BRISBANE THIS WEEK Prging Japan Black Cold Best for War The Mighty Airplane Two Kinds of Treasure When the Japanese plan to absorb a section of northern China with popu lation of 95.000,000 seemed to have been abandoned, chaos broke loose In northern China. Industrious bandits, without fear of Japan's efficiency, began looting stores and Chinese mer chants begged Ja pan to restore or der. Eleven Japan ese divisions quar tered outside the Great Wall are ready to move In, and Japan will hardly have the heart to stay out un der such circumstances. Later Japan will not have the heart to stay out of the Philippines. Japanese confidence In the sun goddess seems justified. The drift Is Japan's way, with west erners busy planning to kill each other. ::: i 1,1-1, By Pickard wwtrfnNi UllM Arthar Brisbane There are, California tells you, sev eral kinds of gold : yellow gold that took crowds to California in 1849; an other yellow gold that grows on orange, lemon and grapefruit trees; the white gold water power rolling from the mountains, to produce black gold, pow er and fertility, and the oil In the ground. Mussolini's determination to keep oil flowing into Italy, even at risk of Eu ropean war, shows that oil Is more Important in war now than yellow gold. It moves great tanks, keeps the planes In the air; it means motion, and successful motion means victory. League Postpones the Oil Embargo XTOVEMBEK 29 had been set as the 1 v date for a meeting of the League of Nations sanctions committee to con- granted they will strive to bring about an agreement for the limiting of future naval construction. Federal Reserve Bulletin slder the lmposlton of an oil embargo Notes Business Recovery GOVERNORS of the federal re- L&2 Mighty Is the airplane In northern Brazil, where the "elbow" sticks out Into the Atlantic. Soldiers said by the Associated Press to be guided by Com munists decided to run the govern ment and make It better. They locked up their officers and were 'just starting the new "better" govefnment when offi cial airplanes came along with bombs. "Bang" went one or two bombs, aerial machine guns said "rat-tat-tat" a few times. The revolutionary soldiers said, "That will do," and scattered In the Interior. It Is hard to "rise and throw off your chains" while capitalism Is dropping bombs. I .... . K,,f Pm. 5 mier Laval ana Brit' isn Amoassaaor ueorge Russell Clerk, after a conference In Paris, recommended that the session be Indefinitely postponed, and this ac tion was taken. The statesmen feared early oil sanctions would se riously aggravate the political situation, and Premier Laval Lava, tho,lght If ne were given more time he might bring about the conciliation of the Italo-Ethl- oplan quarrel. There were good reasons for the un easiness of the French and British gov. ernments. Benito Mussolini had blunt ly told the world that the Imposition of an oil embargo would mean war In Europe, the warning being given through his ambassador to France Vlttorlo Cerrutl. Furthermore, there was doubt In London and Paris con cerning the nbilty of the United States government to prevent the shipment of oil to Italian ports. In Washington It was reported that Ambassador Au gusto Rosso had discussed the matter with Secretary of State Hull, suggest ing that attempts to choke off exports of oil, copper, cotton and other com merclal articles did not constitute "orthodox" neutrality. Emperor Halle Selassie made two airplane flights to the fighting fronts In Ethiopia and cheered up his forces so that their resistance to the Invasion was measurably stiffened, especially In the South. The government at Ad dis Ababa announced that Its armies had driven the Italian troops back from Gorahal, recapturing the town of Gabredarre. In the North the advance of the Italinas beyond Makale was very slight because of attacks on the serve banks. In the bulletin of the reserve board, have sounded a most cheerful note concerning business con ditions. Summing up facts gathered all over the country, they concluded that the United States was undergoing the most substantial economic recov ery since the depression began, with every sign pointing to Its continuance Business activity has been sustained for ten months near the high level It reached the first of the year, the bul letin said, "in contrast to the course of business In the three preceding yeacs when advances were not sus tained but were quickly followed by declines." Here are some of the elements the bulletin says are contributing to this most desirable state of affairs: Industrial activity during the first ten months of this year has been at a higher level than In any of the four preceding years, with the chief accel eration in industries producing durable goods. Residential building has shown, a "marked and sustained" Increase1- for the first time since the decline, which In this Industry began in 1928. The greater Industrial activity has been accompanied by Increased In comes to both Industrial workers and farmers, and greater distribution of commodities to consumers. Continued ease in the money market and accumulation of a vast amount of Idle money have been reflected In a revival of the capital market, resulting In security flotations In larger volume than at any time since 1930. Profits of large corporations have Increased, accompanied by a "sus tained" advance In security prices, representing primarily the effect of cash buying by Investors. Greece Joyfully Greets Its Restored King ' TINO GEORGE II on his return h, 1V- Athens was welcomed by the wild ly enthusiastic Greeks who insisted on carrying the restored monarch on their shoulders, despite the charges of the cavairy escort While big guns were nrtng salutes, George, dressed In an admiral's uniform and wearing a mon ocle, landed at Phaleros, the port of Atnens, from the cruiser Helle. and drove to the capital In an automobile with the crown prince. There were rormai ceremonies under an arch, and then a procession to the cathedral for a te deum mass.

