If those gentlemen cannot abstain
from cutting each other's throats
without the assistance and money of
the United States, why, then let
them cut each other's throats.
France is learning that the people
always pay the piper, whoever ,
the piper may be?a great conqueror
leading them to war, or a clever
politician loading them with taxes.
In France, sugar has gone up in
price; bread and veai have both
gone up; two sous \ kilogram for
bread, two sous a pound for veal,
and the government is held directly
responsible by the housewife as regards
the bread, for .he French government
fixes the price of bread
as ours fixes the price of postage
stamps.
Trailing behind England arid the
United States the French, with less
than 20 per cent of American unemployment,
are discussing great public
works to absorb the idle.
Billions are spoken of, but the
"millard." French word for "billion,"
means only one billion fourcent
pieces, the franc having been
reduced by government fiat to that
price. If a billion meant here 25,000
francs, equivalent to the American
billion when the dollar was
good, the French might well faint
away, although they are fundamentally
a rich people.
When Bismarck laid on France an
indemnity equivalent to $1,000,000,000,
after 1870, he thought he had
asked for about all France could
raise aftei a hard war. The French .
government offered bonds to pay
Bismarck, and the French people
subscribed to the loan 14 limes
over. Bismarck had guessed badly.
France is far richer now than
it was then.
French labor demands the 40hour
week and the government
agrees; it also demands wage increases
from 12 tc 17 per cent, and
that makes the country a little
thoughtful.
With a shorter week, diminished
production and higher wages,
bread, sugar, veal and many other
things must go up in price. Possibly
the French worker, who really
works, while he is at it, will man*
age to produce as much in 40 hours
as he has done hitherto in 4.3 or
more; even then increased wages
will be added to the price of living
and even the worker, who must pay,
will growl.
How long will America continue
pouring thousands ?f millions of dollars
into gambling, lottery sweepstakes
and other foreign enterprises?
It is interesting to read that in
the banks of Dubljn there are 25
millions of dollars undistributed
from the so-called "Hospitals
Sweepstakes." Hospitals did not
get it?yet.
It might also enlighten this government
to know that under the law
no mention can be made of the
sweepstakes gambling in England.
The English are too wise to let their j
money be drained off in any kind of
gambling enterprise, if it is not
ENGLISH.
School teachers, business heads, j
chambers of commerce, even cler- !
gymen, might find a good text in
Mr. Son, the young Japanese with
the determined face who won the
Jong marathon race at the recent
Olympic games in Berlin.
Not only could that marvelous ;
Japanese runner go, and keep going,
but there seemed no end to his ;
endurance.
Everybody can run, more or less,
but that by itself never wins a j
marathon.
The race for success in lite is a
marathon race, and real success depends
more than anything else on
your ability to KEEP GOING.

Civil War in Spain;
Likely to Be Long
AFTER more than five weeks of
* desperate fighting, neither the
Spanish loyalists nor the rebels
were able to claim a decided advantage.
and it became evident that
the conflict would be long drawn
out if the other European nations
could ko"p aioof. This latter eventuality
was made more probable
by Adolf Hitler's announcement
that the German government had j
ordered an embargo on arms to
Spain. He thus lined his country
up with Great Britain and France,
and Italy had accepted the French
proposal for neutrality, though with
some reservations.
These "neutral" nations, however,
do not intend to be imposed
upon and both the British and the
German governments made strong
protests to the Madrid government
against alleged violation of the freedom
of the seas. Five British war- <
ships set sail from Gibraltar and
Hitler sent seven from the Baltic ,
to enforce the demands that interference
with shipping cease. The
crews of these vessels were ready
for immediate action.
Germany's chief complaint was
that the steamship Kan.en. . had
been stopped and searched and not
permitted to enter the port of Cadiz,
Hold by the rebels. However, the
Kamerun proceeded to a Portuguese
port and, according to an
American correspondent, there unloaded
twenty-three car-loads of
war material that was sent across
Portuguese territory to the insurgents
at Badajoz and Salamanca.
Hebe! airplanes made their first
attack on Madrid, bombing two air
ports and allegedly destroying a
considerable number of loyalist
planes. This was in retaliation for
the airplane bombing by the government
of open cities held by the
insurgents.
Merciless slaughter of captives
and hostages on both sides continued.
Several Frenchmen who
were captured by the rebels while
serving with the loyalist troops
were executed, and word was sent
to France that the same fate awaited
any other French nationals
caught aiding the Madrid government.
The icbel leaders are especially
enraged against France, insisting
that many French planes
have been assisting the government
and that the loyalist force that invaded
Mallorca is composed laigely
cf French and Russian volunteers
using French munitions.

