I THE NEWS-RECORD. MARSHALL. N. C THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 28. 1935 BRISBANE THIS WEEK Death From the Air Barring the Inventor The Republican Odds To Starve Italy Warfare In Ethiopia consists largely In surprising the enemy in some nar row gorge or valley. Ethiopians have thus surprised Ital lans on a small scale. Now the Ital ians have shown that the thing can be done from the air by killing 2,000 Ethiopian warriors, of whom 20,000 were massed In the Mel Mezold valley, south of Makale. Ethiopians with stood, with line courage, the attack with machine guns. S m in Arthur Brlabanc Incendiary and explosive bombs. England really has free speech. On your soap box In Hyde Park you may say what you please. If you do not advocate crime. But England does not like free speech from another country, through the ether. The Hrltlsh Rroadcasting company will not let Marconi talk from Rome to Englishmen over the radio. Me might convince them that It is preposterous to try to starve out Italy for doing in Ethiopia what Eng land has done In many places. The ruling seems hard on Marconi, consid ering that he Invented radio. With out him there would he no "British Broadcasting company." By EdwaFdW. Pickard WnuM Niwtpapm Vnlcm Those that make betting a business are often sound in their political judg ments. They are at least cold, calcu lating; sentiment does not cloud their vision. On the Republican Presidential nom ination the betting now stands: Senator William E. Borah, 8 to 1. Governor Landon of Kansas, 10 to 1. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, 15 to 1. Col. Frank Knox of Illinois. 15 to 1. Governor Hoffman of New Jersey. Ogden I.. Mills, Senator David A. Reed, all 20 to 1. Professional bettors agree that Gov ernor I.andon Is gaining, and will probably lead the procession at 6 to 1 In a few days. Band wagon climbers are more nnd more polite to Governor London.

The film Is a finer art than the novel, stage or the opera." Mr. Wells' open mind proves his youth. The moving picture Is greater in its possibilities than hook, stage or opera, oecause It contains all three, plus the marvelous power of photog raphy. Britain's ambassador Is conferring with our State department concerning japans pian to seize Chinese provinces. containing 95,000.000 Chinese. 35.000. 000 more than the total population of Japan. If the Japanese could control, arm and use 100,000,000 Chinese In the air and on the ground, that would be inter esting. But It would not be our busi ness, and It Is to be hoped that the British will not persuade our State department that this country ought to attend to It.

Fifty-two nations are united In the imposition of sanctions against Italy, which became an outlaw na tlon on November 18 by decree of .t h e League of Nations. Four league nations, all unimportant, re fused to participate. They are Austria, Hungary, Albania and Paraguay. Indirect snnnort Is crfven the Gen. Badoglio , e a g u e by two non. member nations, the Dnlted States and Germany. Nearly all the world's chief ports are closed to Italian goods, and exports to Italy of arms, war ma terials and a long list of key products has stopped. Loans and credits for the Italian government, public bodies, corporations and Individuals are for bidden. Should this momentous action suc ceed. It would seem that the end of Benito Mussolini and the Fascist re gime In Italy Is in sight. Should It fall, the League of Nations falls, the British communications In the Mediter ranean would he threatened, and the peace of the world would be menaced. Standing steadfast against the sanc tions, Premier Mussolini proclaimed the day on which they were estab lished "a day of Ignominy and In iquity," as had been declared by the Fascist grand council. The day was made a holiday, flags flew from all buildings and there were numerous an gry demonstrations against the mem ber nations of the league. The fron tiers of Italy and Its ports were closed to goods of those nations except for certain necessities. Restrictions of food, fuel and light were put In force. As for the Ethiopian war Itself, MuSr 8olinl announced an Important change In commanders. Gen. Emillo de Bono was recalled with warm praise for hav ing achieved his mission "under ex tremely difficult circumstances" and was to he elevated to the rank of mar shal. Gen. Pietro Badoglio, chief of staff, was appointed to succeed De Bono as commander in chief of the In vading armies. The Italian forces In northern Ethi opia were preparing for a new for ward movement, their objective being Amba Alajl, 40 miles south of Makale. It was learned that Emperor Halle Se lassie had sent to his men In that re gion an order not to retreat further, so there were prospects of a real bat tle. Ten thousand well trained and well armed warriors from the rich province of Walega arrived at Addis Ababa to light the Italians. tlong on wheat (from 80 to 12 cents a bushel) ; off-season fresh vegetables (50 per cent) ; vegetables imported in marketing season (35 per cent) ; most classes of farm machinery (50 per cent) ; Industrial machinery (35 to 25 per cent) ; mining and textile machin ery; radios (30 to 25 per cent); elec tric refrigerators; tlnplate manufac tures; dressed lumber' building mate rials; motor vehicles; cotton fabrics, furs, chemicals, silk fabrics, cotton manufactures, electrical apparatus.

