AuStere Rites at Vatican.

VATICAN CITY. April Is tP,.-The
erucifiXlon and death of the Redeemer
and the confusion of nature at his
passing-were symbolized today in
sustere ceremonies in the capital of
Catholicism.
All Italy assumed an aspect of
mourning and devotion. with amuse-
ments halted by law and gaiety by in
clination. The townsfolk of many
communities followed the practice of
their forefathers in participating in
Good Friday pageants.
Eighteen cardinals and many other
prelateS and dignitarieS attended a
mass celebrated by Eugenio Cardinal
Pacelli in the SiStine Chapel. bare of
its decorations and with violet cloth
eovering its cruciflX.
AS part of the ceremonies. cardinals
banged their prayer books on the
benches to signify the confusion of
nature at the death of Christ, in which
according to scripture. the earth shook.
the veil of the temple was rent and
graves gave up their dead.
After the mass Cardinal Pacelli led
the traditional Good Friday procession
to the Pauline Chapel. where the car
dinals made personal money offerings
to the church, placing velvet purses on
cushion.

Congregations Are Limited

JERUSALEM. April l5.-The Holy
City of Jerusalem today led all Chris
tendon in mourning the death OF
Christ.
Long before dawn, pilgrims in their
thousands hurried TO the old city along
the worn, cobbled lanes leading to the
Chapel of Calvary for the first somber,
age-old ceremonies of Good Friday.
Because of structural damage to the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, authori-
ties at first forbade congregations to
assemble there, but later altered the
orders to permit pilgrims to enter the
church in groups of 10. at their own
risk. An earthquake last October DAM
aged steel and wooden supports of the
church.
All ChristendOm Represented.
Promptly at $50, great doors of the
chapel swung Shut upon those kneel-
ing in the pale glare of Oil lamps and
candles hung from the dark roof, All
ChriStendom was represented in the
congregation which heard the cele-
brant begin the ceremonies of the mass.
Then they looked up for the adora
ton of the cross as they heard the
words: Behold the wood of the cross
on which hung the Savior of the
world" The ceremonies continued
until late tonight.
Early this afternoon thousands in
procession trod the Via DoloroSa, visit
ing the stations of the croSS-familiar
ceremony in every Roman Catholic
churCh-along the road of Christs
struggling steps to Calvary.
Officers Guard Each Step.
And like the Roman centurions of
q centuries ago. British police Of
flcers. heavily armed. guarded each
step of the way. That was mindful
of the Arab-JeWish strife that still
splits the Holy Land.
Tonight at 7 was the last act Of
the drama of Christ's death-the
burial procession from the Chapel of
St Mary The effigy of the crucified
Christ was to be taken down, removed
from the cross and wrapped in a
winding sheet. Near IL pm. the
long days mourning ended with the
recitation Of 20 cruX. aves speS unica"
in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

ALONG REST NEEDED

What business and industry needs at the hands
of the government is not merely breathing
SPELL" but good long rest from paralyzing legis-
laton and bureaucratic control, in, the opinion Of
a large majority of big and little business men
alike
So far, however, it appears that there is little
prospect of relief from the heavy burden of taxa
ton and excessive regulation which have contribut-
ed largely to the new and more serious Roosevelt
depression.
In no industry has the harassment of govern
ment been more disastrous than in the public utlI-
itv field, where vast sums from the federal treas
urv have been devoted to destructive competition
with privately owned facilities. This subsidized
government competition has prevented the eXpen-
dture of at least two billion dollars for extensions
and betterments by private companies according
to leaders of the industry.
The administrations power policy has been con-
demned by economists generally, and even Mar
riner S. Ecces chairman of the Federal Reserve
SYSTEM recently asserted that all the benefits
which might be claimed for the governments IN
vestment in power could not begin to compensate
the public for the losses sustained through ham,
stringing the private electric industry.
Until definite change in the administration
attitude toward business and industry occurs, there
seems to be little hope for any permanent improve
ment in the economic situation.-Chaska CMinn)

