A TRUE DIAGNOSIS
BY THE RIGHT JAMES FREEMAN, D. D., IL d, D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

what lack I YETI" was the proud
and self-assured statement Of a young
man who came to Christ expecting that
his acknowledged virtues would receive
the great teachers appreciation. He
freely afiirmed that he had been obedient
to the moral law, that he had consist
emily observed a rule Of life that would
stand q critical test. There was rea-
sonable pride In his boastful statement. ;.
"all these things have kept from my
youth up" Doubtless he expected hearty
and immediate approval Of his seemingly
blameless life, but he reckoned without
knowledge Of the Masters penetrative
vision and was disappointed by His re-
ply: "One thing thou lackest."
Self-appraisal is one thing, the Mas
ter's Judgment another. We Judge our
selves and the lives Of men and women
about us by superficial standards. Our
diagnosis lacks knowledge Of inherent
weaknesses that do not readily disclose
themselves. Even in the appraisal Of our
children and those who are nearest to
us, while we recognize and praise their
virtues we are prone to overlook or treat
with reconsideration their vices. There
Is q type of kindness that is undiscrimi-
mating and sometimes hurtful. Many
young man or young woman has lost
high attainment because Of judgment
that took no cognizance Of inherent
weaknesses that, uncorrected issued In
disappointment and ultimate failure.
The fairness and justice Of Jesus judg-
ment Is always evident. He could take
one who had committed grave sins,
whose life was halted by serious weak
nesses, and by the disclosure Of new
possibilities redeem the mistaken and
erring one to q newness of life. His
chief hindrance in reaching men was
their assumed sinlessness and freedom
from fault. This he could not resist; it
put the man who came to Him beyond
the power Of His remedial service.
At this period of the year we are wit
Messing the emergence of a great num-
ber of young men and women from
schools and colleges. They are issuing
forth from institutions where for years
they have been making ready for life's
larger and fuller service. They are

sea and convert the Hitler state into a
formidable factor in European affairs.
The ships that passed proudly before
the Fuehrer's gaze at Kiel are, in their
respective classes, the last word In mod
ern naval construction. They included
submarines, destroyers, cruisers, speed
boats and three Of the celebrated 10000
ton "vest-pocket" battleships, said to be
the most effective units Of their type
afioat. Nineteen submarines, first Ger
man undersea craft to reappear since
the World War, took a conspicuous part
in sham battle staged for the Fuehrers
from aboard the battleship Deutschland.
Undoubtedly the Germans retain SUI
preme faith in the effectiveness Of their
submarine weapon and may be expected
to develop it extensively, especially as
all limitations on numbers Of naval units
are now abolished, the various powers
being at liberty to build in different
categories to any degree that their
necessities require and their budgets
permit. Germany has been invited to
adhere to the Anglo Franco American
pact for qualitative" limitation and ex-
change Of building information and is
understood to be ready to do so.
Since the World War consideration of
international sea power has been con-
fined to the fleets Of Great Britain, the
United States. Japan, France and Italy.
With Germanys bid for her old place
in the naval sun and the plans of Soviet
Russia to possess itself Of feet capable
OF operating both in the Baltic and in
the far Pacific, it is plain that the bal
ance OF power at sea is destined to
undergo important changes, with in
evitable effect upon the political policies
OF Europe, Asia and America.

Philippine Defense.

Major General Douglas MacArthur's
reputation as soldier commands re-
spect for his predictions concerning the
sort of defense force that may be ex-
pected to protect the Philippine Islands
from invasion after the islands have at
tanned their independence as republic
-nine or ten years hence. But his plans,
nevertheless, are not easily reconciled
with economic realities which in other
quarters are considered as inevitable ac-
compartments of independence.
General Macarthur outlines to the
Associated Press his proposals for an
invasion proof" Philippine Islands after
1945, which include an offshore patrol
Of from fifty to one hundred small craft,
carrying eight-men crews and two tor
pedo tubes, capable Of high speed; a
two-hundred- -fifty-plane air force
and small standing army, backed by
10000 trained reserves. General Mac
Arthur counts on eight million dollars q
year for the next ten years and pre-
sumably more than that after inde-
pendence. How he proposes, with these
funds, to build up such a defense force
is not revealed. A Northumberland
hfty-plane air force, for instance, may
be compared with the present Army air
force Of the United States, consisting
Of about q thousand servceable planes,
with from one hundred and sixty-nine
to two hundred and eighty-five, depend
ing on who is making the estimate, con.
sidered fit for modern requirements.

