Washington now is "Peace." Hie

at Kraut for the time being,
government officials are turning
uieir attention to domestic peace.
Peaco Petwe-.u capital and labor,
particularly ye ace between the administration
and business. are tlx;
themes of the moment.
There is great apparent effort being
made by the President's intimates
and spokesmen to make personal
political capital for Mr. Roosevelt
out of the fact that he sent two
personal rvesaages to Adctf Hitler
urging the Relchafuortirer to oettle
the Czechoslovakian dispute by conference
ami not by force.
Particularly do those who seek to
impute great credit tc Mr. Roosevelt
3tress the fact that he cabled to
Mussolini, urging the Italian premier
to join in the MXintch confer
ence as a conciliator. Mussolini dicl
receive Mr. Roosevelt's p3ea. he did
telephone to JFIiUer, and he did sit in
at Munich.
The difficulty with trying* to make
Mr. Roosevelt the hero of the Czech
settlement on that ground Is that
Mr Chamberlain, tlie British premier,
and M. Daladier, the head of the
Kjrench government, had already telephoned
their invitations ho Mussolini
/before the Italian Ducc heard from
"Mr. Roosevelt.
Many of the President's personal i
supporters, however, think their best
policy is to make as much capital for
their chief ur TK>ssfble out of the j
favorable cosrament which, iiis direct
appeal to ICitier evoked ail over the i
world. It was praised in their rc- j
spec live parliaments by Mr. Cham-1
bcrla and M. Daladier. It drew uii- j
stinting- approval from Mr. Roosevelt's
predecessor; Herbert Hoover, in
a public speech.
On the theory that the President's
action was the decisive turning point
in the international dispute about
Czechoslovakia, ardent New Deal enthusiasts
are pu?ti:.g forward the
slogan. ''Hie helped keep the world
from war," for use tn the currant

Talk on Pctic?
Peace was the theme of an in-:
spired talk to newspaper men at j
Hyde Park, the President's country!
home, by an uu*uairuxl "White
j House spokesman." This was at; \n?
novation for the present administra
i tiOG.
| "When Ca.lvir. Coolidjge was Presi- i
. dent he used to tell newspaper men ,
i thirty for which he did not want to
| take personal responsibility, and say
I that they could use them as coming
j frcr.i '*A spokesman for the White
House." The subterfuge fooled no-J
j body but sometimes 'saved face" for;
! Mr. Cooiidge and always gave him a |
i chance to deny that lie had ever saki
>anything of the .sort.
The "White House spokesman"
was thought to be dead and buried
until he was resurrected a couple of
weeks ago to tell the world that the
administration ardently desired peace
f between capita! and industry and the
| government.
The "spokesman" thought tliat
; couid be brought about th*- way peace
j in Europe was brought about, if only 1
; industry would stop ''rattling the j
| sabers'' and sit down at the confer- j
; ence tabic with government.
To which Charles Kook. president ?
of the National Association of Manu- i
fact wens, replied that .so fur as j
ui vvx'vci '.icvi 5'.' v i ??- ;
| ir.ent has done more of it than in- !
clustry. and that the Uungs business
most earnestly desires are. exactly
what government desires better
business, more security for wageearner,
peace with organized labor.j
aiki, most of all. -peace between busi- I
ness ami government. |
New Step Uncertain
Just what the next stop will be !
toward greater co-operation for in - j
dustrial and economic peace it is dif ;
ficuit to estimate; but regardless <)f j
internal friction, the e durance that i
there will be no immediate European j
war has proved a stimulant to busi- j
ness confidence, evidenced b.v a sharp
rise in security prices on the stock
exchange which some observers he."
hail as tht: beginning of a general
rise in prices of all commodities and
which others deplore as a possible
herald of a speculative boom.
Another international problem to
which the administration is giving
attention and consulting with other
nations is that of the great numbers
of Jewish refugees who are being
forced out of Germany. Austria ind
Italy and have no place to go. Quota
limits under our immigration laws
have room for only a small percentage
of them to be admitted to the
United States, and there is little
likelihood of congressional action to
increase the quotas, which are, moreover,
011 a national and not a racial
basis.
Problem of Refugees
The solution which Is being considered,
and which has been submitted
to the British government as well
as to ours, is thai of inii^ino- Ml-.
J
three Guianas. the British, French j
and Dutch colonies on the northeast
Erg coast of South America, into an |
independent Jewish nation.
It would have many advantages j
over Palestine, where there not only
is not room enough for all the Jews
who wish to go there, but there are ;
few natural resources.
The Guianas are fertile, undeveloped,
believed to contain much mineral
wealth and oil.
The scheme, put forward by responsible
leaders, is for the United
States to sponsor and assist in the
establishment of the new Jewish
state, by cancelling the war debts of
Great Britain and France in exchange
for trade concessions and as
a contribution to the solution of the
l-efugee problem, to wnich Britain
and France would contribute by ceding
their entire Guiana colonies.
At first glance the scheme sounds
fantastic, but it is being given serious
consideration here.
The ancients believed the emerald
benefited the eyes and the amethyst
prevented drunkenness.

