R"N GENERAL HUGH S. JOHNSON M Jaur: Wran W wNVtartet Washington, D. C. 'WAR' PRICES One of the principal causes of war time shortages and sky-rocketing prices is the fear of them. The man ager of any company making fin ished goods out of raw materials is responsible for continuous supply. If he sees ahead what seems to be a period of sfcant material and rising prices, he not only "covers" by buy ing for his usual output for six months or maybe a year, but he goes as far beyond that as his re sources will permit. This is "good business" from ev ery angle. It is a good speculative risk from the angle of probable ris ing prices. It is good insurance against possible future shut-downs or delays due to inability to get ma terials later. Finally, there is a Temptation even to borrow money to increase stock piles and inventories to abnormal size. A period of price inflation is a good time to owe money and to own things. The combination of all these reu sons is almost irresistible. Apply them to all the thousands of busi ness concerns, big and little, and you have a tremendous national force working everywhere to create the very condition of fear which has caused it. Part of these reasons work in the same direction for all individuals and for the great war purchasing government departments. All peo ple like to buy while they "can get the stuff and before the price rises." An officer in charge of an arsenal or a navy yard turning out munitions has a really dreadful re sponsibility for producing on or ahead of time and in quantity. He, too, fears the delays that future shortages may cause and to the ex tent of his powers, will overstate his requirements and build up his inven tories. Of course, this is a form of "hoarding"—which is a war time word of evil omen. It is truly evil because the certain result of these practices is soaring prices, to the detriment of the whole nation and sometimes with a result of complete economic collapse and disaster. This column has continuously ar gued against centralization of fed eral power, but in a war economy some centralization is necessary in the public interest. In the haste to get the defense program through the legislature, not enough attention has been given to this phase. We need simpler and more direct emergency atatuatory authority to control price, priority and increasing inventories. This is a subject that should have the immediate attention of congress —even before tax legislation. We could lose more through price in flation in a year than increased taxes could recover in 10 years. • • • MILITARY EXPERTS This has certainly been a tough war for the military "experts"— both the columnist kibitzer or radio amateur variety and the real pro fessionals. The amateurs have been bad enough, but the biggest boners of all have been pulled by those who from training, education and profession should really have been expert. The English and French bet their l ** tional existence on the experting 1 their soldiers and sailors that ' aey could hold Hitler on the Magi "jjjot line and outmaneuver him north 'of that. They pushed Poland into. ' the storm and then tossed her to the wolves and left all the small na tions of Europe (that had been ad vised by their own military experts to rely on allied strength) to be con quered in a few weeks. The English experts bet that they could outfox Hitler on the Norwe gian coast. They were wrong about that, too. Then Hitler's military high priests told him he could clean up the British Isles in 1040, but he Is still at the channel ports. Mussolini's mighty military men told him that Greece and North Af rica were pushovers, and see what happened to him. Japan expected a tea party in China. She got it, but it waa spiked with arsenic. Russia was advised by her professionals that she could swallow Finland at a gulp. That didn't happen and since Joe Stalin is more direct in his methods, he liquidated his experts and got some new ones. I don't know if they are any better. The sciences of both tactics and armament have shifted too fast for the experts. There are too many imponderables in modern war. The basic principles of war never change, but military genius consists In applying them to new conditions and no such genius has yet appeared —no, not even Mr. Hitler's bright young men, notwithstanding their unparalleled conquests. For example Mr. Winston Churchill now tells us that this is just a war of machines—ships and land mechanical monsters—and that we shall never have to mobilize great masses of men to go to Europe. I don't know whether war is no longer • matter of mass man power or not —and neither does Mr. Churchill. I only know it always has been. He Is clicking pretty well on military matters Just now, but it's doubtful whether any leader ever made so many military mistakes in the course of one lifetime and survived them as a public character. Household Neius THIS PUDDING FAIRLY SHOUTS 'TRY ME!' (See Recipes Below) ADD ONE CUP OF IMAGINATION Once upon a ,me a friend told me that to her the addition of "one cup of imagina- / , - —. tion" was the most important I ingredient that could be used in \ any recipe. So } Ty'i ■/{ whole heartedly / Jftn Pt) do I agree with / 'WW W / her that today I want to give you a number of recipes to which that ingredient, imagination, has been added. In fact, so successfully has this been done that each of these recipes is different, yet each is de licious each fairly shouts "Try me!" These recipes, moreover, have been chosen as luncheon favorites because, of all of the meals of the day, the family luncheon some way seems to be most neglected. Take the baked apricot and tapi oca pudding for example; have you ever before thought of serving a cof fee 6auce with such a pudding? Yet the blend of flavors which results from combining this particular pud ding with this particular sauce is really delicious—long to be remem bered. Sausage Stand-Up.