q great body Of young men and women
who, today. are regarding the church
critically and possibly ungenerously."
It was evident from the expressed
mind Of these young men that they
felt that the church Of their day was
giving forth an uncertain sound, not
only on this but on other matters that
have to do with their most immediate
interests. They fully recognize that the
voice Of the united church, Jewish,
Catholic and Protestant, would prove ir-
resistible in its influence and potential
ity. The impression I cleaned from
listening to these reflective and OPEN
minded young men was that they rep
resent a large and increasing group,
especially of young people. who today
are seeking leadership and direction.
pacifists. nor are they disloyal in any
degree to national ideals, but they con-
sistently demand that the institution
that they respect and reverence shall
give them some affirmation of its con-
viction.
The Master spoke of sheep without a
shepherd and repeatedly in His ministry
He spoke with authority and finality on
those great issues that concern human
happiness and peace. The church which
represents Him in the world of today
must reafirm both His authority and
His leadership in all that concerns the
interests Of His children. Wherever we
turn in the world today we find a sit
uation, especially among the youth, that
discloseS uncertainty on matters that
are vital to its largest and best in
terests. That the church may be the
conserver of all those things that have
to do with life. liberty and the pursuit
OF happiness. the high ends for which
all men strive. is demonstrably true.
but its leadership will not be recognized
until its ranks are consolidated about
standards and ideals that are unchal-
lenged and unchallengable and that
give it the right to proclaim in new and
certain terms the consistency of its
position, position sustained and but
tressed by the example and teaching of
its supreme Lord and Master.

LOOKING FOR LEADERSHIP
BY THE RIGHT FREEMAN, D, D., D. c. L,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

Sitting In with q group Of young COL
lege men who evidenced much concern
about the present world situation, was
deeply impressed by their confusion of
mind and their desire for leadership in
q world that has undergone vast and
far-reaching changes. These young
men were not pessimistic in their out
look, but were earnestly seeking for
light on pathways that seemed obscure
to their vision. They felt that on most
Of the great issues that most deeply con-
Germ them there was a lack of leader
ship that would give direction to their
thinking and fixity to their convictions.
Their main concern was for the mainte-
nance Of world order and peace. There
was nothing Of cowardice or a lack of
loyalty to national ideals in what they
said, but they felt deeply the failure of
the worlds leaders to profit by the
tragic experiences Of the great war.
They were loeth to believe that any large
and lasting values had accrued to this
great conflict, but that 1t had issued in
confusion worse confounded and left
the world in . condition bordering on
chaos.
What impressed me above all else in
their conversation was their desire to
see the church, as a corporate body, and
as q legitimate leader take some definite
and precise action. and that in a time
when leadership was sadly lacking.
They were reminded that in the last
great conflict the church was militant
and aggressive in pressing the claims of
war propaganda. 1t was evident that
this course had somewhat shattered
their confidence in its leadership. I'VE
shall be glad and ready to follow the
leadership of the church when its voice
speaks with no uncertain sound on mat
ters that concern an orderly and peace
full world" thus spoke one of the most
thoughtful Of these youths. I'VE believe
that the church is the one single
agency that has the power and the right
to give direction to the youth in an is

this direction comes 1t will reawaken
and reafiirm the loyalty and devotion of

The Case of Steve.

Mrs. Roosevelts intercession in behalf
Of Steve VaSilakos, whose peanut and
popcorn wagon happens to constitute a
traffic menace on East Executive avenue
and Pennsylvania avenue, is easy
enough to understand. There is some
thing appealing about a peanut and
popcorn vender, and there is something
particularly appealing about Steve. He
has become landmark and around him
a tradition is rapidly building. Once he
was known as the man who sold an
occasional bag Of peanuts to President.
Now he is known as the man who used
to chat with President Coolidge. Pretty
soon he will be pointed out as the phi
losopher, adviser and friend of Presi-
dents. who made 1t habit to consult
Steve before arriving at momentous de-
cisions affecting the future of the Ma
ton.
So when the police try to remove
Steve because he is traffic menace they
always run into stone wall of senti-
ment. Steve may be the popcorn vender
who sells peanuts to Presidents, but he
happens also to be just one of the 1887
licensed venders in Washington. If the
regulations are not to be enforced in the
case of Steve. they should also be waived
in the case of Steve's brethren, who
must keep on the move, park in specially
reserved areas or go to Police Court.
1ntercession from high authority in the
case of Steve strengthens Steve. But it
weakens the police and leaves the law
enforcing authorities pretty far out on
q limb.

