Lotl in Luxury and Indifference Reviewing tragic conditions in China and quoting missionary reports on the migration of tuitv milium Ctrmrsr?into West Cliina,?Brc Charles Loenard, Sr.. in this country for his first vacation in seven years, offered something for us in this land of plenty to think about. "Par ents. startuig with several children, have ar rived in the West with only one or two left The others, unable to walk further, dropped behind crying piteously after their parents, 'Please, daddy, mommy, don't leave me, I won't cry anymore.' Surely, the road to the West has been one of suffering, sacrifice and death for thous ands of families " Similar reports have come out of other lands, but we have dismissed them as so much propa ganda to relieve our own minds and consciences. There can be little propaganda in the reports coming from -missionaries who have devoted their lives 111 the interest of suffering human ity in China And possibly all we hear about suffering, poverty and death in conquered coun tric s is not propaganda. Convinced that there is sintering and want facing millions of human beings, will we con tinue to wallow in our luxury and through our indifference dismiss the call of humanity from acioss the seas? While millions face starvation m the world, we continue our wild march in search of an ex panding pleasure We are throwing away more than enough to feed millions We are-being lull? ed into a sleep of indifference as we chase af ter worldly pleasures. And the sad part about a sad situation is that we are hardening our sym pathies for suffering humanity and accepting the cold-blooded business policy of acting only when assured a pecuniary protit. We are lost 111 our luxury and indifference, and unless we find ourselve the win Id e. going to move away from u: Miillilr Stfn A!? I'lli'il Prosperous America is stocked with every needed asset of civilization, vet lack we one thing. We have giant battleships, flying fortresses, ?arth-jarring bombs, steel-shattering shrapnel, and legion-challenging tanks but wlieie are our men? We need minute men, inspired with the spirit of political freedom and religious fei - vor, men who resent selective service but are a hundred per cent volunteers, ready to die for God, home, and country. Are we weaklings and cowards, afraid of the cannonade of the distant Hitlerites? Should we be cowed like a helpless animal when so many principles are involved and such essential issues are at stake? Shall we bow a knee to Baal or kiss the image of an Anti-Christ? Where are the Gideons, the Patrick Henrys, the John Browns; or the col onels like George Washington? Must we muster a woman's brigade, shall De borah be called from the molds of oblivion, or Jael from the confines of religion's heroines? Must a young girl like Joan of Arc see visions and hear voices before men will arise in the spir it of "76 or '17 and in the name of humanity, ci vilization, and Christianity face the foe though it-means to make the supreme sacrificeT Are our young men better than^Nathan Hale, who said, "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country"? In concluding, let us say that America has millions for defense, not alone millions of dollars or millions of pounds of aluminum, but millions of patriotic, liberty loving Christians who will defend the ideals and institutions of our beautiful America to the last man. Though the wicked flee when none pur sue, the righteous are and should be bold as lions ?Defender of the Faith. Leningrad Today it is an industrial center. It is a mod ern, well-kept city with sixty institutions of higher learning, one of the world's largest li braries, one hundred and seven scientific re search institutes, eighty-nine hospitals and thirty-seven museums The description above is not one of a city in the United States, England or Germany. It describes Leningrad in what many of us have been taught to call heathen Russia. With a pop ulation far less than that of North Carolina, Leningrad, now being defended by aged wo men and men and little children, has more hos pitals than North Carolina to care for its suf fering. Compare the number of Leningrad's in stitutions of highei learning with the number in North Carolina. Leningrad certainly is 110 equal to North Carolina in culture, education and so on today. But North Carolina's plight twenty years af ter the War Between the States was one of poverty and suffering. Isn't it possible that heathen Russia, despite all the condemnation that has been heaped upon her by us Christ ians. has done more fur its suffering. millions since the revolution than was done in scores of years in this country? Surely, we prefer the American way, but it is an undisputable fact that in Russia's con demned system there is something good that we in America could emulate to our great ad vantage Uncertainly Then aiul .Vow Not so long ago when Uncle Sam was spend ing a few millions to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, when federal action was tak en to break up monopolies and thaw out mon ey frozen by, high interest rates, quite a few of our citizens shouted about uncertainty. Thcy shouted to the people that business did not know which way to turn, that everything was so uncertain. Where is that uncertainty now? One hears very little about uncertainty in these days, but isn't it a fact that we were really enjoying gilt edge security back there as compared with the uncertainty surrounding us today? But, strange as it may seem, we are not talking much about uncertainty now; we are enjoying good business and having a good time. If those who talked about uncertainty back yonder would come forth now and help wai n lhe masses of the im pending dangers the weeping and wailing that is certain to follow could possibly be lessened. The uncertainty of a few years ago is now recognized by many as a certainty. Vl> llflfl Charlulltt Now*. ? By tin- tune tins appears in print, the former King of England and his w(fe will have de parted from Washington (barring some un foreseen round of coektail parties) and will be on their way to Canada To which we say, quite frankly, good riddance We have never entertained a very high opin ion of Edward, who, in time of great world crisis, preferred to solve his own personal prob lem with no particular regard for the million* of people who looked to him as the symbol of Empire. He let his people down. There is. however, little merit in conducting a post mortem of the affair. The harm that it did?the shaking of the Empire at a time when otherwise it was none too secure?is a matter of record, not of immediate concern. What matters now is that we get this pair of royal champagne-bibbers, together with their retinue of twelve servants, out of the country and keep them out. As Raymond Clapper pointed' out 011 this page yesterday, the glitter surrounding the Duke and Duchess is not representative of the British people in this somber last week of Sep tember, 1941. The couple puts on a lavish show, a monstrous misrepresentation of the British people. Having made a failure as King, Edward, to gether with the cause-of-it-all, makes an equals? ly poor ambassador of good will. The newsreel cameramen -may?take it tip from here.

Comparison in this | fie^d is especially pertinent, for in Germany necessity has driven gov ernment-subsidized research and production of synthetic rubber at high speed for many years. It was only last year that the first Ameri can-made synthetic rubber tires reached the open market. Yet un der a $2,750,000 contract announced last week by the Defense Plant Cor poration, a single American com pany will soon have a synthetic rub ber capacity almost equal to Ger many's at the start of the war. It is the Hycar Chemical Company, which was organized 13 months ago to make synthetic rubber from the pe troleum' gasr butadiene.
