PAGE SIX The yfr eek in Washington A RESUME OF GOVERNMENTAL HAPPENINGS IN" THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Washington. July 16.?The ont certain outcome of the present presidential campaign. whicheves party wins the election, wiii be s clarification 01 the foreign policy of the United States, and probable material modifications in out* nation ill el l i 11 U'.l'. If.iilJU -lit" vr* fci.e world. Thai is the belief of th most xpcrhsoced observers t: Washington affairs The war In Europe. wttn its contingent threat of aggression again.-: this country, has brought tin attention of the 'average American etu zeri mere sharply toward out relations than at any time since Andrew Jackson won the Battle of Now Or leans at the end of the war of 1312 This is particularly true on the tv. t coasts. Tlie people of the American coast have always been more acutely con scious of foreign affairs than those of the middle west: and the Pacific coast has been, suffering, more 01 less, irom anti-Japanese jitters foi a quarter of a century or longer But now. Washington hears, the great region lying between the Alleghenies and the Kockics is begin ning to look with concern upon the international situation, also. "One thing which has occurred." said an official ox tile state department recently, "is that more Americans know about the Monroe Doctrine and understand its meaning and implications, than ever did before." From the state department's point of view, our relations with South America arc more immediate, vital inmortance than are our relations with any European puweg, bh'- : : less ot the ultimate outcome of thiB British-Fascist war. the fact of the penetration of German arid Italian I influence in Latin Vneriea remains I and the present administration n I determined to go the limit in culti vating such relations with. Centra! and South America that there will remain no mi nace to our national interests on this hemisphere. An i on tins poin' of hemispherical soli darity there apparent in Wash ingtoit no material difference between the two parties in the uo'.it ca! campaign row beginning. Lacic of Opposition Those who have been the mosl careful watchers of uublie sentimew as 'expressed in ccrtjfi as are frans to admit their surprise ai the almost total lack of opposition to the enormous defense program. Expendi lures authorized anu appropriation; made for the arrav, navy and an corps in the past three months ai leady total more than 10 billion dollars. with the prospect of another ? billions or so n- be spent before tlv. goal of a "two-ocean" navy and complete dt tense of the entire western her chore liaeheei. There has been almost no public protest, practically no opposite a from the opposition parly, although to carry oui such a program \\ 1 involve a great increase in the national debt, beyond the 45 bili.-iu statutory -imitation, h will also involve heavy increases in taxes, which will fall on everybody . Son of them went into effect the first of this month. Washington has hot yet heard a peep ot protest. While billions have been sgpr printed for additional armament-. there are critics in Washington wfc > are asking if the program for producing those armaments is moving along at full steam ahead. In general. there is great confidence in the ability of Mr. William Knudscr.. in charge of procurement, and the able assistants he has surrounded himself with, to get the nation's industrial machine geared to high-speed production as fast and effectively as anybody ear. do it. But there is questioning here as to whether the military and naval men have yet made up their minds just what they want the industrialists to make, and whether the heads of the cabinet departments have given the go-ahead signal. The navy is believed to be moving faster than, the army. The whole modern idea of a mechanized army still meets resistance on the part of the hiEher-lin -'brace bate " -.r.a tior.s as to the proper proportion of tanks, mobilt artillery, anti-aircraft guns and the like are said to be still undecidedStandardization Proceeding The effort to reduce the number of types of military aircraft to five or six. ar.d to gel the army and the navj to agree to use the same types for most purposes, is said to be making headway, and extension ot t'acilities for the manufacture of both aircraft and engines is understood to be proceeding rapidly There is stili considerable confusion as to what nrovisions will be made for increasing the personnel of the fighting forces, and the question of universal military serv ice, either by conscription or otherwise, is still wide open.

But all tHo while Job clung to his faith.

Consider some teachings of the i book of Job It proves thc-re is disinterested goodness: in the world. Job demonstrated that he served God, not beeai.se it paid, but because it was Goe s will. The uook also routes that ancient doctrine that suffering is always the punishment of sin. This doctrine, upheld by the i three friends, was denied when God .-aid they had not spoken of Job .hat which was right, and when Job wes restored to prosperity and happiness. Let the reader think of some of the blessings of suffering. Certainly it should bring closer to God any mai": who cries unto the Father for help. And we can safely trust Omnipotent Love and depend for abundant life upon Jesus who, in his suffering on the cross, offers life which is rich and full and free to those who trust in Him and follow Him.
