Of the Presidents legal advisers assert
that the Supreme Court majority has
evolved formula for reviving the tariff
wars between the States that the Con-

idea is that way has been found to

modern author has said that "the
need OF the world today is a religious
need. Consciously or unconsciously, all
our thought, our art, our literature are
impoverished by the lack of any positive
and fundamental belief with which they
can confront, on equal terms, the vast
universe opened up to them by modern
science" He further says: "By a great
part OF the modern world the historic
religion Of Christendom has been not so
much abandoned as allowed to lapse"
The writer himself wrote his splendid
book, "The Unknown God" because he
had sustained in his life the kind of
lapse OF which he writes. 1t was only
when he sternly addressed himself to
the reasons for his religious faith that
he came to defniteness Of conviction and
a clearer understanding Of what this
faith meant to him.
st. Paul, the early intellectual leader
OF the church and a convert to the
Christian cause, was able to affirm: Il
know whom have believed" and again,
Il live, yet not I but Christ liveth in
me-" 1t was this reasoned faith that
armed him to meet all opposition to
surmount all trials and ultimately to
face martyrdom. To have reasonable,
religious and holy hope" demands both
study and reflection. 1t means some
thing more than pious or even reverent
recognition of religious practice. To use
the language of St. Paul, it means pray
ing and singing with the heart, and
with the understanding also.
One Of the greatest scientists of our
day once said to me that 30 years in
the laboratory had but served to confirm
in his mind the faith he learned as a
child at his mothers knee. He had full
filled the precept: BE ready always to
give to every man that asketh you a rea-
son of the hope that is in you"

Base Ball Not 'sCOmmerce''

A move recently made to bring about
an investigation as to the legality Of
the organization Of professional base ball
clubs into CLOSED" circuits, on the
ground that they are illegal monopolies,
has been halted by the discovery Of a
Supreme Court opinion, rendered
number Of years ago. This find was
made by Department Of Justice officials
upon an examination Of records after a
member Of the House Of Representatives
had written to the Attorney General
charging that the club owners had
compact to the effect that none would
hire player unable to reach an agree
ment with the club with which he had
been playing; in other words, that q
"hold-out" was barred from taking serv-
ice with another club.
This practice, 1t was urged, constituted
monopoly, In contravention Of the
Sherman antitrust act. It was stigma
tized as restraint of trade" The
Attorney General was asked to institute
proceedings to break up the monopoly"
Before acting, however, the Attorney
General had the records searched, and
discovery was made Of an opinion given
by the Supreme Court, through the late
Justice Holmes, which sustained an ap-
pellate court decision which in turn
had reversed an award In the lower court
of q Judgment for $2x0, 900 to the Federal
base ball club Of Baltimore, which had
sued the American and National leagues

Mysterious Dollar.
What is a dollar?" I heard a man say.
Is 1t only badge to be put on display?
Is it something to gain? Is it some
thing to give?
Is it something for which men may
die or may live?
Is 1t something to honor or something
to fear,
A deserter in grief, though friend in
good cheer;
A sunbeam whose light is so steady
and true,
Or a Will o the Wisp that we vainly
pursue?
What is dollar7 It's cabbage and meat,
It's . coat for the back and shoes for

On the dollar that works we respect

But dollars small help when it trines

Belgium Chooses.

