tartan endeavor. It is not without
a definite symbolism that the Nobel
Peace Prize, that concrete spur to
high accomplishment in the domain
of international relations, is of
Scandinavian origin. In the modern
sphere of cooperative marketing,
Sweden and the other peninsular
states have long shown the way.
Each OF them is ruled, and for years
has been, by a liberal or labor gov
ernment of truly progressive trend.
In such fields as education, public
health and social legislation Scandi-
navia has been teaching other ma
tions for decades. All that is i'm
periled by the red clouds rising
across the Scandinavian CULTS from
the East. 1t conjures up situation
which our Government commercially
was quick to grasp In It's full signif1-
canoe when President Roosevelt di-
rected Ambassador steinhardt to
register this country's misgivings at
Moscow, for immeasurably more than
the fate of Finland is involved in
Russian designs on her territorial
and political integrity.

The Building Case

The Government has employed
extreme measures to end jurisdic-
tbnal strikes In the building indus
try here by obtaining conspiracy in
dictments against the Transfers
Union local and five union officials
but there has been accumulating evil
dence that reform could be accom-
plished only by resort to forceful
tactics.
Time after time, the family
squabbles of the American Fedora
tion of Labor have tied up construc-
, ton, and with general building
trades strike now threatened to back
the teamsters' demand for work per-
formed under contract by the Oper-
ating Engineers Union, the govern
mental Intervention is timely.
Reduced to its simplest terms, the
indictment charges that the Team
sters' Union, by strikes, boycotts and
violence, has sought to restrict oper-
alton of mobile concrete mixers to
It's own members.
The indictment was returned under
the Sherman Antitrust Law, which
makes Illegal any conspiracy in re-
straint Of trade and subjects partici-
pants to prosecution. The method
of approach is brand new, as the
antitrust laws never before have
been employed against jurisdictional
strikes.
Presumably with this thought in
mind, and anticipating a defense
based on the right of labor to strike,
the indictment sets out that the
course attributed to the union was
not "in aid of higher wages, shorter
hours, better working conditions for
labor, or any other legitimate object
OF labor union"
Whether the proceeding. is sue
cessful or not, 1t stands as a warning
to labor to abandon this type of war
fare. The long-established rivalries
will not be downed easily, as is evil
denced by the court fight the Brew
cry Workers Union is waging to
keep its drivers out of the Teamsters'
Union, to which they were awarded
by the American Federation of La
Dor, but it is obvious that the Gov
ernment does not intend to have its
own work interfered with because of
these disagreements.
The same policy should be ap-
plicable to similar interferences with
private construction.

and, II we are wise, cannot change the
thoughts of our hearts"
Life from start to finish is compound
Of good and i'll. happiness and sorrow,
fortune and misfortune, days of peace
and days Of strife. The great question
for each one of us is, What are we going
to do about it?" How are we going to
appraise and measure the significance
OF events, and still more important, how
are we going to survive them? Men
have tried all kinds of PHILOSOPHERS, in
vented all sorts of schemes for meeting
and overcoming the ills of life. Those
old Greek philosophers upon whom we
still lean give much of wisdom with
much Of fortitude, but none Of them ever
gave us real working hypothesis of life.
If we were to take the best of them for
our guides we should still find ourselves
confused and embarrassed in the face
OF tragic events. No one, other than the
Man Of Nazareth, has ever given to the
world a philosophy Of life that lifts it
above the events and scenes OF the pass
ing days. His outlook upon life contem-
plated its every experience. He knew
what was In man." knew his struggles,
his follies, his failures and his successes.
In His great love He overlooked mans
faults and weaknesses. It was not what
man was, but what he might be that en-
gagged His deepest interest. The prodigal
IN far country, debased and dishonored,
was still susceptible of recovery and
restoration. He only had to come "to
himself" to know that a new life was
opening to him. There is nothing of
pessimism in the New Testament. stew.
enson said, 1T is the Book of Hope" It
may require supreme effort to believe
IN An ultimate decency of things" in
the face OF the present worlds disorders
nut unless We are sustained by a faith
that will not be shattered or darkened
by the tragic events of the hour, we are
IN bad way.
IL may be difficult to read into the
story that records the stern events ~
mans Wlckedness and folly ANYTHING
that suggests the ultimate regeneration
OF the human race, but when we turn
again to the philosophy of Him whom men
call the Prince of Peace" we feel within
us freshened assurance, freshened hone

ing OF life. The ruthlessness of tvrants

THINGS THAT REMAIN
BY the Right ReD James E. Freeman, D. d. IL. D., c. L.
Bishop OF Washington.

