Golf Players
Ans W er
Minister'S
Attack

The game of golf, and those who
participate in it were given a raking
over by a local minister last week
Accusations that were not only un-
appropriate for the occasion, but were
basicly false and without foundation,
were charged by him in an attempt to
make a few sentimentalists "Amen in
chorus"
While we do not feel that we should
keep alive any contentionousness, at
tached no matter how remotely to
our good friend, Jim McRae, who was
as free from arguing and quibbling as
any one who ever trod the green
earth, however we do not feel that we
should allow to go unchallenged state
ments made questioning his life and
ours. The statemets, in fact were so
loosely made and showed such lack of
forethought they should not even
warrant an answer.
The game of golf, or those who
participate in it, need no defense here.
1t is a known fact that it contributes
to the upbuilding of our human
mechanism because in its very ma
ture it puts those who play; in the
meadows where they may stamp up
hill and down dale, and inhale the
freshened air of the country side
While bringing its participants into
contact with these body builders, il
also gives spiritual nourishment to
the mind and soul that is carried into
ones every day life. 1t teaches sports.

cidents of His incompatible life has so
focused the vision of mankind as His
strange death upon Calvary's cross.
1t is historically true that no incident
of like character has so affected the
thought and the philosophy of men as
that to which We freshly direct our at
tention this Holy week Volumes have
been written attempting to explain the
meaning of the cross and the purpose
of the ministry Of Him who hung
thereon, but the interest of men the
world over in this tragic happening is
unabated and grows in intensity with
the passing years. The noble teaching
of the Master renders His crucifixion
irresistibly logical. Who would venture
to say what this example of heroic suf-
fering has meant to the world through
19 centuries of time? No matter how
We may interpret it, it has a bearing
upon our life beyond our powers to ex-
plain. 1t has been the inspiration of
more courage and fortitude in the face
of stern, difficult and critical situations
than any other incident known to man
Confronted again by its deep and subtle
meaning, shall we not believe that in
the worlds present critical situation
it has peculiar and unique signifi-
canoe? As We face today our latest

wide interest. The ministerial crisis
would certainly take on such an aspect
if it led to the resignation from the
government, which Is perdstently re-
ported to be imminent, of the aged
finance minister, Korekiyo Takahashi
He has had to assume responsibility for
the unprecedently burdensome army
and navy budget, largest in Japanese
history, necessitated by the Manchurian
adventure of the past year and a half.
Week end dispatches from Toxic
bring news of bitter discord within. the
cabinet headed by Premier Viscount
Admiral Makoto Saito. The cabinet
has lost strength steadily since It in
troduced the swollen military and naval
budget. Although unpopular with the
country the Diet felt compelled to ap-
prove the governments proposals. Last
week Minister Of Justice Koyama at
tempted to resign from the cabinet
because of revelations that certain
subordinate judiciary officials had be-
come implicated in Communist activi-
ties. Premier Saito thereupon resorted
to the unprecedented recourse of putting
pressure on the Emperor to reject the
attempted resignation of the minister
OF justice. Even when that ofacfal
personally submitted his withdrawal at
the imperial palace his appeal was re-
fused.
Premier Saito's colleagues in the GOV
eminent are divided as to the propriety
of his action, which has no parallel in
the history of Japan. He is accused by
political foes of abusing the imperial
prerogative to protect his tottering cab
met. Although the present regime at
Toxic is dominated by the Seiyukai
party, the Minseito opposition Is rep
resented in it because 1t sees no chance
for its own party to come into power
in the event of change. In any case,
leaders In both parties look upon the
situation now arisen as undoubtedly
grave.
Foreign interest in such developments
within Japan is concerned only with
their possible effect on Japanese inter-
policy, particularly in the Far
East itself. That policy for the past
two years has been under the lash and
spur Of the ndlitarists. 1t is they who
have impelled Japan to ride roughshod
over China In Manchuria, ignore pacts,
treaties and covenants, fout the League
Of Nations and generally defy the out
side world.
If the cabinet rumblings now emanat-
ing from Toxic should prove to be the
foreEunner Of new deal, which would
manifest itself in a less imperialistic
attitude toward China, Europe and
America would welcome it as a sign
that Japan had decided to realign itself
with world craving ordered peace and
continued respect for peace-preserving
