FOR WORLD EYANGELIZATION.

Thirty church denominations have united to raise, in a five
year period, a billion dollars for world evangeization. Of this
amount, SS6,777,572 is to be raised this year in a drive covering
the week of April 25 to May 2.
The 1920 budget of the interchurch campaign comprises the
folowing:-Foreignm missions, S107, SCI, 4SS; home missions, $780,
949,037; American education, $7S,S37,431 American religious
education, $5,93l,92 American hospitals and homes, $5,116,465
American ministerial pensions and relief, $20,510,299; miseel-
laneous, $8,770,927.
The churches included comprise the various denominations
of Advent Christian, Baptists, Brethren, Christian, Congregation
al, Disciples, Evangelical, Friends, Holiness, Lutheran, Mennonite,
Methodist, Zion, Presbyterian, Reformed, and United Brethren
some thirty denominations.
The effort is an attempt on the part of the principal Profess
tant denominations to unite in a common program of activity,
without attempting to solve the problems arising from divergent
doctrines and policy, a union to fight jointly against sin and to
civilization. No attempt is to be made to abolish
denominationalism, but cooperation viii eliminate rivalry. It is
a carefully t~hought-out, budnesslike plan, to eliminate waste and
duplicate effort, to unity Protestant forces in the common cause
of humanity's betterment.
Of the $336,777,572 sought this year, $175,448,349 is to be
paid this year, the balance being paid in from two to five years,
and it is confidently asserted that the program adopted will enable
the churches to solve the problems thrust forward by the world
and help the establishment of "a brotherhood of men and ma
based upon the Fatherhood of God"

TURK REMAINS IN EUROPE.

AS a direct result of the senates refusal to ratify the peace
treaty and join the League Of Nations, the Turk is to remain in
Europe, and continue his semibarbaric rule of oppression and
as slayer of Christian people.
The nter-Allied supreme council has replied to President
Wilson's protest declaring that without Americas assistance, and
with America refusing to share in the responsibility of maintain
ing peace, the Allies have found it impossible to adopt his sug-
Egestion that the Turk be driven from Europe.
The fact that America has refused the preferred mandate
over Turkey and that none of the great powers are in position to
assume It, that without Americas participation, the necessary
military forces and other machinery necessary to the administra-
ton of a state, are lacking to the league, gives the Allied premiers
their excuse.
Thus one by one, the great changes in Europe made possible
by Americas participation in the war and the consequent victory
are being forfeited and the old order of imperialistic ideals being
restored. For these results, the United States senate is morally
responsible.
Concerning the public spirited offer Of A. N. Bush to build
houses in West Salem at cost to help solve Salem's housing prob
lem, the Eugene Guard remarks: "Down in Salem, where the lack
OF housing facilities is very acute, A. N. Bush, head of the pioneer
banking house of Ladd & Bush, announces that he is prepared to
build one hundred five room bungalows and dispose of them to
those in need of homes on very easy teams and at a low rate of
interest. The sole object of this move, it is given out. is to re-
heve the scarcity of homes which is seriously hindering the
growth Of the city, and t. is an idea characteristic of Mr.. Bush
a wealthy citizen, whose fortune has been devoted to the upbuild-I
ing of the community in many substantial ways. Always it has
been the backing of his banking institution that has brought fruit
industries, packing plants, paper mills and a variety of other in
dustries to Salem, and stood back of them once they were located
there until their success was assured. That this broad policy of
community building is sound in a business sense is shown by the
fact that the institution adopting it has grown larger and stronger
as the city has expanded commercially and industrially. There
are IN every community wealthy men who might we'll emulate Mr..
Bush IN constructive investments and by adopting a policy of
to those who are engaged in legitimate commercial and
activities, and do it, too, in a quiet, uobtrusive way,
as II 1t was the most natural thing in the world to do, Just as the
Salem banker has always seemed to view it." 4

sters to nest nearby, where he could
have fun watching them.
Not finding an old tin can that
suited him, Johnnie took a shiny
maple syrup can, which his father
said he might have. 1t seemed TO
him that it was just the kind he
needed, fer the only opening in il was
a small round hole in the top, hardly
bigger than a twenty-five-eent piece.
THE story in the weekly paper said
that the wrens' doorway should be as
small as that, so that no ruffianly
English sparrows could enter the
house and disturb the little people
that were to dwell there.)
Johnnie Green punched a few nail
holes in the sides of the syrup can, be-
cause he thought that if he lived in
such a place. he would want plenty of
fresh air. Then he nailed a board to
the can. And next he nailed the
board to a cherry tree close to the
house.
ArJer that Johnnie had nothing
more to do but wait. And he had not
waited two days before Rusty Wren
discovered the bright tin can that was
to be his summer home.
As soon as she saw it, Rusty's wife
said that there must be kind people
living in the farmhouse, or they never
would have driven nails through a
spick-and-span can just to make
strangers happy.

THE DENIM DEMENTIA

The overalls movement that is sweeping the country is a
popular protest against the high cost of living. It offers an easy
way to visualize resentment against high prices for food and
raiment. Because it is a fad and spectacular, it is popular.
In so far as it involves an extra expenditure for clothing, it
is absurd, The way to save money ON clothing is to wear old
clothes, not buy more clothing simply because it costs little. True
thrift does not have to advertise itself in overalls or any other
uniform.
If the price of clothing remains high because of the law of
supply and demand, cessation of purchases will soon make a gut
in the market and force it down. Unusual buying of overalls sim
ply enriches the denim manufacturers, and raises the price of
overalls to those who really need them.
In a way, the overalls craze is inconsistent. AS long as
workers demand double their former wages, and producers ask
two or three prices for products, they must expect to pay as
consumers, more for what they themselves purchase.
The high price of clothes begins with the wool growers, who
get double for their wool, and continues all along the line. The
textile workers and mill men, the wholesalers, the tailors, and the
clerks, and not least, the landlord, all ask more-and the con-
sumner foots the bill. The tailor and the merchant hold the sack,
for when prices do fall, the other producers will have cashed in
and the holders of the finished product face loss.
If proflteering exists, it is incidental. When production ex-
consumption and reserves are replenished, prices will drop
a gradual reimbursement to normal follow. The country is
suffering from the usua ILLS that follow in the wake of
war.