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
INSULT TO INJURY

The Atlanta Constitution, which has ringside
seat for the Georgia senatorial primary and thus
gets its information first hand and, We presume.
with commensurate accuracy comes forward with
new slant on the RIGS dismissal of Georgia
Counsel Edgar B. Dunlap which makes the act
more intolerable than any of the previous accounts
that have made of it.
To quote directly from The Constitutions story:
Edgar B. Dunlap, campaign aide of Senator
George, resigned by request yesterday as Georgia
attorney for the reconstruction finance corpora
ton ..
Demand for the resignation came in telegram
from Claude E. Hamilton IT., general counsel of
the RFC, within % hours after Dunlap had been
called to Washington and assured of rosy future
with the RFC if he would abandon his political eff
forts in behalf of Senator George.
Dunlap rejected these overtures and was told
then that it would be the gracious thing for him
to resign Dunlap refused to offer his resignation
without written demand. He then told to re-
turn to Atlanta to await the instructions which
came yesterday"
The peremptory dismissal of Mr. Dunlap is one
thing bad enough in itself. Effort to buy him off
in advance is another infinitely worse. How much
such an offer as our Atlanta contemporary reports
lacks of being attempted bribery certainly in its
moral if not its strictly legal involvement we leave
to the senate investigating committee, the citzenry
of Georgia and the whole country, which must be
concerned over the ISSUE to decide.
In the meanwhile, barking back to the formal
reason which Jesse Jones' salvagng outfit gave for
the Dunlap BUSTING, e., political activity on the
part of a government employee, it is confusing to
note that Thomas B. Corcoran, generally credited
with being the presidents inside political adviser
and at present chief of the department of purges,
wears the label and is recorded on the Wash
ington payroll, of counsel to the RFC. So far the
wires have brought nothing Of has dismissal Or is
it to be inferred that Chairman Jones has had his
ear so seadfasty attuned to Georgia that he hasn't
heard anything else these more recent days.

IT is TO LAUGH
Herald.

Edgar B. Dunlap, long in the service of the
Democratic party and loyal to President Roosevelt
in the past VINO has been serving counsel for
the Atlanta office of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, has been fired by Washington officials
because he is helping Senator George in his fight
for reelection.
The announcement from Washington Is to the
effect that Mr. Dunlap had been warned Of his po-
litica activities and having refused to lay them
aside for his FRIEND had been asked for his resig
nation in view of the ruling in Washington that
federal employees must have no part nor parcel IN
politics
This explanation, of course is another IN the
long succession of insults to the intelligence even
of the unintelligent public of America-that- they
should be asked to believe that the Administration
is firing all federal employees who take a hand in
political campaigns.
1t fires those who take hand in political cam
paigns against the candidates who are favorable to
the new deal.
If Mr.. Dunlap had been handling the interests
of the new deals candidate for the senate in Geor-
gia while serving as counsel for the RFC, how
many are so stupid as to imagine that he would
have been dismissed from the federal service?-

southern farmer not physically in

broader diet the year round than

1t is admitted that the farmer
must have money to buy necessi-
ties he cannot raise. When his
cash crop cannot supply sufficient
funds, between seasons employ
ment is required. But the farm

VZASHINGTON.-Two Questions
w have been widely asked since
Elmer F. Andrews was appointed
administrator of the new wage
hour law.
One, in. words which once be-
came the slogan Of an American
Legion convention, has been:
Where's Elmer"
The other was whether An
dreWS would take orders from
Secretary Perkins or insist on
being independent. Under the
law, he has his choice.
Answering the first question,
Elmer is here. For nearly month
he stayed in Albany, planning and
comforting by phone, telegraph,
and mail. He was waiting for
President Roosevelt's return be-
fore he came to Washington. Even
then, he slipped into the capital
secretly three or four days before
his presence was known publicly.
He thus evaded rush of job
seekers.
Secondly, it looks as if Andrews
would insist on running, his own
show. Already lie secretly has
decided he would set up his
own legal and public relations
information divisions, instead of
relying on those of the Labor De-
partment. These are key sections.
Quiet, unspectacular and far
from laxative, Andrews has i'm
pressed the few who have seen
him as likely to Lycndle his job
well. He has nc rosy illusions as
to its headaches. But his dry,
salty sense of humor and aversion
10 grandstand playing will help
him. He is likely to be a middle
of-the-road man in the sense that
he will seek to enforce and ex-
pand the act with more energy
than labor leaders think Miss

