Old and New Faith
Blended in Japan

When you understand Japan,
"heathendom" will never have quite
the old significance again. The flu
ture Of Christianity there lies not
above other faiths, but beside them,
lntricately entwined.
When Japan takes on the new, she
never utterly neglects the old; and
just as Christianity made her own
the ineradicable superstitions of
ancient countries, so Buddhism and
Christianity alike incorporate Gus
toms and beliefs held too tenaciously
to be rooted out.
A friend has told me, out Of long
and intimate experience with the Jap
anese, the story of young man Of
noble blood who very early became
a Christian. He married the daugh-
ter Of samurai and she embraced
her husbands faith.
Years followed Of happiness, then
Of deep anxiety and death. Their
eldest child, a beautiful girl not
seven years old, died after devastat-
Ing illness. My friend, bound to the
young couple by bonds Of old and
close affection, went to the house of
death. The stricken father met him
at the door, the smile Of welcome as
ever on his lips. while in silence he
drew back the shot of the inner
room.
There was the mother, kneeling,
and beside her the dead child, white
as the pear blossoms without. In the
child's right hand the mother had
placed her Bible, and across her
breast lay her fathers sword, naked
and shining.
The Word of God was there to
guide her to better world. But
while her spirit CROPPED through NOR
tai confines the rustless blade of the
samurai made everything of evil keep
its terrified distance.-Ellery Sedg-
wick, in the Atlantic Monthly.

that Judith, the Israelite heroine of

Joyous "Festiyal Of breaking bud and

Every nation had its own name and
legend for spring-the resurrection of
life. Each year, when Nature lived
and blossomed anew, the tender beauty
of the flowers stirred the human mind
to wonder and deep speculation. Lit
erature is rich in beautiful legends Of
the flowers, which tradition says first
bloomed in Heaven.
When the evil angels were driven
from Heaven they snatched their arms
full Of flowers and carried them away.
But God would not permit his celestial
blossoms to be taken to Hades, so he
caused the wicked angels to become
tired, and, one by one, they dropped
the flowers over the earth before they
reached their destination. Another old
legend which accounts for the begin
ming of the flowers states that Venus
sprinkled nectar into the blood of the
wounded Adonis and flowers sprang
up. The word flower itself comes

Ogden Mills, secretary designate
of the treasury, described it as
technically a measure to arrest de-
fiation.
The project is contained in the
Glass measure. It was advanced
publicly Wednesday after a morning
Of conferences with senate and
house leaders at the White House.
Chairman Steagal Of the house
banking and currency committee,
said the bill would be introduced in
the house this afternoon.
Would Broaden Scope
In substance, according to high
administration authorities, it's eff
feet would be to broaden present
regulations so banks could redis-
count with the federal reserve sys-
tenn. That would, the administra-
ton holds, permit bankers to broad
en- the scope of securities they could
accept.
The bankers we're first to sense
the purpose and possible effects of
the new project. Today in Wall
Street, business showed its effects.
Stocks rallied and the market was
brisk. There were new signs of
optimism.
The non-flnancial man found the
project more difficult to under
stand, The United Press sought out
high authorities in the adninistra-
ton and obtained from them an
authoritative Interpretation of what
sponsors of the project expect of it.
May Not Issue Currency
The chief emphasis was placed on
the provisions widening the scope of
securities which can be rediscounted
with the federal reserve system. The
other main provision permits issu-
ance of new currency. High sources
said actually little new currency
would be issued. In fact one of the
highest authorities said probably
there would be no new currency is
sue at all.
At present, banks rediscount with
the federal reserve system only
commercial paper and agricultural
loans They can take short term
notes, issued to secure payment for
goods purchased, and similar credits
used in the transaction of mercan-
tile and industrial business, or notes
with farmers crops as security, to
federal reserve banks and borrow
money on them.
Help for Business Seen
The measure, some administra-
ton spokesman believed, would do
even more for the small business
man than for the So-called giants
of industry"-the railroads, the big
industrial projects and the great
banks of the country.
Its effect will be the greatest
and of the most permanent value"
one financial man in the govern
ment said, when it has been tried
a little.
After the banker finds he can
get money at the reserve bank he
will be glad to loan to his customer.
And when the customer finds that
out, he will spread the word and our
lazy money will start back to
work"

BALTIMORE, Feb. 11-Gov-

the Democratic presidential nom

armed forces of the United States

Richie enunciated his national
defense views in nationwide
broadcast on the occasion of the

celebration here today.
Americas forces" he said, ARE
at present almost exactly the size
and type recommended by Wash
ington in 1888. Washington, he
said, called for "a small regular
army to perform necessary contin-
uing duties in time of peace, rein
forced by an organized militia or
Citizen army"
This, said Ritchie, Is what we
have today, and it should not be di-
minished. The navy, he said,
should be adequate to protect
American lives and commerce.
Surely our army" he said, "is at
an irreducible minimum. What we
need, and all we need, is a force on
land and force on sea and force
in the air adequate for our ma
tional protection and defense"

Wallace was understood, just be-
