able to separate us from the love Of God,
which is In Christ Jesus, our Lord: the
thirteenth chapter of the First Epistle to
the Corinthians on charity, and the fif-

on the Resurrection. The whole discus
sion was marked by fine understanding
OF st. Pauls many writings, and the dis

the intimate knowledge the justices had
OF their contents. The discussion did not
end with the brief hour In the rectory,

lawyer some years ago made q careful

Lincoln had studied extensively this

That stirs the world to larger life
And moves the listening throng.

Who's going to cut the pie?
Will his resolve be firmly set
To make a fair divide,

The Zone of Purtisunship'

When former Secretary of State
Stimson discussed neutrality before
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee on April he emphasized that,
stalwart Republican though he is,
he believes, In critical times like
these, that "the zone of PARTISAN
ship" should be limited" The chief
of the State Department during the
Hoover administration has given un-
ceasing demonstration of his con-
viction that politics should end at
the waters edge-that, where for
eign affairs are concerned, there are
neither Republicans nor Democrats,
but only Americans.
Representative Hamilton Fish, in
broadcast Friday evening, identi-
fed himself as an unabashed expo
nent of unlimited partiSanship in
foreign affairs. The tall sycamore
of the Hudson probably would resent
the imputation that he is motivated
In his censorious opposition to the
administrations external policy by
the fact that he is the Republican
Representative of President Roose-
velt's home congressional district.
But the member for Hyde Park lays
himself open to the suspicion that
the horizon of Dutchess County,
rather than that of the troubled
world at large, encompasses his vision
OF the international situation.
Thus, speaking as the chairman of
a temporary organization called the
National Committee to Keep Amer
lea Out of War;" Representative Fish
finds the hour meet to accuse"
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hull-though he is careful to level
his indictment at the New Deal
of an indiscriminate assortment of
high crimes and misdemeanors. They
are "instigating war propaganda and
hysteria"; deliberately scrapping
: our traditional foreign policy for in
ternationalism, collective security,
economic sanctions, naval Alliances
and war commitments" Conducting
a campaign of name calling, hatred
and abuse" and leading the Ameri-
can people to rendezvous with war,
death and bankruptcy"
At Rome on Thursday Mussolini
used language like this in replying"
to President Roosevelt's plea for non-
aggression assurances by the die
tators. It is certain to be the tone,
if not the text, of Hitler's answer"
in the Reichstag this week. It is
deplorable at any time for member
of the House of Representatives and
of its Foreign Affairs Committee thus
publicly to assail the constitutional
conductors Of Americas relations

Three GREAT CHAPTERS
BY the Right Reu James E. Freeman .. d. ILL., D., L.,
Bishop OF Washington

It 1s not often that one gets an in
formal opinion from flve justices Of the
United States Supreme Court, an opin-
but the following incident is the authen-
tic record Of such an opinion, given delib-
erately and with deep sincerity by .
majority Of the court.
The late Chief Justice Melville w.
Fuller died suddenly in Sorrento, Me-, on
July 4, 1910. On the following day his
funeral was held in the simple little
Church In that community, and was at
tended by five members of the court.
together with the Governor Of the
State, United States Senators and other
men Of high distinction as well As the
native folk Of the town. The service
itself was marked by extreme simplicity
and is referred to by the late Mr.. Justice
Holmes In the interesting volume that
came from his pen. The members OF
the court and several others were to
accompany the body to Chicago for in
terment.
Immediately following the service there
was considerable space before train time.
and during this hour the distinguished
members of the court remained in the
living room Of the rectory. On joining
the party found that 1t was q silent
group. After the lapse Of several min
utes, one Of the Senators broke the
silence, saying, II wonder what you men
are thinking about" This was respond
ed to by Mr.. Justice Holmes, who OBJ
served: Il cannot speak for the rest Of
my colleagues, but am thinking Of the
utter majesty of the fifteenth chapter Of
First Corinthians which the rector Just
read at the funeral service" Following
this observation the entire group en-
gagged in lengthy discussion Of this
great chapter Of st. Pauls on the Resur-
rection.
This was followed by further discus
sion Of what the five members Of the
court and the other guests present con-
ceded were the three great chapters Of
this remarkable writer, namely, the
eighth chapter Of his Epistle to the
Romans, which ends with the majestic
words: FOR am persuaded, that neither

