to visit Rev Whitehead Monday of
this week. He was happy to see us and
said that he had been wishing that we
would come to him. He talked freely
of his conversion siXty-nine years ago
In his conversation he said that he was
not worried, he was not uneasy; he
was ready and willing at anytime to go.
He did not have to make preparation
for heaven, that had been done years
ago and he lived a Christian life He
stated that there were four things that
would make him lose confidence in any
minister, namely; one who lied, one
who steals, one who drinks whiskey
and one who makes himself too famil-
lar with the opposite sex When this
tatement was made by this father in
the ministry; this tall tree in the forest,
l said to myself, that such statement
ought to be passed down to the minis
tiers Of all denominations of this day
and time.
OFFER PRAYER
Before leaving the home of this hon
GRABBED veteran, my father asked that
we bow in prayer and after fervent
prayer was offered by him and we
were about to get off our knees, Bro.
Whitehead asked that we bow again
and he said Roy, I want you to pray
now" Another prayer was offered at
ter which, my father sang Am l
Soldier Of the Cross. During these
prayers and this song, it appeared as
if Brother Whitehead was happy as
he could be, and at the close of this
short service he said,' Ifeel better

NOT SUFFERING
In our conversation with Dr.. White
head, he had us to understand that he
was not suffering for anything. He had
a plenty to eat, clothes to wear, good
home and a comfortable bed with
host Of friends, who could not be num-
bered-among white and colored. DR..
Whitehead said that God had promised
to take care of him. 1t causes me to
wonder why is it that there are SO
many people who are much younger
than Brother Whitehead; people who
had better opportunities than Borther
Whitehead, l say it causes me to Won
der WHY is it that there are so many
people who are much younger than
Brother Whitehead people who had
better opportunities than Brother White
head. l say it sause me to wonder and
the wonder is this: Why is it that there
are so many people to-day without
food, without clothing and without
place of shelter, and yet, they profess
to be true followers of God. Sin must

The Secretary said the issues would
comprise two series and will bear much
higher interest than has been paid by
the Treasury in the last year. One
issue will be for five months and bear
interest at the rate of per cent year,
while the second will be for nine months

ASSEMBLY FACING
BUSY THREE WEEKS
All Major Issues Remain to
Be Settled Owing to Bank
Crisis in Maryland.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
staff Correspondent OF The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 11.-With
only three weeks of the current session
remaining, all of the major issues be-
fore the General Assembly remain to be
settled. Only two weeks remain for the
introduction Of bills.
Although they have returned to rou-
tine procedure within the past few days,
for more than 10 days the members OF
the House and Senate devoted their time
almost exclusively to bank legislation.
Few realize to what extent this has
delayed their legislative program. Prior
to the bank holiday they were far ahead
of the usual schedule in considering the
biennial budget-now they are behind.
In 1881 the budget was reported on
the floor of the Senate on March l0.
Today It is still in the Finance Com
nittee. Unless other banking develop
ments engross their attention, Senate
leaders expect, however. to have the
budget reported some time next week.
Other important measures which
might have been passed by this time
had the legislators been permitted to
follow their usual course without bank
ing interruption, include the admins
tration road bill, now facing new fight
in the Senate; the administration
s2,000000 construction loan bill, and
group of bills that will determine the
States policy on the liquor question.
OF minor importance in comparison
with the economic issues, but of vital
interest to Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, are the pending local
bills to liberalize the blue laws in the
two counties and permit Sunday movies.
The fate of these measures is still prob
lematical.
Montgomery and Prince Georges rep
resentatives have been energetic con-
tributors to the legislative mill and now
have 60 bills pending in the House and
16 in the Senate. While there are sew
eral important bills affecting the two
counties yet to be presented, the major
portion OF their legislative programs Is
incorporated in pending bills.

outspoken personal opinions on Japa-

Secretary of the Navy Swanson's an

would be retained in the Pacific.
Il realize the United States has the

American relations deplore the de-
cision." said Mr.. Matsuoka. THE action
is liable to add fuel to the already bad
resentment in Japan against the United
States. But the Japanese are q gentle
Throughout Mr.. Matsuoka emphasized
he was speaking as Japanese citizen
rather than as diplomat
He categorically denied he had been
engaged in diplomatic activities since he
left Geneva. While not formally re-
lieved as the chief Japanese delegate
his League Of Nations mission Is fin
ished, except for making a report to
the Emperor and the Toxic govern

Mr.. Matsuoka commented on the
present American economic crisis. say
ing: 1T Is largely psychological rather
than material and believe there will
be quick recovery"
Because I am Japanese can
sympathize deeply with the Californian
earthquake sufferers" he said.
Mr.. Matsuoka has received scores of
requests to deliver lectures and ad-
dresses in the United States. but de-
cllned all except an invitation to ap-
pear at the University OF Oregon, where
he studied.
Despite present world nervousness
on a sound basis of mutual trust" he
said. There is no cause for trouble. Z"
Mr. Matsuoka plans to leave England
March II, will arrive in New York
March %, and is scheduled to sail from
San Francisco April 13.
He asserted that most Of the troubles
in the Far East "are traceable to the
termination of the Anglo-Japanese al
lance, the greatest stabilizing force in
the Far East" He did not think the
alliance could be formed again, but
said something must be found to I'LL
the gap caused by its termination"
The Japanese diplomat was the OBJ
