A Commendable Step.

The decision Of the Government to
eempensate its representatives abroad
for losses suffered through the depre-
eiating dollar in terms of the foreign
curreneies is In just recognition OF a
situation that for some of these repre-
sentatives, must have become unbear-
able. Prom now on their checks will

"A certain Samaritan as he journeyed
came where he was, and when he saw
him he had compassion on him."
These words form q part Of one Of the
most striking parallels that Jesus ever
used and Is commonly called the Para.
bic Of the Good Samaritan" It Is
dramatic recital and was given by the
Master in response to the question
asked Him by the lawyer, What shall
do to inherit eternal hfe?" To this
question Jesus replied: What is writ
ten in the law7 How readest thou?"
And he answering said: Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart. and with all thy soul. and with
all thy strength, and with all thy mind.
and thy neighbor Is thyself.' Jesus
readily recognized the, comprehensive
ness and consistency of the lawyers
answer and said: Thou hast answered
right; this do, and thou shalt live"
To this the lawyer replied: And who
is my neighbour" 1t was In response to
this question that jesus told the story
Of the man who In his pilgrimage fell
among thieves, which stripped him OF
his rairnent and wounded him and left
him dead" Then follow the events
that attended the wayfarer. A Jewish
priest came and saw him, but passed
by on the other side; likewise q Levite
looked on him, but failed to minister
to him. Then there came Samaritan,
one Of despised group, q social outcast,
and when he saw him he had COM
passion on him" He not only minis
tered to his needs, soothed his wounds
and fed him, but he took him on his
own beast to an inn and provided for
him until he was completely restored.
After relating the story Jesus asked
the lawyer: Which now Of these three.
thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him
that fell among the thieves?" The an
swer was immediate: HE that showed
mercy on him" Then said Jesus unto
him: "Go and DO thou likewise.

COMPENSATINC SERVICE
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN D. d. LII. D, D. L.
Bih0p Of Rashinston

Of their own countrymen In his hour of
need, O Samaritan who was quite alien
to him came to his succor. 1t Is not a
difiicult thing to render service to those
who are nearest to us. The compensa..
ton for such service Is evident and
immediate. It Is quite another thing
to recognize our obligations to those
wholly unfamiliar to us, who are beyond
the circle of our friends and associates
Recent years have taught us, we hope,
finer lessons of what constitute neigh
borly kindness In the days OF our ad-
versity we have had presented to US
more definitely the just claims OF those
for whom, apparently, we have no re-
sponsibility. Wherever need exists,
wherever men and women are In want,
1t Is our privilege as well as our duty to
render them aid, to the limit OF our
powers. 1t is no longer possible Tor
us to think of "neighborliness" in terms
of the community in which we live.
To the mind of Jesus, no one was for
eign to His ministry or to the ministry
of those who accepted His teachings.
We have hardly attained to His ideal,
but the pressure Of recent events has
broken down old and insular conceptions
Of Christian practice and compelled US
to recognize more fully the extent OF
our obligations and to give US more
complete understanding Of the privi-
leges c service Nothing Is more salts
flying or compensating than the con-
sciousness that, at the cost Of our con-
venience or by personal sacrifice, we
have helped some one, less fortunate
than ourselves, in the hour OF need. A
kindly act very frequently does more to
interpret Christian faith and practice
than the most voluble profession and
the most devour practice.
That was fine sentence that some
one wrote years ago: II shall pass
through this world but once. Any kind
word that can say, any kind deed that
I can do, let me say and do 1t now. for
I shall not pass this way again" To
be known in q community as the ex.
empIar of the spirit OF the Good
Samaritan Is sufacienr praise for any

Unfortunate Oversight.

When the National Recovery Admin
istration began its huge task Of drafting
civic and business leaders throughout
the Nation in the campaign to push the
re-employment and recovery program,
the District of Columbia was, an article
in The Star explained, overlooked. The
oversight occurred because somebody
had before him list Of the States In
alphabetical order, and the District is
not, of course, q State. So, while local
organizations are being perfected III