Bar Committer Uphold Liberty League Lawyer XTO CANON of ethics was violated A by the lawyers' committee of the American Liberty league when It of. fered to defend gratis the constitu tional rights of any cltlien unable to pay fees for such defense. Moreover, the lawyers' committee Is Justified In preparing and disseminating "opinions upon legislation with particular refer ence to the constitutionality of such legislation. Such is the opinion of the American Bar association's committee on profes sional ethics and grievances, given In response to a complaint made by O. N. Davie of Atlanta. Ga. The bar committee emphasized that it ex pressed "no opinion as to the sound ness of the conclusions reached by the national lawyers' committee," and added : "This group has organized and ap pears on the one side; a similar group may well organize and function on the other side. Such an eventuality Is more to be desired than feared." United States Will Not Interfere in Mexico REQUESTS marie by the Knights of Columbus that the United States government make an Investigation of alleged religious persecution In Mex ico have been denied by President Roosevelt In a rather sharply worded letter to Supreme Knight Martin H. Carmody. Mr. Roosevelt said : "I decline to permit this government to undertake a policy of Interference In the domestic concerns of foreign governments and thereby Jeopardize the maintenance of peaceful condl tlons". Baldwin's Government Wins Elections PRIME MINISTER STANLEY BALD WIN and his Conservative gov ernment party won an Impressive vic tory in the British parliamentary elec tions, although the La borltes succeeded In de creasing the Conserva tive majority In the house by about 00 seats.

In the presence of a great throng of dis tinguished persons In the magnificent legis lature building at Manila, Manuel Que zon, veteran advocate of Independence, was inaugurated as the first president of the commonwealth. Representing the Unit ed States were Vice President Garner, Speaker Byrns and a large party of senators and representatives with their wives. Many foreign governments sent unofficial observers, and the leading statesmen of the Islands were present. After Quezon had taken the oath of office, Sergio Osmena, vice president, and the members of the new unicam eral legislature were sworn In. President Roosevelt was personally represented by Secretary of War Dern, who made a pleasant speech and read the proclamation, simultaneously Is sued In Washington, terminating the old government of the Islands and es tablishing the commonwealth govern ment which Is to lead to complete In dependence of the archipelago in 10 years.

President Roosevelt stressed that while duties were lowered on Cana dian cattle, cream, seed potatoes and certain kind of lumber, quotas placed on these articles would prevent seri ous Interference with the American market An analysis of the pact shows that the Dnlted States grants concessions to Canada on 79 major commodities, In cluding: Tariff slash on four-year-old whisky from $1 to 50 cents per fifth of a gallon.

The newly elected members of par liament meet at Westminster on No vember 26 to take their oath of alle giance to the crown. This procedure will occupy three days after which com mons will adjourn until December 3 when King George will open the new parliament Clash in North China Is Imminent WITH everything prepared for the proclamation of autonomy of North China, there was almost the cer tainty of serious fighting In that re gion between the troops of the Chinese National government aad the forces of autonomy movement leaders. It was reported in Tokyo that Gen. Chiang Kai-shek, virtual dictator of the Na tlonal government, had mobilized 300, 000 soldiers In the northern provinces, chiefly along the Lunghal railroad in Shantung. The Japanese officials would not say what action Japan might take If Chiang Kai-shek .should move his forces farther northward, but they admitted there probably would be a serious battle. Shanghai heard that several Jap anese troop ships had reached Takn, 27 miles southeast of Tientsin, to block the approaches to that city. Jap anese forces already were massed at Sbaohalkwan, main gateway to north ern Chlaa at the east end ef the great wall. Business Is Encouraged by Secretary Roper IV SECRETARY ROPER In address ing the Associated flrocery Manu facturers of America in New York was speaking with authoritative knowledge of the Intentions of the administration business may feel considerably reas sured. He said "the breathing spell which we are now enjoying is to be the end of governmental regimentation. He declared business was the scape goat of the depression and he upheld the prdfit system Of Mr. Roosevelt's announcement of a "breathing spell the secretary said: "This declaration of the President Is clear-cut and concrete. It means specifically that the basic program of reform has been completed. It means that business no longer needs to feel any uncertainty as to what may come In the future with respect to govern mental measures." According to a Washington dispatch In the New York Times, Informal or ders have been Issued by President Roosevelt to administrative officials to cut federal expenditures under the 1937 budget to $500,000,000 less than the newly estimated total for 1936. As a result, the dispatch says, the lives of many federal bureaus and agencies were reported to be banging in the balance. The economy wave Is heightened by signs of better business, the Timer says.

