Secretary of State Hull issued a statement to this effect asserting that Japan's action in China was inconsistent with the principles that should govern the relationships between nations and was contrary to the provisions of the two treaties. It was indicated that the United States would participate in a con ference of the powers signatory to the nine-power pact, which was called for by the league. Fifty member nations of the league voted for the resolution branding Japan as an invader and treaty violator and warning of more drastic action if Tokyo does not mend its ways. China was assured of the moral support of these pow ers. which agreed to take no action that would weaken China's power of resistance. Poland and Siam re frained from voting. The Aga Khan.

UhJi/vihd about S ANTA MONICA, CALIF.— A society is forming in England for the defense of the former Edward VIII, now, the duke of Windsor and hon orary citizen of all places in this country named for the Simpson family. This society does not hope to re store the duke to the throne. That would not only an noy the archbishop of Canterbury, he al ready having things to annoy him, such as Americans, but would seriously up set Mr. Stanley Baldwin, who upsets ao easily that it •eems strange the British never have thought of calling him Reversible Stan.

Black emphatically declared his devotion to the principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. "When this statement is ended,'* he concluded, “my discussion of the question is closed." There was a definite note of de fiance in Black’s address, but it is fair to assume that the American public was not satisfied with his ex planation. From all parts of the country came renewed protests against his presence on the Supreme court bench, and various large asso ciations “resoluted” about it Many of the senators who voted to con firm his appointment because they accepted the assertion of his friends that he was not a Kluxer are re sentful at the deception practiced on them—but what can they do about it now? When Justice Black took his seat the chamber of the Supreme court was crowded to capacity.

A T LAST some rational excuse— in moral values, anyhow—has been found for a so-called national beauty contest The seventeen-year-old New Jer sey girl chosen as “Miss America of 1937" is not going into vaudeville, is not going to make any personal appearances, is not coming to Holly wood for a screen test is not going to accept a radio contract, is not even going to write her life story for publication. She will return to school and to the normal home life of a well-raised normal girl—that is, unless she changes her mind about it all. If she shouldn’t change her mind, she stands out as probably the san est young person of her age at pres ent residing on this continent or, should we say, this planet If she should change her mind— well the American populace has been fooled many a time and oft be fore. Our grandfathers didn’t be lieve human beings ever could fly. Our fathers didn’t believe anybody would ever lick John L. Sullivan. Only the other day our United States senators didn’t believe their fellow- statesman. Mr. Black of Alabama, could be a Klansman. They thought that low but persistent sound of “Ku-Klux. Ku-Klux” was but the voice at a modest hen. nTDf S. COB* Washington.—It may be, aa I have frequently been told, that the aver- age person—Mr. Federal John Q. Public— Reserve has very little in- “ terest in the do ings of the federal reserve system. It may be true that the average citizen accepts the federal reserve banks as a thing apart and of little or no concern to him because they are so far removed and. further, because they indulge in what the demagogues used to call “high fi nance.” Whether my information is cor rect and regardless of the public concept of the federal reserve sys tem, I am devoting some space this week to a discussion of certain de velopments in the federal reserve banking structure in an attempt to show the trend of money conditions in this country at the moment Lately, the federal reserve board of governors announced a revision of its regulations governing dis counts and advances by federal re serve banks. Now, it may be said that these regulations affect only the banks that are members of the re serve system. That ia true but It is not the whole truth because ev erything that the federal reserve board of governors and the federal reserve banks do affects you and me and everyone else whether ere ere little fellows and. therefor*, un important Individually or whether we are trustees of great sums at money such as is the case with cor poration president*. rd at governors, to the tt it* regulation*, has it poaslbla tf mat obligatory— to take ai- any kind at paper Out to aa That is. the re- s I that Msmb that a di te give Butt ftar *e evtdsae* af feel familiar with * note or a mertgape an a of reel estate.

