A DRAG ON THE COUNTRY


A short time ago the Interstate
Commerce Commission increased the
freight rates charged by motor truck
in New England and the East Central
states. In an editorial praising this
as a constructive step in dealing with
the general transportation situation,
the New York Times said: 1.-THE
problem of rail-motor competition is
far from peculiar to the United States
and most aof the countries of the
world are having TO contend with it.
The problem Is not one Of favoring
one form of transportation at the
cost Of another, but rather of pre-
serving the advantages OF each in a
national transportation system in
which each is an integrated and CO.
ordinated part sg as
During the past eighteen or twenty
years the motor carriers have been in

as our transportation policy is con-
cerned. Until comparatively recent

RADIANT LIVING
CAEAILY RIDING THE
RAGING DEEP
BY Rev. C. NJ. Grifeth
Methodist Pastor OF
Deals Island, Md.


When the sudden gale hit the
skiff in which Jesus and His disei-
pies were crossing the Lake of Cali
lee, the disciples became frightened
but Jesus continued to calmly sleep
What if the gale had struck the
frail craft? What if she were dang
erously filling? Jesus continued to
calmly sleep. His sleep was not that
of indifference or of exhaustion, but
of one who knew how to repose in
an utter trust in the care of God.
How often have / been impressed
with the repose of a vessel as it lies
tied to the dock, its sides and masts
mirrored in the rejecting water. AL
though the scars received during
heavy weather are plainly evident,
yet there is now no suggestion of
struggle at sea. The vessel is rest
ing in a sweet tranquility.
Oh that we too might learn how to
relax from. the tedious tensions, the
cares, the frets and the worries of
life and to know how to lie. as do
vessels at the dock, in restful re-
pose! '.. s,.lpIt
Often when I have thrown myself
down at night, tired and exhausted,
my imagination has gone out to an
old fashioned square rigger, beealm-
ed at sea, riding on the slow heaVing
swell of vast expanse of glistening
water. And as watched that vessel
as it slowly rose and fell with the
swell of the sea, somehow felt my
self entering into realm of calm.
/ became as relaxed as that old YES
sci seemed to be and felt myself
upbouyed upon the serene bosom of
Infinite Love. go. .rr."
Blessed is that man who. as Christ,
can calmly sleep on the raging deep,
repOsed in the sweet will of God!

~Fedorova said in the only interview

Seated al small table in her
office, Fedorova discussed her life,
Soviet politics and international af-
fairs between Sipfuls of hot tea.
Fedorova spoke softly. eloquently of
her start in life when, at is. upon

Ten thousand of us, young people,
about 40 per cent of whom were girls

changes that have come about with
the relative stabilization OF the Soviet

drifted to Fedorova's new calling as
Deputy to the Supreme Council, as
the parliament is called, from the
Soviet electoral district of Moscow.
She was nominated for Office by
Shaft No. 70 of Metrostroi, the subway
trust, and her candidacy supported
by a score Of the districts factories.
Like all other candidates, she was
unopposed, but the number of ballots
cast for her, as compared with that
OF other nominees, is some indication
OF her growing popularity. Her vote
OF 1913 per cent of the total number
OF the districts electors was exceeded
only by Stain who polled 100 per cent.
Trained in the Pioneer (childrens
communist organization), then in the
komsommol, and now in the Com
munist party, in the years of Stains

statements on the role and function
OF SOVIET Deputies showed no devia-

recommendations.
"All Deputies must strive to be like
Lenin and Stalin," she said. They
must always be true to the party line
and struggle for better life"
The victory of the Stalinist theory
OF the possibility Of building socialism
in one country over Trotzkys insist
ence on immediate world revolution
was clearly reflected. She is, of course,
interested in the revolutionary move
ment abroad, but. unlike the young
Communists Of half a generation ago
she does not burn with zeal for the
world revolution
The first session OF the Supreme
Council lasted only fortnight. The
next session probably will not be
called before the end OF the year.
Nevertheless. Fedorova pointed out,
her parliamentary duties are not
sinecure. She has to maintain con-

slant contact with her constituents
during her entire term. AS "comrade
deputy" she has to keep regular office
hours at the regional Soviet, where a
steady stream Of citizens call upon
her to pour out their woes. She re-
ceives hundreds of letters each week
from citizens and admirers on all
conceivable subjects-except mar
riage proposals. And she makes it a
rule to answer every letter by hand
within three days.

not because at any time he at

cause of the leisurely pace, and
