Artkar Brlakanc A million years ago, when our ancestors went out seeking some thing to eat, preferably some fee ble human being easily killed, ev erybody walked. Now nearly every body rides. Across George Wash ington bridge over the Hudson river, opened five years ago, about 100,- 000,000 human beings have crossed in 31,000,000 automobiles, while fewer than 1,000,000 have crossed on foot. Busses alone carried 11,838,000 over the bridge. How rapidly progress moves once It starts! Seventy-five years ago, both sides of our country were con nected by telegraph for the first time Now men talk around the world by radio. Seventy-five years ago they only talked across the con tinent. now they fly the continent and on beyond, across the Pacific ocean. Those hostile to new ideas might remember that a little more than seventy-five years ago men were beaten for re-election to congress because, as the voters put It, 'they were foolish enough to vote money to experiment talking over wires " They were defeated for willing ness to have the government try out Morse s electric telegraph idea. News Review of Current Events the World Over Trade Balance for.Niffe Months Is Unfavorable—Mrs, Simpson Gets Divorce — Goering * Launches Nazi Economic Plan. By EDWARD W. PICKARD a Western New»p»per Union. SPURRED to quick action by the ^ new accord between Germany and Italy, Leon Blum’s popular front cabinet approved a large in crease in France’s military air force, already reputed to be one of the most powerful in the world. To modernize and build up the aerial squadrons the government will spend $230,000,000 at once. It was reported, too, that the cabinet de cided to ask parliament to vote ex traordinary funds for the fortifica tion of the northern frontier because of Belgium’s reversion to a policy of armed neutrality. Secretary Roper p* XPORTS of manufactured goods and raw materials exceeded im ports into the United States during September by more than four mil lion dollars, accord ing to a report re leased by Secretary of Commerce Roper. But the flow the other way was so strong during the previous three months that the country suffered an unfavorable balance of trade during the first nine months of the year amounting to $33,138,000. This Is in contrast with a favorable bal ance of $66,496,000 in the correspond ing period of 1935. Roper minimized the situation, de claring that heavy exports of raw cotton, tobacco and automobiles would probably bring the trade bal ance more into line with previous years. Pressed for further explana tion Roper insisted that “our govern ment as such does not compete with other governments in the selling of goods,’’ and this was the province of private business. On reciprocal trade agreements he was mum. “We’d like to end the year with a favorable trade balance, naturally,” he said, “but we are going through a period of study and readjustment in world trade.” In fact, Roper found the increase In import trade to be “encourag ing.” He said that it showed our Industries were buying raw ma terials abroad for expansion of their production In this country. Heavy Increases In wheat end meats re sulted from the drouth, according to Roper, rather than from the kill ing of six million pigs and rsuing of gram under the AAA.

I'll kill yours ” England and other countries al most tearfully are bogging both sides in Spain to exchange hostages instead of murdering them; the British government officially ex presses the fear that women “are in danger of wholesale massacre.” Nice civilization, is it not?’’ Dr. Bakst, young teacher of math ematics at Columbia university, thinks he has a sure formula for winning on horse races; “he tried it and won, 1,000 times, not with money, just mentally.” Anybody can win mentally, they do it constantly at Monte Carlo and elsewhere, but nobody can win money, except accidentally — never in the long run. A brave truck driver, name un known, saw a lady with a difficult name, Mrs. Anastasia Adiuszkie- wics, hanging from the ledge of a second story in Jersey City. Rush ing to help, he caught her in his arms as she fell, then left, wanting no praise. He makes up for many that do not give their seats to ladies in street cars. An eighteen-year-old girl, alone and in egony, gave birth to a child; and, according to police, immediate ly killed it, dropping it from a roof. A jury convicted her of man slaughter, and the judge let her go on probation; she must report once a month to prove that she is be having. Four jurors that helped convict her told the judge they re gretted their verdict.