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I CHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute ot Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 9 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Cornell of Religious Education; used by permission. CHRIST REJECTED LRSSON TEXT—Luke 20:9-20. GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed are ye. when men shall revile you. and persecute you. and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.—Matthew S: 11. Rejection of Christ by Israel as a nation is pictured in our lesson. We know how the judgment of God has come upon that nation because of its failure to receive Him and be lieve on Him. God had to take the vineyard from them and give it to others (v. 16). Men today reject Christ, and we find that the sin which causes them to do so and the judgment which fol lows are essentially the same as in the case of Israel. There is a reason for Christ rejection, and there is a certain time of answering to God for that sin. I. Why Men Reject Christ (vv. 9-15). Self-will, the very heart of all sin, underlies every refusal to let Christ have His rightful control over our lives. There are two forces which may dominate and direct my life— God's will or self-will. Just as love of God is the essence of all virtue (Matt. 22:37-38), so love of self is the essence of all sin. The leaders of Israel, both politi cal and religious, had one great fear which dominated all of their think ing concerning Jesus; namely, that they would lose all their authority if He were recognized by the people for what the leaders must have known Him to be—the Son of God, and their rightful King. God had entrusted to them as underservants the care of His vineyard, and in their wicked greed they had deter mined to have it all for themselves, even though it meant destroying the Son and rightful Heir. We need only a moment's reflec tion to realize that this is exactly what occurs every time someone now rejects Christ. It is because in self-will that person decides that the one who has a right to his life is not to have it. There are many sins, but this is the root sin of them all. 11. What Happens When Men Re ject Christ (w. 16-18). Judgment. It came to Israel, as all history even to this dark day so strikingly testifies. Just so, it will come to every one who rejects Christ. It is not a slight matter of com parative unimportance whether a man accepts or rejects Christ. He likes to make it appear so, saying that it is just something about the local church that he does not like, or the preacher does not exactly suit him; or perchance he hides behind the time-worn excuse that there are hypocrites in the church, when in doing so he proves that he is him self the worst of hypocrites. All of these excuses do not hide the fact that in self-will he is re jecting God's will for his life in Christ. At the end of that road he will have to meet the judgment of God upon sin. God reads the heart, knows the falsity of every excuse and the real rebellion against Christ, which may be hidden from fellow men by smooth words and polite manners. Tear off that mask, unbelieving friend who may read these words. Face the truth that you are refus ing Christ's authority because you ere self-willed, and look squarely et the fact that "it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this Com eth the judgment" (Heb. 9:27. R. V.) 111. How Men Reject Christ (vv. 19, 20). Deceit and treachery of the vilest kind marked the rejection of Christ by Israel's leaders. They feared the people, and lacking the authority to condemn Him themselves they had to obtain some evidence under which the Roman law would have to sentence Him. It is significant that they could not find one bit of real evidence against Him and had to proceed by trickery and treachery. Christ rejection in our day is just as deceitful and treacherous, al though it does not often appear so outwardly. As a matter of fact, the leaders of Israel were outwardly po lite and careful. They sent spies who could "feign themselves to ba Just men." They "feared the peo ple" and did not dare to speak open ly against Him. Men cover up their motives today. Some would wish to excuse them selves on the ground of lack of knowledge, but in our land at least that is largely their own choice. Oth ers might say they have only been careless, but on what ground can one justify neglect of a life and death matterT Some blame the sins of pro fessing Christians, but this is an in dividual matter—you must answer for your own soul. No matter which way man may turn in seeking for an excise for his rejection of Christ, if he is honest he will have to admit that he has dealt deceitfully with God. When he does that, he is ready in repentance and faith to take Christ as hi* Saviour and Lord.