AS the result OF parliamentary by.
election in Brussels today, the voters
OF King Leopolds capital will pronounce
a verdict destined to go far toward de-
termining whether Belgium is to remain
sturdy outpost of democracy in West
ern Europe or be submerged by the
Fascist wave which has engulfed Italy
and Germany, threatens Spain and i'm
perils representative government else
where. AS an indication of the gravity
OF the issue presented by the Rexist
party and its leader, Leon Degrelle, both
avowedly Fascist in purpose, the Belgian
premier, Paul Van iceland, boldly in
sisted upon riSking his safe tenure as
head Of the government and entering
the lists with M. Deg1elle for decisive
trial OF strength in the most conspicuous
parliamentary district of the kingdom.
All concerned, including the nation at
large, are aware Of the vital things that
are at stake and of the contests far
reaching effect upon the Belgian political
system. II the Rexists triumph the pros
pect of totalitarian regime of Italo-
German pattern will be brought un-
comfortably nearer.
Though Premier Van iceland is not
member of Parliament, or actively
identified with any political party, he VOL
unfairly accepted NJ Degrelle's challenge,
even in the face of the ReXists' capture
OF twenty-five seats at last years general
election. The premier, Princeton edu-
Gated and banker by profession, goes to
the polls with the support of Socialist,
Catholic and Liberal elements compris-
ing a so-called National Concentration
group. His campaign was based on the
claim that the Rexists would not only
undermine democratic government and
conclude an unholy partnership with
foreign Fascism, especially Hitlerism, but
would also pave the way to Belgian
separatism by widening the century old
breach between Walloons and Flemings
recently NJ Degrelle negotiated an agree
ment between the Flemings and the
Rexist party. II the latter comes to
power it promises instruction in Flemish
in schools in Flemish territory, French
instruction in Walloon territory and a
combination of both languages in Brus-
sells, where the population is about
equally divided. The deal is bitterly
opposed by the Van Zeelandites, because
it would aggravate an ancient contro-
versy that is gradually tending to dis
appear
Both the premier and his aggressive
young opponent enjoy great personal
popularity AS the end of their bitter
duel approached. the outcome seemed
in doubt. But on the eve of election
Cardinal Van Roey, Primate OF Belgium,
in a formal statement, branded the
Rexist party a danger to Belgium, and
advised all loyal Catholics that their
duty today is clear-to cast anti-Fascist
votes Neutral observers believe that the
prelate's eleventh hour manifesto seals
M. pegrelle's doom, and that Belgian
democracy, at least for the time being,
will be rescued from the menace Of
Fascism disguised as Rexism.

GIVING A REASON
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D. D. L. D. D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

Are we governed by our emotions on
by our reason? When we come to ex-
anime the motives that govern us in any
given course OF action we are often
amazed to find how frequently we act
on impulse. II asked to give a reason
for the principles we hold and espouse,
we frequently find ourselves incapable of
doing so. Mob or mass psychology plays
q large part in the judgments we express.
10 weigh and appraise the values OF
any given course Of action is practice
in which we rarely indulge. AS a result
OF this we find ourselves at times en-
barraSsed by our too dogmatic pro-
nouncements or by the course we pursue
under given circumstances. It is widely
maintained that our religious convic-
tions as well as our expressed faith have
their genesis In the emotions What we
do and what we hold of faith proceed
from our feelings, and our feelings re-
spond IN large part to those who by
precept and example govern us in our
thinking.
One Of the early writer's OF the Chris
tan church, namely, st. Peter, in writ
Ing to his young disciples, said BE
ready always to give to every man that
asketh you a reason of the hope that
is in YOU" He was seeking to strengthen
his followers by having them weigh, and
weigh consistently, their religious beliefs;
to stabilize themselves through an ex-
preston OF faith based on reason rather
than on the emotions or feelings. His
commendation of reasoned faith is
one that we sorely need today II we are
to meet the many attacks that are made
upon our religious beliefs and practices
There is much that is colorless and
f1abby and unreliable in the religious be-
hefs OF our modern age, resulting in in
stability and often in apostasy.

for damages alleged to have been suf-
fered when the Federal League dis
banded in 1915.
The Supreme Courts decision was to
the effect that while base ball players
crossed State lines to visit various cities,
this did not constitute interstate COM
merce. In his opinion Justice Holmes
compared base ball players to travelling
lawyers and lecturers. He said that "a
firm Of lawyers sending out member
to argue a case, or the Chautauqua lee
ture bureau sending out lecturers, does
not engage in such commerce because
the lawyer or the lecturer goes to another
State"
This probably ends the effort to bring
organized base ball under the ban of the
law. While 1t might be that under a
"reorganized" court, such as is proposed
at present, a different judgment would
be rendered. If a test case were insti-
tuted. the principle upon which the de-
cision given by Justice Holmes stands:
and 1t is altogether likely that 1t would
be accepted by "rejuvenated" court as
sound law. Base ball games are not q
public necessity. They are a form Of en-
tertainment, however organized. They
have become great business enterprise,
involving millions OF dollars in equip
ment and In pay rolls. But they are not
to be classed in the category of the man.
ufacture Of articles of trade or in trans
portation of goods across State lines.
There was probably no anxiety on the
part OF the magnates or the PLAYERS
and the players themselves would have
suffered severely in any enforcement of
the antitrust laws under the invocation
OF the courts restraint-but this discov-
cry Of determining decision effectually
quiets any fears of legal Intervention the
effect OF which would have been to
destroy a system of sport organization
that gives profitable employment to
many hundreds of performers and en-
1oyment to millions OF spectators.

