SOVIET PURCHASES
GET j. s. SANCTION
State Department Lifts Oh.
jeCtions to Procurement
of Armament.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States Government has
sanctioned the purchase by Soviet
Russia in this country Of materials
and guns for construction Of one or
more modern battleships.
This was disclosed yesterday in
State Department statistics showing
licenses were issued in September per-
nitting the export to Russia OF war
supplies valued at 100000 900.
More than half this sum repre-
sented purchases of armor plate,
which will go into construction Of the
floating fortresses in the Soviet
Union Since the s5,275,10 thus allo-
Gated is only a small part Of the total
cost of 35000-ton super-dread-
naught, it is expected that other pur-
chases Of similar nature will follow
Early Objections Lifted.
officials disclosed that earlier OBJ
jections raised by the State Depart
ment to Soviet orders in this country
for 16-inch guns to be mounted on
the battleships have been lifted. This
clears the way for purchase Of such
weapons here if arrangements can be
made with private manufacturers to
turn them out.
Arrnor plate, guns and other equip
ment necessary in construction Of war
vessels are listed officially as arms
ammunition and implements of war,
the export of which is subject to Ii
cense by the State Department.
Munitions Control Board
The heavy Russian purchases boosted
the total expenditures by all nations
for war supplies in this country dur
ing September to $18,089, ,537-the
largest since the Government assumed
control over such exports.
Contributing substantially to this
total were China, with purchases OF
$1,000, ,099, chiefly bombs and other
large missiles; Argentina, with pur-
chases of ST ,492,39l, mainly military
aircraft, and Rumania, with $1,216,-
100, most of which also was fol
bombs.
State Department Objected.
When the Soviet government first
proposed to buy American materials
and weapons for battleships to be as
sembled in the Bolshevik state, the
State Department interposed objec-
tions on the ground 1t would contra
vene current United States policy for
private manufacturers to supply guns
Of 16-inch caliber as specified in the
original Soviet inquiry.
The United States and Great Brit
ain still were engaged at the time in
negotiations looking toward accept
ance by Japan of an international
agreement to limit naval armament
to 14-inch rifles. Subsequently, these
negotiations proved unsuccessful,
thereby removing the reason given for
this Governments objection.
Originally, the State Department
also refused categorically a Soviet
proposal that the heavy guns it pur-
chased in this country should be
tested by the United States Navy
before final acceptance 1t was made
plain today that that refusal still
stands and it was assumed that the
Soviet government had dropped that
point. y

In the light OF the unfolding de-
velopments in the Far East. the Gov
ernment Of the United States has
been forced to the conclusion that the
action Of Japan in China is incon-
sistent with the principles which
should govern the relationships be-
tween nations and is contrary TO the
provisions Of the nine-power treaty
Of February 6, 1922. regarding princi-
plies and policies to be followed in
matters concerning China. and to
those of the Kellogg BRAND pact of
August 81, 1928. Thus the conclusions
Of this Government with respect to
the foregoing are in general accord
with those of the Assembly OF the
League of Nations.

Father. and was manifested unto us.
The Disciples Fellowship.
Our Lords eternal fellowship with
his Father. which he extended to in
clude his first disciples is still fur
her broadened to include all who wi"
accept it through faith N him. THAT
We also may have fellowship with us;
yea. and our fellowship is with the
Father. and with his Son Jesus
Christ" The privilege of such Eel
lowship should move us to want to Ill
ourselves for it by bringing our lives
into harmony with the Divine: In
him is no darkness at all. If we say
that we have fellowship with him and
walk in the darkness, we lie. and dc
not the truth: but if we walk IN the
light, as he is in the light. we nave
fellowship one with another, and the
Stood of Jesus his Son cleanseth US
from all sin" Continual striving after
holiness must result from our desire
for fellowship with God. to be with
him is to be like him. Fellowship pc
gets likeness. Light has an affinity
for light and darkness for darkness.
Fellowship with the good will streng-
then the good within us. So CHRIST
established his church for the streng-
.henine effect of it's fellowship upon
his disciples. Together the Goals burn
with light and warmth, While scat
tered to themselves the fire goes out.
Death does not destroy this fellow
ship. 1t persists beyond the grave in
the church triumphant: HE shall
dwell with thera, and they shall be
his peoples, and God himself shall be
with them, and be their God; and he
shall wipe away every tear from their
eyes; and death shall be no more;
neither shall there be mourning, nor
crying, nor pain, any more: the first
things are passed away. Behold, l

AIRPLANE STOCKS
LEAD TODAY'S LIST

New York, Dec. 11.-(AP)-Spurred
by a call for bids on a new fleet Of
huge transatlantic passenger planes,
airplane stocks held most of the buy
ing attention in today's market.
Boeing, Douglas, Consolidated, Unit
ed and Glenn Martin set up as much
as two points or more on the belief
that several million dollars would
be spent on building the ocean flyers.
While a few steel rails and spe-
cialties displayed mild recovery ten
dencies many leaders were unable to
get into forward stride, and there was
a wide assortment of fractional losers
at the close. Dealing were quiet thro-

can depend on him.
Does He Know Channel?
In short, the national pilot, in Con-
gress' opinion, is trying to steer
course of which he is none too sure.
The old-time Mississippi river
helmsman kept himself pretty well in
formed as to the channel ahead. He
knew of impending snags and bars
and swung his wheel cleverly around
them. But if he had no notion what
was coming, he was likely to pile up
on one of these distractions; at least
to miss them only by bee's-knee,
keeping all on board constantly in a
twitter.
The administrations congressional
crew surmimes that Eliot Roosevelt is
unfamiliar with his channel-brlefly,
that he hasn't a clean-cut govern
ment philosophy, but everlastingly is
guessing.
Politicians Frightened.
Indeed, he has said so; has declared
for a policy of experimentation.
Few politicians like this, as a re-
gular thing. First the leftist bunch
are gratified at each leftward twirl
of the wheel, but the rightlsts a:e
terrified. Then there is a twist to the
right and the .leftists boiler. Finally
both groups decide that the whole
thing is wobbly and mutually are
scared.
Politico-economists are not expert
mentalists; they are one way or the
other.
All that Pilot Roosevelt has back
of him is a little crew of do-or-die
New Dealers-and even they are
scary.
Wouldn't it give anyone a tooth
ache?

Mark Twain had a letter from one
of the subscribers to a paper he
edited saying he had found a spider
in his paper and he wanted to know
whether it was sign of good luck or
bad. Mark Twain replied: Finding a
spider in your paper was neither good
luck nor bad luck for you. The spider
was merely looking over our paper
to see which merchant is not adver-
Using, SO that he could go to that
