which he seeks to open the eyes of
Germans to the true state Of affairs
beyond their borders:

Mr.. Macdonald tells the German
people that they are asking far too

roundly declares that Germany's re-

suspicion the pledges she has been

IDEALS AND LIFE
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES FREEMAN, d. d, IL. D., Del.
Bishop Of Washington

These are significant words. They
are the profound convictions OF the
head of one Of our greatest educa-
tional institutions. 1t may be, and
probably is, true that the practical
values of religion as applied to our
social and economic practice have not
been made as evident in our age as
they should be. 1t may be that our
practice has not squared with our pro-
fession. Doubtless much Of the apos-
tasy Of our age is traceable to the fall
ure of the professed religionist to make
his religious principles operative In
his daily conduct and practice. Ger
tainly the time has come where we
must fact the challenge presented in
DR.. Angell's bold statement. 1t Is be-
coming increasingly evident that Sc
curity and survival, whether OF the in
dividual or the body corporate, are
conditioned and determined by the
kind of ideals that we adhere to and
practice. That Jesus Christ dealt with
the immediate and pressing problems
Of life, that He sought by word and
act to give to men a finer sense Of
their individual and corporate obliga-
tions, Is clearly evident. He lived in
real world, contended with weighty
and pressing human problems and re-
peatedly insisted that His mission was
to give to men a finer. nobler and
more wholesome philosophy of life. He
dealt with the privileged and under
privileged, with the we'll and the sick,
with the abused and with the favored.
As a matter Of fact, He came to His
crucifixion because He dared to con-
front and confound the faults and sell
fish PHILOSOPHERS Of His people. The
ruling class destroyed Him because He
attacked their unwholesome and in
equitable systems.
We will not and we cannot survive
nor have the sense of security unless
along with our other efforts at reha-
bilitation we freshly and definitely
acknowledge our loyalty to those deep
and eternal religious principles that
constitute the very basis Of our in
dividual and corporate happiness and
peace. We do not believe that our
youth in particular will follow any
leader, however clever and adroit he
may be, who lacks devotion and loyalty
to deep moral principles and spiritual
ideals.

Daylight Saving.

Washington will not be affected
directly, but a considerable number
of other American cities will embark
on the annual adventure of daylight
saving today. The subject is one
upon which thousands have passion
ate prejudices. Those who approve
of the device are violent in their de-
fense Of it; those who disapprove are
even more vehement. The idea itself,
it seems, frequently is lost in the
welter of controversy.
But it is a reasonably good notion,
nonetheless. In Spring and Summer
the early portion of the day is pleas
ant and congenial enough to be its
own justification. For centuries it
was an ordinary custom to rise with
the sun, and no one was excited
about it. Modern systems of illumi-
nation interfered by making the eve
ming too attractive-people cultivated
the habit of going to bed later than
had been the rule with their an
cestors. and naturally they also de-
veloped a desire to sleep longer in
the morning. Now In places where
daylight saving prevails they feel
cheated or tricked when the alarm
clock indicates seven and they realize
that it is only six.
The World War provided oppor-
tunity for an emergency trial of the
plan in Great Britain, France. Italy,

Macdonald Indicts Hitler.

In the current issue of the fort
nightly news letter which Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald addresses
to his personal following of thirteen
members of the House of Commons
Nazi Germany is subjected to an in
dictment Of her aggressive military
policy hardly less scathing than the
one voted at Geneva earlier this
month. 1t is the more significant
because Mr.. Macdonald typifies that
school of British official thought
which has held that a conciliatory
attitude toward the Reich migrL per-
suade Hitler to return to the League
and join in European pacifcation.
Mr. Macdonald now says that Ger
many has destroyed the feeling Of
mutual confidence, instilled new fears
in the minds Of nations, broken up
the road to peace and "beset 1t with
ambushes."
The prime minister's statement is
Evening star., 1935-04-28

Can we survive individually or
corporately without religious ideals?
This is the primary and pertinent
question of the hour. UP to the pres
ent we have assumed that funda-
mentally as q people we were upon
a religious foundation, and 1t is only
within recent years that this aSsump-
ton has been challenged. In all our
concepts of individual and corporate
practice a religious basis Is implied.
Wherever men in public life by word
or act have denied this, they have
lost public favor and their decline has
been swift and certain. Such religious
principles as the Golden Rule and
those set forth in the Ten Command
mentS have occupied conspicuous
and integral place in our life.
1t is interesting and significant to
note that some Of our outstanding
publicists and educators are beginning
to appraise the causes of our present
confusion and are tracing them to the
decay OF moral and spiritual Ideals.
Recently. DR.. Angel, president Of
dlC OuANCloAty, lli q ilOtabAC oudiS ScoI
declared that "Only when and II there
be an essentially ethical and re-
ligious attitude introduced into the
convictions Of the great mass Of the
population can there be that generous
and whole-hearted cooperation which
can alone guarantee continuing proc
ess, even in the face Of shifting cir
cumstance." He refers to the accept
ance of spiritual order Of right
eousness as constituting an integral
part Of reality" and maintains that
the ultimate values of life are re-
flected in beauty. truth. righteous
ness and their kim" and that all
these are children of the spirit and
very close to the heart Of true rcli-
gion." Continuing. DR.. Angell said:
They are indigenous to the human
social order. and in any effort to
better that order they must be taken
into full account. While hunger and
destitution are insufferable in any
age, it Is still as true today as 1t
was 1900 years ago that man does
not live by bread alone. Any effort
to bring peace and happiness into our
lives which seeks this result through
economic channels solely, is destined
to defeat"

Unemployment Insurance Plans.

