Work of the D. A. v. committee
among veterans in the hospitals here
during the Christmas holidays was de-
scribed in another report.
Willard w. Rice, national commander
of the Disabled American Veterans,
came to Washington during the week
for number of conferences and to
add the support of the disabled men
to the movement to get early and ia
vorable action by the Senate on the
cruiser bill
To Senator Hale, chairman of the
naval affairs committee. and other lead
ers at the Capitol Comdr. Rice ex-
planned that the D. A. ", in conven-
ton at Denver last Summer. had defl-
nitely gone on record strongly in favor
of the enactment of the 15-cruiser bill
as one of the actions that surely should
be taken by the Senate before adjourn
ment, the House having passed the
measure at the last session.
All that is needed Is to bring the
actual vote, as there is ample support
for the bill, according to assurances
Comdr Rice received on Capitol Hill.
The subcommittee having in charge
the Johnson bill, covering the proposed
amendments of the D. A. V. to the
laws governing the Veterans Bureau, is
about to report, and assurances have
been received that the veterans COM
mittee of the House will soon take up
consideration of the measure.
Aside from this particular bill there
is another bill that has been intro
duced by Representative johnson OF

ROME CRITIC HITS
ROCkEFELLER'S TALK
Newspaper Attacks Remarks by
John D., Jr., at Chicago Univer-
sity Chapel Dedication.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, February Am address by
John D. Rockefeller, jr., dedicating the
new chapel of the University OF Chi
cago some months ago, came in for
critical comment last night in Osserva-
tore Romano.
The newspaper quotes Mr.. Rockefeller
as saying: THE object of your belief
Is OF little Importance; the main thing
Is, adhere to 1t sincerely and strongly"
Osservatore, which is used by the
Vatican frequently for official express
sion, contends that such a statement
puts all religions on the same basis
and 'above all makes religious faith
consist in the firm adhesion of the
spirit to whatever fantasy pleases. Be-
lieve Strongly-we are agreed that this
Is truly an original way of preaching
religion"
Continuing, the paper says:
MOT to preoccupy oneself with the
truth of the object of ones own be-
lief signifies in feeble words pretending
to construct SkyScraper without being
sure of the solidity of the base. After
all, the practical results depend upon
the force of faith; this in its turn
depends upon the reasons that initiate
in its favor. If we do not preoccupy
ourselves precisely with that which we
believe, how would it be possible to
have solid convictions? And If we
lack solid convictions, how can we pre-
tend to go ahead eff1caciously? The
idea leads to the act. That is one of
the first principles of psychology"
