"IN THE WORLD"
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES Z. FREEMAN, D. D., LII. D,
- Z Bishop of Washington.

Christian life in the midst OF the
worlds activities and occupations. He
further expected them to bring their
Christian idealism to bear upon those
things that make for pleasure and
recreation. He, Himself, by His own
presence enriched the marriage feast
at Cana of Galilee. That our religious
beliefs must find expression in acts OF
devotion and in the recognition OF
self-discipline and self-control Is clear
ly obvious, but to restrict the area OF
our action in the expression Of our
religious convictions to certain hal
lowed places is to do violence TO the
teachings of the Master, Himself. II
this world is ever to be made better,
happier and a more decent place in
which to live, 1t will be because the
believers in Jesus method of life prac-
tice their Christian convictions in
every field of their occupation. Our
youth in particular are made to think
that Is limited in its sphere Of infiu-
ence. They may take their religion
seriously and reverently within the
sacred confines of the church and
think themselves consistent where they
ignore its obligations in the world
through which they move. Either our
Christian belief has to do with the
whole Of life, in its every part, or 1t Is
untrue to the ideals of Him whom we
profess to serve. AS matter of fact,
there is more need today than ever be-
fore of bringing our Christian faith
and practice to bear upon every near
and remote human problem. We need
not be afraid of the world If we are
the right sort of Christians. We have
our part to contribute, and contribute
it we must, to the lettering OF the
world in which we live. When We can
make those with whom we have fell
lcwship realize that the Christian
scheme of life is designed to enrich
and ennoble every condition of being,
we shall do more to set forward the
high claims of Christ than by our
n q hits of YrolId isolation

Nitrate Co. Of Chile with other nitrate
interests was formed under the gen.
eral name of "Cosach," which turned
out to be the greatest single corporate
unit ever formed in Latin America. 1t
included the So-called Guggenheim
interests of the United States, these
interests taking with them the Gug-
genheim process which is today the
basis of the nitrate industry in Chile.

Nitrates, like so many other world
commodities. are "oVerproduced," and
nine countries of the world are now
discussing in Paris the renewal of
temporary agreement, made last year
and expiring on June 80 OF this year,
to apportion quotas. Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Germany. Holland,
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Italy and Nor
way, which agreed last year to limit
their production to 10 per cent OF the
preceding years output, now ind 1t
necessary to adopt a new level, per-
haps as low as SO per cent, because
of lessened consumption. While the
Europeans, who are more interested in
synthetic than in natural nitrates, are
not favorable to an agreement with
Chilean interests, the latter believe
that, when the Europeans have agreed
among themselves. a world understand
ing will be possible. Such an agree
ment is particularly desirable just
now, because of the world business de-
preston.

While the European group does not
sell in the United States, ncr does the
world accord which is contemplated
apply to the American market directly,
nevertheless the output, freedom OF
movement and price Of natural and
synthetic nitrates are of considerable
Importance to the American farmer.
In this connection it is pertinent TO
note that the Farm Board on June
announced that the amount of fer
tilizer being used in the United States
this year, particularly on cotton crops.
has been sharply reduced and that the
effect of this reduction is noticeable In
the crops themselves.

rs religion o part of life. or the
whole of it?" This Is the question
asked by a modern writer. He is evi-
IDENTIFY seeking to discover what area
of like is the logical field OF Christian
faith. To answer such question one
Is compelled to make further inquiry,
Did Jesus conceive of HIS ministry
as solely related to given field OF
thought and practice?" or again, Did
the scheme OF life which he submitted
have to do solely with some remote
and unknown future, some far-off
divine event?" We are disposed to
think that the average student Of the
life and teachings of Jesus thinks OF
Him and His whole philosophy of life
as related to some restricted sphere OF
thought and practice. 1t is not OF
the world even though 1t may be in
the world.
There have been those in other ages
who felt that the only way to live q
truly Christian life was to separate
themselves from all worldly contacts.
and in some restricted area pursue a
course and habit of life that found
its chief occupation In prayer and
self imposed discipline. Simeon Stylites
on his column evidently conceived OF
a constant practice Of his religion in
terms of isolation and the cultivation
of his own spiritual nature. Is this
in consonanee with the mind OF Jesus2
Did he expect His followers to detach
themselves from human interests? We
do not believe He did. In His great
prayer. on the eve Of His crucifixion
He recognized that His disciples were
in the world. His one prayer was tnat
thew might be kept from its evil.
There is great danger in dividing life
into sacred and secular. There Is
every reason to believe that the great
Master expected His followers to bear
their large part in world affairs. In

