Landon Calls on G.O.P. A LT M. LANDON csme to the surface in e radio address to 17,000,000 Americans who voted for Mm in the last election, and es pecially to the Re publican party as a whole. He said he had called this “ra dio meeting'' to sug- gest ways and means by which "we, the minority party." can be of outstanding service to the country. The Kansan de clared President Roosevelt had failed as an administrator, had failed to follow the Constitution, and now was demanding increased power. “What he really needs is less pow er,” Mr. Landon asserted, “a posi tion that will force him to take the advice and counsel of other men of both parties—men whose hearts also are in the right place, but men who have had more experience and who know more about the practical application of government than he does." It is up to the Republicans, he said, to curb Mr. Roosevelt In his demands. He also discussed the war talk prevalent after the Presi dent's Chicago speech and said: “We are faced with a situation where he may make a mistake that would Indeed be tragic, that might lead to war. Close observers have increasing doubt If he thought his recent declaration through to its logical conclusion." In conclusion Mr. Landon said: "We have had a New Deal Now what we most need in America is a new yardstick—e yardstick to meas ure the ability and the accomplish ments. as well as the good inten tions, of public officials. “It is time to put a solid founds- tioo of workable legislation under the air castles which the President forever is blowing. “It is time to realise that we must apply the resources of the mind if we are to make the wishes of the heart come true.” I- —k— Farmers Warned on Loans E DWARD a. O’NEAL, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, headed a group of farm leaders who called on the Presi dent for the purpose of asking loans of 60 cents a bushel on corn to improve prices. It was understood Mr. Roosevelt warned that crop loans should not be pushed so high that the drain on federal revenues would become too heavy; and that he intimated that the budget would not permit great extension of loans at this time. However. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace subsequently told a press conference a government loan on this year's large corn crop “should be exceedingly desirable." He de clined to say what loan rate he fa vored. but conceded that a corn loan of about 46 cents a bushel would be comparable to the government'* 9 cent a pound loan on this rear * cotton crop. Credit System Praised PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, speak- * ing at the opening of the new Federal Reserve building in Wash ington. gave full praise to the fed eral reserve system as a most im portant part of the government’s plans tor economic stability and se curity. He said disastrous depres sions and booms could be avoid only by the development of f credit and monetary machiner of the nation. IP? That machinery, he continued, be steadily perfected and co- ited with aO other Instruments to promote the moot of oar human ity. free from the disastrous ex tremes of booms and depressions. Only in that way can our economic system and our democratic institu tions endure." Mr. Roosevelt avoided mention of the jittery condition of the stock markets, but before delivering his address he had seen Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and learned that the market was recov ering. due to heavy buying by bar gain hunters and perhaps to recov ery of confidence by investors. Among the many notable persons on the platform with the President was Senator Carter Glass of Vir ginia. who fathered the federal re serve system during the Wilson ad ministration. The veteran senator was loudly cheered. Roper Has a Program ~ ANIEL C ROPEJL D secretary of commerce, also made a speech in Washington, under the auspices of the Rotary club. His subject was the economic relationships of the nations of the western hemisphere, and he proposed this four-point pro gram which be believed would bene fit the entire world: 1. United action throughout the Americas for the publication of ver ified facts about every country, stressing constructive events and objectives rather than prejudice, crimes, and disrupting events. 2. The introduction into the edu cational system of every country study of other languages so that each country would be better pre pared in attitude and knowledge to help develop its own country. 'This means." he said, “that no country will exploit the resources of another country.” 3. Encourage tourist travel among all the Americas by truthful adver tising and better travel facilities. 4. Broader studies by the coun tries in the western hemisphere of each other's economic and social needs in the light of the individual country. New Budget Figures P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT found his estimate of $416,000,000 as the probable deficit for 1938 fiscal year was much too low. So be gave out new budget figures putting the prob able deficit at nearly 700 millions And it admittedly will be much greater unless the executive and congress achieve very considerable economies. Falix Warburg Dies pELIX M. WARBURG of New ^ York, one of the country's fore most financiers and philanthropists, died at his home at the age of sixty- seven. He was senior partner of Kuhn. Loeb A Co. international bankers. Between 1930 and 1930 he gave at leas: ten million dollars to various philanthropies, and for years he was active in the efforts to ; aid the Jews in Palestine and those driven from Germany by the Nazis.