day, obtaining their once space and

Fascist Tendency in
The Irish Free State
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, August 5.-With Adolf
Hitler's conquest of Germany. rumblings
of fascism reverberate on this side of
the Rhine and have now reached Ire
land.
President Eamon de Valera opened
an offensive against the National Guard
by revoking all licenses to possess fire.
arms. including those issued to bank
managers, senators and ex-cabinet min
isters Of William Cosgrave's regime. His
decision aroused violent resentment.
Gen. Eoin O'Duffy ex-chief Of the Irish
Free State police and now director of
the National Guard. and his colleagues
| OF the Cosgrave ministry refused to sur
render their revolvers.
The police raided O'Duffy's house
Tuesday night and seized two revolvers,
one q service revolver and the other
the gun which Michael Collins had in
his hand when he was murdered and
which was given to O'Duffy by Collins
sister in remembrance of his first COM
mander -in-chief.
Challenged in the Dali, De Valera
declared the government had decided
not to tolerate any private, armies
parades in uniform or the carrying of
guns in public places. Patrick Hogan,
former minister of agriculture, attacked
De Valera's discrimination in favor of
tilc Aficll ISSpuIllCdu army, WHICH, lie
alleged, was associated with the
Presidents own criminal past and
which had committed murder after
| murder"
The ground Of attack on the National
Guard u that it is Fascist movement
aiming at the establishment of an
armed dictatorship. This Is Indignantly
denied by Gen. ODuffy, who declares
the movement is opposed to q dictator
ship in any form and alleges that the
contrary view is bogey set up to scare
public opinion. The guard, he said,
| was only formed as q means of checking
the menace OF the Irish Republican
Army.
The Manchester Guardian describes
the National Guard as "a genuine in
dieenous Fascist movement called into
existence partly by the property
owners fear of socialistic legislation,
partly by the Roman Catholic Church's
dread of communism, and partly by the
plain and decent mans dislike for the
system of intimidation established by
the Irish Republican Army"
The idea that the object of the move
ment is an armed dictatorship is dis
counted by the choice as leader of Gen.
ODuhy. man of experience and
Cosgrave, who is an eninently con-
servative and cautious statesman.
Hitherto De Valera has exhibited
anxiety in regard to the safety of the
former cabinet ministers and given
them protection and the right to carry
arms In revoking that right it is as
sumed that he has now a much closer
understanding with the Irish Republican
Army and has received satisfactory
guarantees against unauthorized shoot
ings. In the absence of such assurance
he Is plainly running a grave risk in
| taking away the licenses of the ex-min-
listers to carry arms for protection.

Marcel Deaf Leads
Fascism i'm France
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

PARIS. August SIS fascism on the
way in France?
Until now nothing resembling the
Fascist or Na1 movement has been
able to make any headwsy in this
country. A few years ago an effort
was made to form blue-shirt party
1t published a newspaper for a few
months, held meetings and pa--des,
then died Of neglect.
Today, In political circles, fascism Is
the topic on every tongue.
1t began at the recent Socialist con-.
vention. A Socialist Deputy, one OF
those representing the City OF Paris
delivered q speech in which he declared
that whether Marxists liked 1t or not
there Is such q thing as the nation,
and this fact must be reckoned with. "
He added: when theory conflicts
with facts, We must be guided by the
latter" Leon Blum. Socialist leader In
the Chamber, sasped.
This speech terrifies me-" he n1oaned
from the depths Of his Marxist con-
victions.
The Deputy who made the speech
was practically unknown, except in his
own party and his own district. His
name is Marcel Deaf.
People who follow international af-
fairs should make . note OF the name
of Marcel Deaf. He will be heard from
later.
Deaf is u years old, very young even
for q Socialist Deputy. He enlisted
during the war Is . private. Before
the war ended he had been wounded
several times, had received thirteen
citations, the cravat Of commander OF
the Legion of Honor and the grade OF
major in the army.
He does not mention these honors
nowadays. Such things are no recon-
mendation in the Socialist party. He
gives his occupation as school teacher
But Deaf has emerged as the Chief
party which may lead to the formation
of something analogous to faseism.
Oid-fashioned France Is greatly at
tached to the old revolutionary tradi-
ton Of individual liberty. But Deaf
and his. followers feel that with other
countries organising on q modern plan,
bending their united energies to the
task instead Of wasting their strength
in party squabbles France win be left
behind in q few years unless she sub
ordinates, like the others. the individual
to the higher interest Of the state.
When Parliament reconvenes in Octo-
Der it is believed that q certain num-
ber Of Socialists will break away from
rigid party discipline and accept par
ticipation in the government. Among
these may be Marcel Deaf. (The name
Is pronounced "Day-ah." :.
Deaf does not want to head revolu-
tionary movement. He believes that
the French way of achieving an au-
theritative government Is to accomplish
the revolution from within the cab