Auto Tag Locks

Governor O'COnor'S announcement
that he will veto the amendment to
Maryland's automobile title law
which would require motorists to
spend two hundred thousand dollars
year extra for locks for their license
plates will be received gratefully by
car owners of the State.
The hastily adopted and leisurely
repented amendment Is an example
of what carelessness and lack of
responsibility can mean in a State
Legislature.
Accepting as true the explanations
as to why the amendment was
slipped through so quietly in the
closing minutes of the session that
not even the clerks handling the
matter had any record of it, and
discounting any suspicion of an at
tempt to impose racket" on the
motorists, the fact remains that the
amendment was one in which no one
cared to admit taking pride. Certainly
no citizens expressed themselves as
satisfied. The manager of the au-
tomobile association who gave the
proposal to the Senator who Spon-
sored it has said he merely wanted
to show he had no definite objection
to such an addition to the bill and
that its introduction was due to a
misunderstanding.
In spite of the additional burden
put on the motorists of the State,
the matter is comparatively small,
but 1t would not be impertinent to
inquire how many other pieces of
legislation were put through with

Shakespeare

William Shakespeare, born at
Stratford-on-Avon, in Merrie Eng
land, three hundred and seventy-five
years ago today, should be celebrated
IN Washington if nowhere else in the
Western world. BY generosity of
Henry and Emily Folger, the Capital
of the United States is his American
home. And especially in this present
turbulent period of human expert
ence he merits the study, the under
standing and the appreciation of the
people of a democratic country.
Critics there have been who have
complained because the greatest of
poets was sprung from the folk.
Lacking the advantages of an aristo-
cratic environment, they have ar
gued, 1t was infeasible for him to
write Hamlet" or Macbeth" let
alone the chronicle plays in which
he treats royalty with a familiarity
akin to contempt. His education, it
IS declared, was defective; he was
possessed of small Latin and less
Greek" Another hand, therefore,
must have penned King Lear"
Julius Caesar" "The Merchant of
Venice" Midsummer Nights
Dream" Romeo and Juliet" "Othel-
10" and "The Tempest" For these
compositions an intimate knowledge
of classic literature, history, the law,
religion and philosophy would be de-
manded. The glover's son, his de-
tractors insist, was incompetent for
the task.
But such logic is faulty. It omits
the element which, with abundant
reason, is called personality"
Shakespeare, those who know him
best have found, was an individual.
Perhaps he was altogether unique.
1t may be that nature never before
and never again could create a su-
perior mind, more sympathetic
heart, a braver soul. Yet there have
been many who have belonged to the
same Fellowship. The Carpenter of
Nazareth was one, blind Homer an
other. With them stand Socrates,
Dante, Franklin and Samuel john
son, Goethe and John Bunyan, Lin
eoln and Edison. None of these i'm
mortals can be explained by the easy
theories of behaviorist psychology.
They cannot be regimented, classi-
fed, card-indexed to accommodate a
dogma arbitrarily established.
Sir Edmund Kerchever Chambers
sums up the best of modern opinion
when he affirms of Shakespeare that
"the secret of his genius lies in it's
power of development" Free socie-
ties enjoy that power; they press
upon independence, but they do not
destroy 1t; they exploit it, but they
do not annihilate it. Honoring the
Bard, then, they honor themselves.
Remembering him, they pay tribute
to the processes which brought him
forth, nurtured and encouraged him,
rewarded him and still maintain his
name in grateful recollection. He
grew to his triumph unchecked by
coercion. In that respect he is
symbol of the ideal which his spirit
ual heirs have inherited and which
they intend to protect and defend
forever, be the cost however bur-
denSome.

