RELIGIOl'S
EDl’CATION
Deep consideration is being
piv^ien throu}>:hout the country
to the inclusion in the public
school curricula of some form
of religious education or train
ing. This matter was touched
upon in an exceedingly thought
ful sermon by the Rev. F.
Craighill Brown of Southern
Pines several Sundays ago. a
sermon whioh because of thie
importance of the subject and
its able presentation by Mr.
Brown was printed in full in
The Pilot.
Theoretically, many sound ar
guments can be advanced fori
religious training proceeding
liand in hand wi^h "the three
Rs” in our educational system.
Practically, there are so many
elements involved in providing
what of necessity would have to
be a non-sectarian course of
training, that the subject calls
for most serious thinking on the
part of the public in general, of
parents in particular.

:ATH0I.IC DArOHTRRS MEET
IN THEIR NEW HALL.
Court Judge William Gaston No.
1239, Catholic Daughters of Ameri
ca, Southern Pines assembled in its
new hall No. 9. N. E. Broad street,
for the Fall monthly meeting on
Monday evening to resume and carry
nn the charitable work of the court
which was organized in St. Anthony's
Parish five years ago, under the
auspices of the Catholic Daughters
of America.
The new quarters just completed
by Harold Maloney, under the sup-
rrvision of Father Thomas Williams,
chaplain of the Southern Pines court,
prove to be an adequate addition and
pleasant place to congregate. Be-
.<iides the meetings held there, the
hall u-ill be in use for social gather
ings especially for the young folks.
In connection with the new hall
is a kitchen fully equipped to take
rare of luncheons, teas, etc. All the
socials will be under the direction of
the Catholic Daughters of America.
A cordial invitation is extended to
visitors.

THE NEW
AXIS AGREEMENT
The new Japanese-Italian-
German axis agreement did not
come as a complete surprise to
experts in this country. And, by
the same token, the President’s
embargo against shipments of
scrap to Nippon was hardly un
expected. The vast weight of
American public opinion is
known to favor a strongly pro-
Chine.se and anti-Japanase policy.
The embargo would probably
have been effected .some time
ago. but a few dis.senters in the
State department delayed mat
ters. It may be that the San
Francisco sneech of Wendell
Willkie. in which he pledged him-
seld to help China ard to oppose
Japan’s emnire building ambi
tions, was also a factor.
It was apparently a coinci
dence that these two events
should have taken place within
the -same week. In ore way. it is
a good thing they did—coming |
together, they served to clear
the air and put Japanese-Amer-
ican relations on a more reali.s-|
tic basis. There is no more pre-|
tense here of regarding Japan as
a friendly power. Instead we re
gard her as a potential enemy of
American interests. And now the
que.stion is. What are likely to
be the results of the scran em
bargo and the axis military
pact?
The embargo is without doubt
a hard blow to Japan’s militar
ists. We have provided her in
the past with some 90 per cent
of the metals she must have to
keep her vast military establish
ment going and growing- She
has no other possible source of
an adequate supply now—her to
talitarian friends, Germany and
Italy, haven’t enough for their
own needs, to say nothing of ex
ports. It is the American hope
that, totally lacking as she will
be from now on in essential
scrap, her military activity will
gradualy bog down. And there
pre other steps we can taj^e if
this one does not prove suffi
ciently effective. We could, for
instance, refuse to admit Japa
nese silk into this country, and
by that single act deprive Nip
pon of her biggest and moat
profitable foreign market.
The new axis agreement does
not mention the United States
by name. But it is obviously
aimed at us—as fascists spokes
men have exultantly observed.
The meaning of the agreement
is crystal clear. If we should join
England in war against Germany
and Italy. Japan is pledged to
immediately attack us, thus
making it necessary for us to
keep our fleet in the Pacific and
away from European waters.'
And, on the other side, if we
should go to war with Japan, tht>'
other axis partners are bound to!

present time we are helping Eng

We could hardly do more if we
were actually at war. But Jap-
ane.se newspapers, which are
government controlled and in
spired, have said that she does
not regard such American aid
to Britain as the de.stroyer
trade, as a belligerent act. In
other words, Japan, despite the
obvious anger of her military
men. certainly hasn’t shown an
oacrerness to fight. And if she
