Move Toward Peace
Neville chamberlain’s
dream of security for peace in
Europe through amicable arrange
ments of the democratic govern
ments with the dictators may yet
be realized. Anyhow, consumma
tion of the ideal was brought nearer
when Lord Perth, British ambassa
dor to Rome, and Italian Foreign
Minister Ciano signed the treaty of
friendship which had been under
negotiation for'' weeks. The pact is
designed to end the long feud be
tween the two nations, and it is
probable France will join in after
negotiations with Mussolini already
suggested by Foreign Minister Bon
net. The British prime minister,
of course, hopes that later Hitler
can be brought into the group and
that there will be formed a London
Paris-Rome-Berlin quadrangle in
place of the Berlin-Rome axis.
Temporarily, the treaty provides
for friendly relations between
Britain and Italy in the Mediter
ranean and the Near East, but it
does not go into full effect until
“such date as the two governments
together shall determine.’’ In other
words, Italy must first have with
drawn its troops from Spain and
Britain must have recognized Italy’s
conquest of Ethiopia. The former
may be delayed until France has
won final victory. The latter de
pends upon permission from the
League of Nations council, which
has been asked by Chamberlain.
In essence, the treaty is a prom
ise by each side not to attempt to
change the status quo in the Medi
terranean or Red sea areas nor to
injure each other’s interests there
in any way.
Italy is to reduce her forces in
Libya to peace time strength, and
will adhere to the London naval
treaty limiting the size of warships.
The Suez canal is to be open to all
nations equally in war or peace.
Italy will abide by the international
nonintervention committee’s ruling
on volunteers in the Spanish war
and in. case to withdrawrfrom Spain
entirely when the war is ended.
Italy declares it has no territorial
or political aims and seeks no
privileged economic position in
Spain, the Balearic islands, Spanish
Morocco or Spanish possessions
overseas.
Political leaders in Berlin did not
minimize the importance of the
Anglo-Italian pact, but insisted that
the Berlin-Rome axis was not weak
ened. They were awaiting some
what anxiously the visit of Premier
Daladier and Foreign Minister Bon
net to London, scheduled for late in
April. There were no indications
in London or Paris that Britain
and France were ready yet to deal
with Hitler. But it was rumored
that Poland might join them and
Italy in a four-power pact.
Ready for Battle
BIG spenders and little spenders
lined up rapidly for the congres
sional fight over President Roose
velt’s program for pump-priming
and relief, for which
i he asKed congress
to provide nearly
seven billion dol
lars. Of the total
sum, 41;2 billions
would be used for
spending and lend
ing to speed recov
ery from the pres
ent business depres
sion. The house ap
propriations com
Senator mittee began hear
Vandenberg jngs on presj.
dent’s proposals, and administra
tion leaders in both branches of
congress laid plans to expedite the
passage of the necessary legisla
tion, still hoping for adjournment
by May 14. Sam Rayburn said all
were agreed on handling the legis
lation as an omnibus bill. He was
confident it would go through the
house quickly, and also confident of
the defeat of attempts to earmark
the recovery funds to assure con
gressional control over them.
Opponents of the pump-priming
led off with vigorous radio ad
dresses by Chairman John Hamilton
of the Republican national commit
tee and Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan. Hamilton came to the
conclusion that “the President and
the New Deal are far more interest
ed in priming the polls than in prim
ing the pumps of industry.” Vanden
berg said the plan, whatever its
temporary benefit, would work a
“long run disaster.”
The priming plan, Vandenberg
said, means trying to spend the
country into better times on bor
rowed money, trying to buy pros
perity.
In his message to congress and in
a radio talk to the nation, the Presi
dent proposed three groups of meas
ures. The first involves mainly ad
ditional appropriations for the com
ing fiscal year, as follows:
One billion two hundred and fifty
million dollars for the Works Prog
ress administration; $175,000,000 for
the Farm Security administration;
$75,000,000 for the National Youth
administration; $50,000,000 for the
Civilian Conservation corps, and the
$1,500,000,000 already made avail
able to the Reconstruction Corpora
tion for lending to business enter
prises.
In a second group of measures
Mr. Roosevelt asked:
Three hundred million dollars for
Immediate expansion of the housing
and slum-clearance work of the
United States Housing authority;
$1,450,000,000 for public works loans
and grants; an additional $100,000
000 for public roads; an additional
$37,000,000 for flood control and re
clamation projects already autho
rized and an additional $25,000,000
for federal buildings.
A third group listed by the Chief
Executive referred to private cred
it. It involved desterilization of
$1,400,000,000 of gold and a reduc
tion by the Federal Reserve board
of member bank reserve require
ments which would add another
$750,000,000 to the credit resources
of the nation’s banks. With these
actions Mr. Roosevelt coupled a
simplification of Security commis
sion regulations.