that the United States is being pushed
toward nationalism and yet refuses to
recognize that fact.
These officials say that the fateful de-
cision on national policy really was made
in 1920 when this country turned from
European responsibilities. They say that
there might have been a chance to re-
verse the trend toward nationalism-wit
It's necessity for internal controls-in
1888 had President Roosevelt gone ahead
and accepted world economic leadership
for the United States. Instead, he scut-
tied the world economic conference.
Revival Of the idea of a new world
economic conference at this stage Is de-
scribed as almost fantastic In concep-
ton, because Of the momentum gained
by nationalism all over the world. But
nationalism forces internal planning and
1t forces type Of control that makes the
New Deaf seem mild BY comparison.

call it dumping and use violent language
In denunciation. Officially they now
carefully explain that dumping, when
done by the United States, absolutely Is
not dumping.
Now President Roosevelt is proposing
to do the same thing in cotton. Only he
and other officials want it distinctly un-
oerstood that in doing exactly what to-
talltarlan countries are doing, the United
States simply isn't doing anything of the
kind.
Furthermore, the United States is get
ting set to trade American. cotton and
wheat for British and Dutch tin and
rubber. This type Of trade is referred to
as barter, when practiced by Germany
and some other nations. The United
States refused in 1896 to trade with Ger
many on that basis and violent language
has been used to abuse the nations that
DO use barter. But the highest officials
here now explain with the greatest show
OF self-righteousness that nobody can say
that when the United States barters it
can be called barter. Barter then be-
comes something else.
And so it is with political loans.
Political loans, when made by other
nations, are violently criticized Yet
when political loan is made to Brazil,
and when other political loans are prof.
ected, officials take great pains to insist
that political loans made by the United
States are not political loans because this
country's highest officials object to loans
of that kind.

important White House advisers who

Only these States show over 1000, 600 600

Odds on Armstrong Drop
AS Fiqhters Finish TruininQ
Ambers to Be Even
Money BET by Ring
Time tuesday Mite

NEW YORK, Aug. 81. (UP) -
Henry Armstrong. who is used 10
entering the ring topheavy favor
ite, was no better than Us today to
retain his lightweight crown against
Lou Ambers tomorrow night, and
the price may be even money when
they climb the ropes.
Not since Benny Leonard and
Lew Tender tangled in 1923, has
there been such lightweight mat
ural" as this return Armstrong
Ambers bout. and some $4,000 fans
are expected to pay around s150,0OO
to see the Is round brawl.
Ambers closed so fast and came
so near retaining the l35 pound
crown against Armstrong a year
ago that there was a public demand
for a return go.
When the match was signed,
Armstrong was 1875 favorite, but
the uncertain condition OF his brit
tie hands has flushed plenty OF
Ambers greenbacks in the betting
martS.
Both concluded their boxing work
outs yesterday, and will do only
roadwork of light limbering-up ex-
ercises today.
Because of the cloSeness of their
last fight, and the uncertainty over
the outcome of this one, it is a big
betting fight. Armstrong; 1877 pound
welterweight title will not be en-
dangered because of New York S
ruling against two titles being at
stake in one bout, and because of
a contract calling for Armstrong
to defend his welter crown within
90 days against Ambers-if-Lou
wins the lightweight tiara.
No fighters fists ever took any
more punishment than Armstrong;.
The little East st. Louis Negro, who
moved to the west coast because of
hunger. has won 46 straight fights,
including feather, light and welter-
weight title bouts with an unceaS-
ing barrage of blows to his oppo-
nents' heads.
His dukes have been pronounced
in good shape by the necessary
medical authorities. but Henry has
been training with big gloves and
all the tape and bandage he want
ed. 1t may be different when he
pulls six ounce mittens over a mini
mum of tape and gauze at Yankee