The great Jonker diamond, biggest uncut stone on earth. Is to be cut into smaller pieces, since no one rich enough to buy It now would wear so big a diamond. It might have been sold to a Rus sian czar, Turkish sultan or Ethiopian emperor for use in a crown, "to In crease majesty." But cxars and sul tans have vanished, Ethiopia's ruler is short of cash. The big diamond will be cut Into small pieces and sell for about $1,500, 000. The largest "piece" will weigh 100 carats, the rest from 10 to 50 carats. Interesting- opportunity for deserving Hollywood stars. John S. Clemlengo, sixteen, sen tenced to die next January In the elec tric chair, helped George EL Hilde- brand, twenty-six, to rob and murder an old poultry farmer. Sixteen seems rather young for an electric chair candidate, but the Judge and Jury felt that by disposing of the young murderer now they would avoid robberies and murders In the future. Recent history of youthful criminals makes that probable. "Foreign observers" In Ethiopia be lieve that Ethiopia is fighting a lost cause ; also that, as the number of wounded Increases and the case looks more and .more hopeless, there might be a general massacre of whites,' If this should happen the "TO to 1" gen tlemen of the League of Nations would have themselves to blame. The "sanctions" and boycott will not prevent Italy defeating Ethiopia, but they do make the Ethiopian ruler over confident, persuading him to sacrifice lives unnecessarily.

In the northern part of the country. Latest advices said the rebels had control of the city of Natal and that a hot fight was on for possession of Pernambuco. The uprising was laid to the Communists and was be lieved to be led by Luis Carlos Prestes, Communist leader for all of South America. It was said he planned to spread the movement all over Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile. Under command of Gen. Manuel Rabelo, the federal troops, army and navy airplanes and two cruisers were hurriedly sent northward to combat the rebellion. The revolt started when non-commissioned officers of the Twenty-first battalion, at Natal, began a march on the palace of the provincial govern ments, trying to seize Gov. Rafael Fernandez, who took refuge In the po lice barracks. The rebels then en gaged In a battle with loyal regulars. American Delegation for Naval Conference TLEVEN American diplomats and naval officers, selected by Secre tary of State Hull, have sailed to rep resent this country in the coming naval conierence in London. At their head Is Nor. man H.

