Lecture Is Presented
On Christian Science

A lecture on "Christian Science;
the Science of Government" was
delivered last night in First Church
of Christ, Scientist, by Gavin w. Al
Ian, c. S. B., Of Toronto.
Mr.. Allan is a member of the
Board of Lectureship of the mother
church, the First Church Of Christ,
Scientist, In Boston. He was intro
duced by Mrs. Helen G. McNeill,
second reader of First Church,
which sponsored this lecture.
The lecturer said. in part: There
will be dictators In human affairs
just so long as there are persons
who desire, or are willing to accept,
dictation. The responsibility for die
tatorships rests not only upon the
dictators, but also upon those who
make relationships possible, those
who because of mental laziness, in
difference, or apathy permit others
to think for them. When each men,
ber of an organization is sufficiently
interested in its purposes and work
to do his own thinking; to reflect
intelligence, wisdom, energy, and
activis, qualities which are ever
available to him as Gods express
sion; when he Is eager and willing
to be governed by divine principle,
and will assume his share of the re-
sponsibility for righteous govern
ment, relationships will be no more.
If man is anything he is de-
signed to reflect God mentally. HUI
manly speaking, the most difficult
job one can set himself is to think,
and especially to think larger
thoughts. This is task that is al
most universally avoided. If only
some one would think for us; If
only some one would tell us what
to do; if only some one would tell
us how to vote; this is the prevail
ing attitude of mortal mind. That
is the basis of relationships.
Each Church Of Christ, Scientist,
will fulfill its God-intended mission
only as each member continuously
consecrates himself anew to the un-
selfed service of divine principle,
and resists those tendencies of the
carnal mind which would lull him
into uselessness.

This study is being made" he

liberties"
Asked whether he had given spe-
cial attention to the civil liberties
issue in Jersey City, N. j., the At
torney General replied that he was
mot speaking of any particular To-
cality"
1T seems to me-" he added, that
where there is social unrest-and
have been through no scant amount
Of that myself for long time; since
l930-it is there that we ought to
be more anxious and vigilant about
protecting the civil liberties Of an
insecure people"
Mr.. Murphy. who came here in
connection with the Government

overstatement in assets of the Nc

Hungarian Minority Big.
The next largest minorities in
Yugoslovia is Hungarian. There are
something like $4,000 Magyars, ALL
of course, Yugoslav citizens. They
appear satisfied with the present
regime. The Stoyadinovich govern
ment has established cordial rela-
tions with Budapest and has OBJ
tained from the Hungarian govern
ment taCit agreement that the ques-
ton of the Magyar minority will not
be raised-for a while at least.
In the south there are 100000 Al
banians who have been residing
there from time immemorial. But
since the creation of an Albanian
Kingdom, they have been looking
across the border. However, the
Yugoslav government has not had
difficulties with these people, but AL
banla is Subservlent to the Rome
government. and if Rome wants to
stir up trouble with these 450,000
people it undoubtedly can do so.
These minorities are not a press
ing problem for Belgrade. On the
contrary, they are all good law
abiding citizens. During the De-
cember elections, when the Stoy-
adinovich government squeezed
through with a flimsy majority, all
the Germans, the Hungarians and
Albanians were advised from for
eign centers to vote for Mr.. Stoy-
adinovich. That has worried him as
well as his colleagues in the gov
ernment. It was the first sign, out
side the purchases of farms with
German money, that there are
foreign elements who have a finger
In the Yugoslav pie.
Only one power-Germany-aad
a real interest in the dismember-
ment OF o-Slovakia. Two pow
erS have too keen an interest In
Yugoslavia-Germany and Italy.
There is political situation here
which many lend itself to a game
Rome and Berlin have learned to
play. And this is fundamentally
the reason the Belgrade government
IS so anxious to please the dictators
In the next few years, say the Bel
grade political philosophers. one of
two things will happen: Either the
dictators will prevail, in which case
1t is just as well that Yugoslovia be
on their side: or, the dictators will
fall, in which case Yugoslavia will
have time to abandon the sinking
ship.

States wished to attract tourist trade
from South American countries a
policy of reciprocity must be worked
out.
Mr.. Ickes did not advocate direct
measures to divert tourist trade from
Europe.

direct. Lets keep the American
travellers dollars under the Ameri-
can flag" he said.

tunity for American capital to build
