countries, owed us billions, which
they never have paid. Senator
johnson of California got law
passed prohibiting any further Amer
lean loans to our defaulting debtors.
Now it's proposed, DESPITE this law,
to give today's belligerents 80 days
per purchase to pay for whatever
arms they may buy from us. If we
stand pat on the Johnson law, says
Senator Pittman, we discriminate in
Germany's favor, inasmuch as Ger
many isn't one of our defaulters and
England and France are. Advocates
of this concession maintain that such
a 90-day allowance isn't debt, but
a customary commercial accOmOda-
ton. It's trifle too technical a point
for the ordinary commercial in
telligence to consider understandings
ly, but no doubt it has its merits.
Anyway, Senator CaDper listens
to these arguments and dissents non
quarrelsomely. It's unusual in a pa
cifist.

Interesting Meet
OF Aycock PIT. A.

The -Parent-Teacher Association
.ofz~Charles B. Aycock school met
"a fternoon with a large
in attendance.
=. An entertaining program was
gwen. under the direction of J. H.
Burroughs, program chairman.
.devotions were led by Mrs.
id. Edwards, who emphasized the
<fdct that the restlessness of today
is due to the need Of God and the
fellowship with Christians. We have
access to God, she said, but are we
accepting Him, and winning others
10 His Kingdom? The people of the
East need prayer now more than
at any other time Mrs. Edwards
asked that the members pray that
strife shall soon cease and that
Christianity shall reign supreme
among the belligerent nations.
The audience joined in the sing
ing of familiar songs and rounds.
A delightful, humorous reading
was given by Miss Marie Pickett,
entitled, "Susans and Johns Bar
cain'
Timely remarks were made by
the president. Mrs. J. E. Murphy
and by Prof w. c. Poe, who well
coined those present and explained

a-patrolled, lest demonstrators
muss up its architecture to call at
tention to their cause. They did it
the last time, with considerable re-
suItant damage.
Senator Caper's Reasoning
Senator Capper, though, while as
good pacifist as the best of them,
IS thoroughly rational. Rather than
fight for peace, he eVangelizeS for it,
He talks convincingly, but his Ian
guage is temperate. If he thinks that
a fellow senator isn't quite as pro-
peace as he'd like him to be, he
doesn't assume to1t his associate is
a war-monger; he tries to convert
him, not to tear off his scalp.
There's a deal of argument for
American military preparation, to
keep us out Of war This is all right
with Senator Capper, but he wants
to be darned sure that the prepara-
tory program isn't ulteriorly (and
perhaps sub-consciously) content
plative of getting Uncle Sam into
war later.
Senator Nye's the upper congress
sional chambers outstanding neu-
tralist Other senators are just as
neutral as he is. Senator Capper's
one of 'em. But Nye invented our
neutrality law, which makes his con-
spicious.
Well, Nye and Capper agree They
are an interest pair.
Nye comparatively is young. If we
get into this war; probably he'll be
alive to experience its subsequent
unpleasantness-a wrecked world
including America. He has personal
reaosns for disliking the prospect
Capper's a very old man Personally,
he's disintercsted. He's just using his
best judgment for posterity. For him
self, he won't be here.
Honest Differences
There's room for honest differ
ences of opinion on the neutrality
issue.
Senators Nye and Capper submit
that, if we don't sell arms to any
belligerent at all, that's neutrality.
But Chairman Pittman and Bloom
of the senate and house foreign re-
lations committees sap it isn't be-
cause, if we sold arms indiscrimi-
nately, anybody could come here
and get em. That is, England and
France could, but Geramny could

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - With the domination of Finland, which seems not likely to take long, Russia has placed herself in a position to become the great sea power she so long has boasted of being.
 Finland is the end of Act of the Russian play of conquest. In that act she has, or will have, absorbed the Baltic.
 Act II, competent sources inform us, will concern the Balkans.
 The first step of Russian boot across the border spelled the end of Finland as free state. Even with Russia's lackadaisical transport system, the conquest appeared inev- itable. The time required could only depend upon the extent to which Russia wanted to push the conquest.

Dece mber Co m modify Closes af S1.07 Bushel
 Reasons Given

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 16.-Wheat prices advanced nearly four cents bushel to the highest prices since october. 1937.
 The hlgn prlces are inspired by the low estimates of the Argentina crop prospects, continued drought in the United States grain belt and Norways unexpected purchasing of 250,000 bushels.
 December wheat closed today on the Grain Market Exchange at $1.07 a bushel.