The bureau of agricultural eco nomic* also has been doing some population estimating. It says the back to ths farm movement of the depression years has halted and that the farm population remained practically stationary during 1838. being 31.KM.000 at the end of that year. This figure, the bureau says, was only slightly greater than In 1920 and “somewhat leas” than in 1910 D ROCEEDINGS lasting nineteen 1 minutes in the court of assizes at Ipswich, England, sufficed to give marital freedom to Mrs. “Wally” Simpson. * Justice Sir Anthony Hawke heard neatly arranged evidence of the infidelity of Ernest Simpson, who was not represented, and gruffly gave a decree nisi to the attractive American woman who has been and is the close friend of King Ed ward VIII. For six months she will be on probation, | technically chaperoned at all times, and if her behavior satisfies the king’s proctor she will be unquali fiedly free April 27 to marry again. Whether or not her new husband, if she takes one, will be King Ed ward is a question that only time and the two persons most directly concerned can determine. Mrs. Simpson returned from Ips wich to her London residence on Cumberland terrace, Regents park, and there told interviewers that she was angered and humiliated by the international sensation her divorce has caused. She said she might go abroad for a time but that she would never return to the United States because of “all the nasty things” said of her here. The Week, a radical London week ly, was the first English newspaper to carry an open reference to Mrs. Simpson’s friendship with King Ed ward. The article was at the same time a denunciation of the American press for giving the story such prom inence and of the British press for suppressing it entirely. It also made it clear that there would be wide spread opposiUon to x marriage between Edward and "Wally.” Pa pers from Paris and elsewhere out- *de the United Kingdom have been 1 greet demand m Ixmdoc. but of the vast majority of the DENITO MUSSOLINI ratUed his sword again on the occasion of the fourteenth anniversary of the Fascist march on Rome. “The Ital ian people,” he proclaimed, “today are ready and determined to defend as never before—with all their force right up to the last drop of blood— victory and empire.” As for Fascism, he said, "When it finds obstacles in its path, it throws itrelf against them and burns its bridges behind it.” N OT to be outdone in martial gestures by other nations, Japan trotted out her entire navy for review by Emperor Hirohito. It was the greatest fleet ever brought together in Asiatic waters, comprising 108 warships aggregat ing nearly 700.000 tons and manned by 40,000 men.

Goering urged all Germane to fol low the example of Retchafuehrer Adolf Hitler who he said, sots nei ther meat nor butter. The audience yelled with delight when the robust Gocnng told them he had lost 22 pounds by eating lees butter. Germany would prefer the old sys tem of International exchange of wares, but this now is impossible m a mad world, so Germany will build her factories, produce her own syn thetic rubber an^ her own sub stitutes for cotton and ocher ma terials for which she now must spend millions of dollars yearly, the gen eral declared. Mrs. Simpson \ f ANY American travelers join the English in mourning the death of Sir Edgar Britten, com mander of the great liner Queen Mary and commodore of the Cunard- White Star lines. He was stricken with paralysis in Southampton and died within a few hours. Sir Edgar was sixty-two years old and first went to sea as a lad of eighteen in sailing ships. He was knighted by King George V in 1934. U* IGHT armored cars escorted by ^ armed private guards and state police, carried a fortune of $25,000,- 000 from the estate of the late Col. E. H. R.

The fortune, which consists of the famous coin collection, valued at 5 millions; the stamp collection, valued at ZVi millions; a large amount of cash and securities, and a quantity of uncut diamonds, has been under constant guard at the Green home since his death.

S ECRETARY OF LABOR FRAN CES PERKINS announced that the third national conference on la bor legislation, designed to stimu late the raising of work standards through federal and state co-opera tive efforts, will be called into T UST about everything ^ »o a general European war la now ready.

The nations of the continent are lining up as Communist or Fascist, either In the constitution of their governments or in their active sympathies. The Immediate occa sion for their disputes is the civil war in Spain. Nearly all the conti nental governments and that of Great Britain joined in an agree ment of nonintervention, but that pact is about played out. Russia, accusing Portugal, Germany and It aly of aiding the Fascist Spanish rebels, has denounced the agree ment and declared she reserves freedom to help the Madrid govern ment; the accused nations deny the Soviet charges, and the noninter vention committee voted that Italy and Portugal were not guilty, the accusations either not being proved or referring to what happened be fore the international agreement went into effect. Italian counter charges, detailing 20 alleged acts of Russian aid to Spanish Socialists were laid before the committee for action. Portugal severed diplomatic rela tions with the Madrid government, and the representatives of the two countries were recalled. Dr. Ar- mindo Monteiro, Portuguese foreign minister, followed up this action by sending to Lord Plymouth, British chairman of the nonintervention committee, a long document accus ing Russia of having planned and brought about the Spanish civil war. He named the Russian diplomats, agitators and soldiers who, he charged, were directing the opera tions. He alleged that Moscow sought to start a revolution in Por tugal and thus provide a base for attacking General Franco’s Insur gent forces In the rear. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy have buried their differences for the time being and reached an agree ment on a united policy. This was outlined In a communique published after Italian Foreign Minuter Gale- azzo Ciano had conferred with Retchafuehrer Adolf Hitler. In the first piece Hitler end Mussolini In- form the world that they intend to recognize the insurgent government headed by General Franco as the legiUmaU regime m Spam, but they promise to respect the terms of the IMPKOVCO.

