earth is made up at its heart but when I cross over to a world of men I will find a world with gold at its heart'' He spoke about the New Haven headquarters Of the Southern New England Telephone company and said the superintendent there told him the company's policy was based on the assumption that "The intentions of men are always right
 Brothers At Heart
 1.-The world is waiting for the dis covery of that one supreme theory that men are brothers at heart" he said We talk a good deal about the brotherhood of man, but our talk is empty words. Our boys crossed the ocean to fight for the brotherhood of man. Happy are those who lie dead on the battlefelds of France, they still believe in it. Those who came can never he anything else until we learn that men are by nature brothers.
 Germany is going back on her word, playing the base and graceless coward. France, in abject fear, is arguing before the world the old and exploded and wornout theory of force. Great Britain is playing her ancient game of trying to checkmate the poli- tics of Europe, and America draws aside. a contemptible witness of our own contempt for the word--least gra cious of all the allied nations, not because we do not want to be as gra- cious or as willing to help as we were, lut because in the whole wide world we dare not believe in each other.
 Before there can he a brotherhood of man, we must find some ground on which to he brothers. There can be no better basis for better living in the world until somewhere in the heart of you you find place for believing that man is fundamentally right.
 Humanity. white and black, red and yellow. the world around is seek ing but one thing. We'll never get it until we wake up 10 realize that other men are as good as we are. It makes a man sick to think of the things that men can do, it breaks a mans heart to think of lives that are led at the behest Of men.
 All lIdt JtsuS tnTlsL sdlu ana Dt- lieved was that there was gold in the heart of the world. You can't make the first step towards the brotherhood of man until you begin 10 believe in the other fellow. The first thing the savage man ever learned was what we have forgotten, how 10 live to- gcther with his tribe. The first achievement he ever accomplished was 10 live in confidence with his fol- lows.
 As a Man ThinLcth," Etc.
 When we believe that man is wrong VIC get down 10 that level our selves and begin 10 anticipate him. Men live on tho assumption that man is by nature wrong and he must | keep alive and awake in order 10 l keep up with him. That's what's | wrong with 95 per cent Of the sin in | the world. Nc are not urging shc l things that arc worth while because 1 we do not believe the world is ready | to- stand mp with us. The result is hat wc are making the world worse than we are.
 Mankind. with the exception of a p'iNfIk'u lfN " Ttdlg IO ldkf q | stand. We know there is not an esi | purpose in the heart Of America to. jay towards Japan. We want her 10 | live and are willing to help. We will wen mako sacrifices to help her live. | put dccp down in our hearts we arc suspicious of her and WIG know that sometime she will wantsto light it out | or the supremacy Of the Pacific. In Japan they arc loving Americans. but lcep down in their hearts they are watching us and they fear that the ! ime may come when wo will want 10 'rnsh them. There will he trouble imply because nations that wish each | ,iher well cannot forget 10 be aus- ,icious Of each other.
 There will be no brotherhood sof nan until we begin by saving. Men ire brothers. black and white, rcd md yellow. in bondage or free"