Unemployment Insurance Plans.
The Ellenbogen unemployment in
surance bill for the District is now
on the House calendar. having been
reported without change from the
District Committee last week after
the House passed the national social
security measure. In its present form
the bill is more drastic in its tax
provisions, and more liberal in its
unemployment benefits. than any
State laws so far enacted. Its final
form, of course, will be decided by
the House and by the Senate, the
latter having not yet begun its con-
sideration in committee.
At the beginning of this year there
were forty-four State Legislatures IN
session and it is probable that most
of them were in the mood to enact
unemployment insurance measures.
Some eighty bills were introduced IN
the States. But the delay in Con-
gress over enactment of the national
egislation-which the State measures
are to supplement-aud the uncer-
tainty which still exists as to the final
form of this national legislation has
apparently cooled the ardor of the
States. About twenty Legislatures
have adjourned. Only three States
have enacted unemployment insur-
ance laws, and in two of these-Wash-
tngton and Utah-the local laws will
not become effective until the ma
tional legislation is enacted. New
York has enacted law which Will
function regardless of national leg
islation. Wisconsin, the pioneer
State in passing such legislation, finds
itself with law on the statute
books which Is not recognized-aS to
eligibility of the State to Federal tax
credits-by the National Government.
The Senate, of course, may change
that
In relation to the four State laws,
the District bill, as reported, is the
c1ly one which demands contribu-
ton from the local government, in
addition to the local three per cent
pay roll tax levied on employers and
the Federal pay roll tax-which be-
gins in 1896 at one per cent and in
creases to three per cent in 1888
also levied on employers. The unem-
ployment benefits under the District
bill run to twenty-six weeks, whereas
the benefits in the State laws so far
enacted reach q maximum OF from
ten to sixteen weeks. While the Dis
trict bill conforms to the national
legislation in its present form and
to the State laws in Utah. New York
and Wisconsin as far as the principle
of contributions by employer only is
concerned, the Washington State law
provides for contributions by both
employe and employer, in line with
practice in European countries and in
accordance with considerable expert
opinion.
The District bill has been framed
by the national authorities who hope
to see a model local law functioning
in a laboratory free from the occa-
sionally hampering manifestations of
mere taxpayers. 1t levies relatively
higher taxation than the State laws,
because its provisions are more ex-
pensive. But it should be modified,
certainly to the extent of eliminating
the unique provision which calls for
a contribution from the general tax
funds of the District in addition to
the contribution from employers in
the form Of pay roll taxes.

Fifty Years AGO
In The Star

A plan for a new. large hotel in
Washington led to the following COM
ment in The Star Of April %, 1885:
Washington's IF the project Of
Hotel Need. on Mcpherson
Square be carried
cut, the plans ought to be so
drawn and the building 80 con-
structed as to contemplate the
final absorption of all the ground
IN the block between Vermont ave-
nue. and Fifteenth and H and I
streets, for that would be required
IN the end. What Washington needs
more than any one thing is an I'm
mense and luxurious Winter hotel,
something like the Palace Hotel Of
San Francisco. or those Of Saratoga,
adapted for the season. and 1t Is
doubtful if a better place can be
found for 1t than the site named.
Properly managed, such an establish
ment could be run at a handsome
profit for at least eight months OF
the year, and besides that it would
be of the greatest advantage to the
city in the number Of money spend
ing visitors and especially Of families
and family parties it would draw and
keep here during the Fall, Winter
and Spring months, and who do not
come now for the sole reason that
they find more desirable hotel accom-
modat tions elsewhere. With hotel Of

ing that one and two horse We
hicles shall occupy different stands

not easy for the public to understand
why a limited number Of each class
might not occupy the same stand To-
gether. AS the several positions desig-
mated for public vehicles are intended
for the convenience Of the public as
well as for the benefit Of carriage
and cab owners and drivers, 1t would
seem to be only reasonable to allow
the arrangement Of the two classes
to be determined by the law Of de-
mand. 1t does not follow that those
residing near the stands designated
for two horse carriages have use for
only that style Of conveyance; nor
on the other hand ought those living
in the neighborhocd of the one-horse
stations be required to go long dis
tances to find a two-horse vehicle