This method is being urged as an effec-

A. A. A. on q Statewide basis, thereby
avoiding some of the difficulties of ma

A Job for Windsor
Cincinnati Enouirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
The report that the British Cabinet is considering
the appointment of the Duke of Windsor Viceroy
OF India is an intriguing one. 1t is obvious at the
outset that the Duke does not have as high quaf-
cations for the post the present Viceroy the Marquis
of Linlithgow Nor would he have the discernment
that outstanding figure Lord Irwin whose service as
Viceroy years ago marked new epoch in Anglo
Indian relations.
But the office is certainly the most logical if
the real rulers of the British Empire want put the
Duke to work. 1t is above all office of prestige
carrying honor second only to that of the King
Emperor. 1t is also post susceptible of valuable
use by anyone who has genuine interest in lettering
the conditions of life for multitude by action from
above
Usually the place has been occupied by men ex-
perienced in government though not unusually we'll
informed concerning India Its occupant always relies
largely on the Judgment of his subordinates, who
IN the aggregate the most capable body of civil
ants to be found anywhere in the world And to the
extent that the regime of partial sef-government
works successfully the Viceroys task will be less oner
GUS than heretofore
The suspicion remains that if the British Cabinet
is considering the Duke of Windsor for this office
it is doing to keep him occupied and at distance
from England. No matter how admirable his inten-
tons how firm his restraint the Duke is nescapa-
bly, political factor in Great Britain and a disturb
ing one In India he would find an outlet for his
energies, and throne only second to the one he
gave up for American woman The appointment

ALASKA'S NEED-PEOPLE

In his annual report to Interior Secretary Harold
L. Ickes Gov. John W. Troy has again put the finger
on Alaska's greatest need-that of population AS the
force OF numbers conquered the old west and brought
rise of industrial cities and agricultural development
in what was vast wilderness, the force of num-
bers and will develop the north The major pur-
pose is to keep that tide of empire moving north
ward and develop the natural resources of the Ter
ritory to maintain it,
In his report, the Governor paints the whole
picture and points out how that increased population
be encouraged and perpetuated in the Territory
it arrives. He recommends the further establishment
OF agricultural colonies but, more important he urges
that system of aiding settlers who to the Ter
ritory of their voltion to follow agricultural
pursuits be established
There's the kernel in the nut that we think has
been too much overlooked The people who come to
Alaska on their hook to seek opportunity are
usually persons of ambition and determination 1t
takes something in the way of courage to break the
ties in the States and come to land to establish
home, with nothing much but strong back and a
pair of willing hands with which to do it. Those
kind of people are usually the kind which stick and
make go of it. More and more of that caliber of in
dviduals are coming north and they should be en-
couraged in every way possible Agricultural colonies
such as the Matanuska, create desire and they are
meriorous but if plan of helping those settlers who
come of their own voton to make homes in Alaska
can be undertaken it will have far-reaching effect
in increasing the permanent population of the Ter
rtory.
The Governor suggests pulp and paper mills. He
points out that two large paper mills in Southeast
Alaska would add five thousand to ten thousand to
the population of this section and as a result would
encourage development in all lines of business
Then he stresses that all important matter of
transportation That is Alaskas life line. Unless
transportation facilities continually be improved
and enlarged population will increase but slowly if
at all, and expanding industry will be throttled
The Chief Executive recommends two major under
takngs in this connection-construction of an inter-
national highway through British Columbia and Yu-
kon Territory and further development of air travel
by construction of additional arpors and establish
ment OF regularly scheduled air routes
These are the things which must be encouraged
il Alaska is to go forward-agricutural settlement
industrial growth which includes fishing and mining
plants and transportation to serve
They are the only means of getting a large per-
'nanent population, and the Governor said in his
eport Alaska's great need is popuation-people
