VOICE OF AMERICA
 IN WORLD CONFLICT

Standing aloof from the Flu ropean struggle, America is as yet in position to appeal to the warning nations to observe the conventions and treaties which would assure the safety and rights of neutrals and more hu mane methods of warfare.
 President Roosevelt, irrespect i've of his attitude on the arms embargo question, has transmitt- ed to the belligerents and neu- trals certain messages of appeal which doubtless have been effect i've in a measure. Finland and the Scandinavian nations in their conferences have expressed great appreciation of his words.
 Other nations have not disre- garded them. Just how effective his appeals will prove in the ul- timate is question, but un- doubtedly it is necessary that some nation in such an hour of passionate conflict to offer the calm counsel and plea so es- sential to avert resort to unbrid- led and indiscriminate warfare and practices that would destroy the last vestige of safety and rights as between nations and menace civilization.
 America stands in a position of unusual eminence and respon- sibilty in these critical times. May her voice never fail nor lack or respect in the cause that is just.

 PEACE IS GOOD NEWS SAYS PASTOR

Tn a sermon at the First Baptist church yesterday morning, Rev. Da- vid P. Gaines, pastor, stressed our country's part toward bringing about a lasting world peace would be an active international coopera- ton and distribution of natural resources.
 Claiming that the two conditions necessary to world peace are "--some kind of world organization to keep the peace and more equit- able distribution of the worlds re- sources"
 We have always stood forth for peace, Rev. MT. Gaines said in part, but so far have refused to do the two things necessary to gain that end. We would have no part in the World Court or the Leaguge of Na- tions and twill be willing to give Up natural resources which may af- feet the standard of living of every body?"
 Peace is good news" he closed, but can we pay the price2"
