Seen Favored by
New Legislators
Mrs. Gutenberg Reports
On Answers to
QUESTIONABLE

Early tabulation Of opinions from
new members Of Congress indicate
generally favorable attitude toward
District suffrage, according to Mrs.
Louis Gutenberg, president of the
Voteless District of Columbia League
of Women Voters.
Suffrage was one Of the five items
on the legislative program sent out
for comment to congressional can
didates in the recent election by the
National League, Mrs. Gutenberg ex-
planned at the semi-annual dinner
meeting Of the local league last
night.
A spirited presentation of the
leagues policy on foreign relations
was the feature of the meeting after
formal adoption of the program
for the next six months.
Sees Important Decisions.
The speaker, Mrs. Louise Leonard
Wright. chairman of the department
of Government and foreign policy of
the National League, predicted that
within the next two years more i'm
portant decisions on foreign policy
would have to be made than at any
similar period in the past.
Congress is the thread that con-
meets us with Munich" she de-
clared And the role of citizen is
one Of ever-increasing vigilance"
I'VE have but one opportunity to
shape foreign policy" she asserted,
"and that is through the role of
shaping policy in this country"
Neutrality, she said, is the most
important question to come up at
the next session Of Congress. And
that cannot be an impartial pol
ICY" she added.
Trade Pacts Important.
Future reciprocal trade agree
ments, she also singled out as i'm

ultimate aim to promote economic
well-being.

the Department of Government and
Foreign Policy for the local league.

/ presented group from her commit
tee in an original skit entitled
"Sampling Public Opinion"
This skit brought out the leagues
belief that system of collective
peace is the only system under
which the world can function; that
real neutrality is an impossibility
and that neutrality legislation as it
Is now worded seems to help an ag-
gressor, and that trade is essential
to peace.
Mrs. Henry w. Moore had the
part of Senator Ostrich in the skit-
the center of an impromptu forum
in which Mrs. William Adams Slade
played the role Of Mr.. Statesman;
Mrs. Irene D. Saurote, a dirt
farmer; Mrs. o. L. Klein, Mrs. Con-
sumer; Mrs. Lowell Leake, Mr..
Upper, compromiser; Mrs. C. S.
Duncan, Mr. Worker, and Mrs.
Lorenz, Mrs. L. w. Voter. Mrs. Earl
Smith made explanations.
Three members of the Nominating
Committee to report next spring were
elected as follows: Miss Sybil Baker,
Mrs. Walter Ufford and Mrs. Blaine
McCallum. Other members appoint
ed by the board are Mrs. B. M. Nc
Kelway and Mrs. Henry Chalmers.
Preceding the meeting the local
league entertained at a reception for
members of the national board, in

COverage of All Endorsed.

Coverage of all workers, even in
agricultural and domestic service,
under labor laws "as rapidly as pos
sible" was Endorsed in adopting one
report. The specific laws to which
reference was made cover hours,
workmen's compensation, wage COL
lection and child labor.
The committee drafting the report
recognized that special problems
would be presented in regulating
farm and domestic labor, but sug-
gested methods of approach.
The first step in regulating the
work of domestic servants should be
the application of State minimum
wage laws to such workers." the re-
port said. I'm nine States the pres
ent laws could be so applied; in the
remainder an amendment would be
required"
Minimum Wage Rates.
With regard to agricultural labor
the committee felt that States
might begin now to experiment
with setting minimum wage rates
under Wage Board procedure where
the coverage of the law permits"
The conference also approved an
other report proposing a maximum
eight-hour day in intrastate indus
try and calling for maximum work.
week and minimum wage provisions
that would be fixed by the States
themselves.
Legislation to abolish industrial
home work also was urged on the
ground that it exploits child labor
and breaks down labor standards
generally.

The Burning Bush Moses Saw.

For the Burning Bush Moses saw,

Mark 1926; Luke 20:37; Acts
1885. The Hebrew word in the
Exodus passage is "sen-ah," and
is correctly translated "bramble.i'
This Hebrew word occurs only in
the passages referring to Jeho-
vah's appearance to Moses-Exo-
dus go, 4; Deut. 1916. The
Sept. renders this 'Batos" in that
Greek translation Of the Hebrew
text; and the Greek word "Batos''
is likewise correctly translated
"bramble." And "Batos" is the
Greek word used in all the New

An illustration of the meaning of
the Greek word "Batos" is given
US in Luke 6:44; here it is cor
rectly translated "bramble bush"