Barcelona in Peril
SPANISH insurgents, having
reached the Mediterranean at
the port of Vinaroz, spread north
and south along the coast and ef
fectively cut off Cat- f. mm.'
alonia from the rest ,
of loyalist Spain.
Veteran Spanish and
Italian troops, led
by Gen. Garcia Va- ;
lino and Gen. Migu- j
el Aranda, blasted I
their way into Vina- |
roz in a single day >
of severe combat, i
and Valino then i
started a northward
drive on Tortosa, Gen. Valino
where important coastal highways
converge.
Franco’s next great objective was
Barcelona. His forces were begin
ning a new movement against that
city from the west, and his naval
and air fleets left their bases to co
operate. After Barcelona falls, as
it seems likely to do, Valencia will
be attacked; and then Franco plans
a final effort to take Madrid.
Dr. Townsend Pardoned
DR. FRANCES E. TOWNSEND,
carrying a pair of socks and a
typewriter, arrived at the jail in
Washington, ready to serve his thir
ty day term for contempt of con
gress and become a martyr. But
the old age pension planner was in
formed that President Roosevelt
had pardoned him. The pardon
was issued upon the urgent request
of Representative C. Jasper Bell,
chairman of the investigating com
mittee before which Dr. Townsend
refused to testify.
Won't Accept Pay Cut
t t rHILE congress and various
W government agencies were try
ing to find a way to save hard
pressed railways from bankruptcy,
the Association of American Rail
roads, represented by President
John J. Pelley, and railway labor,
represented by George M. Harrison,
president of the Railway Labor Ex
ecutives’ association, conferred in
vain over the desire of the manag
ers to reduce the pay of the workers.
The latter rejected the idea with
scorn, and defied a threat by man
agement representatives that rail
roads will invoke the railroad medi
ation act to enforce consideration
of pay cuts.
“Wage cuts are out of the ques
tion,” Harrison said. “I never heard
of such a silly thing in my life. Man
agement is trying to reduce buying
power at the same time President
Roosevelt is pouring out 4% billion
dollars in an attempt to increase
buying power. They aren’t going to
get one cent from us. That’s all
there is to that.”
Benes Grants Amnesty
PRESIDENT BENES of Czecho
* Slovakia contributed toward his
country’s inner tranquility and the
peace of central Europe by pro
claiming an Easter amnesty for
about 4,000 political offenders, most
of them agitators fpr German and
other minorities. Excluded were
Sudeten Germans who have fled
abroad. Benes also made a radio
address in which he said his gov
ernment was ready to meet any sit
uation arising from the troubled
state of Europe, but was ready also
to go as far as any of its neighbors
in establishing good relations. He
denied German charges that Czech
oslovakia is going communist.
Congressmen Vexed
\17'HILE committees of the sen
ate and house were still try
ing to reconcile the widely differing
versions of the tax bill passed by
the two houses,
| President Roosevelt
| sent to the chair
j men a long letter
s urging retention of
the tax on undis
* tributed profits,
if which had been
| eliminated by the
I senate. Many mem
I bers of congress
| thought the Chief
Sen. Harrison mating he
would veto the bill if this feature
were omitted. That would leave in
effect the present law carrying a
severe tax which has been widely
attacked as one of the causes of the
prevailing business depression.
The intervention by Mr. Roosevelt
at this time and in this manner was
considered unprecedented and
aroused many expressions of
amazement and indignation, espe
cially among the senate conferees.
Senator Pat Harrison, their leader
and the chairman of the senate
finance committee, obviously dis
pleased, said:
“The senate conferees will insist
in conference on the amendments
adopted in the senate.
“I believe that the repealing of
the undistributed profits tax and the
modifications of the capital gains
tax, as adopted by the senate, will
help business.”
Three New Saints
DOPE PIUS took part in elaborate
* Easter ceremonies in St. Peter’s
church, Rome, and bestowed his
blessing on an immense throng
gathered before the basilica. He
also formally canonized three new
saints, these being Andrea Bobola
of Poland, Salvador de Horta of
Spain and Giovanni Leonardi of It
aly.
In Jerusalem British troops and
police kept order among Christians,
Jews and Moslems, for all of whom
Easter was a holy day.
Orville Wright Honored
A/fORE than 200 of America’s
leading figures in aeronautics
gathered in, Detroit on the invita
tion of Henry and Edsel Ford to pay
tribute to Orville Wright, first man
ever to fly an airplane.
The celebration, dedicating the
newly restored group of Wright
buildings at Ford's Greenwich Vil
lage, was in honor of Orville Wright
and in memory of his brother Wil
bur, who died in 1912.

Mayor Dore Is Dead
SEATTLE’S spectacular mayor,
John W. Dore, died after a long
illness. He had failed of re-nomina
tion in the recent primaries. Dore
was a brilliant lawyer and a fight
ing executive. He was allied politi
cally with Dave Beck, labor leader.
