POST OFFICE AGAIN SHOWS
 FAIR SURPLUS
Annual Report Made Pub. lic by Postmaster
 General Farley

WASHINGTON, Dec 3O.- The first increase in Postal revenues since 1880 helped Postmaster Gen. eral James A. Farley claim a second annual surplus in Government op- eration of mails, according to a statement made today.
 Postmaster General Farleys re- port for the fiscal year which ended on June 30, listed Post Office ex- penses at $696,6OO,000, compared to revenues of $630, 795 ,OOO. He explain ed that ship and aviation subsidies, free mail, and other non-postal and adjusted items totaled $70772, ,000 for the twelve months, and that sub traction of that amount left met surplus" of $4,964000, compared to a $12,161,0 ,0O0 surplus claimed last year.
 Postmaster General Farley said, in expl a ming the controverted bookkeeping methods which caused Ia furore last year, that no business could be expected to provide money necessary to maintain gratuitous service and pay subsidies from nor nal business income, so the Post Office department drew on a general fund in the Treasury to maintain those items.
 w. L. Slattery, Post Office Comp troller, denied that the surplus was a bookkeeping job," explaining we inherited a formula which Congress had set up. When we applied it we got a surplus; when our predeces- |sors applied the same formula to the same operations they got a deficit" :"

METHODISTS MERGE

Reports from the East indicate the merger oi Methodism in this country after a split of more than 100 years. Originally it was single faith but in 1880 the Methodist Protestants broke away on the question of lay representation in church administration. The question of slavery divided the Methodist Episcopal Church South from the Methodist Episcopal l844 In the years that fol- lowed these major groups granted laymen a voice in annual conferences. and the Civil War settled the slavery problem A movement has been under way for years unify Methodism again and recently a merger plan was agreed upon by joint commis- sion of the three churches.
 report of the plan, published in the New York Times, explains it as follows:
 The government and administration of the
 the union will be episcopal; it's ranking
 executive body will be a general conference
 held every four years, composed half oi
 ministers half of laymen; below this will
 be a series of lesser conferences for districts
 and localities.
 It will take five years it said before
 the plan is approved by the three groups
 and their local churches When this is
 accomplished, the Methodist Church the
 name agreed upon-win have membership
 of 100000 This will place it third among
 the religious units of the country. The
 Roman Catholic population, according to the
 Official Catholic Directory, numbers 2o.-
 100000; Baptists placed at 8,246,zo6 by
 the latest Federal Census.
 There are those who feel at times that We arc drifting in religious thought, but there is greater reason to believe that religion is gaining strength constantly through tolerance and just such unity as the Methodists achieving.

War from Fascism
Cincinnati Enquirer)

It is generally assumed that Fascism leads to war, view which finds good deal of support in the fact that both Italy and Germany present. ing by their policies threats of conflict. But there is some ground for reversing the order, and discovering in war the roots of Fascism. Without the social and economic dsintegration of the World War, Italy probably would not have welcomed the appearance of Fascism in 1922. Certainly Adolf Hitler was sired by the Treaty of Versailles and cataputed into power by the postwar currency troubles.
 It is hopeless to try to put the twin evils of war and Fascism into a simple and clear relation ship. But the accommodating evidence suggests that the chaos of the World War fundamentally responsible for the rise of Fascsm. And nnumer- able signs in Italy and Germany confirm the belief that in its turn Fascist dictatorship augments the danger of
 war, MT. A. A. Milne sums up well the warlike tendency of the Fascist system:
 Fascsm is simply autocracy up to date
 Being autocracy, it is based on force. It
 follows that the force must always be there;
 standing army of adherents in suitably
 colored shirts, devoted either to the auto
 crat himself or to the State through the
 autocrat. To keep the devotion of this
 army at it's height all the picturesquenesS
 of real must be invoked That such
 army should have occasional longngs
 to bring it's human energies to higher
 tension is natural. Of necessity it was
 nourished on the Sentimentaties of war;
 inevitably it's thoughts will turn to war
 Mussolini's years of saber rattling eventually brought him to the point where he compelled to wage a war of aggression though it might mean national suicide in the long run. Hitler's preparations for defense" are coupled with unre- mitting propaganda for the rectifcation of Ger manys bleeding frontiers creating the threat of a far greater war than Italy could wage But in tracing the primary danger of to these Fascist regions, should not forget that they themselves were born of an earlier Thus does the stupidity of war perpetuate itself with each peace settlement" creating new injustices that furnish plausible pretexts for revenge

Plan TheateT
On Columbia
Island

Plans for the erection Of q
huge theater on Columbia Island
to be used by a Federal Academy
of Arts of the Stage" were out
lined to the District CommiS-
sionerS today by a committee
whose members announced they
would seek PWA funds for the
construction work.
It was said by Edwin Fairfax
Naulty, technical counsel and
secretary for sponsors of the
project, that Secretary Ickes
would be asked for the necessary
funds in a few days.
The committee stated the
District government would not
be asked to finance any portion
of the construction costs and
that the visit to the District
Commissioner was merely out of
courtesy to them as heads Of the
local government. The committee
would not estimate the cost Of
the project or reveal the names
of persons sponsoring it.
Among the ideas advanced by
the committee was for the estab-
lishment of a legitimate adult
theater, opera house and concert
hall.
According to the plans, the
building would have four radial
auditoriumS and maintain its sea-
son throughout 48 weeks of the
wear.