All at this obviously sounds as though the federal reserve system is at last to bo helpful to us little fellows. That la true It la going to be helpful to Increasing the num ber at us little fellows who get our selves in debt It Is going to do that because It makes getting Into debt easier. 1 think no one should object to the reserve board regulations ut all details. There must be credit given where credit Is needed; that Is to say when you prohibit borrowing money you choke off eighty-five per cent of all of the business done in the United States. Yel credit is dangerous, a double-edged sword and must be handled with extreme caution by the borrowers as well as by the lenders. As we have seen from the Inglorious debacle of 1929. there can be too much credit ex tended. and when I say that 1 refer not only to loans by banks but the sale of goods, wares and merchan dise that enter into everyday life. And. going a bit further on that line, there can be too much cred it extended by the manufacturer and jobber to retail merchandising establishments just as easily as there can be too much credit ex tended by the retail merchants to you or to me. One can get into debt over his head just as easily by purchasing at retail or wholesale as by buying more land than we can afford to own or a home larger than we need. So, a discussion of what the board of governors of the federal reserve system has done can lead in this mstance only to a conclusion that danger flags are waving. I do not want to exaggerate pres ent conditions or signs as I see them. t This is no time to Don t Get become excited. Excited There are, how ever, boundaries beyond which we cannot go in the matter of credit without facing an other tailspin gf the type of 1929. That is the thing I fear may result from an accumulation of federal policies of which the late action by the federal reserve board ia only one. It is perfectly human and natural for each one of us to aspire to better things, to have more of this world’s goods for our enjoyment and to equip ourselves by way of (treater resources lor the future. We will do those things sometimes when we ought not to do them simply be cause the instruments are available and we do not stop to count the ul timate cost To the extent, then, that the federal reserve board probably has made borrowing easier it has tempted a certain percentage of cit izens, or will tempt them in the future. The condition of easier debt that is now presented is, as I have said, on ly one of many temptations and in ducements for getting into debt that has been offered by the Roosevelt policies. It is unnecessary to re count here how many pieces of legislation, how many executive and administrative rules have been made to permit citizens to use mon ey that is not their own. They are almost numberless. The result has been, is, and will continue to be the creation of a lot of debt that will hang over us all for years to come. The federal government itself has taken the lead in getting into debt. The latest Treasury statement shows that the United States government owes more than thirty-seven billion dollars. That amounts to $281 63 for every man. woman and child in the United States. Compare that with the national debt aa of 1983 when it stood at $19,300,000,000 or a debt of $133 99 for every living person in the United States.

The President said during a speech at Us* great Colum bia nver dam the other day that ha hoped to balance the budget in the next fiscal year. Most other people hope that the President's hope is realized because Mr Roosevelt has stated several limes that the budget will be balanced “next year” and some of us are beginning to wonder whether his budget balancing state ments are not like the statements which President Hoover made at the beginning of the depression. He said, you will remember, a num ber of times that “prosperity is Just around the comer.” a corner that still seems to be next year. • a • But Mr. Roosevelt must be com mended and criticized at the same time for his budg- Budget et balancing ideas. Balancing Mmd y° u - no criti cism can possibly be attached to the objective—a bal anced budget But commendation must give way to criticism on some of the things that are happening under the flat order for a reduction in spending. Take this case for example: The National Park service, like other agencies, laid away ten per cent ol its operations. This impounding ol money happened to coincide with the greatest flock of visitors ever tc enter the gates of the country's na tional playgrounds. It costs money to police and protect the parks; it requires funds to provide for th« comfort of the throngs of visitors tc national parks. The result, in the case of several parks, was that they were forced to close their gates tc visitors from a week to a month earlier than they usually do in the fail Their money had run out Well say you, what harm does that do? Simply this: Visitors to national parks, such as Yellowstone, for example, pay much more for entrance fees and the things they must buy while in the parks than it costs the government to maintain the parks. But that is the crux in this situa tion. The National Park service does not keep the money that is paid in by park visitors. Those fundi are turned directly into the treasury as general revenue. The books ol the National Park service, there fore. show only outgo.

Lesson for October 24 CHRISTIAN RENEWAL LESSON TEXT—Titus 3:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT—For the grace of God that brlngeth salvation hath ap peared to all men.—Titus 3:11. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Good Shep herd. JUNIOR TOPIC—In His Likeness. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—A New Life In Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Renewed Life Through Christ. The pastoral epistles, of which Titus is one. were written by Paul to his young brethren in the faith who had been called to the ministry of the gospel to instruct them concern ing three important matters—(I) Church order and organization, (2) sound doctrine and (3) holy living. The third chapter of Titus, our lesson for today, deals with the life of believers in Christ in their rela tion to unbelievers. The great un derlying reason why Christiana should conduct themselves in meek ness and humility toward others is that except for God’s grace we who bear the name of Christ would be, and indeed were before our regen eration. just like the unbeliever.

Now—we are ready to approach in the right spirit the admonition to live out our salvation as a daily testimony to others. III. Witnessing, by Holy Living (vv. 1.2. 8-11). The young preacher Titus is told to “put them in mind” to be 1. Subject to rulers (v. 1). True patriotism (and we did not spell it "pay-triotism") stands very close to godly living. National leaders would do well to recognize that the decay of our national life will follow the decadence of spiritual life. A man who is right with God will be right with hjs fellowmen, and a no ble and useful citizen. 2. Meek and kind to all men (v. 2). Meekness is not weakness. Gentle ness is the attribute of strong men and women. The brawler, the loud talker is a weakling. Truly great men are always simple in their wants, kind in their spirit, gentle toward others. 3. Maintaining good, avoiding evil (vv. 8-11). It is the tendency of man to divorce morals from reli gion, to profess a faith which does not touch his daily life. Let us af firm “constantly” and “confident ly” (as the R. V. has it) that those who believe in God should “be care ful to maintain good works”—yes, and at the same time to "avoid” that which is “foolish,” contentious, "unprofitable and vain.” F RESH fruit piea dr* alwgjs good, but freah grape pies srd worthy of superlatives in deacrij^ tion.