It Is takes for DAN-AMERICAN Airways opened a new chapter In the story of avi ation when Its huge China Clipper carried the first consignment of air mall from Alameda, Calif., to Manila, with stops at Honolulu, Midway islands, Wake Island, and Guam. Capt Edwin C Mu stek, veteran chief pi lot of the company, was in command of the craft and was aid ed by a crew of six men. Fourteen passen gers started on the flight and twelve were dropped off to relieve the staffs at Midway and Wake. The 1,700 miles between Guam and Manila had not been flown heretofore. After one or two more flights to Manila the clipper will continue to China and operate on through sched ules thereafter. The Philippine Clipper, second of Pan-American Airways' trans-Pacific air fleet arrived at Alameda from the Atlantic coast and her crew began preparations for a flight to Manila be ginning December 8. The plane flew 500 miles from San Diego In three hours 50 minutes. Previously she had flown from Miami, Fla., to Acapulco, Mexico, 1,590 miles, and Acapulco to San Diego, 1,600 miles. ern provinces of China, fostered by me Japanese army commanders, was 1 likely to prejudice her j case in the naval con fe renee soon to open S in London. There- .1 fore the army high command In Tokyo told Its subordinates on the continent to "lay off," and the am bitious schemes of MaJ. Gen KenJI Dol- hara came to naught, KenJI Ooihara at 'e??t for the Pres- em. xiiui iiiuiier. wno had become known as "the Lawrence of Manchuria," quietly departed from reiping, going to Tientsin. Thus, for the first time In recent years, the Japanese militarists have been checked, by the Tokyo govern ment, which Informed them that the mission of the Japanese army In Man chukuo did not Include Intriguing for separation of the Chinese provinces and that It would not be permitted to pass south of the Great Wall without an Imperial order. Instead of the autonomy coup, the Nanking government was told by the Japanese authorities in China that it must Institute reforms In the northern provinces. Akira ArlyoshI, Japanese ambassador, bad a long conference with Dictator Chiang Kai-shek In Nan king, and told the press he bad re ceived assurance that the Chinese gov ernment was adequately prepared to cope with the situation In north China. ArlyoshI said be had also received as surance that Nanking desired to con tinue friendly relations with Japan. At this point ln Ju-keng, adminis trative commissioner of the demili tarized zone in north China, came forth with a proclamation of autonomy for the territory south of the Great Wall to within a few miles of Peiplng and Tientsin, announcing that he stood for the rescue of China and close har mony with Japan. It was expected this lead might be followed by Sung Chen-yuan, overlord of Hopel and Chahar provinces, but the attitude of other north China leaders was uncer tain. Martial law was declared in Shanghalkwan, where the Great Wall dividing northern China from Man chukuo reaches the sea. Split in the American Federation of Labor CH)R a long time It has been appar " ent that there would be a split In the American Federation of Labor over the issue of Industrial anionism versus craft unionism. That split now has occurred,! and In the ranks of or ganized labor there Is coming a great battle between the two ele ments. The matter was precipitated' by the res ignation of John L Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers of America, as vice npMriifant nf thm fat. eraaon. He is the Joh" chief protagonist for Lewis Unit unionization of mass production of industries, and his opponents, the craft anion advocates, are led by William Green, president of the organisation. The latter have bad a majority la the late conventions of the federation, bnt Lewis baa a lot of followers snd Is a determined lighter.

With these additions the sacred col lege will have sixty-nine members, the largest number In the history of the church and only one short of the full complement of thirty-nine Italians and thirty non-Italians. The pope also named the Most Rev. Joseph C. Plageos. recently auxiliary bishop of Detroit as bishop of the di ocese of Marquette Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and Most Rev. Gerald P.