The far islands of the world. cut off
from mainland civilization, in most
cases by league upon league of sea, are
getting good deal of their adventure
Vicariously these days through the
medium Of motion pictures, largely of
american production. Once these
islands, nearly all of historic or TO-
mantle interest, were looked 70 as

mild contentment of onlookers.
The Isles of Greece from time i'm
memorial have held an aura of classic
romance. 1t has been a long time since
Ulysses was around and steam naviga-
tion has wrested some of Poseidon's
authority from him, so less romance
seems to come out of these islands than
goes in by means of the silver screen.
A difficulty arises in some cases in
that the standard of literacy and of APP
probation seems to be something lower
than it was in classic days. and lack of
ability to read or even recognize the
actions of many motion picture charac-
tiers is handicap. Ancient Corfu
largest island of the Ionian Sea, over
which Amphtrite sailed in pearl shell,
takes its adventure these days through
the medium of two Winter movie
houses and three open-air theaters for
Summer use. Zania has but enc the
alter. and Cephalonia two. That there
is some veStige of the sort of interest
which stimulated Greek drama of
classic times remaining is indicated by
preference in the Isles of Greece for
highly emotional dramas, romances and
scandals But the Greek censorship
bears down heavily on immoral or rev.
dictionary pictures.
On the famed Island of Crete there
are nine picture houses and Chios has
one but on Rhodes. where once stooc

OF the World, business is too small to
support one.
Cyprus no longer is Greek, but part
of the British Empire. and there are
theaters at Nicosia, Larnaca, Limasol,
Paphos and Amiandos. Malta, that
stronghold of the Crusaders, whose
Dark Age battlementS still bask in the

The Napoleon Cinema.
One of the most famous islands in the
world is St Helena, where Napoleon
was imprisoned after Waterloo until
his death, but there are no movies
there. AS there are only 10 white peo-
pie on the island and the average week

$3.50 a week, American or other pro-
ducers are not interested. Neither has

Move to Organize the
World Nitrate Trade
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

The nitrate business, in which the
American farmer has an annual in
terest of more than S20.000000 is
being organized en- a world basis by
a series of negotiations now going on
/. in Paris.
Nitrates form the chief basis of
commercial fertilizer, with bone phos-
pilates and potash next in Importance.
This takes no account of their use as
explosives in war time.
Chile produces about SO per cent
of the natural nitrates of the world
100000 metric tons in 1920 and
3,250,000 in 1929. Last year in July
the Tooth anniversary of the first ship
ment of nitrateS from Chile was cele-
that period being more than l00,00O,000
tons.
The worlds production of nitrogen
is from six to seven million tons
year, by far the greater portion being
from natural nitrates. The rest is lit
orally taken from the air. 1t is fixed
nitrogen. In this method of produc-
ton Europe dominates the situation.
The nitrogen cartel" in Europe,
dominated very largely by the associa-
ton of British companies on the one
hand and by German interests on the
other, controls more than 80 per cent
of the output of the world supply of
fixed nitrogen. The Chilean associa-
ton. "Cosach' Gin which the govern
ment has so per cent INTEREST,", pro-
duces more thon 95 per cent of the
natural nitrogen. An agreement be-
tween these two combined, therefore
would control the world supply. Prices
might be stabilized, but could not well
be bettered.
For many years the United States
has been importing nitrogen for its
fertilizers largely from Chile, which
has a monopoly of natural nitrate.
Our importations during recent years
have run as high as $50,000,00O an
nually. Last year they were some $780,
100000 in value.
1t will be remembered that after the
war the Government established in
Washington, in the Bureau of Chem
istry and Soils, as an adjunct to the
Department of Agriculture. FIXED
Nitrogen Laboratory" Experts trained
in this laboratory have since gone out
and made possible the establishment
of eight or nine others. The time
probably is not far distant when the
United States will be Self-suhcient in
the production of fixed nitrogen and

