Gasoline must be knockless because
when a motor knocks it loses power.
BLUE SUNOCO'S highknockless power
is achieved by refining skill alone and
not by the addition of outside chemi-
Gals. 1t is the ideal fuel for modern

AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Rev. James X. Galley, Minister,
Announces Services for the View
A scene for all the ages of time
and all the cycles of eternity is the
picture of the cross with Jesus at
the one end of it and Simon at the
other, suggesting the idea to every
troubled soul that no one need
carry whole cross. You have
only half a cross to carry. If you
are in poverty, Jesus was poor;
and He comes to take the other
end of the cross. If you are in
persecution, Jesus was prosecuted
too. If you are in any kind of
trouble, you have sympathizing
Redeemer. Let this be lesson to
each of us. If you find man in
persecution or in sickness, or in
trouble of any kind, go up to him
and say, my brother, have come
to help you. You take hold of one
end of this cross and I will take
hold of the other. Jesus Christ
will come in and take hold of the
cross with US, and after a while
there will be no cross at all"
Christ will not only share our
burdens, but He will relieve us of
them entirely, if we but depend
completely on Him, and trust Him
with a Faith that cannot be de-
feated! Instead of our Prayer
Meeting on Wednesday night we
will have our quarterly Prepare
tory Service at 7.3O. The import
ance of attending these Prepar-
atory Services cannot be over-em-
phasized. We must prepare our
selves for the table Of the Lord

Secretary Hull's Remarks on Trade
Discussed in Berlin.
BERLIN, April "A CP.-Secretary
Cordell Hull's address at an Associ-
ated Press meeting in New York was
described as most interesting" last
night by Hans Dieckhoff, director of
the American division of the German
foreign Office.
"Mr. Hull's utterances. coming from
a man in such an exalted position and
representing so great country. natu-
rally commanded the attention of
German official circles" Dieckhoff
said
I'VE find his exposition of the in
ternational trade situation most in
teresting and We are glad to notice
that in many respects his ideas run
parallel to those expressed last Sat-
urday by Foreign Minister Van Neu-
rath in ris address before the Ibero-
American Institute of Hamburg.
This is especially true of Mr.. Hull's
recognition of the fact that lack of
exports must necessarily lead to
diminution of domestic production.
I'VE also consider as extremely i'm
portant that Mr.. Hull recognizes GER
tain countries, by which he apparent
ly also meant Germany, cannot live
without importing raw materials and
exporting the goods manufactured
from them"

Two problems worry the British
government most-German rearma-
ment and the desire Of the Japanese
to dominate exclusively the Asiatic
continent. Which of the two prob
lens is more alarming the British
cabinet ministers can't make up their
minds themselves.
Hitler has become nightmare in
Great Britain because of his avowed
intention of building up the German
air force so as to become the equal
to the strongest in Europe. In this
the British see a challenge to their
supremacy in Europe and are ready to
meet that challenge.
Conservative and Labor members
of the House of Commons. which
control the strings of the imperial
purse, have now agreed unanimously
to give the administration all the
monies it requires to bring the Brit
ish air force to the necessary strength
to meet any emergency. There was
loud applause from the opposition
and government benches in the
House when Sir Philip Sassoon
stated in Parliament that: In the
next war the cause of Great Britain
will be won or lost in the air." And
there was equal approval when Capt.
Guest stated that IF the required
credits for four new air squadrons
are not granted, God help the prime
minister" And thev we're granted,
The Far-Eastern problem worries
the British more directly because 1t
is more imminent. The Japanese
have flung the gauntlet to the world
and ordered every nation. in unmis-
taxable terms, to keep out Of China.
The British won't and can't keep out
of China without serious injury to
their economic interests and to their
prestige all over the East. The
mighty British Empire cannot toll
crate to be kicked about by little
Japan.
