Senator Carter Glass of Virginia heads
subcommittee of the Senate Bank
ing Committee, which soon will begin
an inquiry into the need for changes
in the Federal Reserve act and into
many phases of preSent-day finance.
May Curb Speculation.
Included in this viii be some aspects
of speculation, especially the use Of
Federal Reserve funds to finance Spec
ulative' activities. Moreover, Congress
Is much interested in the whole subject
of short selling, whether it be in stocks
or commodities. The recommendations
growing out of studies of such matters
will be made apparently to the new
Congress, and may lead to legislation
of far-reaching character.
Then there is the railroad problem,
including consolidation. The Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee has
had expert. studies of consolidation
under way for weeks. It has been the
hope of some of the railroad heads
that Congress would relax the law on
consultations and permit practically
voluntary consultations.
The best information today is that
such legislation will not be encouraged
by the present investigation of the In
terstate Commerce Committee; in fact.
that consolidation is likely to get a
backset. In any event, the new Con-
gress cannot escape giving attention to
important railroad matters. Valuation
is one of them.
Possibly, but not probably, the short
session will dispose of the large cues
ton of what to do about the motor
bus. If it cannot be disposed of this
Winter 1t will press for the attention
of the SeVenty-second Congress.

The Wafd or Nationalist party leaders
in Egypt are trying to stir up the peo-
pie against the government, but the
people are showing themselves strangely
apathetic to their appeals. The pres

tariff, it is clear that the Democrats
will attempt to pass q series Of 'popgun'
bills In the new Congress. These may
mot get far, but they will cause much
controversy and disturbance And tax
revision in some form inevitably will
arise to make restless the dreams Of
statesmen in the newly elected House
and Senate. Recurrence of good times
would call for reduction, but continu-
ance Of depression would call for in
creased levieS and would be highly
embarrassing to both houses.
Foreign Relations to Vex Senate.
These and other aspects of domestic
legislation will impose on the new Con-
gress load which will weigh it down
But the domestic legislation is but a
part of the necessary program. The
Senate will have much more to con-
slider. It seems certain that the new
Senate will be forced to settle the con-
troverSy over adherence to the World
Court under the Root formula. This
may lead to months of debate. And
1t Is uncertain today what will come
out of it.
The movement to put teeth into the
Kellogg pact may result in the Senate's
finding itself faced by a new peace

Nominations will lead to the usual
amount of controversy, and perhaps
more than usual, in view of the
strength Of the Democrats and insur-
gents.
Lines Forming for 1892.
When it is recalled that the new
Congress, whether it operates in extra
session next Spring or in the regular
long session beginning year hence
will be under the guns Of the political
forces that are ranging their lines fol
1882, it can be realized what is ahead
for the coming legislative body. II

CLIMATIC fourth plenary session
of the Central Executive Committee of
the Kuomintang is taking place at

It is resolved to carry out the dis
bandment plan adopted at the begin
ming of 1929, which provides for dis
bandment of over 100000 men and
contemplateS maximum national force
of SO divisions of $4,000 men each.
Resolutions also have been adopted
contemplating complete suppression of
the opium traffic by the commencement
of 1884 and abolition of likin through
out China by the end of this year.
The budget and economy program OF
Finance Minister T. v. Soong is ap-

Republican leader of the Senate, has

The progress of events and the re-
suits OF the recent elections have
tended 10 force on the attention of
Congress number of subjects hereto
fore evaded. For instance, there is
prohibition. Members of both houses
realize as they have not realized since
the Volstead act was passed that some
thing Will have to be done about it.
IL looms up as a disconcerting and
grave issue for both parties in the 1882
campaign.
Obviously, the short session of Con-
greSs does not intend to do ANYTHING
important on prohibition if it can hel0
1t. The worries and vexations of the
wet and dry contention will be imposed
on the new Congress
The power question is another which
has been forced to the front by the re-
cent elections. Large gains of strength
by the opponents of the power inter
eSts in some States have greatly en-
couraged those elements in Congress
who believe in Government operation
Or larger measure of Government con-
troll of the water power resources. In
dication OF this is seen in the fact
that strong demand is now arising
for the passage of the Norris bill for
Government operation of Muscle
Shoals.

Character Building Taught Thousands
By Guiding Thoughts in Right Direction

service to the world-he applies reason
to life and character, he teaches the
law of cause and effect, the laws that
underlie all right and wrong actions
and he teaches it in an atmosphere free
from all fear.
Wright also has never made the mis-
take of offering rewards, badges, ranks,
promotions and similar brides for good
conduct. This is the fatal blunder OF
many character-building organizations
that have the best Of motives. A recent
extensive survey of the Institute of Re-
ligious Education directed by DR.. Hugh
Hartshorne of Columbia and DR.. Mark
May of Yale, two very eminent psychol-
ogistS) proved beyond question that chill
dren tend strongly to lie, cheat and steal
in order to obtain these promotions.
The appeal is not to sound character,
but to the desire for approval, to be
important to stand well with others,
which psychologists have shown is, next
to sex instinct, the strongest urge in
human nature. People will often go
in order to satisfy the passion for ap-
prevail.
I could fill this paper with instances
of the results of the Pathfinder philos-
ophy. Here is one man who was so
dangerous no guard dared to go near
him unless he was armed. He had to
wear a ball and chain constantly to re-
strain his freedom lest he might injure
either his guards or fellow workmen.
AS he was passing through the yard he
heard a group of men discussing one of
the Pathfinder lessons on the Price Tags
of Life. He asked for a leaf1et, became
interested and is now superintendent Of
a big shop with 600 men under him.
There was Jimmy Zane, white haired
at % from trying TO burn the candle of
life at both ends. Jimmy had given
himself up for lost-almost the last hope
for any man-and had concluded to
make himself genuinely bad man when
he got out. Jimmy heard there was a
Pathfinder council in the prison and
asked If they were on the level. The
teacher, himself prisoner, assured him
they were. So Jimmy is now head OF a
big auto repair shop in California, with
IS men in his employ.
