia troops in the South. The government at Addlfc Ababa denied Italian claims that 2,000 Ethiopians had been killed in a terrific battle with Italian fliers. The communique said: “Information from the commander of troops in the region of Makale states the recent Intensive, bombardment of their, positions by ten Italian planes caused thirty deaths and slightly wounded fifty. Instead of the 2,000 killed |s mentionecKin the press com munique from Asmara.” DOPE PIUS surprised the world by * naming twenty new cardinals, who will be Installed at a secret consistory December 16 and a public one Decem ber 19. In the group are fifteen Ital ians, two Frenchmen, one Argentine, one Spaniard and one Czechoslovakian. With these^ additions the sacred col lege will have sixty-nine merflbers, the largest number'Tn J 1he history of the jchurch and only one short of the full complement The sacred college will now be composed of thirty-nine Italians and thirty non-Italians. The pope also named the Most Rev. Joseph C. Plngens, recently anxliiary bishop of Detroit, as t)lshop of the di ocese eg Marqnette—Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara, anxliiary bishop of Philadelphia, as bishop of the Savannah diocese. Mayor La Guardia TITHEN a hundred mayors, ussem-' » ' bled In Washington to discuss the work relief program, called on the President, he talked chiefly about taxes, which he said "have grown up like Topsy In this country." He then announced that be planned to call a conference of cRy and state officials late In the winter for the pur pose of studying the whole system of taxa^. tion which, he said, should be simplified. Concerning the mat ter of continuance of relief, Mr. Roosevelt told the mayors: “It is a question that you have to combat My answer, and I am sure yours will be the same for city gov ernments, is that we do not propose to let people stai ve. Some people will be surprised to find that the gigantic works program Will be substantially carried out by the end of November, just as It was planned last spring.” The mayors elected F. H. La Guardia of New York president of their an nual conference and Edward J. Kelly of Chicago vice president, a position usually leading to the presidency the following year. La Gnardla succeeds Daniel W. Hoan of Milwaukee. The mayors recommended that the social security act be amended to In clude old age pensions for municipal employees and urged co-operation by cities with the Department of Justice for the suppression of crime. C HA1 of A NOTHER prominent figure ef the Werld war passed with the death of Earl Jelllcoe, who commanded the united British fleet In the great battle of Jutland and was severely criticized because he did not succeed In com pletely defeating the German fleet. Jelllcoe, who entered the navy as a cadet at thirteen years of age, had a colorful career on British ships and In administrative positions throughout the world until at the end of four years as governor general of New Zealand In 1924 he practically retired from official public life. P LANS to establish a three hun dredth anniversary fund at Har vard university this year, .for the awarding of large annual prize scholar ships to boys in each state of the Union, were announced by President James B.

Nehemiah’s Mission to Jerusalem (Neh. 2)„ While performing his official duty as cupbearer to the Persian king, Ne- hemiab learned of the distress of bis brethren at Jerusalem. The walls of the city were broken down, Its gates burnt, and the remnant s of the cap tives were In great affliction and re proach. This news greatly moved him. He definitely asked God to give the king a favorable attitude toward his project. In answer to his prayer he was granted a leave of absence from the Persian court and credentials from the king. He jouraed to Jeru salem and made a survey of the city by night without disclosing his pur pose to anyone. Having thus obtained first-hand information, he called the representatives of the Jews together and said, “Let us buildf tbo walla of Jerusalem.” II. Preparation for-4fca- Building (Neh. 3). ‘ The division of labor In this project displayed Nehemiah’s administrative ability. A wise distribution of labor makes difficult tasks easy. Observe some outstanding features of his ad ministrative work. . L He laid stress upon Indifference. In administrative tasks It is proper that unfaithfulness should be pointed out Such action serves as a warning to the unfaithful and encouragement to tbe faithful. 2. Help rendered by the women (v. 12). It Is a fine thing for the wonifilr to v tkke hold even In building a wall when there are no men to do It 8. Stress laid upon earnestness oft some (v. 20). Recognition of fidelity will spur one on to faithful perform ance of his task. 4. Every one bnllt over against his own house (vv. 10, 23, 28). There Is no Incentive for exertion quite ao strong as that which concerns a man’s own family. 5. Certain guilds of men undertook certain work (vv. 8, 81, 32). Wise ad ministration sometimes calls fbr such alignment of efforts. Men of the same class and occupation usually work best together. III. Hindrancas Encountered (4:1- 6:14). 1. Scoffing of Sanballat. and Tobiah (4:1-6; cf. 2:19, 20). The oppressors of God’s servants frequently begin by hurling shafts of ridicule at them. 2. Conspiracy for a sudden attack (4:7-9). When the enemy saw the work was actually succ^ding, they changed from ridicule to an attempt to throw the workmen Into a panic. 8. Conspiracy with the Jews (4:10- 23). They sought, by means of the Jews from the outside, to disconrage those on the inside. 4. Greed and oppression of the rich (5:1-13). The Jews of that day, like the prof iteers of our day, took advantage of' the poor and oppressed them so that they mortgaged their land and even sold their daughters Into slavery. 5. Scheme to take Nehemiah’s life (6:1-14). When Sanballat and Tobiah failed In every other way, they craftily sought to get Nehemlah away that they might kill him. IV. Tha Wall Complsted (6:15-7:4). So energetically did they pursue their tasks that In fifty-two days the wall was completed. When their ene mies saw that In spite of all their schemes the work was actually com pleted, they were cast down, for they perceived that the work was of God. Upon the completion of the work, Nehemlah set his brother to rule over Jerusalem’and gave Instructions as to the opening and closing of the gates of the city. May we learn from this: --L'That; though--God’s children are besought by enemies they should not fear. 2. When beset by enemies we should pray (4:9). a. They set's watch (4:9). b. Men were permlttted to be with their families (4:13) and would thus fight better. c. Half worked and half watched, all armed for battle. d. They worked with sword In one hand (4:17). «. They slept In their clothes, ready for attack (4:23). Genuine faith la always accompanied with precaution try means.

Condor* in California DiscoVery of 16 huge American condors on the Slsquach ranch at the head of Branch Canyon, about 75 miles east of Santa Maria, is an event of unusual scientific and dra matic interest to ornithologists and the great public, since this great member of the vulture family was supposed to be practically-extinct In California.
