many others; only toward the close
of the last month of the year did
the legitimist government forces score
a triumph-that of the capture OF
Teruel; it was important because il
makes still more unlikely the rebel
conquest of Madrid.
The efforts of an international non
Intervention committee to confine the
war to Spain were, to certain ex-
tent, successful; that is, no new war
fare has broken out because of the
Spanish conflict. Largely speaking
however, the goal was not reached
for no effective step was taken to-
ward recalling from Spain the thou
sands of volunteers from foreign
countries, and as long as they re-
main, there will be potential dan
ger of international war.
Just about on the date when the
Spanish civil war was a year old,
a very serious conflict broke out be-
tween China and Japan-an ostensible
cause of it being the alleged Chinese
firing on japanese troops practising
war-games in Chinese territory; huge
Japanese armies were sent to China
and week after week bulletins indi-
Gated tremendous Chinese losses to
the invaders; Shanghai fell, Marking
fell, nearly all of North China be-
came-at least, for the time being
japanese possessions. AS the year
ends, there are indications that Japan
will encroach also on southern Chi
nese soil.
Since 1922 a nine-power treaty
had, theoretically, guaranteed the ma
tional independence of China; to dis
cuss that matter, conference was
called at Brussels and nothing-ab-
Solutely nothing!-came of it. China S
dismemberment seems to proceed
with the tacit consent of those pow
ers who had pledged themselves to
prevent it.

and machine-gun armed motor
launches shelled and sank an Amer
lean gunboat, the Panay, and hectic
diplomatic correspondence between
Washington and Tokyo developed.
About the main facts of the incident
there was general agreement, but
there was serious discrepancy in
the reports concerning the methods
of the attack, the japanese maintain
ing that it was due to a deplorable
accident, the American naval officials
and other eyewitnesSes asserting that
it was deliberate. However, in view
of the fact that the japanese gov
eminent finally assumed full respon-
sibility for the incident and pledged
non-repetition of it, America accepted
the japanese apology, explanation
and promise of indemnity.
Russian Purge.
During the year many eyes were
directed toward the Russian Soviet
republics where it appeared that the
government was conducting polit-
ical reform movement which took the
form of extirpating summary
executions-all individuals who were
alleged to have conspired against
or otherwise obstructed- Moscow; to
the amaZement of the world some of
the most outstanding generals and
diplomats of the Soviets were found
guilty and shot. 1t is thought that
between 1900 and 1000 political
offenders were executed during the
last twelvemonth, but no one, out
side the inner circles at the Kremlin,
appears to have exact statistics or
other data.
One step ahead in a democratic
direction was marked by the first
general election ever held under the
new Soviet constitution (of 1886; in
practice it did not mean as much
as it would have done if more than
one party had been officially recog-
niZed, but whatever importance it
may have lies in the fact that for
the first time since the establishment
of modern Russia the people were
consulted, even though it was in a
somewhat cursory manner. -
And so the Old Year GIBBS out
like all its predecessors, with a ques-
ton posed: What will the next bring
a world filled with worries and anx-
ietieS?

The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Practically all symbolic pictures of
the passing of the old year and the
arrival of the new feature a small
child taking the place of tottering
gray-beard. The symbolism is apt
and applicable, and yet it contains an
element which is utterly wrong.
The life of a person from infancy
to the grave is a thing complete
in itself. Although it inherits many
values or burdens and leaves its
mark upon posterity, it nevertheless
forms one independent unit. A year
is not like this. It is always only
a moment which reaps the harvest
of moments gone by and which sows
seed for future harvests.
We can argue-and correctly-that
human being can only live in con-
tact and fellowship with others and
that human soul is lost without re-
lationship to the encompassing real
ity of God, yet this does not alter
the fact that each individual has an
Independent purpose with which we
must not analogue any unit of time.
A year has no independent purpose.
Time continues uninterruptedly.
If we consider year as a COM
plete Independent unit, we will suffer
for our shortsightedness The bust
ness man who aims to close his books
for the year with a favorable bal
ance does not do SO at the expense
of the next years status. If we
from now on live with only 1888 in
view, we will sometime pay penalty.
And if although we consider
our life an Independent unit-be-
come enough unto ourselves and fail
to give ourselves into the service of
God in His world, we will suffer
the consequences.

Split i'm British Labor.

Stanley Baldwin operates under q
lucky star. Only few months ago.
virtually until the abdication crisis, his
oficial days seemed numbered. King
Edwards prospective coronation was
fixed as the outside limit of the Baldwin
tenure. The prime minister emerged
from the constitutional turmoil with
rehabilitated prestige. Now comes an
other development designed indefinitely
to prolong the Conservative govern
ments life-a split within the ranks of
the Labor party, "his majesty's loyal
opposition" Disruption is the result of
decision by the Socialist League, led
by Sir Stafford Cripps. the Independent
Labor party and the Communist group
to join forces for creation of a popular
front on French lines, which would chal-
lenge the Parliamentary Labor party.
The issue is thus Joined between the
