"A rising tide of atheism is
sweeping away the religious faith

S. Southworth, Church of the Ad-
vent rector, said in a Lenten SER

"The ideas of religion are funda-
mental to the stability of any and
all types of civiliZa ton.
"Our American government re-

can atheism?"

on New Deal critics coupled with
the assurance to the nation that
changes in the method of approach
to an objective did not mean that
old ideals have been scrapped.
What has taken place at Rol-
Inns" he said, illustrates what I
speak of as new approaches to old
problems. If you abolish lectures
and Rotations and substitute the
conference plan of study, you do
not abandon the old ideals of cul-
ture.
AN amazing increase in the very
number of things which an edu-
Gated man must know today calls
not only for more facts but calls
also for what might be called a
third dimension in educa ton - the
tying together of all the subjects
and all the facts into the relation

collectively, so do the masses of our
people individually and collectively
approach governmental problems
All OF us are greatly influenced by
group association. The family
group is the oldest, the smallest. and
yet through all change and all time
the most important.
Yet there are groups with some
OF which almost all have some form
CT association-the church, the So
clal circle, the club, the lodge, the
labor organization, the political
party, the neighboring farmers.
Business and commerce are almost
wholly made up of groups.
The fact of this group existence
and resulting group thinking
brings forward one of the great
problems of orderly government
functioning.
In the community, local govern
ment must adjust small groups for
the community good. In states.
larger groups must be co-ordinated
for the greater good of all the peo-
pie within the state. In the Fed

adjust still greater groups in the in

DANISH WOMAN
 GEOCRAPHER IS
 THROUGH HERE
Professor Sophia Petersen in Ala a to Study
 ReindeerE Experiment

Sophia Petersen, Professor of Geo. graphy at the University of Copen- hagen, was brief visitor in Ju- neau, today after the arrival of the Yukon and before the departure of the PA plane for Fairbanks.
 During her stay in town, Prof. Peterson visited the Territorial Mu- scum and conferred with the Rev. A. P Kashevaroff, curator, on prob lens of the Alaska Eskimos.
 The distinguished woman geo. grapher is making this northern trip for the purpose of making a com parative study of the American Eskimos and those of Greenland. From evidence disclosed by the ex- hibits of native craftwork in the museum here she believes that there are practically no differences be- tween the two types of Eskimos.
 Professor Peterson subscribes to the theory that both the Alaskan and Greenland Eskimos originated in the Hudson Bay district in Can ada and she is extremely interested in our experiment in providing rein deer for the natives. She stated that the Greeland natives are a fishing people almost entirely, and when the fishing season has been poor, the Eskimos have a winter of great hardship For this reason the Danish government is anxious to see the results of our impora- ton of reindeer with a view to doing likewise for Greenland.
 Dr. Petersen crossed the Atlantic to New York on the Queen Mary and flew from there to Seattle She expects to spend approximately two weeks in Alaska, and return to New York via Canada.

Gen, johnson Says

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Should the Nye Committee
L Y be choked off?
Of course not. The Senator pulled boner by
undertaking heroic figure But suppression of
the truth would be bigger boner.
When honestly marshaled and correctly appraised,
all of the facts in the entire incident of ebro
ment of the World War are to the highest credit OF
this nation and of woodrow Wilson. -
In the second place, if they were not, sup-
preston merely magni1es what and plumbers
there were, out of all proportion to their true sig
ni1cance, and leaves a smudge of national doubt,
fear and nisgving what, otherwise is brilliant
chapter in history.
Did Woodrow Wilson know about all secret treaties?
What if he did? As international law and practice
then Stood we had been pushed to point where
peace was impossible much longer. If We had not
taken the defensive against German encroachmerts,
we would assuredly have been forced to defend
selves against allied aggressions
WOODROW WILSON'S knowledge of what the
" allies promised each other to cement their al
legance is irrelevant The important allegation
ever is that afterward he denied knowledge In other
words, the only point is: WAS Wilson liar?"
Stated that way, the whole thing is absurd. That
tomDstone-jawed covenanter has been accused of
MUCH but never before of lying.
What misunderstanding there may have been Is
another matter. misunderstanding there certainly
was because some of the secret" g. e. unproclaimed)
treaties were nevertheless matters of public knowl-
edge and so, obviously of Wilson's
Others he couldn't have known about He almost
shattered himself and did destroy his dedication in
Italy, by battering down some secret engagements
which had brought that country into the war. That
was wholly inconsistent with any knowledge of them
anyway! Hell n Maria won the war
didn't we?"
