There are stories going around that
the American Liberty League has re-

but league sources say privately they
are getting 1000 letters a day, and
have accumulated considerable cash.
However, that is one thing they do
not have to worry about.

The British were really deeply (and
not just automatically offended by
the way the name of the King was
dragged before the Senate Munitions
Committee, merely on the absurd
alibi of an American munitions sales
man as to why he could not do any
business. The British regard their
King as a symbol of the empire. in
much the same spirit as we regard
our flag. They do not understand
that American statesmen sometimes
concoct weird excuses for their bosses.

It am advised that the period of con-
struction should not require such a
length Of time. I am further ad-
vised that even with the plans in
their present incomplete stage the
preparation of plans and specifica-
tons sufficient to begin construction
should not require more than q few
months
Lieut.. Robert E. York Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, informed Col.

culated the plans would be ready in

that up" said Col. Sultan.
The Engineer Commissioner said
three shifts of workmen could be en-
ployed to hasten construction Of the
plant once funds are granted and
plans completed
Secretary Ickes made definite
issue over the matter in his statement:

posed agreement until / receive as
surances from the Commissioners of

leave the curb against the red light
to press out into the street to await
the first chance for crossing ct the
turn of the light. This Is bad prac-
tice, dangerous and conducive to
blockade of the traffic now. But 1t Is
due to the pedestrians fear that in
adequate time will be given on the
green hight to make the crossing. In
some cities, leaving the curb on the
red light is punishable offense. but
such rules are almost impracticable
of enforcement, for, after all, the
streets are not primarily for vehicular
use, but are for the use of both those
afoot and those awheel, and the con-
ditions under the present system Of
regulation in this city are an induce
ment to the pedestrians to enter the
driving space despite the prohibitive
signal in order to lessen the risk Of
accident in the course of crossing.
While it may be said that most
drivers are highly considerate Of the
rights of pedestrians. great many
others regard the person afoot as an
impeachment to progress and take full
advantage Of all signals to make the
crossings speedily without regard for
distractions.
There should be some adjustment
Of the trafic rules to permit safe ac-
cess to street car loading platforms
and zones at other points than the
ends of blocks. There should also be
a stiffening Of penalties for drivers
who turn corners at speed whether
turning to the right or to the left.
regardless of conditions. The fact
that the person afoot is helpless
while the person awheel is immune
to injury places the burden of re-
sponsibility upon the driver rather
than upon the walker.

Local Work for Local Men.

The Board of Trades fear that
contracts for construction work in
connection with the $4,000, 900 sewage
disposal plant may go to out-of-town
concerns. while local firms, which
contribute in taxes to the funds with
which the plant is to be built, will
not profit by the opportunity, is well
understood. School building and other
municipal construction work In the
past few years has been lost to local
contractors, underbid by firms employ
ing cheap labor. While the system of
allocating contracts to the low bidder
is perfectly sound, it has resulted in
loss of labor opportunities to local
taxpayers, unable to compete with i'm
ported, cheap labor from other States.
The "kick-back" racket has been
associated with out-of-town con-
tractors, employing and exploiting
cheap labor.
In connection with the sewage
project, local labor is to some extent
protected by the provision that local
labor must be employed on the work.
Section E of bulletin No. 2 of the
Public Works Administration provides
that:
Employers may use organized or
unorganized labor. UnorganiZed labor
shall be obtained from local employ
ment agencies designated by the
United States Employment Service,
while organized labor must be sought
in the first instance from union locals.
Commissioner Gotwals, according to
an interview in The Star, roughly
estimates that of the $500, 900 avail
able for the work about $5,00o,000
will go for buildings. about $1.50o, 900
for machinery and the remaining
$4,000, 900 for road building and land
scaping. Probably no estimate is pos
sible as to the division between cost
of materials and labor. But Maj.
Gotwals believes all the machinery
and some of the material will be
bought outside of Washington, not
being manufactured here.
The competitive bidding system will,
Of course, be used in awarding con-
tracts. There are many local con-
tractors adequately equipped and
stated to handle the job. With the
matter Of wages definitely established
and the Commissioners firmly resolved
to end for all time the outrageous
evasions Of wage scales through the
underhanded kick back" it is to be
hoped that local contractors can COM
pete fairly with those, at the outset,
who submit bids. Seventy per cent of
the cost of the sewer project comes
from "ear-marked" local tax revenues.
Local citizens have the right to expect
the benefits of work thus provided.

