Combining friendly admonition with
happy birthday greetings, the Monday
Evening Club is to be reminded that
Life Begins at Forty" and there is a
long row still to hoe. 1t is in this vein
that the club is celebrating its fortieth
anniversary with a dinner tomorrow
evening. Long discourse. and much of
it pleasant to old members, might be
given over to discussion of the clubs
past leadership and participation in
movements-some of them successful
designed for the betterment of the COM
munity. But the dinner program cor
rectly emphasizes what lies ahead, rather
than what has been left behind.
1t is a pleasant duty to note this
anniversary in the life of an organiza-
ton that has served so well as the
clearing house and open forum for dis
cussion of problems Immediately affect
ing the best interests of the community,
which has dedicated It's efforts from the
beginning to championing the cause of
the less fortunate. May the Monday

THE REAL LIFE
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN D. d, L. D. D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

"He was the most perfect man who has
ever entered the kingdom of science"
this was DR.. William Osler's estimate Of
the great French physician, Louis Pas
teur. It is word Of high praise paid by
one great physician to another. 1t was
praise for the man, bis noble character
and splendid ideals. Pasteur was more
than a man of science, he was high
souled Christian gentleman. "A great
nation" said Disraeli, 'is nation that
produces great men,"
AS we study the life of Pasteur we
readily recognize that, great as was his
genius as physician and scientist, 1t was
the man in his more private and per-
sonal life that gives to his career endur-
ing distinction. Not what he did but
what he was. Possibly nothing that he
said or wrote interprets more fully this
inner quality of his life than the eulogy
he pronounced upon another: He who
proclaims the existence Of the Infinite,
and none can avoid it--accumulates in
that affirmation more of the supernatural
than is to be found in all the miracles
of all the religions. When that notion
seizes upon our understanding, we can
but kneel I see everywhere the inevita-
BILE expression of the Infinite in the
world. The supernatural is at the bottom
of every heart"
1t is little wonder that a physician with
such a vision Of life's deeper and more
sacred meaning should have attained
such distinction as Osler suggests: 1.-The
most perfect man who has ever entered
the kingdom of science" 1t was doubt
less through the door that led him into
the temple of science that he came to
know and reverently worship the In
finite. recall that the late DR.. Michael
Pupin once said to me that 40 years in
the laboratory with microscope and test
tubes had made him more reverent and
more certain of the things of Christian
faith than all that had been taught him
by his pastor when as lad he lived in
Serbia.
It is interesting in an age of new and
strange isms, of undigested and fanciful
theories, of lessened reverence and
flippant regard for old and deep religious
truths, to find that the mysteries as well
Evening star., 1936-02-16

as the disclosures of science have to
many an earnest student confirmed his
faith anu greatly enriched his character.
The stress laid upon material values and
the advantages that come with sncreas-
ing wealth and broadening culture has
doubtless made our age less responsive
TO the high claims of religion. 1t is gen.
orally conceded, even by the secularist.
that religion has its definite If restricted
place as refining influence, and that
it belongs in the economy of the social
order. BY this standard churches for
oaptisms, marriages and funerals serve
a useful purpose, and where these func-
tons are confined within accepted areas
they fit into the social scheme of things.
This was not Pasteurs conception of
religion and its uses. He took it into his
laboratory, it went with him on his err
rands of healing, it furnished the in
spiration to study and research, it light
ened his burdens, especially so when
those buroens became so heavy that they
prostrated him Hear him saying: "Bless-
ed is he who carries within himself
God, an ideal, and who obeys it: Ideal of
art, ideal Of science, ideal of the gospel
virtues; therein lie the springs of great
II1OuSllOo dilQ SACdI dCb1OAiob GAlCJ dA
feet light from the Infinite"
What inspiration there is to companion
With such a man; how it lifts our COM
monplace, humdruin lives above that
which is cheap, tawdry and superficial.
Sometimes there seems to be peril that
we see in life today; peril to that habit
of deeper, finer thinking that rightly ap-
praises life's nobler and finer values. We
get caught up with the moving, hurry
ing crowd. The radio with its confused
programs occupies so large part of our
evening hour; the distractions of endless
varieties of social occupation; too much
indulgence in improbable reading, these
deny us times for reflection and the cul-
tivation of the mind and of the spirit
An evening spent with such life as that
of Louis Pasteur is like an exhilarating
tonic, we rise from its perusal with a
finer zeSt for all that is best and most
worthwhile in life. Our souls are re-
freshed and life has larger meaning.
1t suggests what real life means.

Falkland Islands.

Questions ranging around a new issue
Of postage stamps have been known to
arouse philatelc controversies. Mr.. Far
ley could supply some testimony on that
score-but not often have they provoked
first-class international incident. A
precedent has been established by new
dispute over an ancient quarrel between
Argentina and Great Britain.
The Buenos Aires government recently
issued stamps showing the Falkland Is
lands to be Argentine territory. The
episode evoked a blunt pronouncement
in the House of Commons by Foreign
Secretary Eden. Mr.. Eden welcomed
the opportunity of stating that, in SO far
as the issue Of the stamps is based on
the assertion Of an Argentine claim to
the Falkland Islands, his majesty's gov
ernnent cannot admit any such claim,
as the islands are British territory" Mr..
Eden added that the British Ambassador
in Buenos Aires has been instructed to
point out that no useful purpose can be
served by the stamps. which can only
be detrimental to the good relations Of
the two countries.
Once upon a time such a situation
might have been expected to lead to a
real conflict. It conjures UP visions of
a proud British squadron arriving in
South American waters to give visible
effect to the good old British Empire

A Roosevelt Walker.