Some Of the Senator's opponents,
while recognizing his record Of effective
opposition to the New Deal, say that he

too Intellectual and unbending to prove
attractive in campaign.
The well-authenticated story is that
Senator Vandenberg has had his eye on
the 1910 Republican nomination and
sought at first to stay out of the contest
this year, but now has been prevailed
upon to join the forces trying to block
the boom for the Kansas Governor.
The best guess is that he will have q
chance to try again.

Still a Patchwork.

The Senate committees last draft OF
the tax bill is probably more acceptable
than the clumsy and generally discred-
tied measure that came out of the House.
But at best it still represents patchwork,
rejecting desire on the part Of the
burdened Senators to have done with the
business and get away. Senator Robin
son now sees nothing in the present
legislative situation to prevent Congress
from adjourning June or June g."
Others might see a plenty. But the
chief urge now is to wind up in time
for the conventions and cut the tax
tailors in the seven legislative days that
remain under the administration pro-
gram.
Within this period there must be Sem
ate passage of tax bill against which
objection will still be lodged by the ad-
ministration stalwarts who want 1t more
nearly to reflect the Presidents proposals
and the proposals of the Presidents
Treasury advisers. And on top OF that
must be agreement between Senate and
House conferees on two bills that now
bear only faint family resemblance to
each other.
There does not remain the time, nor
is there the place, for submitting the
Senate proposals to the sort of open
hearing criticism from business and in
dustry that did so much to diScredlt
the House bill. But the Senate bill aims
at producing extra revenue by follow
ing the principle of boosting rates rather
than devising new schemes of tax re-
form.
Few, If any, new taxpayers will be
affected. The boost in surtax rates will
only affect the small proportion of per-
sonal income taxpayers whose taxable
incomes exceed six thousand dollars.
The new graduated corporation taxes
will hit harder, but not wider. Earnings
withheld from distribution will be taxed
at fiat rate of seven per cent and those
distributed in the form of dividends will
be subjected to new application of the
normal individual income rate of four
per cent. The 'windfall" tax on i'm
pounded processing taxes and the tariff
in-the-form- of f-a-tax on vegetable, fish
and animal oils conclude the list of
items from which the Treasury unofh-
cially estimates a yield of 10000, 900
In permanent revenues-about $870OO,-
600 less than the Senators estimate.
Senator Byrds statement of Thursday
showed that for the next fiscal year
the Governments ordinary and relief
expenditures-not including the cost Of
the S2,237,00O,000 bonus-will increase
about S6O0,OOO,0O0 over the expenditures
for the current fiscal year. The tax bill
might be considered, then, as barely
financing the ordinary increases in ex-
penditures over the past year, although
as a practical matter they will not be
so applied. But even if the new taxes
take care of the increased expenditures
in 1887 over 1886, the Government will,
from present estimates, still be spending
in 1887 over two billion dollars more than
it receives in revenue. 1t is not difficult
to understand the lack of confidence
in, and even the fear of, tax bill thrown
together in an election year, with one
respectful eye on the Presidents wishes
and another on the taxpaying voters so
soon to go to the polls.

Nor thinks Of How" or why"
But we, of human wisdom vast,

We have no songs. Our fears o'ercast
With shadows every place.

With 1ongings all intense,

lem to the individual States, under a

He voted against the Agricultural Ad-

dumping of surplus farm products abroad

Discs of yellow and white limestone are

The burying of such objects with a

effect: "You are not dead. You have
merely moved somewhere else" Out of
honor or friendship, then, all these trap

because Roosevelt sets human

opposition is natural; those who

power. Human progress is slow;
it comes only through the leader