Cricket Diverts England
From Political Issues
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, July What mighty
contests arise from trivial things" Is
an axiom that might be appropriately
applied to England today. If the vis-
itor to this country. anxious to know
what subject was uppermost in the
public mind, listened to discussion in
the street, the busses. the tubes and
the ale resorts. he would make q sur
prising discovery.
What he would hear about on all
hands would be the "test matches"
and the name that would sound in his
ears increasingly would be that Of
"Larwood." Around that name CEN
tiers q controversy Of intense bitter
ness.
It is dificult for any people not
familiar with England and Australia
to understand the passionate absorp-
ton of both countries In the game Of
cricket. Voltaire complained long ago
that the English had forty religions
but only one sauce. If he could re-
visit US today he would relish many
sauces, but he might be excused for
thinking that he had only one re-
ngion and that its name was cricket.
And the chief ceremonial Of that
religion is the test match tourney be-
tween England and Australia. For
over half a century this tourney has
been In progress now In Australia,
now IN England, with an interval Of
two years between each encounter.
This Summer the Australians are In
England to NAV the customary five
test matches. filling up the intervals

If there were any doubt that Mr..

which Lord Snowden has just made

ing but Kentucky thoroughbreds.
Blooded Herefords are ridden herd on
by cowboys with Kentucky thorough
tion-together with the idea that
neither cattle nor horses are indigo
nous to the islands-which makes the
Parker ranch without question the
most extraordinary cattle ranch in
the world.
The island market Is Suficient to
absorb the beef cattle. No market Is
sought outside. But the ranch does
export considerable numbers of colts
from its paddocks to be trained for
the race track, the hunting field and
the polo ground.
But these are not the only curious
facts concerning this unique cattle
ranch. The islands were never no
table for the quality OF their forage
grasses, so something had to be done
about that. The Department Of Ag-
riculture was called into consultation
and. ultimately, experts were sent
around the world looking for proper
feed.
Little Kingdom In Itself.
The half million acres Of the ranch
lie upon the slopes of the island
mountains. From sea level, the ranch
property graduates upward to rela-
lively high attitudes. This means
that there Is range Of temperature,
of incidence of rainfall, ana therefore
OF growing conditions. The world has
been combed for the proper grasses
for each level.
There Is one level which almost
duplicates the natural conditions of
the Kentucky bluegrass region and,
naturally, Kentucky bluegrass has
been planted there. Both Herefords
and horses feed upon it. Rhodes
grass from South Africa was found
adapted to another level and special
grasses from Yorkshire. Paspalum
grass from Australia was found to
thrive still elsewhere. So it Is that
the live stock on the ranch have a
diet Of courses. As the growing sea
son advances they move from one
level to another. A result Of this sys-
TEN Is that there never Is lack Of
feed. Instead Of clipping thin growth,
the herds usually browse in grass
knee-deep.
The ranch is q little kingdom in
itself. About $50 hands are required
to tend the herds. They are nearly
all Hawaiians and most Of them were
born on the ranch. A sort Of profit
sharing arrangement exists. Houses
are built for the workers and the en-
tire conduct of the place is along
model lines. There Is much work to
be done on such a property and 1t Is
found that from generation TO gener-
alton a son follows the particular
branch Of work which his father per-
formed.
This purebred beef feeds the popu-
lation of the islands. The production
is nicely adjusted to the demand.
About ITS steers are sent to market
q week. Because of the identical
purebred breeding, the animals are as
alike as peas in a pod. A carcass can
be depended upon regularly to dress
the same $50 pounds.
Although lacking a long. traditional
background, their ancestors having
never beheld either horse or COW, the
Polynesians make excellent cowboys.
They ride with the same dash that
they ride their surfboards through
the combers to the beach at Waikiki.
President Roosevelt will have to make
his own investigation to determine
whether they sing cowboy songs to
ukulele accomplishments.

