What are the chances Of a young

ter or the manufacturer
The lawyer has exactly one chancs
In i've. The doctors chances are one

however. who formerly ranked with
he doctor and lawyer as member Of
the learned professions" has fallen
hopelessly behind. He Is a 100 to ]
shot.
These figures are part Of a mass Of
astonishing facts brought to light by
the world survey being made by the
Interchurch World Mo cement and
whose sources Of information are
such that many economists and sta
tisticians are availing themselves OF
the results. This survey puts Ameri-
eat minister at the bottom Of the
ladder Of the nations income re-
ceivers - and with responsibilities
which equal those Of any captain Of
industry.

who individually are paid more for
picking cotton than their entire
nelghborhooA pays to the preacher In
a year.
One Of the aims ofNthe present Co
operation Of the worlds Protestant de
nominations Is to end this disgrace OF
the undeppaid minister. With unlver-
stiles, business houses and municipal
ties daily taking action to provide for
the comfort Of their workers, the
church Is to keep pace with the times,
and to arrange not only for adequate
pay for its workers, but to provide
pensions for those no longer able TO

We have not seen a democratic
comment upon the dismissal OF Sec
retary Lansing that does not con-
demn the way that the President
took to get rid OF his Secretary: at
the same time no one questions the
right OF the President to have asked
for his resignation without giving
any reason. had he wished to make
change. The best that can be said
for the President is that he is sick

Is due to service that he tried to
