The most thrilling encounter of
the present world war occurred
off the coast of Uruguay last week
when the three British cruisers.
Exeter, Achilles and Ajax engaged
the Graft Spec, German pocket
battleship, in a death struggle
which lasted throughout the day
near the port Of Montevideo. After
a running battle the Graf Spec
slipped into the harbor of Monte
video at full speed with guns
blazing. Thirty-one of her sailors
were given mass burial on Satur-
day, while h e three British
cruisers had death toll of II
killed and 80 wounded. Facing in
ternment or another battle with
the British cruisers which lurked
outside the Montevideo, the Graft
Spec sailed cut to the three mile
limit on Sunday afternoon and
was destroyed by explosions set
off by her own crew. Rather than
fall into the hands of the British
as a prize of war, the captain of
the Inflated vessel chose to send
her to Davy jones' locker, and
another chapter in British naval
history was written.

Restutement of POLICY

1t was wholly fitting and proper
that President Roosevelt, addressing
the Congress on it's one hundred and
flftieth anniversary, should have re-
stated the American conception Of
democracy and reaffirmed this Ma
tions determination to preserve by
every peaceful means the ideals OF
human freedom which are the key
stone of the democratic philosophy
of government.
The Presidents address was COM
mendably mild in tone, but there was
no mistaking his meaning when he
said that the United States, with
many other democracies, will give
no encouragement to the belief that
our processes are outworn or that we
will approvingly watch the return of
forms of government which for 1000
years have proved their tyranny and
their instability alike"
Mr.. Roosevelt did not mean by that
language that he was advocating
merely passive policy Of non-en-
couragement of the dictator states.
Lest some might draw such an in
ference, he stated explicitly that the
United States, far from encouraging
the spread of tyranny by remaining
passively silent, proposed to con
tend by every peaceful means" for
the preservation of the freedom of
religion, as we'll as the other great
freedoms guaranteed by our Bill of
Rights. In that statement of policy,
he spoke with the firm support of
the great majority of the American
people.
To the nations of the world, the
address gave notice that the Presi-
dent, in the face of some ill-con-
sidered opposition at home, has not
retreated from the fundamentally
sound position he had taken pre-
viously with respect to the conduct
OF our foreign affairs. And for the
people Of this country the speech
served a dual purpose-first, to re-
direct their attention to the incal-
culable benefits they derive from our
democratic form of government, and,
second, to still any groundless fears
as to alleged presidential saber rat
Ting which may have been inspired
by an effort to make political capital
out Of the Presidents constructive
attitude in the face of what is
admittedly a critical international
situation.

toward our fellow men. Call 1t counsel
of perfection If we will, it is a funda-
mental principle enunciated by Christ,
and it has vital bearing upon all hu-
man relations, community, national and
international.
Considered in the light Of the situa-
ton in the world today it Is certainly
most pertinent and practical in inter-
preting what must be just and con-
sistent course in all our dealings with
our neighbors. 1t also has striking ap-
plication to all those sectional and racial
problems that vex men the world over.
In the mind of the Master there was no
such term as allen" All men shared
common life, had common failings and
were subject to the same physical and
moral weaknesses. What He attempted
to do was to prescribe cure for human
ills. He coupled faith and worship with
daily habit. He sought to ease the strain
OF life by making men see and feel that
they were common sharers in the worlds
blessings or ills.
We are finding that most of our man
maui oIiClIlcS lOl ItCOllClllIlP llulIldll Oil .
ferences have signally failed us. We give
hate for hate, condemnation for con-
demnation, we build battleship for bat
tleshlp. AS a matter of fact, arms COM
petition has been substituted for mutual
understanding and good will and the
spirit Of "give and take" We advocate
peace and good will while we create
situations that make impossible these
greatly to be desired ends We speak in
eloquent terms of the closer knitting of
the ties of unity in state and church,
while we create neutral zone across
which no one may pass. We substitute
the arts of diplomacy for the spirit of an
unembarrassed fraternity of interests.
We promote clever bargaining and re-
fuse to practice the methods of recon-
ciliation.
First be reconciled to thy brother" Is
principle of life designed to govern
men in all their relations one with
another. Were it made an active prin-
ciple in church and state and in all
those large concerns that have to do with
the veal and peace Of peoples and gov
ernments, we should have better
world, better citizens and better expo
nents of the Christian faith.

A WAY OF LIFE
By the Right Rer Jdn,es,E. Freeman, d. d. ILL., d. c. L.,
Bishop of Washinqton.

We are finding today that our fine pro-
tested by new standards of judgment.
The world about us is definitely apprais-
ing us and saying, What you are speaks
so loud cannot hear what you say" To
express our belief in terms of the ideal
or to profess our devotion to lofty stand
ards of living is not enough.
Repeatedly we are being admonished
that reverent recognition of Christs
teaching or voluble profession of re-
ligious faith must disclose itself in daily
habit and conduct. 1t is show me thy
faith by thy works" The sternest con-
demnation that ever fell from the lips of
Christ was addressed to those who pro-
fessed much but did little To these
superficial exponents of religious faith
He declared: aye make clean the outside,
but within ye are full of all manner of
uncleanness" He could forgive one who
out of weakness or human frailty had
sinned; He would not abide those who
maintained their righteousness in the
face of gross inconsistency in dealing
with their fellows.
Frequent reference is made today to
the immortal words of Christ contained
in the Sermon on the Mount" This
great message, found in the fifth, sixth
and seventh chapters of st. Matthews
Gospel, is being widely cited as the norm
or standard by whose precepts the
worlds order, peace and happiness are
to be maintained. In this great sermon
the Master boldly affirms: Except your
righteousness shall exceed the righteous
ness of the Scribes and Pharisees ye
shall in no case enter the Kingdom of
Heaven" Rising to high standards of
appraisal, He reminds us that, beyond an
act Of violence against our fellows, even
ungenerous anger or unconsidered judg-
ments are to be condemned. He de-
mands that before we shall presume to
express our devotion in terms of wor-
ship, We shall deal justly and honestly
with our neighbors. He declares that if
in our act of worship we remember that
a brother hath aught against us. we shall
suspend our devotions and first be
reconciled" to our brother. In other
words, fitness to worship or to profess
our faith is conditioned by our attitude