GOKD?N TEXT?Remember the Sabbath |
day. to wep it holy.?ExodwS 20".P.
Rest?hew full of meaning that i
little word is when we recall that
it means quiet for the struggling \'
one. cairn for the troubled, repose :
for the weary, tranquillity for the |
disturbed, cessation of labor for the j
worn-out one. God u\ His infinite j
wisdom saw that without rest man I
would soon destroy himself, and He | j
made provision for one day in sevc-n i
when labor should cease and mar.
should be free for that re-creation jj
of soul and body wiuch should lit
him for the labor of the week. Men
in their greed have coveted the time I
God gave for rest and have used it
fcr themselves, ar.d the ragged j
nerves and broken bodies, to say
nothing of the impoverished spirits
of out day, testify that it can be
done only at our peri!.
Our study centers around Scrip- i
ture passages which have to do with ,
the Jewish Sabbath, but since it was !
essentially a day of rest, and afford- j
ed an opportunity for the worship |
of God, the principles surrounding it
are applicable to oar day of rest?
the first day ot the week, the Lord's '
L>av.
I. VVhv tie Ivecp a Day ol ISest
(Exod. 21:8-11).
1. God comma::.led that there
should be a uay n; rest?one out of
seven?ar.d that should be sufficient j
to cause His people to "remember"
the day "to keep it holy " It is
cause lor grave concern that Sunday
has become : day of swimming,
hiking, auto-driving, golfing, ar.d one
might go on with 'he list almost
indefinitely Mary men or women
who have had built into their own I
characters the stalwart virtues nurtured
by faniilv attendance at the
house of God. iiave not only forgotten
their own need and responsibility
but are destroying every vestige
of interest in divine worship in
the hearts of their children. It is
serious business to go astray oneself.
but infinitely more serious to
mislead one's own children.
Notice that the day of rest was
to be not only for the family but j
also for servants and for visitors, j
The employer who operates his factory
or office on Sunday violates
mis commandment. Note also that i
the man who is to rest on the seventh
day is supposed to work on the
six days. Some folk neglect to do
both.
2. God s command is strengthened
by the divine example {v. 11). We
are not able to do all things that j
God does, but here we are privt- j
leged to follow His example. I
II. How We Keep the Day of Rest
(Luke 13:10-17).
The incident recorded oy Luke
does not give us on exhaustive list
of things to be done with our day of
rest, but it is interesting to note
that our Lord was
1. In the house of God tv. 10).
Jesus was in the synagogue. The
distinguished Apostie Paul never became
too great or too good to attend
divine worship We all need
to go to church (if it is at all possible
for us to do so) to fellowship
with others in the things of Christ.
Let us have a revival of church attendance.
and not only on Sunday
mornings, but also on Sunday night
and for midweek prayer meeting.
2. Alert to the needs of others (vv.
11, 12) It is not indicated that the
woman asked to be healed. Jesus i i
saw her need and met it. We can
not do what he did, but there are
needs that we can meet if we are
but alert to see them and willing to
help. !
3. Active in service (v. 13). In \
spite of the criticism which He knew
would come from the lazy and helpless
standers-by. Jesus did the work
of God. We may glorify God by being
ready?yes anxious?tc serve in
the church. Our daily work is set
aside on the Lord's Dav not that we
should be indolent, at that we
should be free to do the Lord's work.
4. Contending for the faith (vv. !
14-17). Jesus met the unjust criticism
(which, by the way, was leveled
at the poor woman because
the critic feared Jesus) by a masterly
appeal to the law of the Pharisees
(w. 15, 16) But He did more
than that, for He ably defended the
rights of humanity as superior to
the formalities of man-made law.
rhe law is always supreme until
Ihe Lawgiver comes, and no law
can hinder Him by its letter, as He
fulfills its spirit.
We may not speak as Jesus did,
that is to declare what the law is,
but we may in His name, and by
His grace and power declare the
full counsel of God, defend it against
its critics and withstand those who
while bearing the name of Christian
leaders only hinder the work of
Christ (compare III John 9, 10). For
such service we need His guidance,
His wisdom, His power, and His
grace.
