which is interfering with others
turning to civilian production Mr.
Kaiser says that we now have jflen
tv of steel and aluminum. as .veil t
as other materials, to take care of
; all war needs and have plenty left
; over for normal manufacturing The
: main thing Mr. Kaiser asks from 1
the government is that ii relax its;
controls over machine tools so that
! industry can go ahead with a sound
plan to produce all the war geivis
that are needed plus a gradually
increasing supply of civilian goods
Any action on actual approval of
?i reconversion plan of this kind
must, of course, wait unt'l the rou
tine of government gets back to
normal after the election. There is
? no doubt that having an election at

1 with the progress of government
postwar planning. In the opinion
of many government heads and war
loaders there couldn't have been a
worse time to have an election. But
it is hoped that the congressional
committees, the government bu
reaus and the cabinet officers who
are formulating these all important
plans will make up for the delays
as soon as the election fight is over.
Government 'vorkers do not. seem
to anticipate a change in adminis
t ration on January 20, although
most anyone you talk to hero will
admit th-ii it is going to he a close
election. With most congressmen

Acts ii.y-H!. 34. 35: l?:22-3!:.

The Hebrews of Juaoa were a;
croud yf ople who despised the fiesv
iik-sf and hao "no |wm with thei
Sc-r-scritans.' Thus Jesus told the I
story of the G?od Samaritan when 1
the Jewish lawyer asked, 'Who is
my neighbor?" The story rebukes a j
narrow racial pride, its chief teac.h
i!!^ is that one's ne:ghVx>r is the I
miui m need, whoever and wherever '
hi' may l>e.
Pti.-r was ?t first so narrow in
hii actions of the gospel that he re
quired 'he vision of the unclean
beasts to prepare him for the com
ing ol tr?- gfcntik-. Comeiius. Tht-n,
is; tin- coming <>f the first gentle cosi ?
vert Peter declared, "Of a truth 1
pcrceiv ? thi-.t Clod no respecter of
per sc. ns."
The case was reversed when Paul
: appears on Msrs Hill. Not the mes
senger but the people who heard the
! message needed to be prepared. The
Greeks, the most cultured people of
! antiquity . whose influence is still
I felt in the world's art and thought,
| regarded all others as barbarians,
i Paul faced a great task in perjuad

from a lone preacher of the gospel.
He struck straight at the national
pride by teilmg thorn that God lias
"made of one blood all nations o!
men " And he closed by declaring
that God commands :<!! men every
where to repent.
i To look well to themselves is the
! fiisi great need of men. As men get
? right with God. they should get
right in their attitude t.nvard oth
ers. Sharing in the love of Christ,
they will be led to share with oth
ers Only in the spread of true re
ligious can we find a solution of
race problems and a sense of respon -
sibility that will be all-inclusive.
