Perhaps too few Americans are alarmed over
the spread of the nsidous and destructive phioso-
ply of communism.
Perhaps. especially the Christian churches are
paving too little attention to the uprising of this
political vagary which to many of its disciples is
made over into competitive religious faith
William E. Dodd, former ambassador to Ger
many, in recent statement to the Associated
Press, says that the Nazis are spending $3O,OOO,-
900 for propaganda in the United States tins year
Stanley High in the Saturday evening Post OF
July g. says that the communists have ten daily
newspapers in America, besides numbers OF week
lies and monthes and literally thousands Of pam
phlets i'll which they spreading their propa-
ganda.
These two statements alone reveal the great in
roads being made by atheism and other influences
destructive to our faith and freedom of worship.
1t is not enough to dismiss the matter with the
thought that America is too well fortified IN INTEL
ligence and good citizenship to be endangered by
this evil.
Certainly it is not enough cOmplacently to re-
mark that organized religion, the church. as 1t IS
now formulated and operated will take care OF
the situation by simply going along on ITS sched-
MED lines and giving no special concern OF atten-
ton to this militant enemy Of the religion 1t We
hicles.
If the church was what it ought to be IN It's
membership if those who belong to the Christian
order lived and wrought III keeping with their pro-
LESSONS and petenSions, it would be different
In that event the field which communism comes
in to occupy would BE- immunized against its APP
proach.
And if the Church of God in America had in its
membership all the people Of this country, there
would be no reason for alarm.
But neither Of these conditions have been met
Churchmen generally live far below the level o1
their announced faith. Their pietieS are far below
their proclamatiOns.
And approximately $4,000, 900 people of all ages
in this country have no church utilization and are,
therefore trying to get along without any religious
teaching
So long as both Of these unhappy facts are to be
faced, anything can happen in America in the way
OF conquest by alien and atheistc groups.-Char-
lotte Observer.

The reservoirs are empty when the floods
come down, they fill up and hold back the
flood waters. If this system was general
ing power, and the reservoirs had to be
kept full of water to run power plants,
what would become of the excess water in
time of floods?
1t is for these reasons that intelligent
and unprejudiced citizens who study the
subject, usually conclude that Twas talk
about flood control and river navigation IS
hokum-at least, it is concrete and practl-
cal only for Twas hidden purposes and to
the extent that large part of the cost OF
power development can be charged to
flood control and navigation, thereby re-
ducing the capital investment in power
generation, and giving iva advantage
over privately owned power companies, as
they cannot charge off a large part OF their
investments to flood control and naviga-
ton projects.
The IVA representative also claims
great gains in the development OF river
navigation in the past few years, and cites
imposing hgures. The tlliteS-Ne"S seeks
information from one who must have it
and will ask two questions:
What proportion of the increase OF river
traffic is due to the hauling Of government
materials, or government substituting OF
river transportation? In other words, how
much traffic have iva and other govern
ment agencies thrown on the rivers for the
express purpose of making this showing?
Another question the gentleman may
answer: What is the annual cost to the
tax payers of the United States Of federal
subsidizing of river traffic?
The Times-News will be pleased to set
aside space for Mr. Henle in which to an
swer these questions.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
~ RODNEY BUTCHER

70 get all the money they could
out of relief administrators. But
he gives no clear indication OF
what he said about Glass. And so
although the SeCretary'S rooterS
declare no dice on the ground that
Glass picked up an imaginary ball
and ran down TO the goalpoStS
when there had been no klckoh.
few are disposed to pull at the
senator's laurelS.
Under the loosely drawn rules
- Of. the game as interpreted IN
GOSSIP circles around Washington,
it would be necessary TO penallze
Senator Glass several yards If
IckcS were to prove Glass really
had pcrSistcntly peStcrcd him for
PWA grants. Even in Washing
ton you can't run up d very hlgh
score by calling q man a liar II
he proves he isn't. But lckeS, de-
nying he ever said any such thing,
naturally isn't trying to prove
that Glass has been bawling for
PWA funds all these years. The
inference is that there isn't any
such proof
Somebody has been getting lot
of PWA money for Virginia. II
it isn't Glass-and he denies any
repeated, insistcnt demands-it
must be someone else Possibly
Senator Harry Byrd, who hates
the New Deal at least as much as
Glass does.
Virginia had received Sill ,OOO,-
600 of PWA allotmcnts-loans and
grants up to Aug. /. Compare
THAT with the Two states of most
comparable population. Oklahoma
received S61,l35, 480 in allottments
and Kentucky only $48,0l3,453.
Those are official PWA figures.
When you recall that Kentucky
and Oklahoma were two states
where the New Deal was trying
i hard to renominate New Deal
! senators-Barkley and Thomas
and that the New Deal is as sour
on Glass and Byrd as they on 1t,
YOU can't help feel that there's
| something here which doesn't
quite meet the eye. Possibly Glass
| and Ickes will shed some light IN
their next passage-at-tongues.

THE SUN GODDESS

descended from said goddess. At
these shrines all persons in the

That order has brought dismay to

To the prospective candidates for the national

If Mr. Downeys political philosophy that the
government should pay everybody who is not EN-

ceptable why stop where he stops and be so modest
about this business of having the government sup
port everybody?

even in our own land, means
nothing unless the heart is in it.
Very good; but the person Just
quoted has overlooked the impor-
lance of example. The early
Christian martyrs did not suffer
death to preserve their own faith,
but to testify to it. Should you
see person kissing heathern

SEh SerNre S'n"
WASHINGTON. - Amateur ref

handing down a curbstone opinion
that the reputation Of Secretary

For a brief period they awarded

But now Ickcs loses even those
credits for-bravery because he de-
MICS he ever did call the senator
a political hypocritc." A report
that those two words were the
ones he had applied 10 Glass was
what started it all.
GO the scoreboard finally credits
~ Glass with one confirmed
blackguard," one "wanton false
hood" and one "mean and imperti-