THE CHURCH In A NEW AGE
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D. D. D. D. L..
Bishop Of Warrington

tutions not only lowers the lofty
principles and ideals for which 1t
stands, but 1t serves to raise doubts
and misgivings In the minds Of dis
eliminating men and women, yes, and
of the youth-concerning the church's
real function as q regenerative power
in human society. That the church
occupies supremely important place
in the economy Of our life is too
obvious q fact to be ignored. Its chief
function is to purvey to men those
eternal truths, principles of living,
that were given to the world by its
supreme Master and teacher. Where
1t departs from this wholesome prac-
tice, where it ceases to be a renewing,
refreshing and regeneratiye agency 1t
loses the confidence and respect Of
the multitude. Where its pulpit is
made political rostrum, or where 1t
Is used for the discussion Of economic
OF other themes that have to do with
passing and ephemeral events, 1t leaves
the hearer unsatisfied and unre-
freshed. All too frequently 1t Is found
that "The hungry sheep look up and
are not fed" In contrast I recall the
incident Of an intellectual layman
who telephoned his minister at the
close Of q morning service and said
to him: your service and sermon
this morning were 50 refreshing and
stimulating that feel as II ! had had
spiritual bath" ! believe his OBJ
servation is the reflection Of many an
honest layman.
The average person feels the need
Of the kind Of refreshment the church
has to give. He does not 60 to 1t
for a concert or an exhibition OF that
which he witnesses In halls of sec
ular entertainment. He goes to it
seeking renewal and a reafiirmation
of spiritual ideals II the church fails
him in these things, he Is disappointed
and disillusioned. Jesus said: "Ye
will not come unto Me that We might
have life" The church as the exem-
plar Of His truth must, II 1t Is con-
sistent with His ideals, furnish to
tired and distracted men and women
the way Of life. The popularity of the
church's message has not waned and
where 1t Is characterized by an in
telligent and burning zeal, and where
it touches the intimate and essential
things of hfe, it meets q glad and
ready response.
Evening star., 1934-07-08

The church as an institution is
Enthusiastically conservative. It
does not readily yield to the new ideas
that issue from the changed and
changing conditions In its place of
occupation. In one sense this Is most
fortunate as 1t gives assurance to
those who find themselves distracted
and confused by the concepts and
ideals Of q new age. The very sta
bility of the church counts for more
under such conditions. On the other
hand, very proper question Is raised
at such a time as the present con-
corning many of the activities and
methods that have long characterized
the churchs practice. Obviously, the
essential truth for which the church
stands Is not variable and the supreme
same yesterday, today and forever"
The truth which the church teaches
can hardly yield to the whims and
caprices Of q fickle age. Notwith-
standing this fact 1t Is conceivable
that. finer and better interpretations
of old truths may find q more recep-
tive and responsive hearing as new
light Is thrown upon them and q
better understanding given to them.
One thing has been made more evi-
dent In these recent years, namely,
that any attempt on the part of the
church to attract Thoughtful men and
women by employing devices that are
alien to the church's dignifed prac-
tice proves utterly futile. This is par
ticularly true when the church in
dulges In devices that more properly
belong to secular agencies and places
Of amusement. During more recent
years the church has, at no incon-
siderable expense, set up institutions
and mechanisms designed to attract
attention and interest. particularly Of
the youth. and 1t would be difiicult
to prove that these new instrumental
tiles have added to the church's
strength. I recall when these new
methods were first indulged in, that
a keen observer and critic of this
method said: II venture the predic-
ton that these costly experiments In
which the church Is now engaged, in
stead Of proving doors Of access to
the church will ultimately prove to
be avenues Of exit from the church. {"
