CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

LET all the earth fear the Lord:
let all the inhabitants OF the world
stand in awe of him. For he spake
and it was done; he commanded
and it stood fast" These words OF
the Psalmist are the Golden Text
in the Lesson-Sermon on God the
ONLY Cause and Creator" on Sun
day in all Churches of Christ, Sci
enlist.
A Bible citation in the Lesson
Sermon includes these verses about
Jesus from Luke: "And it came to
pass also on another sabbath, that
he entered into the synagogue and
taught: and there was man whose
right hand was withered. And the
scribes and Pharisees watched, him,
whether he would heal on the sab
hath day: Then said Jesus unto
them, I will ask you one thing; Is
it lawful on the sabbath days 10
do good or to do evil? to save life,
or to destroy it? And looking round
about upon them all, he said unto
the man, Stretch forth thy hand
And he did so: and his hand was
restored whole as the other"
A passage from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy states: 1.-THE
law of Christ, or Truth, makes all
things possible to Spirit; but the
so-called laws of matter would rem
der Spirit of no avail, and demand
obedience to materialistic codes
thus departing from the basis Of
one God, one lawmaker."

Soviet Demands Estonio
Permit Naval Base

HELS1NKI. Finland, Sept. q R.
Usually reliable observers close to
Estonian official sources said TODAY
Soviet Russia has demanded pri-
orlty in use of Estonian ports and
permission to establish a naval base
on her coast.
Such base. these observers said
would be situated between Baltiski
at the entrance to the Gulf of Fin
land and Saaremaa on the west
coastline.
1t was the opinion of some OBJ
servers that Russias reported de-
mands during the negotiations with
Estonia regarding possible trade and
non-aggression pacts were in the
nature of an ultimatum. These de-
mands, it was said. lent credence to
belief Russia had no intention Of
permitting Germany to control the
Baltic.

'Persevere-to- Conquer Slogan
Makes Churchill Man of Hour
First InspirotionoI
Note of War Struck
By His Report
By LELAND STOWE.

Chicago Daily News Foreign CORRESPONDENT.
LONDON, Sept. 27.-Winston
Churchill today is Britain's man of
the hour and he may be on the way
toward being Britains man of to-
morrow After landing in the Cham
berlain war cabinet under irresist-
ible propulsion of public opinion,
the first lord of the admiralty, in
his initial report to the House of
Commons yesterday, struck the first
note of inspirational leadership that
has been sounded by governmental
spokesman since the war began. The
results have been electrifying in
Parliament and the press and among
the British people
1--WE have only to persevere to
conquer" AS Mr.. Churchill con-
cluded his speech with these words,
such cheers rang through the House
as have not been heard there in
many weeks and the corridors buz-
zed long afterwards with enthu-
siastic comments. Parliament's i'm
patient craving for action, coupled
to purpose and determination, has
at least been met by a key minister
IN the government. Repercussions
of Mr.. Churchill's breaking of his
three weeks silence are expected to
become increasingly evident within
the next few weeks, perhaps politi-
cally as we'll as in the general field
of British prosecution of the war.
First Genuine Information
Churchill made a deep impress
sion yesterday not only by his fight
ing words but by his frank factual
disclosure of the British navy's
most encouraging progress in reduc-
ing the scope of U-boat activities.
The Manchester Guardian de-
scribes his report as "the first piece
OF genuine information vouchsafed
by a minister since the war began"
to a public hungering for evidence
of Britain's contribution to the
checkmating and ultimate defeat of
Hitlerism. The first lord of the ad-
miralty's report came as long
awaited confirmation that "at last
W. oAC 6CIClllS IllOCI way.
Inevitably the prime minister's
cold, impersonal statement suffered
by contrast to Churchill's dynamism.
Observers in the House remarked
how completely the latter swept the
members of Parliament along with
him and, as consequence, specu-
lation has increased upon the likeli-
hood of further cabinet readjust-
ments before the autumn has
passed.
OF much greater immediate i'm
portance, however, is the fact that
Churchill has become a symbol and
rallying point for a positive, pur-
poseful war policy. His "persevere to
conquer" provides Britain with
slogan capable of rallying the Brit
ish people as they have not yet been
rallied.
Press Is Outraged.
Meanwhile, the impatience of the
parliamentarians and the press with
such muddling- along procedure as

Belief was expressed in some Mos

Mrs. Roosevelt Sees
j. ). Chance 10 Aid
Lasting Peace
Declares Chances Are
Better If Nation
Stoys Out Of War

