PARIS, June 8. - France flatly

Boncour said France was willing to
join in any serious effort to save
the disarmament conference from

prehension of aerial attacks from

"Japan is extremely vulnerable

Yes, I think so. The ia
nous Bishop Bucknell used to
say. there are times when our
highest duty is to refuse to do
good" He meant that, by Civ
ing ourselves to some immediate
service, we often exhaust our
energies which, if wisely con-
served, would enable us in time
to render higher service. I
think this answers this woman's
problem.
Many noble women give their
lives in this way, when a wiser
self interest, wiser both for self
and others, would enable them
through their own increased
happiness and efficiency to
serve more abundantly the ones
they love.
2.-No. When one seeks self
improvement solely for its in
creased money value, he is do
ing precisely what the whole
world was doing for a genera
ton prior to the present eco
nomic crisis, namely, losing sight
of the things that money can
not buy.

To some extent, society recOg-
nizes self culture by giving it
larger earnings, but when the
earnings become the object, self
improvement ceases to be true
culture of the spirit and i'm
provement of the inner self.
These are values that money
cannot measure.
3.-Marraige is founded upon
the most basic urges and in
stincts in human nature-the
urge for companionship, Off
spring, anchorage in home;
the male passion for dominance
and Importance, the female
urge for security for herself and
her children.
All these make marriage the
most natural and permanent of
all mans social institutions. In
fact, it is the basis of nearly all
other institutions, and when it
is abandoned, society itself must
be abandoned. 1t is the wrong
use some people make of it, and
not the institution itself, that
causes such foolish assertions to
be made.
