planned to give him an elaborate
reception, but it was toned down
somewhat at his request. President
Justo, who already had greeted the
distinguished guest by wireless, met
him at the dock and accompanied
him to the American embassy. Then
Mr.. Roosevelt, Secretary of State
Hull and members of the American
delegation to the peace conference
made a formal call at the govern
ment house.
Next day, after a ride about the
city, President Roosevelt attended
the extraordinary session in the leg
islative palace to open the Pan
American peace conference which
he initiated. A formal dinner for
him at the government house and
reception for all conference del
egates followed. The event. of the
third day was a luncheon at the
American embassy in honor of
President and Mrs. Justo. Then
Mr.. Roosevelt embarked and started
on the return trip, with a brief stop
scheduled for Montevideo, capital
Of Uruguay.
On his way south President
Roosevelt stopped few hours in
Rio de Janeiro, where half mil
lion citizens turned out in the rain
to give him an enthusiastic well
come. President Vargas showed
him the magnificent Brazilian cap
ital, and he addressed an extraor-
binary session of the parliament
with an eloquent plea to all peo-
Piles of the western continent to keep
out of war and settle their prob
lens with good will and understand

Keeping Christmas Faith
a Spirit of Happiness Much Needed
" in the Days Prior to the Festival

brought out in the real Christmas
spirit. 1t is one that is needed in
the rush before Christmas as
much as on the day itself. Our
patience and such sweetness of
temperament as we are by ma
ture endowed, or by cultivation
possessed of, is called into action
to help keep atmosphere serene
when there is a trend toward
querulousness in children, or
adults. Little folk are quick to
sense strain and tenseness, and
they react to it by nervousness
and contrariness, and an atmos-
phere of love and beauty is
harshly disturbed. 4
On the adults falls the response
bility of keeping faith with Christ
mas by showing the Christmas
spirit in these days of expecta-
tions of holiday happiness, and
preparation for the great festival.

WHATEVER you do in the
w way of preparations for
Christmas, be sure to preserve the
happy Christmas spiri, in the
home. Nothing is more at war
with the atmosphere of Merry
Christmas than cross words,
wrangles, disputes, and anything
that mars good nature in your
selves or those in the home. The
pressure of work, the haste that
makes waste, the beauty of home
life, the conflict of problems, each
of which seems imperative to
solve on the instant, are not con-
ducive to an atmosphere of con-
cord. It takes a person of re-
markable poise not to be influ-
enced by the speeding up of work
and activities prior to the festival.
Because this is true, every one
of us should be on guard over our
selves. We have an influence. No
one can escape this. 1t may do us
good to realize that we are not to-
tally insignificant. Many persons
feel this is their fate when they
are very modest or shy, and crave
to be among the group of those
who attract attention. By the neg
alive method of induction we can
discover our influence is not neg
ligible. It exists, perhaps to our
surprise, and certainly to our dis
may, when we see the effects of
our disagreeable conduct.
It is a comfort to realize that in
reverse order, the better side of
our nature is equally impressive.
Our good nature, our CHEEKY atti-
tude, our soothing words, and our
hearty happiness leave their be-
nefcent effect upon those who
know us-our family, our friends,
and even those who are but ac-
quaintances.
It is this fine attitude that is

pose of launching a war which
would spread to all continents, and
added that soviet Russia still stood
irrevocably for peace. Said he:
Fascist countries make one chal-
lenge after another to peace-loving
democratic states and we hope be-
fore long those states will stand up
to them.
1.-THE soviet union has no reason
to change its position, which was
and always will be-peace. 1t wants
peace for itself and for all other
countries.
1T wants no words-there has
been too much talk-but action from
others.
1.-THE soviet union begs no one to
be its partner. 1t does not ask for
unions, alliances or combinations.
The day will come when the Red
army and navy will be forced to de-
fend the Fatherland. Then they will
show unprecedented courage and,
heroism and fighting ability.
II am sure the soviet union will
stand as fortress against the filthy
waves of a Fascist sea-"
