Brussels Conference of Nine
Power Pact To Move
Determinedly for
Mediation
TO COMMENT LATER
ON STOCK DECLINE
President Tells Correspond
ents ''To Wait and See His
Messages to legislature;
New York Bank Head
Blames Federal Regulation
for Slump

Hyde Park, N Y, Oct. Is (AP)-
President Roosevelt said in substance
today an attempt at Mediation of the
Sino-Japanese conflict would be the
first step considered by the confer
ence at Brussels of the nine-power
treaty signatories, including the Unit
ed States.
Asked at press conference if med
iation was a fair assumption to be
drawn from his "fireside" radio speech
last Tuesday night, the president re-
marked he had said that in so many
words.
While refusing comment on the
stock market decline, he indicated he
might have something to say on the
subject in a general way in his mes
sage to the special and regular SEES
sions of Congress. Asked if the mar
ket developments were bothering him,
he told his inquirer to wait and see
his message to the legislature.
He would not comment on the
speech yesterday of Winthrop Aid
rich, president of the Chase National
Bank, blaming the drop in securities
value on Federal regulation and urg-
ing revision Of the capital gains and
income surtax rates.
On the foreign situation, he said 1t
was mere guesswork as to what the
United States would do in the future.
Asked what would follow if media
ton efforts in the Sino-Japanese un-
declared war failed, he said that was
an "if" question.

He being dead, yet speaketh," was
written of one of old. It Is true that
now and again some strong and COM
pelling personality passes along the way,
lives his life in the full glare OF the
world and passes on. When his latest
word Is spoken or written, men linger
over 1t and give to 1t peculiar distinc-
ton We remember the last words OF
Cecil Rhodes, king OF the diamond
mines"-"So much to do, so little done"
They are the sad lament of one stricken
down in the prime of life. Such words
are remembered because they illustrate
the futility of mere acquired riches,
nothing else.
This year we are remembering one,
the anniversary Of whose birth hun
dred years ago was an event of world
wide significance. This child was born
into obscurity, like so many Of his kind.
Nothing In early life arrested or chal-
lenged the interest of his fellows. There
were no days of brilliant academic
attainments, no praise of faculties, no
high honors on the day of graduation.
The life Of this youth might be ex-
pressed in single line of the poet,
namely, "the short and simple annal OF
the poor" Within the soul OF this
youth burned a flame that was destined
to glow with such power and with such
effulgence that ultimately 1t was to
command the attention of men the world
over. The name OF this remarkable
man was Dwight Lyman Moody. For
few years his person and his voice
occupied small area of influence. He
lived in an age of great orators and
he claimed none Of the gifts or virtues
Of the masters of the platform. His
message was simple one, but behind
it resided conviction that was alto
gether compelling. He began his public
career in small and obscure places.
but everywhere he went he literally
ploughed up the souls of men and made
them think, think OF things to which
they had hitherto been indifferent. In
my youth fell under the spell OF this
man, saw and experienced the strange
influence he exercised over vast multi
tudes. I saw him come to such COM
manding power that it literally took
part of the police force Of New
York to keep in check the great multi
tudes that thronged and overtaxed the
largest auditoriums Of that great city
1t is safe to say that no political speaker
Of his generation, however famous, COM
manded such multtudes and for such

long and consecutive periods as did
Mr.. Moody In London it was the same,
and it ives in London that a careless
passerby, a physician of local fame
namely one, Wilfred Grenfell, caught
his first real vision OF life and started
on a career that has made him famous
as one OF the worlds benefactors. Every
part of the world responded to him,
and why2 Because he had what the
late DR.. Jowett called "a passion for
souls" He literally compelled men and
women by the irresistible power OF his
own mighty faith. 1 have heard him say
that which was quite commonplace, an
expression that, on other lips would pass
unnoticed and I have seen it so AFFECT
an audience Of thousands that they
were as plastic clay in his hands. He
was the very embodiment Of the mes
sage he brought, in real sense he might
have said with John, the forerunner OF
Christ: II am the voice OF one"
Experienced preachers tried to analyze
his gifts and to define his genius, but
they could not. So great became his
place and power that he came ultimately
to be called: THE greatest evangelist
since St. Paul" He was known and
loved Of every preacher In the world
and the results Of his ministry no
statistician could record. He was just
Dwight L. Moody, evangelist, by the
grace OF God.
One evening at East Northfield, Mass,
where he built a vast institution for
Christian learning, 1 stood with his
eldest son, the late beloved will"
Moody, before a simple granite slab
that marks his resting place. 1t was
sunset and the shadows OF the eve
ming hour were falling. We stood silent
and uncovered, and as l read the in
scription on the stone, 1 saw in the
fading light this name: Dwight Lyman
Moody" and underneath this simple in
scription: He that doeth the will Of
God abideth forever" I doubt not it
was the inscription he himself had
chosen. AS l reflected upon his
extraordinary life and then recalled
the worldwide extent OF his ministry.
I could not but contrast his enduring
influence with that of other famous men
Of his generation. The comparison gave
him a transcendent place, 1t was
veritably true that: He that doeth the
will Of God abideth forever Dwight
Lyman Moody was alive forevermore,
and his mighty message was still march
ing on.

