Emphasizing the simplicity of the
ways OF the life OF the Christ, DR.,
Williams averred, To-day we are
in the midst OF a greatly disturbed
world. We are perhaps passing
through the greatest crisis this
world has ever known. We have
been wont to think OF it as the
result Of spiritual INSTRUMENTATION,
racia, and national completes. Yes,
and we have scorned the men who
have arisen against the system in
which they were reared because
they saw that something was wrong
with it.
But after all. the Christ may
choose this hour as the Most oppor-
tune one in which to convince men
that He is the bread and water OF
life. In thissvery hour he may pull
down great religious hierarchies
with their binding rituals he may
show their far departure from the

International Etiquette Is His Job

The post of chief of protocol of the
United States Department of State, now
ably filled by that genial career diplo-
mat, George T. Summerlin, is very
important one indeed International
politeness is his business. He supervises
diplomatic ceremonies with due regard
for precedence, sees that they function
smoothly, without interruption, and espe-
cially without loss of dignity for any one.
The success of the visit of the King and
Queen of Great Britain to Washington
depended to a considerable extent on his
tact and sagacity. Persons unacquainted
with the troubled history of protocol
may consider Mr.. Summerlin's activities
trifie quaint and some blunt Ameri-
dieval frumpery"; but, nevertheless, pro-
tocol remains an indispensable part of
State Department work.
Mr. Summerlin was not primarily
concerned with the physical safety of
visiting sovereigns and diplomats in
Washington. That important phase OF
protection is handled by Col. E. w. Star
ling, chief of the Secret Service detail at
the White House, assisted by all the SOL
ders and policemen he considered nee
essary. Upon the protocol officer falls
the much more subtle responsibility of
literally protecting diplomats from each
other. This is not so necessary now as
it was in former times, when a dispute
over diplomatic precedence frequently
led to threats of war or even bloodshed
on the spot but it is still important 70
see that ambassadorial feelings remain
unruffied.
Eurooean diplomats are still prone to

sons plain clothes presented beside diplo-
matte finery, but when the President of
the United States came in the English
man received a shock that lasted him for
the rest of his days. Mr.. Jefferson was
mot merely in undress, but actually
standing in slippers down at the heel
and both pantaloons, coat and under
clothes indicative of utter slovenliness. :"
Mr.. Merry subsequently complained to
his government that to his mind Mr..
Jefferson couldn't have attained such q
state of negligence except on purpose.
1t was many years before we reluc-
family gave in to international usage,
and to this day we haven't accepted it's
more extravagant forms. Until 1893 we
refused to send or receive full-fledged
Ambassadors. In the 1850s Secretary of
State Marcy was still giving strict orders
to our diplomats abroad to beware of the
gaudy clothes and high living of foreign
courts. The American yeoman would
punish at the polls any administration
that gave in to "high-falutin" ways. Our
peculiar attitude toward these matters
became known throughout the world,
and was pretty thoroughly resented.
American Ministers abroad frequently
were forced to cool their heels in outer
rooms while other diplomats who came
later were invited directly in to see the
foreign minister. During our century and
half of republican existence we have
taken the serious step of ejecting foreign
diplomats more often than any other
country, about IS times. On the other
hand, about six American diplomats have
been declared persona non grata by other
nations,

Topic to Be Handled Reverently.
BY Wade Werner,
Associated Press STAFF Correspondent.

Associated Press Staff Correspondent.
MOSCOW-Rarelyd does one hear an
argument over who might be the most
likely successor to Joseph Stain, the
man whose word is final in the u S. S. r.
In any country some topics have to
be handled with care akin to reverence,
and here this is one of them.
1t is admitted, Of course, that the
question of successor is bound to come
up some day But all good Soviet citi-
zens hope that day is many, many years
in the future.
One can live here six months on erd
without ever hearing a successor men,
toned.
1t was only recently, in March of this
year, that Stain was reelected to the
political bureau of the Central Commit
tee, the supreme steering committee of
the Communist party.
There was no visible inclination to
place on the committee 1t is taken
for granted now that Stain will be re-
elected as many times as he chooses, as
long as he lives.
Man is mortal, however, and if ever
occasion arises to choose a successor to
Stain the natural assumption is that
he would be one of the other members
of the Politbureau.
The Politbureau today consists of the
following:
A. A. Andreyeff, L. NJ Kaganovich,
M, I. Kalinin. N S. Khrushchef. A. l.
Mlkoyan, V. NJ Molotof, J. V. Stain,
K. Y, Voroshiloff and A. A. Zhdanoff
Name Does Not Head List.
Stains name. it will be noted, does
not head the official list; it appears in
alphabetical order.
One could suggest that this or that
personality on the list would be likely
successor to Stain, for this or that
reason. But such suggestion would be
very unWelcome, particularly to the man
singled out as likely candidate. 1t
just isn't done in Soviet Russia.
When Lenin died in 1924 the Polit-
bureau consisted of seven men: Trotsky,
Stain, Zinovieff, Kameneff, Rykof,
Bukharin and Tomsky.
Many foreign observer imagined
that Trotsky would inherit the mantle
Of Lenin-but that was because many
a foreign observer was not so we'll in
formed as he might have been.
1t eventually became apparent that
Stain was the most effective Interpreter
of the feminist program for Soviet Rus
sia. and in time all loyal Communists
acknowledged him as leader of the
party.
He still retained, however, the modest
title of general secretary of the Central
Committee Of the Communist party.