Crop Insurance
Can Be Developed
H OY M. GREEN of the Depart1^
ment of Agriculture, who ha?
been conducting a study of the subject
of crop insurance, says he is
confident a workable form of allrisk
crop insurance under federal
guidance can be developed. Secretary
Wallace and President Roosevelt
are deeply interested in the
matter.
At least four ventures by private
companies into this field in the last
thirty-seven years have met with
either bankruptcy or a lack of public
acceptance. Green said, but
added that a study had revealed
flaws which could be avoided.
Green conte-ied these efforts
failed because they were "income,
not crop insurance." By having |
farmers pay their premiums in
grain, and by paying losses the
same way, he argued, the danger !
of price changes would be eliminated.
Plotters Against Stalin

ed and accused one another until
the case was in a jumble. Some
of them, like Zinoviev. proudly accepted
responsibility for the plot,
which was said to have bee?i engineered
by the exiled Leon Trotzky.
AH sixteen were declared guilty
and executed by a firing squad.
Twelve more men and one woman,
the government announced,
were held for examination and
probable trial. Some of these were
involved by the confessions of the
sixteen conpirators.
Prosecutor Vishinsky said Gregory
Sokolnikoff, former ambassador
to the court of St. James, and M.
Seredyakoff, a former vice minister
of communications, were under
criminal charges. Under investigation,
he said, were Nicolai Sukharin,
editor of the government publication
Izvestia; Karl Radek,
prominent soviet commentator; M.
P. Tomsky, former chief of trade
unions and now head of the state
publishing house; Alexei Rykov,
commissar of posts and telegraphs,
and Gregory Pyatakoff, assistant
commissar for heavy industry.
In the case on trial the defendants
revealed the fact that not only
lfrere they plotting the assassination
of Stalin and four others, but
planned also to betray Trotzky and
place Zinoviev and Kamenev in supreme
power.

TURNING TO THE GENTILES

YOPNG PEOPLE AND AlMM.T TOPIC
?Christianity Facing Other Religions.
The progress of the first missionary
journey into gentile territory
had brought Paul and Barnabas
from Cyprus to Antioch of
Pisidia in Asia Minor, where Paul
preached with great power. Persecution
by leading Jews then led
them to go on to Iconium where
they tarried for a long time preaching
"the word of grace" in the
face of many difficulties. Next
they came to Lystra, in which city
we consider first the experiences
of
I. The Messengers (Acts 14:813,
19. 20).
They were immediately faced
with the case of a man crippled
from birth ? outwardly hopeless,
but having that inward faith which
Paul at once recognized. He
speaks, and God works in mighty
1 Power (vv. 8-10)
Faith releases the unlimited
power of an infinite God. It did
in Lystra almost nineteen hundred
years ago. It does today wherever
men believe God. The miracle of
healing which took place created
a sensation which resulted in great
2. Popularity (vv. 11-13).
The heathen people were looking
for an incarnation of their gods.
The supreme god in their mythology
was Jupiter, and his chief
attendant was Mercury. In Paul
and Barnabas they thought they
saw these two gods, and began to
give them acclaim and honor.
The flesh loves popularity. Few
temptations are so appealing and
so treacherous to the Christian
worker as a desire for popularity.
Paul and Barnabas might have
argued that such public esteem
would help them in their later proclamation
of the gospel. Or they
might have fallen into the specious
fallacy of those who say that the
approach to the heathen is by way
of an appreciation of their religions.
and by an adaptation of gospel
truth to their philosophies.
True servants of God like Paul
and Barnabas were not to be misled
into either of these pitfalls.
They vehemently turn away the
false popularity and earnestly urge
the people to "turn from these
vanities to the living God." Such
faithful and self-denying witness to
the gospel is greatly needed.
There followed at once a startling
change in the attitude of the
people. The fanatical Gentiles are
joined and stirred up by equally
fanatical Jews who had followed
the missionaries, and we soon find
them meeting