The loyalists still were in possession of some strategic points in that sector. Occupation by the Italians and Germans of two island groups off the coasts of Spain was reported in Paris new* pa pen. It was alleged that the Italians ws had occupied the Columbre&s is lands only 40 miles off the east Med iterranean coast and had established a submarine base there. Normally the islands are occupied only by member* of a lighthouse crew. Germans were alleged to have oc cupied Alboran island. SO miles off the south Mediterranean coast and directly in the path of all shipping to and from Gibraltar. The Ger mans were said to have established a submarine base on the island, likewise used principally heretofore as a lighthouse station. N‘ Davis Davit Sant to Brussels ORMAN H. DAVIS is on his way to Brussels, Belgium, as bead of the American delegation to a con ference of the signatories of the nine • power treaty which, the optimists hope, will put an end to the warfare be tween Japan and China. More realis tic observers of the course of events have no such expec tation. for the pact has no “teeth” and the conferees can do little except talk. Associated with Mr. Davis, the ad ministration's roving ambassador, are Dr. Stanley K. Horn beck and Pierre poet Moffat as advisers. Rob ert T. Pell is the press officer and C. E. Bohlen is secretary of the delegation. Before sailing for Europe the dele gates received instructions from President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull, but these were not revealed to the public. The Invitation to the conference was issued by the Belgian govern ment "at the request of the British government and with the approval of the government of the United States." China and Japan are both signatories to the treaty. The for mer accepted the invitation to the Brussels meeting, but it was be lieved Japan would not be repre sented there. Tokyo has maintained the policy that the Sino^Japanese troubles must be settled without the intervention of other nations. Russians in W«st China T OKYO newspapers stated that 15 Soviet Russian [Janes, co-oper ating with Soviet land forces, had bombed Kashgar, Yarkand. Karg- halik. Khotan.

Lesson for NoTember 7 CHRISTIAN CHARACTER AND PEACE LESSON TEXT—Co loss! ana 3:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT—And let the peace of God rule In your hearts, to the which abo ye are called tn one body.—Coloe- alans 3:13. PRIMARY TOPIC—In His Name JUNIOR TOPIC—In His Name. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—How May I Have Peace? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Christian Cure for Strife. Armistice day is but a few days away, a fact which was probably in mind when the title of our lesson was chosen, for while it speaks of “Christian character" it also refers to “peace" But the peace spoken of here is the peace of God which is the result of peace with God and which issues in holy living. The only hope of this world for a real and lasting peace is in the winning of men and women to glad alle giance to the Prince of Peace, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ Altogether proper is the close con nection in Scripture between the most profound spiritual truth andtii practical holy living. Whether it be done in a land of enlightenment or in the midst of heathen darkness the teaching of the deep things of God brings forth in the receptive heart an appreciation of God's provision for our redemption, a consciousness and hatred of sin and an appropria tion of victory in Christ All three of these factors emerge in the study of our lesson. L "Seek These Things Which Are Aheve" (w. 1-4). Faith in Christ makes us one with him in his death and in his resur rection. We are therefore to live in resurrection power. Our Lord has entered into heaven, and is there seated at God's right hand. If we are in him, if we have died and arisen with him. we are dead to the things of this world and our one desire is to “seek those things which are above." ; The mystic union of the believer with Christ brings us so close to God our Father that we may say with the poet: “Near, so very near to God. Nearer I could not be. For In the person of His Son I am as near as He.” We are “hid with Christ in God.* He is our very life. Note however that this Alnion with Christ ex presses itsinKn a most practical manner furore as Christians are admonished to H. “Mortify Tour Members . . . ■pm the Earth" (w. 5-9). The most spiritual Christian is the one who is most sensitive to sin and most earnest in his purpose that it should be mortified—which means “put to death." We may not temporize—we must not com promise with sin. Put it to death. The list of things which are to be put away include a number of sins which we recognize at once as ut- Washington.—Thera Is much talk among the Republicans, both for and against, coiv G- O- ceming the pro- Confmrmncm posal to hold a * general party con ference early next year. The plan projected would bring together dele gates from every state just the same as the convention that is held every four years for nominating the presidential and vice presidential candidates and formulation of party policies through adoption of a cam paign platform. The question has many angles and in consequence many pros and cons already have been advanced. In natural consequence also, some very well-known Republicans have taken definite decisions, either for or against the plan which has the ap proval of men like John Hamilton, chairman of the Republican national committee, and former President Herbert Hoover. Some very splen did men find themselves honestly in opposition and have said so in un equivocal terms. The issue will be fought out at a meeting of the national committee early in November