Labor factions, engaged in an internal row, demanded clarification of laws affecting collective bargaining. r>?lonorpr-st.andiner Desiuco vino, mv ?v"ov- --? ? . problems of relief, reorganization of government departments, regional J planning, balancing of the budget, and a threatening foreign situation all called for timely, intelligent action. u The four-point legislative program presented by the White House .vhich had been prepared during the relatively serene summer months failed to click with Congressional independents who were in no mood to tune up the ink-pads for another rubber-stamp session. But the working leadership both in the House and Senate was faced with fie many-horned dilemma of having to cling to the President's 'Must'' schedule, throttle opposition moves and if necessary stall for time until dependable majorizes could be swung solidly behind i more up-to-date governmental policy to combat the political omiious "Roosevelt Recession." Plans To Boost Business Immediate plans to help business ire still largely in the conference itage. Passage of the Housing Bill py the House was the first concrete >tep to carry out the President's program to stimulate a building poom- Other moves "in the works" vill be designed to help the railoads with higher rates, easy credit, ind recommended consolidations. Public utilities may be given a preathing spell, and the present tax structure will be modified to relieve 'middle-sized" businesses of their present oppressive burdens. No doubt affected by the verbal parrage from assembled business nen at the National Association of Vlanfacturers convention, the House refused to add another hamstring ;o business when it voted to send ;he Black-Connery Wages and Hours Bill back to the Labor Comnittee. House spokesmen doubted whether it would ever be revived. The Bill, backed by CIO and opposed by the powerful AFL lobby, killed largely through a blockade action led toy southern congress-1 men who affected a coalition among opposing Democrats and Republicans to defeat the pet Administration measure. Farm Bill Has Many Hurdles The Farm Bill experienced a better fate. The House passed its own version of the Bill and awaited similar action by the Senate which came nine days later. Differences between the two measures are being ironed out preparatory to final passage and presentation for White House approval sometime in early 1938 unless the House refuses to confirm Senate changes or if friends of the Wages and Hours Bill carry out their threat to scuttle Farm Relief after their Bill, for which they traded votes, was not MD SONNY 2 1 passed. A veto is also possible be- I cause of the McNary-Boileau Amendment, which cannot be changed in conference, prohibiting use of retired acreage by farmers for pasturage or for the production of milk, meat or poultry. Foreign Affairs in Spotlight Lack of action last week in the domestic scene was more than counterbalanced by developments in our foreign affairs. When first reports of the Panay bombing reached here, Japanese Ambassador Hiroshi Saito rushed to the office of Secretary Hull to present profound regrets, offer indemnities and guarantees against repetition of such "incidents." But this time the White House had evidently lost patience with the | Nipponese custom of presenting mimegraphed apologies after each I bombing and shooting of neutral Americans, and a note signed "P. D. R." instructed Hull to request that the Japanese Foreign Office talk the matter over with Emperior Hirohito and get some definite satisfaction. "Son of Heaven" Gets Note Old-school diplomats were shocked at the unprecedented action. The Japanese Emperor, "Son of Heaven" and 129th lineal descendant of the Sun Goddess who, according to legend, made the world nearly 2600 years ago, is aloof from politics, is consulted only at rare intervals on the most urgent questions through the medium of difficult "court language" which precludes extended discussion. The firm American stand brought little results, The umperior was reportea to have been duly informed but no reply was forthcoming from the Nipponese Holy-of-Holies. An empasse was struck in the diplomatic situation when Japanese military officials refused to admit the charges of witnesses and survivors of the Panay sinking that land forces had raked the decks of the ship and machine-gunned sailors and civilians struggling in the water. Another point was made when it was definitely proved that the U. S. gunboat was flying the Stars and Stripes when the attack took place. Field-Day for Headline Scribes Throughout the week, the Press has been having a field day of "warscare" headlines, and here, in Washington, two Congressional moves could be directly traced to the sudden interest in international affairs. One action was to force the Ludlow Amendment before the House early in the January regular session. This Amendment would take away from Congress its constitutional right to declare war except after a national referendum affirming such action unless there was "an invasion of the United States or its territorial possessions and an attack upon its citizens residing therein." More important is the growing opinion that the Neutrality Act, as presently constituted, Is a failure. Representative Maas, Minnesota, has ' already proposed a resolution to repeal the act outright. Senator Lodge has written a series of amendments to the present law which would emasculate it until it had practically no effect at all. Charles E.

Some will "celebrate" the New Year with wild carousal, others will see the old year out and the new year in quietly at home. A number will work, for much of the world's activity must continue without interruption even on New Year's Day. Not a few will sleep, preferring to attach no special significance to the mere passing of o voor The wise will celebrate the New Year during each of the 365 days by giving the serious business of living their most intelligent thought ?and action. They will look upon the 8,760 brand-new hours of 1938 as welcome opportunities for improving the mental, moral and material well-being of themselves and those around them. As 1937 passes, few will mourn. Starting as a robut youngster only 525,600 minutes ago, this weary year drags itself over the threshold, a doddering, sick old man. 1938 j brings fresh hope. It has our best wishes, but it will need more than mere wishing to restore the world to well-being. It will need wisdom and judgment to rectify many grave mistakes committed before its time. That requires more than luck and "good intentions."

Another 25 million Japanese Shintoists are looking forward to welcoming the 2598th year of their calendar which will mark the 13th year of the present period of Showa (Radiant Peace).

The Jewish reckoning of nearly 6,000 years may seem like a long period of time but this is not the oldest calendar in the world by any means. According to modern records, our 1938 will mark the years 7446-7447 of the Byzantine Era, which is reckoned from the founding of the city of Byzantium, now Istanbul, 5510 B.