Red Cross Roll Call.

The Star deems it a privilege to COM
mend to the attention of its readers the
fact that the annual roll call of the Dis
trict OF Columbia division of the Amer
lean Red Cross opens today. Obviously,
the time when it was necessary to argue
the merits of organized mercy has passed
The public is familiar with the humani-
tartan values represented in the work
founded by Clara Barton and carried on
since her death by others proud of the
opportunity to follow her example. All
that should be required in the circum-
stances is the announcement that old
members are invited to renew their allie
glance and new members are urged to
subscribe.
But perhaps it may not be amiss to
add one single thought-namely, that the
Red Cross will be effective in its labors
in direct ratio with the degree of public
support accorded it. The local chapter,
like the national institution of which 1t
is part, draws its resources from the
people of the community 1t is a volun-
teer enterprise, democratic in character.
No arbitrary boundaries Of race or class
or creed handicap its activities. Its
doctrine is service, and its method of
procedure is sheer practical altruism
generously, quickly and helpfully ex-
tended. Without trespassing in the
fields of other social agencies, it justi-
fies its existence whenever and wherever
an emergency develops. It's flood relief

The Final Drive.

The President has been partly In
earnest, partly facetious, in his talks to
reporters about when he would begin
his political" campaign. He was serious
in deprecating attempts to link his efforts
in drought relief, including his trip to
Des Moines, with politics. But when
newspaper men recently pressed him for
some commitment as to when he would
really take up politics he made some
laughing reference to the early part of
January, when Congress convenes.
From now until the election, however
it will be Simon-pure politics, as far as
the Presidents itinerary and speaking
engagements are concerned. Dams may
need dedicating, corner stones may be
laid, bottle of sparkling words may be
broken across the prov of some w. p. A.
project about to be launched-but such
vehicles will be used principally to carry
the President on campaign trip. An
nouncement of that trip came Friday,
following an imposing conference of the
Farley general staff at Hyde Park. The
President is going to deliver his hardest
blows in the industrial centers east of
the Mississippi, with one short dash as
far west as Denver. He is presumably
giving up any thought of trip to the
West Coast.
Starting Tuesday the President will
speak to the Democratic State Conven-
tion at Syracuse. Two days later he will
speak at Elkins, w. Va, and at Pitts
burgh. The day following he will attend
a world series game at New York. His
trip West, few days later, will include
speeches in Chicago, Detroit, Denver,
Omaha, and on his way back he will stop
| either in Worcester or Springfield for a
message to New England. His plans
are now to wind up the campaign with
a speech in Madison Square Garden.
To have confined political campaign
for reelection to trip Of this sort would
have been rather bold. If confident,
gesture. But, of course, the President s
campaign started long ago and that
phase which begins this week is merely
the final drive. The President has been
active politically in word as we'll as deed
all Summer. He has covered q lot of
territory-more than his opponent. His
visit to the centennial exposition in
Texas took him to Little Rock, Dallas
Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, with
briefer stops In half dozen States on
his way home. His inspection of the
flood control work in Pennsylvania and
New England gave him the chance to
talk to thousands, and in his drought
inspection tour he visited ten of the
Northwestern and Middle Western
States. His desire to see the Great
Smokes brought him, happily enough, to
Charlotte, where he led Democratic
rally through the green pastures, beside
the still waters.
The President Is making his final drive
in the territory which probably holds his
fate as candidate for re-election-Penn-
sylvania, Michigan, Illinois, New York
and the Northeast. II up to this time he
has been active as President who is also
candidate, from now on he may be
regarded as candidate who is also the
President.

