THE PRoBLEMs OF TODAY.

What are today's issues? Farm rehei, tue World Court conservation, immigration League of Nations State Rights, and the many other things that are being pressed ill Congress and the public press? True these problems, but ae- cordine to the National Council of the National Economic League there are others which are engaging public thought more than any of these.
 vote taken among members of the League recently made public by Charles E. Hughes show ed majority of 1,72O ballots placed the ad- ministration of justice the problem of great est importance facing the United States today. Lawlessness led with 1,592 votes; Prohibition second with 1,247; flood control, 1,073; and prevention of war with LOOT votes, came next. The extent to which public opinion has changed in the last 20 years is shown by the fact that tarif national defense, trusts and population, occupying leading places in the the Roosevelt regime are now put in twentyeighth, twenty ninth fftieth, and fifty-fourth positions. Farm relief was sixth the list the World Court ninth conservation tenth. League of Nations eleventh, air navigation twelfth, and Federal Government and population at the bottom of the list.
 Lawlessness and Prohibition naturally linked together. The fact that the Economic League members representative and conservative citizens, place them at the head of the list of problems to be solved, it is significant answer to those who seek to deny them an issue that has yet to be settled. They and will remain national problems. Whether they will become political issues in partisan sense depends on party leaders ideas of expediency and their political courage.

 The meeting of the n-American States has adjourned in atmosphere of general though not universal goodwill It is paradox to say that tne lack of complete unanimty is of it's achievements It testfes to the frankness with which the intervention issue debated Before she conference met it widely pre- dicted that the influence of the United States would be exerted to stine all discussion of Nicara qua and the Caribbean The predictions belied.

International conferences have of their greatest uses as a public forum If some bitterness" survived Saturdays dramatic debate, as The Times correspondent observes. it would be the temporary sting of defeat and not the rancor that would have followed upon denial of free speech.
 As result of open debate Latin America and the United States are both on record with re- gard to intervention It is shown in the first place that Latin America is not unit. Three fourths of the southern republics either expressed no interest in the intervention problem sided with the American delegation. Among the great CT number of Caribbean republics, the other hand, policies have evoked a strong feeling of fear and resentment These the concrete facts which it is reasonable to assume Wash ington in the future will take into account. Our own position, in turn. has been clearly de- fnetl We have refused to subscribe to uncon- l Wn1cn has no basis in international law and which would inevitably be nullifed in emergency.

The factua results at Havana are three: re- organization of the Pan Ameican Union, a begin hing in codfcation of international law and the hrst step toward the establishment of compulsory arbitration which is to be further considered in conference at Washington next year In this last enterprise lies the opportunity for sober and fruitful approach to the intervention problem such as the Argentina Salvador formula at Ha- vana did not supply.

Sleeping Churches"
Christian Herald )

It is startling revelation that in 11,394 churches, belonging to three great denomina- tions. not single conversion was recorded dur ing 1927. Reduced to figures, 32 per cent. of the Presbyterian, Northern Baptist and Methodist Episcopal churches of our land failed signally as far as winning souls is concerned.
 What was the cause of the failure of these 1,394 churches (out of grand total .of 34,575 in the three denomnations) to win souls? It is question that may well be urged at the present time Some will doubtless hold thing re- sponsible while others will look for the cause in a different direction. There are not few who will view the situation as the Inevitable outcome Of the exclusion of evangelism by the churches on the principle that every pastor should be his own evangelist.
 When John wrote to the Seven Churches of Asia, rebuking some of their spiritual decline and encouraging others in faithful service he dealt with a problem which had many discour- aging features The lukewarm and indifferent he urged to faithfulness and spiritual activity It would be well for our modern denominations 1T we had his counterpart in these days to awaken our sleeping churches to clear sense Of their duty From the beginnings of Chris tianlty, the trained evangelist recognized as an indispensable adjunct of the Church Evangel ism is our sore need, and it may be that onl, through its reapplieation the churches can he revitalized and enabled to do their whole duty
 He that wnneth souls is wise.' And if this applies to the individual, it has tenfod great application to the church today

 HOOVERS ATTITURE CLEAR.

Representative Tllman, Democrat of Arkansas criticises Secretary Hoover for what he terms a lack of frankness and candor in his reply to the Borah questionnaire. Whatever may be the shortcomings. if any, of the Secretary's communi- cation to Senator Borah his personal views on the Prohibition issue have been clearly set forth on previous occasions These are cited in an article in recent issue of the Outlook in which the author quotes from interviews and writings of Mir. Hoover on the benefits of the dry laws. On one occasion the Secretary of Commerce wrote as follows
 The application of the many discoy-
 cries in the physical sciences, the n-
 crease in efficiency, both in workers
 and executives the elimination of in-
 dustrial waste and the advent of pro
 hibitlon, have raised standards of
 living and material comfort to height
 unparalleled in our history and there
 fore in the history of the world.
 In the interview mentioned, Secretary Hooy- CT said
 There can be doubt about the
 economic benefits of prohibition. View
 ing the temperance question only from
 this angle, prohibition has proved it's
 case. l think increased temperance
 over the land is responsible for a good
 share of the enormously increased eff
 ciency in production which statistics
 gathered by the Department of Com
 merce show to have followed the passage
 of the dry laws
 So much for the Secretary's views on th economics of prohibition. But, in his reply t Senator Borah's questionnaire, he declared tha prohibition is great moral and social expert ment This does not differ. apparently from hi position at the time he made the above auote statement. On that occasion he refused to com init himself to whether prohibition had prove it's case from moral standpoint In fact might be gathered that he does not believe

KELLOGG FETED
BY FREE STATE
Ambassador Is HonOred at
Official Dinner.

BIZ United Press
DUBLIN, Aug. 31.-The Irish ma
ton today paid homage to Frank B.
Kellogg, United States secretary Of
state, as the leader Of international
peace.
He was feted everywhere as he
continued his brief visit in repay
ment of the recent visit to the
United States by President William
T. Cosgrave of the Irish Free State.
Thursday night the American was
guest of honor at a State dinner and
the guests, including President Co.'S
grave, members of the cabinet,
Count and Countess Mccormack,
Col. and Mrs. James Fitzmaurice,
Tim Tealey, Governor General
and Mrs. NIcNeill, Mrs. Kelvin
OHiggins, Admiral Burrage and
American Minister Sterling, heard
Cosgrave offer a toast characteriz-
ing Kellogg as:
1.-The ambassador of world peace.
The most popular man in Ireland
and perhaps the world. He is a SYM
boil of international peace. He is
the typical example of a man who
has raised himself to the highest po-
sition and at the same time has
benefited mankind"
Kellogg was moved by the toast.
He denied he originated the thought
for the recent anti-war pact signed
in Paris.
THE spirit of the pact came from
the desolate battlefelds, the ruined
homes and wrecked hopes" he said.