Organized Base Ball.

"Organized base ball." as the so-called
national sport Of America, played for
the public entertainment, has come to
be known, may become the object OF
anti trust proceedings. A member OF
the House of Representatives has called
upon the Attorney General to start
action against the owners of the clubs
of the professional leagues on the ground
that they are operating monopoly in
restraint Of trade. He contends that the
contracts under which the players are
bound to their respective clubs and
leagues make it possible for the mag
mates owning the clubs to dictate and
impose upon the players such terms as
they desire.
Whether q sport conducted for the
public amusement can be regarded as q
trade" is a question. The game is not
a public necessity, however greatly 1t
may serve the public as an entertain
ment. 1t is not like the manufacture OF
motor cars, or the furnishing Of trans
portation. It is wholly in the category
of diversion. True, the players sell their
services to the clubs, and the clubs sell
the games to the public. In that sense
it is a matter of bargain and sale, as
between the clubs and the players. 1t
has become one Of the largest business
enterprises in the country, and mainly

that Government purchases through P.
w. A. have had much effect. And II
they have little effect, the Presidents
statement will act as q mere temporary
depressant and prices will continue to
rise.
Chairman Eccles Of the Federal Re-
serve Board only recently warned against
a price imitation, but his remedies did not
include a halt of Government purchases
through P. w. AS activities-which have
already been scaled down. The best
curb on rising prices lies in increased pro-
duction, and productions In the heavy
industries generally has Jagged behind
others in the recovery now taking place.
Chairman Eccles laid great stress on bal
ancing the budget, which might be in
terpreted to mean diminished eXpendi-
lures. The President, on the other hand,
seems to emphasize one sort of Govern
ment spending over the other, but says
nothing about diminishing Government
expenditures as whole.
Up to a short time ago everybody was
bemoaning the hardness with which the
durable goods industries were responding
to recovery. Even now these industries
are far from production peaks, although
the prices of metals have shot up rapidly
in a short period of time. The building
boom which has been sought as desir-
able, for instance, seems still to be just
around the corner
Evening star., 1937-04-04

because of the restraint upon the indi-
vidual freedom of bargaining on the part
of the performers.
That restraint is necessary in order
to maintain the sport upon the plane
of active competition, which is the fun
come to be recognized that there is
wide difference between what is known
as base ball law" and common law or
statutory law. A code of law peculiar to
the sport has come into existence, and
the result is an annual series Of con-
tests between teams representing various
cities in several circuits, two major and
others minor drawing millions of people
to the gates and affording high scale
of compensation for men who in other
circumstances could not gain anything
like as rich reward for their services.
A change In the system of league Or
ganization and club management would
lead to chaos. The annual disputations
over contracts, with players threatened
with exclusion from the sport If they
do not accept the terms of the club
owners, are of small Importance as COM
pared with the effect of the hold-outs
and desertions that would result from
the subjection of the sport to the rules
Of law that govern in the relations Of
workers and their employers in CONNER
cial and industrial lines.
The general public, which maintains
the sport by its patronage and which in
turn enjoys the contests between the
clubs during the playing season, has
never felt that the private laws that
govern the sport work hardship upon
either the players or the patrons of the
game. On the contrary, it is recognized
that while there may be injustice in a
few cases each season in the writing Of
the contracts between players and clubs
the net result Of this system is livelier
sport and better entertainment than
If the code Of business relations that
obtains in commercial affairs were
applied.
