The hurricane caused considerable

IGNORES OIL PACT
Secretary Cites Existence
of Peace Treaties in
"Every Country"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull announced
today that the concession granted by
the Ethiopian government to the Afri-
can Exploration & Development Corp.
would play no part whatever in the
attitude of the United States toward
the Italo- Ethiopian situation.
The Secretary, asked by newsmen
for this Governments official reac-
ton to Emperor Halle Selassie's grant
of development rights in more than
half of his African empire to Anglo
American interests, made the following
formal statement:
ut has not thus far been possible
to secure the full facts relative to the
reported oil concession transaction in
Ethiopia.
THE reported concession, as I
stated on last Saturday, was made
without this Government having in
any way been consulted or informed.
"A sufficient amount of informa-
ton, however, has since been received
to enable me to say definitely that,
whatever the nature of this transac-
tion may prove to be, either CONNER
cially or politically, or both, the atti-
tude and policy of this Government
toward the controversy between Italy
and Ethiopia will be maintained here
after just as it would have been main
tanned had this reported oil transac-
ton not occurred.
The central point in the policy of
this Government in regard to the
Italian and Ethiopian controversy is
the preservation of peace-to which
policy every country throughout the
world is committed by one or more
treaties-and we earnestly hope that
no nations will, in any circumstances,
be diverted from this supreme OBJ
jective."

TREASURY RECALLS
LIBERTY BONDS
Launches S1,7OO, 900, 900
Financing Operation to Re-
pIenish Cash Reserves.

The Treasury Department today
launched a sl,750, 100000 financing
operation which is designed to retire
the last of the famous World War
Liberty bonds and to raise funds to
replenish cash reserves and supply
new working capital for govern
mental activities.
The amount of Liberty bonds to be
refunded totals S1,250. 900. .000-the
last Of $4,000, ,000. 900 sold to the
public during the World War. Secre-
tary Morgenthau said that holders of
the bonds, which will be called in for
redemption October Is, may ex-
change them for new low-interest
bearing securities or for cash.
Seek $500, 600 200.
The Treasury is seeking s500,000.-

reserve. II 1t Is successful in obtain
ing this amount through the new op-
Grafton the public debt will reach, at
least temporarily, new all-time high
of more than $500, 900, ,o00..
The $500.000,0 cash borrowing
paper will be offered on a straight
subscription basis. This is an aban-
donment of the recent practice of
auction selling to the highest bidder
which was blamed in part for the
failure of last weeks sale.
Although retiring of the Fourth
Liberties will erase from Government
records the last of approximately
$25, 600, 900 900 of war securities, the
public debt in the refunded form still
will include about $4,000, 100000 of
war costs. Financial experts eSti-
mated, however, that when the last
of the $1,000, ,0O0, 900 of Liberty bonds
has been converted into new, lower
interest-bearing securities. the Gov
ernment will save more than $780,
000,000 annually in interest charges.

said to bear the lowest rate Of in

Peter Delivered from PRISON, Acts
12:5-17, for Sunday, March IT:
Herod Agrippa, grandson of
IIerod the Great, the king Of Ju-
dea, proceeded to put to death the
leading Christians; James, the
brother Of John, had been executed,
and he next seized on Peter, but be-
cause of the Passion Week, he kept
him in prison for a few days.
V. 5. Peter therefore was kept
in prison; but prayer was made
without ceasing of the church unto
God for him" Sometimes when one
does his duty in perilous times it
means suffering and at other times
it means privilege Of service. James
in doing his duty was executed, but
in the case of Peter there is priv
ilege for prayer that will end in
continued service. Prayer was in
order in both cases.
VS.. 6, 7. "And when Herod was
about to bring him forth, the same
night Peter was sleeping between
two soldiers, bound with two
cIdIHS, duu ucti pSic+1 NAAS 49,
kept the prison. And, behold, an
angel of the Lord stood by him, and
a light shined in the cell; and he
smote Peter on the side and awoke
him saying, Rise up quickly. And
his chains fell off from his hands"
Every precaution was taken to keep
Peter in prison; here was con-
tiict of prison against prayer; the
prayer of the church was answered
in a wonderful way; an angel de-
livered Peter who was resting i'm
plicitIy in his Fathers care, so
much so that he was fast asleep;
each follower of the Lord will also
find a deliverer when entering the
final sleep provided he too is rest
ing implicitly in his Fathers care.

that Peter stood before the gate. .
The little maid was overcome with

hear again the voice of a loved one

v &. "And the angel said unto
him, Gird thyself, and bind on thine
sandals. And he did so. And he
saith unto him, Cast thy garments
about thee and follow me. And he
went out and followed and he knew
not that it was true which was done
by the angel, but thought he saw a
vision In getting a victory, God
will do what is impossible for man
to do, but man must perform such
duties as are within his possibilities.
So wonderful was all this that Peter
are wonderful things in store for
Gods faithful children.
V. 10. And when they were
past the first and the second guard,
they came unto the iron gate that
leadeth into the city, which opened
to them of its own accord; and they
went out, and passed on through
one street; and straightway the an
gel departed from them.' In his
passage from prison to liberty,
Peter went through two gates that
are typical gates that stand across
every human path; one was an iron
gate which he could not open, but
which was opened for him by the
divine hand. Our iron gate con-
sists of things beyond our control
such as adverse circumstances not
of our own making, the laws of ma
ture, birth and hereditary constitu-
ton: our wooden gates are doors
which we can shape and set and
open. such as character conduct,
conversion, education, service, des-
tiny.
VS.. u, 13. "And when he had
considered the thing he came to the
house of Mary the mother of John
whose surname was Mark; where
many were gathered together and
were praying. And when he knock
ed at the door of the gate, a maid
came to answer, named Rhoda."
Here was the wooden gate through
which Peter could enter without the
angels help; on the one side was a
knocking hand and the other side
was prayer meeting; Peter was
going in the right direction; where
a man goes shows what he is.