Jimmy Walker, who resigned as mayor
of New York under fire when Gov.
Roosevelt occupied the executive man
sion in Albany, is now. it is reported,
put forward by Postmaster General
James A. Farley as district delegate
to the Democratic National Convention
to vote for the denomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t will be difficult for
many persons to believe that Gov. Roose-
velt and President Roosevelt are one
and the same man. A suggestion three
years ago that Jimmy Walker would be
sent as Roosevelt Democrat to the
party's national convention in 1886 would
have been regarded as a joke. Today
the proposal is seriously entertained.
Walkers administration as mayor of
Greater New York was attacked Wig
orously in 1881 and 1892. Scandal after
scandal was uncovered by a legislative
committee appointed to investigate.
Finally the mayor himself was called
on the carpet, with Gov. Roosevelt Off
ciating as chief executive Of the State.
The Governors firm handling of the
Walker case reused admiration not only
in New York, but throughout the coun-
try. And Walker quit, denouncing
Roosevelt. The former mayor went to
Europe, and in Europe he stayed while
a case involving his income taxes was
being pressed. The Government, how
ever, year or more ago dropped the
case. And now, it appears, the former
mayor is not only back in New York, but
ready to go to the Philadelphia conven-
ton next June to support the renomina-
ton of the President. He was recently
the guest of the Postmaster General at
a testimonial dinner given to Mr.. Farley
by the employees of the Post Office
Department.
Mr.. Farley who is chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee as well
as chairman of the Democratic State
Committee of New York, wants Tammany
to send Jimmy Walker as district dele
gate to the convention. Walker, 1t is
urged, will be just the man to wise
crack Al Smith, if the former New York
Governor takes walk" out of the Dem
ocratic National Convention. The Roose-
welt high command is substituting a
Walker for a Smith. What an exchange!
The dose seems too much for Tam
many to swallow Mr.. Farley has been
| told by Tammany leaders that if he
! wants Walker in the national conven-
| ton he can have him named a delegate
at large. but not to look to Tammany to
name him as district delegate. Tam
many, on the other hand, plans to send
AL Smith as a delegate from the district
which the former Governor represented
when he started his upward career
in politics.
Tammany will send a Roosevelt dele
CATION to the national convention, it is
said, perhaps with the exception Of
Smith. But it is not willing to stomach
the former mayor. And there the mat
ter appears to stand for the time being.
1t is not interested in any gesture of
gratitude which Walker may wish to
make either to Mr.. Farley or to the
Chief Executive.

the old program, the Government
moved over into price-flxing loans and
into forced control of marketing. Now
it is constitutionally unable to control
marketing. AS result, lower prices
would be expected in the present situ-
alton to result in increased farmer de-
mand for tinkering with the country's
currency or for change in the Con-
stitution to permit controls now banned.

Actually, the shortcomings of the new
farm aid plan strike officials as being
more apparent than those of the old
plan. They doubt whether farm
troubles are to be corrected for any
length of time by the efforts of the
present Congress.
Then isn't there some way out of the
situation in which agriculture and Gov
eminent find themselves?
Henry Wallace, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, frequently has pointed out what
he thinks is the most satisfactory
escape. 1t is that this country's tariff
walls be adjusted downward to a degree
that would enable foreign nations to sell
more Of their goods in this market,
thereby obtaining dollars to use in buy
ing surplus farm products.
American agriculture in the past
always has sold its surpluses abroad.
Now that this country is unwilling to
loan foreigners money with which TO
buy farm products, old markets have
partly dried UP.

The British finally established their
sovereignty over the Falklands in 1892
but Argentina has long protested that
she is their real owner. At the end OF
1914 the islands were the scene of a
decisive British naval victory over a
German squadron. That historic occa-
sion clothes the Falklands with senti-
mental interest that doubtless makes the
British more loath than ever to part
with a remote South Atlantic outpost
that has no real Importance.

Again, fascinating work has been done
in connection with printing. In what is
known as Offset printing, especially with
colors, where one impression Is made
over another, printers have encountered
difficulties in making the superimposed
impressions register, which means fit
exactly where they are supposed to go
over the impression beneath. For a long
time failures to get perfect register
have been attributed to a stretching
Of the paper.
Experiments Of the bureau have deter
mined that this is not the cause of the
trouble. The moisture in inks used and
also the moisture. content Of the air In
press rooms are responsible. Presence
of varying amounts Of moisture cause
the paper to expand or contract, with
the result that the successive impressions
do not register correctly. So successful
has the bureau been in conditioning
paper and air that In that most exacting
kind Of Offset printing, map work. -
many as seventeen impressions have
been made with perfect register.

Even now we could produce all the
farm products we need with go per cent
of our present farmers. AS soon as
industrial activity is restored and the
urban unemployed are again employed
at useful work, we should turn to the
task of helping these 100000 workers,
unneeded in agriculture, find more
productive occupations elsewhere"
The new farm program, however, is
based, not on the elimination OF sur
plus farmers who would only add to
the city unemployed, but rather on the
payment of subsidies to farmers who
agree to improve their farms by build
ing up the SOIL
Essentially the objective is to induce
several millions of farmers to retire
about 10000 900 acres of crop land from
use in producing such crops as corn
and, cotton and wheat and turn them
to producing alfalfa or grass or trees.
The thought is that this operation would
result in reducing the farm plant to
about the same extent that the old A.
A. A. programs reduced it..
The difference is that there will be
no contracts with farmers through
which the Government can effect close
controls, and there will be no formula
assuring farmers a definite portion of
the national income. There will be
subsidies, subject to the abuses that
almost always 60 along with them.
But is there any assurance that the
new method will prove effective in
practice2
No more than there was in the vol
untary A. A. A. programs upset by the
Supreme Court. If there should be ia
yorable weather for growing wheat and
corn and cotton this year, then the
output of these commodities would be
expected to be larger than markets
could absorb at existing prices.