A refreshing and stimulating letter
lies before me as write. 1t was written
by . woman Of rare culture, one expe-
riencing impaired health. IN this letter
she speaks of the disosdsrs and confu-
sions in our modern World, and con-
cludes her observations with this SEN
tence: II find a good deal OF consolation
these days in remembering that die
tator cannot level the mountains, can
not dry up the sea, cannot stop the
singing Of thrushes and cannot change
the thoughts of our hearts It is hard
to think Of much but the war, but we
must all try"
The philosophy OF this gifted woman
is one that is sorely needed in our mod
ern life. We are so immersed in the
news that is brought to us day by day
that there is little OF poise or serenity in
our thinking. Even the strong things
OF our religious faith seem to suffer
under the stress OF trying circumstances
recall that after the great World
War was over visited the scenes of the
conflict. There was little left to tell the
story Of the conflict. Nature had cov-
cred with its living verdure the places
where men had fought, struggled and
died. The landscape, with the exception
of trees that had been shattered and
destroyed, was much the same as it had
been before the mighty struggle. Only
here and there could one discover the
evidences Of long continued strife
Thus 1t is that God heals the wounds of
nature, and thus it is that He effaces
the evidences Of mans folly and STU
pidity!
All of us are largely the victims of
each days circumstances. Our judg-
ments and opinions are affected by the
events of the passing hour. Our men,
orles are short, our vision limited and
our reflection upon the goodness and
mercy of God suffers a temporary
paralysis. The follies and mistakes of
men blot out the wisdom and goodness
OF God. My friend has the Christian
point OF view. and 1t is the only point of
view that is consistent and reassurine.
She believes that the great things of life
are as permanent as the eternal hills.
For brief space man may mar the
picture and render it forbidding. but
sooner or later the great Artist repaints
1t and restores 1t. After all, the madness
OF man cannot level the mountains drv
up the sea, stop the singing of thrushes,"

New Horizons

In advocating greater acceptance
Of the universal spirit of indigenous
Western Hemisphere art and letters,
Archibald MacLeish, Librarian Of
Congress, dedicating the new His
panic room Of the Library on Colum-
bus Day, called attention in a vivid
manner to the fact that mo longer
can we take the value of things Of
the spirit for granted"
I'VE cannot say now, with no
thought Of contradiction, that the
work Of artists, the work of poets,
the work of scholars is good and
should be respected, and will be
preserved" he pointed out. The con-
tradictions sweep daily across the
landscapes of Europe and Asia, onto
the front pages, and into the homes
OF the world. This being the case,
it has become necessary in today's
world to build positive defense for
the traditions which America has
come to regard as sacred. Such
defense was Mr.. MacLeish's.
For the work of artists, poets and
scholars In the lives of nations does
not comprise merely dramatic murals
and inspiring canvases, thin volumes
bound in morocco, or abstruse
treatises in gray paper covers. It
comprises reflection of the ultimate
culture, the frontiers Of the civiliza-
ton of the peoples it represents. In
this sense, the implications of the
works of these artists and students
are of utmost Importance. They are
the nations report card" from the
school OF experience.
There should be no mistaking the
meaning of American art. There
should be no provincialism in con-
nection with its appreciation. The
universally of the mission of art and
knowledge must ever be borne in
mind. America is no Shangri-la,
where the treasure of modern civil
ization is to be preserved in vaults
against the day of collapse of
hatred-torn world. But it does have
destiny which it cannot avoid, and
to which 1t should reach out welcom-
ing arms.
That destiny depends upon no
policies OF statesmen, upon no specific
forms OF government. It knows no
frontiers and recognizes oceans
merely as temporary barriers. It
involves the deeper instincts of the
race OF man, the permanent tie
which unites all peoples in all ages
IN confirmation Of those things of
human life which are fine and good.

the way to preserve democracy in
Europe or to keep this country out
Of the war. The most effective serv-
ice we can render to democracy, both
in Europe and at home, is to supply
the allies with bombing planes and
other offensive weapons, not to en-
compass the destruction of German
children, but to enable France and
Britain to strike at German air
fields, munitions plants and other
vital supply sources. Thus they will
be better able to bring the war to an
early and successful conclusion,
sparing Europe the ravages of a pro-
longed conflict and minimizing the
danger that we may be drawn into it..