An Industry-labor conference has been arranged for Decem ber 9 in Washington, but it Is evident that some very consider able industries will not be represented. First, the Ford Motor com pany refused curtly to send a representative; then the Automobile Manufacturers' associ ation objected to the affair, announcing Us opposition to any re vival ef the NBA, though most of Its members signed the old NBA code; aad next came a sharp letter from the National Hardwood Lumber associa tion, one of the country' oldest and largest trade associations, flatly refus ing to attend the conference. The let ter, written by J. W MeClnr of Chi cago, secretary of the association' board of .directors, labeled any attempt to impose a new NBA on industry as -impractical, unworkable, unenforce able, a menace to respect for all laws and, therefore opposed to publle In terest . . . Nevertheless, the conference win he held, end representatives of labor are expected to advocate a plan-for -li censing industr a proposal that an government contractor comply with nd provisions and the 90-hour week. I. Who Ezra Was (7:1-10). 1 A priest (vv. 1-6). He was from the line which was to stand between God and the people. The lender of the first company was Zerubhabel, a sort of military governor. The great need now was for a religious leader, for the people had gone far from God, as we see from the noble reformation which Ezra effected. 2. A ready scribe (v. 6). He wai a teacher of the law of God. 3. His high ambition (vv. 7-10). a. He set his heart to seek the law of the Lord (v. 10). He set out defi nitely with the purpose to know God's Word. No one who purposes In his heart to seek the law of the Lord can falL b. He set his heart to obey the Lord (v. 10). He was not only con cerned with knowing God's Word but obeying It. God's Word cannot he known In Its fullness by the Intel lect; it must be experienced. An es sential qualification for a teacher of the Bible, a preacher, or Sunday school worker, is obedience to God's Word. c. He set his heart to teach In Israel God's statutes and Judgments (v. 10). He not only had a love for God's Word but a desire to Implant U In the hearts of others. II. Ezra'a Commission (7:11-20). Ezra went' forth backed by the de cree from King Artaxerxes. The king gave him a copy of the decree which authorized him to lead a company back to Jerusalem. This decree em powered mm to 1. Collect funds (vv. 15, 16); 2. Levy tribute (vv. 21, 22); 8. Appoint magistrates and judges (v. 25) ; 4. Execute penalties (v. 26). So great was the king's confidence in Ezra that he delegated all these powers to him. For this great favor Ezra lifted his heart to God in thanks giving (vv. 27, 28). He was mainly concerned with the fact that he was to beautify the Lord's house and ac knowledged that God had put his pur pose Into the king's heart III. The Company Which Returned With Ezra (Ezra 8:1 20). This company was comparatively small, only 1.754 males, but Including the women, children and servants there were perhaps 6,000 or 7,000 people. Before proceeding on the Journey Ezr j was careful to find out as to whether any of the Levites. the ministers of God, were with them (v. 15). He knew that the success of their enter prise depended upon the spiritual con dition of the people. ' Temporal bless ings and prosperity of the individual and the nation depend upon the peo ple's attitude toward God. IV. Ezra'a Prayer and Fasting (8:21-23). The first thing that he did was to seek God's guidance. The reason Ezra sought the Lord's help was that as far as possible he desired his mission to be free from human dependence. He 1 did not minimize the dangers attend Ing his journey, but since he had as sured the king that the hand of the Lord would be upon all for good who sought him, he was ashamed to ask the king for a military escort to pro tect them from the marauding Arabs. His desire was to prove the reality of God's help, as God's honor among the heathen was at stake. V. Tha Successful Journey (8 :24-32). God heard their prayer. The treas ure entrusted to them was great Per haps the entire value jft money and sacred utensil was nearly Ave million dollars. For a small caravan to go through a country Infested by these robber banda carrying such an amount of money wa most perilous, but Ezra knew that God was able and would protect them. Observe . 1, The care and honesty (w. 24-30) The money was! weighed onto them at the start ahd wa to be weighed when turned over to the authorities at Jeru salem. The Incentive to honest and strict accounting of the trust was that they area holy men tod Were entrust ed with that which belonged to God. 2. Their safe arrival ( vv. 81, 82). Some our and ooe-half month wore required to make . the journey, God brought them safely to their destina tion, thus proving that he la faithful to those who put their trust la him. More Humble About Our Opinion in New Kinship At the moment, many people are deploring "a lack of leadership" In religion, says Lloyd 0. Douglas la Cosmopolitan. ' "In my opinion, the confessed bewilderment of the .churches Is a sign of health and progress. The recent use of the soft pedal haS made the prophet of more value to the people. They sense an Intellectual kinship with the honest man who admits he Is a bit at a loss to know exactly where we are. "Editors who were used to saying the last word necessary for the ade quate Instruction of their constitu ents are writing in phrases tempered by a new shyness. Statesmen, teach ers, parents, even half-grown chil dren are no longer laying down their beliefs with a bang. We are all be coming bumble about our opinions. This Is the type of kinship we have needed more seriously than any oth er. It I somewhere along this road that we may find our peace." In Which Politician and Economist Are Defined An economist Is a man who knows a great deal about a very little, and who goes on knowing more nnd more about less and less until he finally knows everything about practically nothing. A politician Is a man who knows a very little about a great deal and who goes on knowing less and less about more and more, until finally ha knows practically nothing about ev erything. Tit Bits. Civil Concord The cottage, no less than the pal ace, enjoys the blessings of civil con cord and social harmony. Human life, in every sphere, becomes easier and happier and more frultrul, as men recognize the ties which bind them to each other, and learn to dwell together In mutual afTectlori and helpfulness.
