In his selfishness Lot chose a wicked city and riches, the record of him ends in the cave to which he 3ed from the ruin of Sodom. But Abraham retained his wealth and grew in his knowledge of God. When he was 99 years old, God ap peared unto him to renew cove nant with him and promise him the fatherhood of many nations. History shows* the fulfillment of this promise. Father of the Hebrew race, Abraham was the. ancestor, through Ishmael of the Arabs, and through the posterity of Keturah of teveral nomadic races, including ihe Midianites. Better than the fatherhood of <» many nations was the promise that he Lord would be the God of his people. This promise God has al ways kept with those who allow aim to do so. Alas! as was often true in Israel, God’s people may thwart his purposes for them. The promise was accompanied by a token and sealed with a rite, that >f circumcision, which was prac- Hsed by several ancient nations, in cluding the Egyptians and the • Vrabs, and is. regarded now as a vise thing. With the Israelites it vas given' a spiritual significance —that of purification. The rites oi Christians are baptism and the lojy communion, the one of initi- ition into the Christian life and the >ther of continued faith and fel lowship. From whatever quarter of the vorld you trace your blood stream icknccwledge your debt to Abra lam as a spiritual father of be lievers, who has left them a her:- :age of faith which has survived he ancient kingdoms that claim** dm as their founder.

Domestic vegetable oils I The Middles By Bob Karp Strangle Hold COMiRESS MOVES (W GIUBAL OMim Financial Measures Would Help Promote World Trad Ok Xs By A1 Jedlicka ' As the Big Three met for their historic conference in Berlin, the senate moved for passage of important economic legislation and the United Nations security charter to as sure U. S. participation in postwar international co-opera tion to prevent future war. While President Truman discussed the new Europe with Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin, the senate acted not only to pledge American*^ forces for the preservation of peace, but also to furnish over 9 billion dollars for the reconstruc tion of the shattered continent and the facilitation of foreign trade. As a result of the seAate delib erations, the U. S., with its fabu lous resources and vast industrial and agricultural potential un touched by warfare, loomed as the stabilizing pillar of the new world the Big Three plotted in the for mer German capital. ‘ Because the security charter was dramatically drawn up by dele gates from 50 United Nations in the palatial setting of the San Francis co opera house, senate considera tion of its ratification has over shadowed the upper chamber’s de liberations of the Bretton Woods monetary agreements and an in crease in the lending powers of the Export-Import bank. Dealing with the exterior and more comprehensible actions of na tions, the security charter has found wider popularity than the more abstruse financial measures designed to promote economic stability, and concerned with such intricacies as foreign exchange, long term loans, bills of exchange, etc. Nevertheless, it has been gen erally agreed that without eco nomic equilibrium, the various na tions again will be thrown into com mercial conflict, with subsequent tariff barriers, etc., and the in evitable sequel of war. Like the security charter, th'- Bretton Woods monetary a t. ments lack perfection, prop' <■ s admit. But in furnishing tht ' um for the advancement oi for a nation to trade with or basis, and for long-range ness reconstruction, they promise for the stimulation nomic revival. The Bretton Woods me -' : agreements include the $9. 000 bank -for long term ’.oar the U. S. contributing $3,175.1. and the $8,800,000,000 fund for ing foreign currency availa: trade, etc., on fair terms wi U S. putting up $2.750,000.fK all. the U. S. stake in two institutions would total n i $6,000,000,000. While file so-called bank he ceived general approval, th- has been widely criticized, w ponents declaring that less nations would draw upon the rencies of sounder countries leave their own weaker exc in the coffers. Ordinarily, the •- of a nation’s exchange is depe> upon internal conditions, currency selling at a discount small demand, as * when t stagnates. Under the Br Woods fund, however, less s- nations could obtain exchange v. out markdowns, but opponents say that this privilege would not en courage them to get their house m order to right their currencies, as would be the case under normal conditions. Because nations need money to settle their trafie balances or pur chase goods, ability for less stable countries to obtain exchange at fair rates would at once serve to stimu late and stabilize world economic relations, proponents of the fund argue, thus contributing to more settled conditions. While the objective of the fund is to allow nations to-secure curren cies for immediate needs, such as trade and .services, the purpose of the bank is to furnish loans for the economic development of coun tries to enhance their productive capacity for internal as well as for eign trade. Under provisions of the bank, the institution can lend money or guarantee private loans. Despite its general acceptance, the bank has not been free of criticism with some experts point ing out that its approval would Derm it a flood of foreign securities ■ n the U. S.. backed not only by the sound currencies of America and 'v]. :i in, but less stable countries as well. In addition to the Bretton Woods monetary agreements, the senate :v vri to consider increasing the cmu. g powers of the Export-Im- ;-v..rt bonk from $700,000,000 to $3,- oG0.C00.G00 to advance funds for the nut* to and purchase of goods o-Din foreign countries. According ' : iij inistration leaders, the in- - ' sed authorizations would be • f *. ;o promote trade before the .cnc that the Bretton Woods mone- arv agreements would come into effect. {.me the security charter, the •lal measures encountered i para lively easy sailing. Widely •arced and without effective indi- il or partisan opposition, the u'Idus acts demonstrated the nimous desire of congressmen make an attempt toward the t aceful solution of problems a ring the seeds of war.