Nehemlah's Mission to Jerusalem (Neh. 2) While performing bis official duty as cupbearer to the Persian king, Ne hemlah learned of the distress of bis brethren at Jerusalem. The walls of tbe city were broken down. Its gates burnt and the remnant of tbe cap tives were In great affliction and re proach. This news greatly moved him. He definitely asked God to give the king a favorable attitude toward his project. In answer to his prayer he was granted a leave of absence from the Persian court and credentials from the king. He Journed to Jeru salem and made a survey of the city by night without disclosing bis pur pose to anyone. Having thus obtained first-hand Information, be called the representatives of the Jews together and said, "Let us build tbe walls of Jerusalem." II. Preparation for the Building (Neh. 3). The division of labor In this project displayed Nehemlah's administrative ability. A wise distribution of labor makes difficult tasks easy. Observe some outstanding features of bis ad ministrative work. L He" laid stress upon Indifference. In administrative tasks It Is proper that unfaithfulness should be pointed out Such action serves as a warning to the unfaithful and encouragement to the faithful. 2. Help rendered by the women (v. 12). It Is a fine thing for tbe women to take hold even In building a wall when there are no men to do It 3. Stress laid upon earnestness of some (v. 20). Recognition of fidelity will spur one on to faithful perform ance of his task. 4. Every one built over against his own house (vv. 10, 23, 28). There is no Incentive for exertion quite so strong as that which concerns a man's own family. 5. Certain guilds of men undertook certain work (vv. 8, 81, 32). Wise ad ministration sometimes calls for such alignment of efforts. Men of the same class and occupation usually work best together. HI. Hindrancee Encountered (4:1 8:14). 1. Scoffing of Sanballat and Toblah (4:1-6; cf. 2:19, 20). The oppressors of God's servants frequently begin by hurling shafts of ridicule at them 2. Conspiracy for a sudden attack (4:7:9). When the enemy saw the work was actually succeeding, they changed from ridicule to an attempt to tnrow tne workmen Into a panic 8. conspiracy with tbe Jews (4:10- 28). They sought by means of the- Jews from the outside, to discouiage those on the Inside. 4. Greed and oppression of the rich (5:1-13). The Jews of that day, like tbe prof Iteers of our day, took advantage of the poor and oppressed them so that they mortgaged their land and even sold their daughters Into slavery, B. Scheme to take Nehemlah's Ufa (8:1-14). When Sanballat and Toblab failed in every other way, they craftily sought to get Nehemlah away that they might Kin him. IV. The Wall Completed (8:18-7:4). So energetically did they . pursue their tasks that In flfty-two days the wall, wag completed.'- Wben their ene mies saw that Mr spite" of all ' their schemes the work was actually com pleted, they were cast down, for they perceived that the work was of God. Upon 'the completion of the work, Nehemlah set his brother to rule over Jerusalem and gave instructions aa to the opening and closing ef the gates of tbe city. May we learn from this;' . t.

Now, we were climbing an almost pre cipitous grade, now, slowing down for a dangerous curve, while every little while aS a stretching plain was reached. the steady hand upon tbe throttle sent the long line of cars speeding like an arrow through the bright December sunshine. We were on our way to spend Christ mas with Uncle Jerry and Aunt Emma. They had sent a hearty Invitation for us to come out and now we were al most there. I held my breath at the sheer beauty of the scene that stretched before our eyes. Mountain peaks that seemed to touch the sky, can yons dropping thou sands of feet lakes covered by glitter ing thicknesses of Ice, vivid green pines, looking like giant Christmas trees. I had never seen, never even visualized anything so beautiful. A loud shriek from the big whistle, a slow, crunchlne and erlndlnir nt brakes, and our train came to a stop. Uncle Jerry, rosy and smiling, stood waiting upon the platform, giving dad, mother, Helen and myself a true west ern welcome. "Aunt Emma Is all excited about your coming," he beamed. A short drive through a wonderland of beauty, and the big sprawling ranch nouse came In sight Aunt Emma stood In the doorway, and a cowboy, who was grooming a pony, looked curi ously at us. I wanted to look around before going Indoors, but tantalizing odors from the kitchen made me sud denly realize how hungry I was. All was bustle and excitement hurry and preparation. Even the horses and ponies In tbe corral seemed excited, as If they sensed something In the air. The afternoon and evening went by uu wings. Christmas morning dawned upon a world that looked even lovelier than It had yesterday. A million Jewels hung on bush and tree, a sky of turquoise stretched Itself across the snow-covered mountains and valleys. inside the ranch bouse a flee of crackling logs threw Its ruddy glow over the living room. The dining table was spread with tempting foods. Break fast of home-cured bam and sausage, fluffy flapjacks and syrup, steaming hot coffee with thick cream. Then a short drive to the little church, an Inspiring talk by the pastor, and the strains of the old and beautiful Christmas hymns ; neighbors sad ..friends stopping Unci e Jerry and Aunt Bmm-a to wish them "Merry 'Christmas." Di k avt Q through the clear, frosty air,' and la ter the big Christ Bass dinner. Golden brown turkey snd dressing on a big blue platter, a huge mound of snowy potatoes, native vege tables and reUshes, tempting pieces of mince and pumpkin pie. And best ef all, an appetite that only the moun tains can give. .