The Cross de Feu. a Fas cist organization headed by Col. Francois de la Rocque, was dis solved recently by the government end was succeeded by the new So cial party. Populaire, referring to the sub machine guns, said these “terrible weapons used by American gang sters” arrived from America through the port of Havre end through Holland. The paper added that the weapons are being planted in caches in Normandie and else where in the north of France. Fur thermore, according to Populaire, great quantities of tear gas bombs and tear gas pistols are arriving from Germany for the use of the Fascists. P REMIER MUSSOLINI, talking at Bologna, said that Italy’s “ol ive branch grows out of an immense forest of 8,000,000 bayonets”; and next day at Imola he told 70,000 listeners that he hoped for long pe riods of peace, but not for ’’eternal peace, which is absurd and impossi ble.” “The Italian people, which gave its blood for the empire, is ready for any other trial when the crucial hour approaches,” the Fascist chief shouted. “In order to make peace —just as to make love—it is neces sary that there be two.” We now come to the close of the third missonary journey of Paul. As he came to Jerusalem for the last time in his eventful life he was warned by a prophet, Agabus at Caesarea, that if he went up to Jerusalen he would be bound and given over to the Gentiles. Heroism of the highest and noblest type has characterized the follow ers of Christ in all times. Paul was not one to be deterred from what he believed to be God’s will by the probability that he would suffer. Like all who follow the Lord Jesus Christ in truth ha was I. Fearless, in PracUce as Well as Theory (Acts 21:12, 13, 27-34). Many there are who sing, 'TU go where you want me to go, dear Lord, I’ll be what you want me to be,” or smoothly repeat consecra tion vows, who are frightened away at the slightest difficulty, and who feel that they must have been mis taken about the Lord's will for their life at the first indication that hia guidance would interfere with their comfort or convepience. No such cowardice or vacillation was found in Paul. In the first place, he did not intend to have a holy purpose weakened by disheartening talk. How many young men and women have left a place of sacred meeting with God aglow with the purpose of serving Him In the foreign mission field, and then permitted an uninterested friend or relative or employer to talk them out of tt. In the second place, we find Paul carrying through hia purpose When he came to Jerusalem he was coun seled to enter the temple to take a Natartte vow, and thus to satisfy hia enemies Some have com mended Paul lor thus pacifying thoae oho withstood him. others strongly condemn him foe yielding. His purpose was good, but h»a act led to unfortunate results. An uv fun a ted Jewish mob saw him In the temple and wrongfully accused him of defiling the temple by bring ing a Greek into this hc>;y place A not ensues. sad Paul would have been killed had not the Ro man captain and hts band rescued him. Was Paul afraid* He .Im mediately turned hia arreM Into aa unsurpassed opportunity ta give a testimony and to make a defense of hia ministry (See Acta 21.40- 23 22). He admonished ethers to “be instant la season and mt of season” (II Tim. 4 t); he practiced what he preached He constantly ur fed faith In God. steadfastness ta the midst of Inals; he gave full proof of these things in hia owa ministry. In all this he did not seek his own glory, or any honor for hia own name The Christian hero knows nothing of heroism for pub licity's sake; he does not serve with an eye on the “grandstand ” Paul was actuated by a deep and a genuine II. Cencera fer the Salvation of His People (Rom 9:1-8). The Christian worker who knows nothing of “great sorrow and un ceasing pain” in hia heart over the plight of the unsaved does not fol low in the Pauline succession, nor does he know the heart of the Man of Sorrows. Paul surely did not wish himself separated from Christ, but was so deeply moved that he said he “could wish” it—if it were not wrong—in order to save his brethren.
