Newsprint Paper in
Hands of Monopolists
BY Assoeictcd Press

Washington, June %. - Formal
charges against print paper manu-
factur ers, frankly designed to force
the Federal Trade Commission to
some action against them, were filed
with the commission to-day by
Frank p. Walsh, who formerly was
chairman of the Federal Industrial
Relations Commission. Acting as an
individual in this instance, Mr..
Walsh charges that news print
manufacturers for many months
have been using unfair methods of
competition in production and sale
of print paper He asks the COM
mission to conduct a public hear
ing.
The basis of the camplaint is the
commissions recent report, issued
at the conclusion of it's investigation
into the production and cost of print
paper. The manufacturers are
charged with having conspired and
banded together to control the in
dustry, increase the cost of peper by
restricting free competition and
limiting the. production and having
divided the country into territories
apportioned among themselves for
the sale of their product.

THE MAN WHO SAW THROUGH THINGS
The international Sunday Scho Lesson For June "a Is
The Purpose of Johns Gospel"-John 2115-25.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

A few minutes ago i talked with
man Of the type of those who see
big things in little way. He is es-
sentially a pettifogger. 1t is we'll
that he is not lawyer. for he would
be one of the sort who have con-
strued the law into complexity of
snares and subtleties and technical
enactments chiefly useful for defeat
ing essential justice. 1t is a relief
TO turn from the irritations of a
small-minded man to tho contempla-
ilon OF one who had sweep and
breadth of vision, and whose fash
ing eye penetrated to the heart of
things and discovered what really
matters. In literature and heraldry
this mans symbol Is the far-visioned
eagle. For 1t is of the Apostle John,
the Beloved Disciple, write, whose
message in its entirety is the theme
for present study by the millions of
the Sunday school. e"
Nobody has time nowadays for
musty tones dealing with outworn
issues. This is the hour of the liv-
ing present. We are all eager for
light on our own trouble day. The
worlds quest is for trail through
the tangle of things. Everybody is

the master word, who can tell us
something about the ultimate mean
ing of this cataclysm which has over
taken mankind. or books upon the
superficialties of the situation we
have more than enough. We crave
a word of life, Nhat will steady our
nerves and guide our feet, and make
US to see the end of it all.
That is just the sort of book this
AafN Af an
and women, whose hearts have felt
the personal touch of the war, are
turning daily to this old volume for
light and comfort. 1t helps them
more than anything else. For John,
the sturdy fisherman who shared
with his brother the title, sons of
thunder" saw beyond the days conf
ing round. beyond the severing of
families and the abandonment OF
ones calling. beyond the breaking up
of the old order and the old system
of thinking, beyond suffering and
shame and death itself. into the Ulti-
mate Reality, where reigns the will
of God and the now triumphant
Christ. 1t is not to be forgotten that
this biographer whose work we have
been studying with such delight and
profit was also the Seer of Patmos,
the revealer of the eternal mysteries;
and the interpreter of the pre-eXist-
ent Word.
A Friends Perfect Tribute
Learned savants have produced a
mountain of commentaries upon this
Gospel of John. We do not turn to
them to-day. Simply and naturally,
and according to its most obvious
meaning, we accept this great book
as the perfect tribute of real man.
whose hand God guided, to the
Friend whom he had known and
loved. Because John was closest to
Jesus on earth, his biography enables
us who live to-day to get close to the
very heart of the Christ
This is the supreme commentary
upon the Fourth Gospel-millions of
persons turn first to 1t to find, in