THE NEW DEAL SYSTEM

The intelligent sentiment of the country, says
the Manufacturers Record, opposes an economic
system that fosters and perpetuates pauper Glass;
promotes government competition to the hurt OF
private industry; destroys crops and livestock when
people are hungry; encourages by silence st-doWn
strikes fathers labor relation act that cries aloud
for revision because of its one-sided, prejudiced
provisions; sets up bureaus and commissions with
resulting confusion of ideas and detectives beyond
anything of the past; centrazes power in Wash
ington; does away with states rights, and would
pack the supreme court.
What care the spenders for the intelligent senti-
ment of the country? What care they for the harm
they are doing the land? They have fattened their
political powers. They have catered to- those who
would live off government. They have been inter-
ested in attracting votes.-Charleston News and
Courier. -..-....-

There are plenty Of farmers in

hand. But part Of that help should
be to train those who do not al
ready know how to DO so, to OF
der their affairs so as to keep go
ing on their own power.
The farmer in the south and
everywhere else should be pretty
independent as far rs food is con-
ccrned; and it is not for his good
to make him feel that if all he
raises for himself is glits. greens
and gravy, he can look to Uncle
Sam to provide the additional
dishes. Rather than that, the gov
eminent should encourage him to
produce his milk. butter, chickens,
eggs. bacon. hams, and other
meats; and wide range Of
fruits and vegetables. And teach
him how to preserve his surplus
foods. .
To help man to help himself
is the biggest help that can be
given him.

Many farmers contend that no
farmer can afford to take outside
employment if he is managing his

all his time between seasons to
tune up his faIm-to do work he
has no chance to do during plant

THE LOSER IN THE EAST WILL BE THE
WEST
tBY BRUCE CATION


There is something a little unreal about
the casual, interested-spectator role the
western world is playing i'll regard to the
var in China.
aside from the few busy diplomats who
Keep looking for 4 chance to get little
AK grinding done, most of Europe and
America seems to look on the war as a
vast drama which is fascinating, interest
ing, tragic-but which can have no very
direct effect on occidental life.
,Yet very little thought ought to con-
vince anyone that what is going on in the
Orient today is a revolution as profound
and far-reaching as any IN human history.
No matter who wins, the old order is
ended
Ever since the European war geared it
self to an expanding economy seeking
NEW markets and raw material sources
overseas. the far shore of the Pacific has
been one of its chosen preserves. For more
than a century the exploitation Of China
peaceful and otherwise-has been an i'm
p0rtant element in the Occident's political
and commercial Set-up.
Now that exploitation is being ended.
The frightful battles along the Yangtze
ave destroying the whole intricate network
by which the western world made use of
the east. The white mans burden" is be-
ing taken off of the white mans back, and
it is extremely doubtful that he will ever
regain very much Of it.
Consider what will happen if Japan
finally wins this war.
Beyond the shadow of doubt, China
will become closed field. Japan is max
ing tremendous sacrifices in this war; If
victorious, she will naturally expect pro-
pOrtionate rewards. The rich Chinese
trade will be under her thumb, and it is
unthinkable that she would consent to
share it with anyone.
But the cause will be no better if China
wins. For the China that would then con-
front the. white nations would be China
conscious of her strength; China that
had learned how to fight in the western
way, and that no longer had to submit
meekly to anything which superior force
might choose to inflict. China today fights
for her independence in every sense of the
word; if she wins. it will not be a qualified
independence that she enjoys, but an abso-
Lutte one.
The east is throwing off the white mans
dominance. Like it or not, the western
world must adjust itself to that fact.