Will Defend Peace
DAN-AMERICAN day was marked
* by an address by President
Roosevelt, broadcast throughout the
world, in which he warned all na
tions that the peoples of the Amer
ican republics will not permit ag
gressor nations to threaten the
peace of this hemisphere. All of
them, he asserted, are firmly re
solved to maintain peace, though
this might entail sacrifices—even
the sacrifice of life.
He reiterated this country’s “good
neighbor policy in its relations
with Central and South American
countries and cited this hemi
sphere’s successful "demonstration
that the rule of justice and law can
be substituted for the rule of
force.”

Lesson for May 1
FOLLOWING VISION
WITH SERVICE
LESSON TEXT—Mark 9:14-29.
GOLDEN TEXT—All things are pos
sible to him that believeth.—Mark 9:23.
PRIMARY TOPIC—When Only Jesus
Could Help.
JUNIOR TOPIC—At the Foot of the
Mountain.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC—Living Up to Our Knowledge of
Christ.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC-—Following Vision with Service.
One of the lessons that seems
hard to learn and to keep constantly
effective in the life of a Christian
is that mountain-top experiences of
spiritual uplift are not an end in
themselves but a preparation for
service. All too often we come to
regard such times of peculiar bless
ing, whether in the privacy of our
own room, or in the great confer
ence of Christian workers, as some
thing which should glow warmly in
our own hearts, making us glad in
the Lord, and not as a background
and preparation for ministry to
others. One might just as well hope
to feed the physical body constantly
without any work or exercise and
keep in good health, as to feed the
soul on good things, do nothing for
God or fellow-man, and still avoid
what someone has called “spiritual
dyspepsia.”
The writer has just attended a
most Unusual and blessed Bible con
ference, the leaders of which right
ly apprehended this truth. Evan
gelism was the matter chiefly in
mind, but instead of announcing the
theme of the week’s meetings as
“Evangelism” the program present
ed it as “Preparation for Evangel
ism.” That is sound spiritual sense.
We came not to discuss evangelism
itself so much as to prepare our
selves to go out and evangelize.
God help us to do it!
Jesus rightly characterized the
time in which he lived as
I. A Faithless Generation Cvv. 14
19).
“Jesus found in the valley disput
ing scribes, a distracted father, a
demon-possessed boy, and defeated
disciples.” The- unbelief which
called forth the rebuke of Jesus “is
revealed in different phases. There
were the scribes, willful and per
sistent unbelief; there was the
father, unwilling unbelief; there
was the boy, irresponsible unbelief;
and there were the disciples, un
conscious unbelief. The whole at
mosphere was an unbelieving at
mosphere” (Morgan).
As we look at that depressing pic
ture of long ago, let us consider our
selves lest we also be tempted to
“limit God” by our faithlessness.
The most casual reader of Scripture
cannot help but see that God seeks
out and honors faith, and as we be
gin to study God’s Word with care
we realize that the fundamental of
all fundamentals is really to believe
God. Some Christian men and wom
en are living out a tremendous testi
mony for God by fully believing Him
and His Word, but many of those
who profess to follow Him actually
make Him appear ridiculous be
fore the world because their unbe
lief makes Him out to be a “small”
God instead of the infinite, eternal,
omnipotent God.
II. The All-Powerful Saviour (vv.
23-27).
The keynote of our first division
might well have been the sad words
“they could not” in verse 18. But
now the Son of God has come and
the new keynote is the inspiring
words of verse 23, “all things are
possible to him that believeth.”
There is no problem too difficult for
our Lord; there is no sorrow too
deep for His comfort; there is no
challenging opportunity too great
for His enabling power.
A distressing fact that emerges as
one becomes acquainted with Chris
tian work and workers is that the
work of God is being hindered by
men and women who deny their tes
timony by their destructive works.
One wonders if much of it might not
be stopped “dead in its tracks” if
the ones against whom the attacks
are directed were first to see that
their own life is blameless before
God and then trust Him to meet the
issue. He is able. Read Isaiah
54:17, and if you are a true "serv
ant of the Lord” claim your “heri
tage.”
III. Prayer the Connecting Link
(vv. 28, 28).
The disciples in chagrin at their
inability to deal with the difficulty
of the demon-possessed boy, having
witnessed the power of Christ in
delivering him, begin now to realize
that evidently even though uncon
scious of it, they had come into the
powerless position of unbelief.
What a solemn warning there is
for us in the experience of these
followers of the Lord. Like the
termites who destroy the very life
and strength of wood—and yet leave
it apparently whole, only to crum
ble in dust when it is put under
the pressure of daily use—there are
spiritually destructive influences
which all but unconsciously destroy
the virile strength of the Christian.
Prayerlessness is the most effective
weapon of Satan at this point. With
out prayer there is no power. Real
problems are not successfully met
nor are opportunities grasped “but
by prayer.”