Army Truinino

Acting promptly and vigorously-to
overcome one OF the greatest weak
nesses of the American Regular Army
and National Guard, the War De-
partment is reorganizing its train
ing plans to increase greatly the eff
cheney of the Nations initial protec-
tive force"
Maneuvers held recently in Vir-
ginia and New York involving IS 1000
officers and men of the Army and
Guard showed conclusively what long
has been Suspected-that lack of
training for larger Army units Grip
Piles seriously the effectiveness of our
national defense.
Mechanized warfare imposes in
creasingly serious demands upon the
commanders and stats of larger
Army units, from brigades on up, and
calls for the utmost cohesion of all
troop units. Yet our training plans
in the past have afforded virtually
no opportunity for troops or COM
mand stats to function as large
units.
Today the Army is organizing five
Regular Army divisions on the new
"streamlined" pattern for months of
continuous field training. Next
spring they will be organized into
corps. The plan will give division
commanders and stats the great ad-
vantage of year-around training and
troops of all arms and services COM
posing the division the opportunity
to fit themselves into the pattern and
operations Of the new division.
So that division and brigade COM
manders and stats of both the Ma
tional Guard and Organized Reserves
may keep themselves constantly
abreast of developments under this
new training program, the War De-
partment is arranging weekend
flights for them to the division. train
ing areas, where they will be given
opportunities for actual command.
For the present the plan Is expected
to be extended to division command
ers and their entire stats and to bri-
gade commanders and one or two of
their key staff officers.
These plans are strong evidence of
the determination of the Federal
Government to develop to the utmost
the efficiency of the small Army upon
which this country relies for protec-
ton in case of national emergency.
They are in line with recommends
tions made reeently by General John
]. Pershing. In a world so turbulent
and disorganized, common prudence
would seem to dictate the advisable
ity Of such training as q permanent
program.

Scandinavia

There is something almost epic in
the prompt and firm resolve of the
five Northern Scandinavian govern
nlents and peoples-Sweden, Den
mark, Norway, Iceland and Fin
land-to lock arms in defense of
F1nland's menaced independence.
The aggregate population of the
northern countries-some 17000,-
000-is just about one-tenth that of
Soviet Russia, with whose might
Finland, though not yet actually
threatened, is faced at the outset of
fateful negotiations this week. Fol-
lowing the demarche which the
United States, coincident with para
llel action by the Stockholm, Oslo
and Copenhagen governments, made
at Moscow on October IL, it remains
to be seen whether the Kremlin will
refrain from making demands on
Finland calculated to imperil peace
full relations between Russia and
that country.
The Kings of Sweden, Norway and
Denmark and the President of Fin
land have meantime arranged, at the
invitation of King Gustav, to confer
atStockholm next Wednesday,. Their
purpose frankly is to exhibit for the
benefit of all concerned the spirit
of solidarity that animates. the free
peoples Of Northern Europe at this
hour. Hardly one of them could have
imagined that Germany's invasion of
Poland, or Angio-French declaration
Of war on the Reich, would within a
bare five weeks lead to events involv-
ing the integrity of the S andinavian
Peninsula, for on September there
was no sign of a Hitler Stain deal
which would pave the way to Soviet
dominance in the Baltic.
The subsection of Estonia, Latvia
and Lithuania abruptly changed the
situation. Today Swedes, Norwe-
gians, Danes, 1celanders and Firms
are united by bond of common
peril as they envision the Red bear
advancing westward to ice-free Bal
tic waters and hankering for harbors
and naval bases in the Gulf Of Fin
land and the Gulf of Bothnia. The
dread shadow of Communism accom-
panies the march of imperialist Boil
shevism. It is to prevent that shadow
from casting its blight over democ-
racy's bulwark farthest north, which
is Scandinavia, that the races
through which the blood of the Vik-
ings surges are banded together in
solid phalanx of mutual assistance
and of resistance to q movement
that endangers the national safety
and political institutions of each one
of them.
Were Finland or any of the. other
Scandinavian peninsular states to
succumb to the corroding influence
Of Red Russia, the lights Of liberty
would 60 out in that corner Of Eu-
rope. They have led the rest of the
world, in our own day and genera
tion, IN countless fields Of humani-

Austria is gone although away back
soon after the Revolution Henry A.
Muhlenburg was named first American
Minister. There is a Hungary now but
Tor many years there was not. And back
OF that, again, there also was a King
dom OF Hungary. In its last days before
1t became part of the Austro- Hungarian
Empire, two interesting figures were ap-
pointed diplomatic representatives there,
although they never actually served.
They were John Hay and Horace Greeley.
One Of the most interesting lines OF
American Ministers has been that ac-
credited to the Spanish court under the
kings. Beginning with William Short we
find such great names as Thomas and
Charles Pinckney Of South Carolina,
James Monroe, John Bowdoin of Massa-
chusetts, Arthur Middleton, q signer Of

ington Irving, Carl Schurz, Gen. Daniel
Sickles, who lost q leg at Gettysburg,
and John Hay. In 1873 Spain was .