and probably there will be such a convention early in 1938. As I have said, there Is argument on both aides but after discussing the situation with many Republi cans, it appears to me that the ad vantages outweigh the disadvan tages. I say this irom the stand point of the country at large. Many times in these columns, I have expressed the conviction that a strong minority party, whether that party be Republican or Demo cratic, is a very healthy condition for the country as a whole. A po litical party with too great a ma jority is likely to run away with itself and do many unsound things. We have had proof of this during the Roosevelt administration and we had proof of it during the adminis trations of the late President Har ding and President Coolidge when Republicans had too many members of the house and the senate and the Democratic minority was impotent X cannot speak from a Republi can standpoint any more than I can speak from a Democratic stand point Nevertheless, from the posi tion I attempt to follow as an ob server of national affairs and long range national policies, it does seem that the Republicans ought to quit fighting among themselves and get together to oppose that which the present minority in this country finds objectionable in President Roosevelt's policies. They ought to determine on a set of principles and stick to them. It is their obli gation and if they fail to fulfill that obligation, it seems to me they had best disband, get rid of those who attempt to be leaders in the Repub lican party and let somebody else organize the minority faction in the United States—and it is to be re membered that even in the last elec tion there were almost 16,000,000 Re malice, and so forth. Lying and shameful talk are condoned by some (and practiced by many). We have a rather long list of what Dr. Van Dyke called by the anomalous name of “Respectable Sins of Nice Peo ple.” But a realization of what it means to be a Christian at one* rules out as sinful indeed those things which may be received with Roosevelt's policies as I am in my disagreement with others of the pro gram to which the New Dealer has adhered. A strong and vocal minority will Insure the retention of rights and powers in the hands of the people where they belong and at the same time it will compel Democrats to stick together in carrying out sound a false cloak of respectability policies proposed by the President among some who profess to follow That latter statement may sound paradoxical. I think it is not I m. “Pte Oa the New Mas’* (w. make the statement because I know 11-17). Christianity is positive. We put off sin—we put on righteousness. Knowing no lines of racial or creed- al distinction we recognize Christ as “all and in all.” Then as “God’s elect, holy and beloved." we are clothed with the Spirit of Christ Tenderhearted, kind, lowly, meek, of a forgiving spirit long-suffering; all these Chnstlike ways of living how many times the gigantic Demo cratic majority in congress has fought over trivialities and because I know how many times sincere op position to unsound policies has met with defeat without the country knowing the reasons for that oppo sition. Taken all in all, therefore. I be lieve it is an obligation upon me as an observer of national affairs to should appear in those who are hid declare in favor of a movement by with him in God. As the encircling band which holds together these beautiful and precious virtues, we have love, “the bond of perfectness” (v. 14). These outward manifestations of our oneness with Christ have an in ward controlling power—for in our hearts “the peace of Christ” is to “rule.” The word means to serve as “umpire,” as a referee in times of difficulty. There in the Christian man’s inmost being we also find the “word of Christ" dwelling, really the minority party that will result in a concentration of its power for the good of the nation. And what, one may ask. should be the creed of the minority party next year? Well, as I see the picture, the Re publican party must be the conserv ative party in What of the United States, tfce Crood? President Roose velt and his New Dealers cannot avoid being the rad ical party. I have said 'his many abiding, and not in scarcity but “richly.” Small wonder that there time* in these columns and it is Is in such a heart a never-ending more evident now even than when 1 aoctg which glorifies God s grace reported upon the situation earlier, and which helps and admonishes ^ conservatives can and should otben. have a voice in their government Our final ve*se sums up the life even if it is only an opposition voice of the Christian, for in whatsoever, that constitutes a balance-wheel he does there is but one motive, one j willing thankful re- to ti*e will at God. He does that he cannot do in the name at the Lord Jesus. It is a gloriously simple and delightful life Dear reader, if you are not saved, not a Christian, win you not taka Christ as year Saviour just now? Proceeding from that premise, therefore there can be little argu ment that die principles which the Republicans advocate should be drawn from principles at govern mental policies that have proved sound That is to say. the Repub licans cannot afford to attack Mr. ha has terly inconsistent with a Christian profession. But note also that there publican voters, are a number of them which are all In advocating this action, I am too common among Christian peo- not motivated as much by my belief pie — covetousness, anger, wrath, j in and support of some at Mr. done, but they can tear him po litically limb from limb with con structive proposals to take the placa of those things he has done which represent discouragement, deceit and disaster to the countiy’s eco nomic life. There will be no gain