the $4,000. 600 annually which he
suggests should be tho basis for a

however. THAI with the heavy hur-
dons placed by the transportation
act" out Of the way. there Will be
n substantial excess shown by gov
ornment receipts over government

Der 40, l92O, n total OF ~Sp."ou'N=as-

The treasury has yet reached no
determination as to the form which
the obligations of the foreign govern
mcnts will take. Mr.. Houston says,
but he recommends they be allowed
to extend until June. 194f, at which
they must be paid under existing law.
The foreign governments, the secre-
tary says. should be given every
advantage to prepare FOR the payment
by whatever arrangements they deem
best suited to their individual re-
quirements.

DOESN'T BELONG IN BIBLE
American Educator Explains Presence
in Book of Myth of Jonah
and the Whale.

Dr. r. G. Moulton, professor of lit
erature at the University of Chicago.
addressing a gathering of Wesleyans
at Bath, England, where he received
in the form of a mere footnote COM
ment in manuscript. but by some blum
der, due to careless, slipshod printing
from which the Bible suffered more
than any other book in the world, the
fable of the whale had been included
in the general text. And in this way
had it come down through the ages to
the modern world as pure comedy, or,
his education, insisted that Jonah was
not swallowed by the whale and that
the story forms no part of the real
Bible.
The Bible, mighty in itself, said Doc
tor Moulton, had passed through the
hands of commentators who had no
knowledge, no understanding of lit
erature, and who reduced it to a form
which had little or no likeness to the
real Bible. One of these numerous
commentators had written into that
most spiritual and beautiful book of
Jonah the narrative of the whale, the
only effect being one Of distortion and
Disagreement.
In actual fact the story, asserted
Doctor Moulton. had been originally
what was worse, ribald satire.