The United States will have a bet
ter chance Of bringing about q last
ing peace in the world if it keeps out
of war, Mrs. Roosevelt told her press
conference today.
Declaring that the seeds of the
present war were sown at Versailles,
she said the people of the United
States should recognize the re-.
sponsibilty of leading the world to
state of mind where a lasting
peace is possible.
1t gives her horrible sinking
feeling" she said. when people say
the war in Europe is not any con-
Germ of the United States. This
country can't expect to get OF scot
free, she insisted, when the rest of
the world is suffering.
Such an attitude of isolation, she
declared, shows lack of apprecia-
ton of the fact that the United
States, as the only great Nation not
at war, is the only country that can
think about the future.
Civilization, she predicted, Is
doomed if peace, when it comes, Is a
repetition of the Versailles peace.
Everybody in the United States, she
said, should be concerned with the
kind of peace that is made.
OF neutrality law revision, she de-
clared, Il would like to see the EN-.
barge repealed because in looking
back over the experiences of the last
war, we are in greater danger with
the embargo than without it. But
that's up to Congress"
Reporting on her recent trip about
the country, she said she thought
most of the people were in favor of
the cash and carry policy. .
Whether the war will affect the
winter social functions at the White
House is still a question, although
Mrs. Roosevelt said that if the Presi-
dents work continues as heavy as it
is now, the functions will be cur
tailed. AS for the possibility of can
ceiling diplomatic reception. she said
that was up to the State Depart
ment
When one of the newspaper
women pointed out that President
Wilson, faced by similar situation,
turned the reception into a welcome
for his bride, Mrs Roosevelt re-
sponded with smile that she was
afraid the White House couldn't pro-
vide a wedding.

agency, was to discuss problems
connected with developments in
Poland"
Moscow observers thought it sig
nificant. however, that Won Ribben-
trop should time his journey to CO.
incide with the presence of Turkish
Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu.
Won Ribbentrop was scheduled to
dine with the German Ambassador
tonight. and 1t was believed unlikely
that his talks with Soviet officials
would start before tomorrow.
May Make Demands on Estonia.
While the impending visit of the
Nazi official occupied the center of
the stage, there was speculation on
the possibility that Russia may have
made strong demands for maritime
rights upon her little Baltic neigh
Dor, Estonia.
A government communique issued
last night accused Estonia of har-
boring unidentified submarines in
her waters, and declared that an
Estonian explanation of the escape
of the interned Polish submarine
Orzel from the harbor of Tallinn
had proved unsatisfactory"
Citing reports from Leningrad
that "periscopes of unknown subma-
rines" had been sighted near Luga
Bay in the Gulf of Finland, the COM
munique declared "one can arrive at
the conclusion that some unknown
submarines have a secret base some
where near the Estonian coast"
I'm view of these circumstances"
it added, "the question of insuring
the security of Soviet waters against
diversionist acts on the part of hid
ing submarines acquires great i'm
portance.
(Estonian Foreign Minister
Karl Setter, accompanied by Prof.
Juri Uluots, president of the
Chamber of Deputies, went to
Moscow today in connection with
the new Russian proposals, dis
patch from Tallin, Estonia, said)
The presence in Moscow of the
Turkish foreign minister led some
quarters to believe that Russia
might be seeking an important
agreement concerning the Turkish
controlled Dardenelles, the entrance

has marked the establishment of the
Ministry of Information remains un-
curbed. When Sir Edward Grigg re-
vealed yesterday that this minis
try's personnel includes only 43
journalists in total of 999 persons
on its rolls, jeers came from all
sections of the house. Demands are
louder than ever that experts on in
formation and publicity should re-
place many political appointees in
the fountainhead Of the nation s
wartime propaganda.
The press offers samples Of the
of information's personnel
contradictions, revealing its home
publicity departments in charge of
a professor of industrial relations, its
film publicity directed by an
organizer of the conservative party,
and similar discrepancies. 1t is
charged that the services of first
class journalists such as those who
were British correspondents in Ber-
lin until the war came have not
been sought. The press is all the
more outraged by these conditions
due to the recognition that DR..
Joseph Goebbels' highly efficient
propaganda ministry is in position
to keep the British in a seriously
inferior position on that front.
In any democracy the creation of
thoroughly effective home organiza-
tions for the prosecution of war is
always most difficult to achieve
speedily and Britain's present ex-
perience perhaps is not unusual in
that respect. Nevertheless, the Lon
don Daily Mail expresses a wide
spread feeling in an article TODAY
calling for Britain to use her best
men.