for the Re publicans in 1938 elections if they at* v tempt to ride two or three differenr horses as they did in 1936. For ex ample;. they cannot do as Candidate Landon did, to wit, call for a bal anced budget in one speech and ad vocate being Santa Claus in anoth er; they cannot blow hot and cold, and, therefore, they must be either conservative or radical. It seems to me the Republicans can probably plan for an immediate balancing of the national budget. In that connection, they can with justi fication demand curtailment, if not entire elimination, of many govern- S ental functions inaugurated under e New Deal They can offer con structively a proposal to legislate out of existence some 20 or 30 fed eral agencies for which there never has been and is not now any ex cuse for their existence. Another question that Is crying for attention is the huge national debt, now at $37,- National 000,000,000, t h a Debt highest in history. That debt must be reorganized and placed on a basis that will permit gradual liquida tion of it The Roosevelt adminis tration has done nothing regard ing the debt except to build it higher and higher. If the Republican party wants to do a constructive job it ought to set to work to examine all of the statutes enacted by congress in the last ten or twelve years and espe cially those enacted in the haste of the emergency with a view to re pealing of many of them. Some can and should be rewritten to make them workable. Those statutes placed on the books by the Roose velt administration constitute out standing evidence of the lack of opposition. We all know many of those bills were written in execu tive departments and sent to con gress with instructions to pass them unchanged. Bad legislation has re sulted many times and a checkup surely is indicated. As regards legislation now on the statute books, it seems to me we will never have sound prosperity un til certain laws that increase pro duction costs are eliminated. I mean by this that there are numerous laws which have the effect of widen ing the spread between the price of the raw materials and the price of the manufactured products. Legis lation of this kind is bound to force down the prices paid to the pro ducers and, in my opinion, the re sults are beginning to be reflected on products of the farm. Probably the most delicate ques tion with which the Republicans are confronted relates to wages and hours of labor. Business interests have been shortsighted. Too many times employers have overworked their employees and have shown but little consideration for the rights of labor. The result is that labor is j demanding consideration in the shape of protection at the hands of its national government and the Re publicans, whether they desire to or not, must take a stand. Among other principles upon which 1 think the Republicans as , the conservative Then, There $ p ar {y purely can Thete agree is that there is too much gov ernment in business. The govern ment itself is engaged in many lines of commerce and industry and it is breaking down private enterprises in countless ways. I regard the function of government as a thing to be confined to matters and enter prises which individuals cannot do as individuals. We might use the postal service as an example. No one would be so silly as to say that the postal service could be operated satisfactorily in any other way than as an agency of the federal govern ment In contradistinction to the postal service, however, we can point to such things as the building of model homes for private citi zens. 1 think the government has no business at ail in that fl»ld. This is so, first because of the tremen dous waste accompanying any gov ernmental operation and. second, for the reason that private persons who are holders of funds whether the amount is great or small recog nize real estate mortgages as sound investments. I need not mention the red tape or the politics that can choke up any such thing as a government housing development I could go on and mention numer ous other general principles upon which there can be honest dif ferences of opinion. It is upon these questions where differences are hon est and not created for political rea sons that the Republican party should express itself. It ought to do this if it is going to be repre sentative of opposition sentiment • WaaUnt Nawapape* Uatow. Home Heating Hints 'ZX* Building Furnace Fire Is Easy Operation When Yon Follow Few Simple Roles r ''S really no trick to build a good furnace fire quickly and easily. Leave a layer of ashes about two inches deep spread on the grates. Spread about two inches of coal over this layer of ashes. Over the coal, place a generous amount of kindling—newspapers and Sight, dry wood. The turn damper in the smoke pipe and the ashpit damper should be open wide. If the ashpit damper Lm Dowpf OAMPffi tel 01 Off* COAl KtNOUt* on your furnace is in back, open it and also the ashpit door in front. This assures* maximum draft and quick ignition. When the kindling is burning well, add fresh coal gradually. In this way you get a deep fire in little time—the kindling bunting the coal beneath it, and the fire, in turn, igniting the coal above it. From time to time, add additional fuel until you have a solid, deep fire. When this is done, check your dampers and close the ash* pit door. Should the kindling while ignit ing smoke a bit through the fur* nace door crevices, it is due to the chimney being cold and not providing enough draft to carry eff the smoke. This is easily overcome by wadding a bit of newspaper, lighting it, and in* serting it into the check damper. This heats the air, creating a draft in the flue pipe and chimney and carries the smoke away. CONSnMTEDr What a difference good bowel habits can make!