encouragement to Crime

While no one supposes that the
judges of the District Court are in
different to an increase in crime in
the Nations Capital, there are al
ready indications that their untimely
abolition of one of our three criminal
courts may tend to encourage law
lessness.
Carefully kept records indicate con-
vincingly that the volume of crime
decreases as the trial and punish
ment of offenders is speeded up, and,
conversely, that the volume increases
when trials are long deferred. In
other words, the knowledge on the
part of potential criminals that, If
arrested, they will be tried promptly
and sent to jail tends to discourage
many of them from committing
crimes.
The third criminal court, estab-
lished to enable the District Attorney
to bring his docket up to date, was
dispensed with by the judges at the
beginning of the February term. AS
a result of the diligent efforts of the
prosecuting staff, the backlog OF
untried cases had been materially
reduced but there were still 1913 in
dictments awaiting trial. With only
two courts to handle the work, that
total rose during the February term
to 2l8, an increase of twenty untried
cases.
During the February term each of
the two judges sitting in criminal
courts was i'll and several court days
were lost as a result, but there is no
reason to suppose they could have
done better than to keep abreast of
current work had they been able to
attend to their duties throughout the
entire term.
Experience has shown that, under
favorable circumstances, the present
volume of indictments can be dis
posed of currently with two criminal
courts. That being the case, it is all
the more regrettable from the stand
point of adequate law enforcement
that the judges did not see fit to con-
tinue the third court for the few ad-
ditional months that would have been
required to bring the criminal docket
up to date.
The third criminal court was abol-
ished in order that the Judge doing
that work might be available to help
relieve the serious congestion in the
law and equity branches of the court,
but with one new judge already ap-
pointed, although not yet on the
bench, and another still to be named,
1t would appear that a continuance
OF the unfavorable condition in the
criminal courts is too high price to
pay for what must prove to be
relatively slight amelioration of the
jam in the civil courts.

service by Pan American Airways.
While Mrs. Roosevelt was breaking
over the bow of the Yankee Clipper
bottle containing water from the
Seven Seas, one of the six sister flying
boats was unloading in Hong Kong
after a demonstration flight across
the Pacific.
A third clipper is on the water at
San Francisco and three more are in
final construction stages at Seattle.
In a day when all the world is striv-
ing for military supremacy in the
air, this fleet of forerunners of what
is expected to become a great aerial
merchant marine will give the
United States an undisputed leader
ship in the mounting competition
for international air transport su-
premacy.
These are the largest airplanes,
civil or military, in the world today.
If six months of the most rigorous
flight testing to which any airplane
has yet been subjected prove any
criterion, they are among the most
efficient aircraft yet produced for
long-range air transportation.
The name Yankee Clipper is highly
significant. just a little more than
century ago, the first Yankee Clip
per sheeted home her towering can
vas in Baltimore Harbor and bore off
to blaze the way to three decades of
glorious American leadership on the
sea lanes. Those beautiful clippers,
the fastest things that sailed, gave
this country a vast share of the
worlds trade. The name Yankee
Clipper is one of this Nations proud
est heritages.
In the words of Chairman Noble
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority at
the christening: These great air.
planes carry no message of destruc-
ton. In the traditional American
way they will show the world that the
blessings of ingenuity and skill can
and should be turned not to destruc-
ton, but to peace and prosperity"
These things Washington people
seemed to sense Friday. The re-
suit was one of the most astonishing
displays of aviation enthusiasm since
RI
his flight to Paris twelve years ago.
The Yankee Clipper was given
spontaneous send-of worthy of a
champion.
May her career and that of her
mighty sisters be as glorious and as
productive of good as were those of
the magnificent clippers of century
ago!

The Arunhu Mission

AT the end of some three weeks of
intensive conferences with the State
department and the Treasury, DR..
OsWaldo Aranha, foreign minister of
Brazil, has concluded ARRANGEMENTS
which comprehend a far-reaching
economic entente between the two
largest republics of the western
world. The agreement, providing for
financial and commercial conces-
slons by this country that are in
some respects unique, symbolizes the
close ties which bind Brazil and the
United States.
1t is a timely exemplifcation of
American solidarity and evidences
both the intent and the ability of
the sister nations of this hemisphere
to thWart by practical means the
efforts of the totalitarian powers to
transplant their ideologies, both
political and economic, to our side
OF the Atlantic. Brazil has been the
special sphere of such attempts,
especially by Nazi Germany. States
men like President Vargas and
Senior Aranha have played major
roles in frustrating these Berlin-en-
gineered designs on the American
way.
1t has been agreed in principle
that:
l. The United States will extend
credits approximating $2O0OO,OOO to
free Brazils frozen exchange. thus
permitting payments now in arrears
, to American business.
2. The Export-Import Bank will
finance American exporters seeking
Brazilian markets, and,
3. Brazil will create a central re-
serve bank, which would probably
function through the cooperation
of the United States stabilization
fund, to secure greater stability in
Brazilian national currency and for
eign exchange.
In addition to these concrete
measures, plans are under way for
foundation of Brazilian-A American
corporation at Rio de Janeiro to pro-
mote development of mon -competi-
tive" products for export to the
United States and other countries.