MussOlini's Choice Is Sealed.

ROME.-Mussolini who conceived the
Fascist system, has decided who shall
keep it running when he no longer is here
to issue the orders.
Presumably, no one but the Duce him.
self knows whom he has chosen to in
herlt his mantle. Actually, he is sup
posed to have nominated three posi-
Dilities, one of whom will be chosen to
succeed him in his dual role of chief
of the government and leader of the
FaSciSts.
When MuSsolini dies, the Fascist
Grand Council will break the seal of an
envelope containing their names and
choose among them, sending their selec-
ton 70 the King for his approval.
By the law of December 9. 1923, the
King appoints successor to the office of
prime minister from a list submitted by
the Grand Council. A law adopted a
year later provides that the Grand
Council, upon proposal of the head Of
the government. complies and revises
the list of persons to be submitted to

BERL1N.-Who would succeed Hitler
in case he should die suddenly? This is
question no longer asked in Germany.
Everybody seems to agree that there can
be but one man to fill Der Fuehrer'S
shoes: Field Marshal Hermann Goering
The 50th birthday celebration in honor
of Adolf Hitler produced new proof of
Hermann Goerngs unique standing
He was the spokesman of the Reichs
government when the entire cabinet as
Sembled in corpore in the new brilliant
chancellory to wish the chancellor god
speed.
When the heads of the army navy and
air force appeared as a congratulating
delegation. Goering was their spokesman.
And during the review of the gigantic
military parade in Der Fuehrer's honor,
Goering ranked directly behind Com
mander in Chief Adolf Hitler and ahead
of Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, head
of the navy, and Colleen. Walther Won
Brauchtisch, head of the army.
1t was matter of common comment
that the surging crowds. as Birthday
Child Adolf Hitler and his encourage

they shouted He'll Hitler

when the crowds shout enthusiastically.
TO shout Der Fuehrers Christian
name would seem like sacrilege, for
Adolf Hitler is a saint and messiah to

Relies on GOering for Advice.
When Germany is in serious crisis,
Hitler in the final analysis relies upon
Goerlng for advice or to carry out the
project he has in mind.
This fact was first evident during the
famous purge of June 80. 1884, when
S. A. Comdr. Ernst Roehm and others
were wiped out. The task of cleansing
PruSsia-Which means two-thirds of
what was then Germany-Was assigned
to Goering
Missions of the most delicate kind
have been intrusted to him by Hitler
1t was Goering who obtained Mussolini's
acqulescence in the dismemberment of
Czecho- -Slovakia and the annexation of
Memel
Of the numerous Offices held by Goer-
ing-and nobody except the Fuehrer
himself has such a concentration of
offices-none is more important than
that of director or dictator of the four
year plan for economic self -sufficiency.
No greater proof of Hitler's confidence
could have been given than the act of
intrusting Goering with this function.
which is vital and essential to the ex-
istence of Germany.

Division on Child Labor.

There was a sharp division about the
jurisdiction of the court over ratification
of the pending child labor amendment.
The effect of the decisions in the Kan
sas and Kentucky cases before the court
was a victory for the advocates of the
amendment. BY its own "self-restraint"
the court refused to say whether Is years
was an unreasonable period" for ratifi-
cation.
The Mayor Frank Hague-Jersey City
civil rights decision attracted as much,
if not more, attention than the courts
condemnation Of the sit-doWn strike i'll
the Fansteel case. Although only seven
members of the court participated in the
decision, there were five separate opin-
ions. Justices McReynolds and Butler
dissented outright and the other five
members agreed to the invalidity of the
Jersey City ordinance regulating the
holding of public meetings and the dis
tribution of literature, but differed as
to reasons for sustaining the jurisdic-
ton of the Federal Court to issue an in
junction against enforcement of the or
victory for the c. I. O. and direct
blow to Mayor Hague's strictly and
roughly enforced embargo against union
organizers and Socialist speakers.
In many respects the term just ended
was one of the most important in the
courts long history. The concept of
rigid, steel-bound Constitution was re-
placed by doctrine of f1eXibility. An
cient decisions we're repudiated and new
principles were established. This term
was notable for the extremely high pro-
portion of cases in which the lower
courts were reversed. In fact, reversal
was the rule and affirmance the excep-
.tion in cases coming from Federal cir
cult courts of appeals, where many OF
the older judges are still sitting.
The spring of 1887 saw the beginning
OF the turn. The 1889 term proved
that Mr.. Roosevelt has made a definite
mark on the judicial system, one that
will remain long after he has departed
from the White House.

Presumably, there was no special proto-

Soon after the election of 1900 the Brit