oratories-to say nothing of the service
in time of war-should it come.
X X
Up to 1928 the worlds production of
fixed nitrogen was Immediately alb
sorbed by consuming industries. Ac-
cording to the Chemical Division of
the Department of Commerce, since
then this production has "outdistanced
the rate of consumption by a wide
margin and piled up stocks of I'M
precedented magnitude" with expan-
sion greatest in France and North
| America.
In 1929-30 the world consumption
of nitrogen probably was some two
million tons. Overproduction in agrt-
| culture, in common with industry, has
lessened the demand.

A Momentous Week End.

England, classic land of week ends
has seldom in our time been the scene
of q more momentous Saturday-to-
Monday than that now taking its
course amid the secluded environs OF
Chequers, Prime Minister MacDonald's
raeli country Chancellor Bruening and
Foreign Minister Curtius of Germany
have arrived there for consultation with
Mr. Macdonald and British Foreign
nomic and political plight of the Reich
Even more than the ridoIe of Russia
Germany at this hour is Enthusiastically
Europe's paramount problem. On the
ways and means under discussion al
Chequers for its amelioration, If MOI
solution, issues of immediate importance
for the Old World directly depend.
In a statement to the British press al
London, Herr Bruening tersely outlined
Germany's difficulties. The Young plan
the chancellor explained, cut tbs
Reich's reparation obligations by about
$l68,000 900. It was expected that thii
would suffice to permit the government
to reduce taxes. Instead it has beer
compelled to raise them and to lowel
government expenditure during the pas
fourteen months by some $500 600 900
To these unexpected fiscal burdens, &C
cording TO DR.. Bruening, has been add
ed the immeasurable political unres
due to the rise of Hitlerism and Com
nsunism, and even to mounting discon.
tent among the democratic partie:
which are the governments main sup.
port.
Between the lines of the chancellor's
statement is plainly to be read an In
timation that, unless Germany car
achieve relief, consequences far more
dire than any already experienced will
be unavoidable. Just what the Ger
mans at Chequers have it in their
heads to suggest to their British hosts
In the way of remedial measures car
only be guessed. What the Reich
wants Is less of a secret. It demands
apparently at the price OF either col.
lapse or reputation of the Young
plan, another revision downward o.
the reparations settlement. Capacity
to pay is the essence of the plan. II
contemplates moratorium which
Germany would be entitled to ask. Un-
less grace in some form is extended
Mesers. Bruening and Curtius mani
festly mean Great Britain, and through
her, the world, to be prepared for the
worst. Unless European craftsmanship
is bankrupt, 1t will have to find a way
out of a situation palpably bristling
with far-reaching perils.
Germany since the treaty of Versailles
has given a satisfactory account OF
itself, with respect to the heavy obi
cations which the conquerors imposed
upon the vanquished. She has done sc
sullenly. Human nature being what il
is. nothing else was to be expected
But. twelve years after Versailles, il
may occur to the allied and associated
powers that inflicted so condign pun
ishment upon her that in their own
selfish interest-to put it on no higher
ground-the time has come to grant
her a communication at least of the
economic phase of her heavy sentence
What Bruening and Curtius are
saying at Chequers this critical week
end can probably be boiled down into
that ancient aphorism which reminds
us that an ounce of prevention is bet
ter than q pound of cure.

WASHINGTON-A quiet, studi- ous young man who looks more like a movie star than a diplomat is the American Governments eyes in Manchuria during the Sino-Jap- ansse quarrel.
 Laurence Eustis Salisbury, second secretary in the American Embassy at Tokyo, was ordered into Man churia immediately by the State Department when trouble devel- oped. With George Hanson from Harbin he was instructed to visit the troubled area and keep Wash ington informed
 Salisbury knows the Far East. The year he was graduated from the University of Chicago with a bachelor of philosophy degree he elected to go to the Orient. For a year he taught English in Japan.
 A specialist on Japanese affairs he is said by his superiors at the department to be one of the most promising young diplomats in the foreign service. His record thus far has been brilliant. Tn fewer than II years he has climbed from the obscure post of student inter preter to second secretary.