Defense HIGHWAY.

The inadequacies of the Defense High
way approach to the Capital City have
long been a source of irritation and
hazards to local motorists. In ugly con-
trast to the wide sweep Of the Mount
Vernon Highway are the 26 miles of
winding, narrow road which link Wash
ington and Annapolis.
Many are the District drivers who have
been caught in the impasse of automo-
biles blocking trafac at this end of the
thoroughfare, where the Defense High
way line of cars must intercept the heavy
how on the Washington Baltimore
Boulevard at the Bladensburg Peace
Cross. Chafing at the delay as they
literally inch their homeward way from
Annapolis and Chesapeake Bay resorts in
Spring, Summer and Fall, Washingto-
mans have fumed in vain. The inter-
section is in Maryland territory. Only
the State Roads Commission can solve
the problem.
Expressed during a recent conference
with Keystone Automobile Club oficials,
the attitude Of Nathan Smith, chief
engineer of the commission, has given
Capital motorists new hope. He is now
considering Keystone plan to construct
trafic islands at the Peace Cross, a pro-
posal which promises to hasten car
movement through that troublesome in
tersection. The project would cost the
State of Maryland only an estimated
$7,120.
Mr.. Smith declared that he was hope
full" the plan would be adopted. Al
though technically only an agent of the
board, he is an expert on highway prob
lens and 1t is known that his opinions
are highly regarded by the commission

For Peace and Prosperity.

For the great masses of the people of
the three countries concerned, the i'm
portance of the monetary triple alliance
into which France, Great Britain and the
United States have just entered lies in
Its broad international implications
rather than in any merely fiscal results
1t may produce. That is the aspect of
the agreement that far outStrips any
immediate influence upon the franc, the
gold standard or even the correlated
status of the dollar and the pound
sterling.
In announcing the plan, Secretary
Morgenthau Is at pains to stress its true
inwardness. He terms it nothing less
than the turning point for general peace
in the world" Sterilization of world
currencies he points out, lis founda-
ton that had first to be built before we
could look forward to lasting peace and
real recovery in world trade Apart
from the fundamental currency questions
involved, the prospect that the gentle
mems agreement will lead to gradual
relaxation of trade quotas and exchange
controls Is not its least commendable
feature. Throughout the postwar pc
riod these artificial barriers to the flow
of international commerce have not only
seriously hampered business everywhere,
but aggravated political relations and
played an appreciable part in fostering
war psychology. The French, British and
American governments have therefore
struck a powerful blow alike for pros
perity and peace.
There is yet another phase of the
transaction which clothes it with vast
significance. 1t is a deal among the
worlds outstanding democracies, as well
rs among its three wealthiest nations. 1t
is consummated at moment which finds
relationships riding at high tide as the
result of recent conquests in many fields,
both diplomatic and military. There is,
Of course, not the slightest suggestion
that France, Great Britain and the
United States are pooling their resources
or planning common action for aggres-
sive purposes of any sort. What they
have formed is first and last nothing
but q defensive alliance against none
tary and economic dangers that may
threaten from any quarter Notwith-
standing the non-political character of
the understanding-whic as Mr.. Nor
genthau emphasizes, gains rather than
loses through the fact that its under
takings are rooted exclusively in mutual
faith-the agreement serves notice that
the worlds pre-eminent democracies
stand shoulder to shoulder for the safe
guarding of vital common interests That
Is demonstration not likely to be under
estimated or misunderstood in either
Fascist Rome or Nazi Berlin.
From the purely American standpoint,
this remains to be said. The agreement,
in the first place, makes practical, If
tardy, amends for our failure to CO.
operate in world stabilization in 1888
In the second place. the United States
reveals in substantial fashion its readi-
ness to pull its mighty weight in the
international economic boat. CHARGES of
isolation" and self-centeredness. so
tenaciously leveled against this country
across the Atlantic, are now robbed of
much, If not all, of their justification.
