Churchmen Back Plan.
Earlier, spokesmen of virtually
every Christian faith had Endorsed
the proposal without qualification
Saying he has received appeals
personally from Germany asking
refuge for individual children. Rev
DR.. Maurice Sheehy, head of the
Department of Religious Education
at Catholic University, appealed to
the committee to approve the reso-
luton.
I'VE are rapidly becoming a child :
less Nation" the priest warned, land
there is more than ample room for
this limited number of children"
Defeat of the measure. he de-
clared, would be interpreted as a
triumph for Nazi policies, adding
There is temporary madness or
insanity besetting the German gov
ernment which I do not believe the
German people share"
Cardinals Views Read.
Wilbur La Roe. Washington law
yer, read a statement from George
Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago
which said:
These children have done NO
wrong. In providing them a sanctu-
ary where they can grow up in the
ways of peace and walk in the paths
Of Righteousness, we will help not
only them but ourselves. If we suf-
fer little children to come unto us,
we will demonstrate to the world
our own devotion to the sancity of
human life.
1T is planned that the religious
upbringing of the children shall be
in charge of those of their own reli-
gious faith, and that the children
shall be placed in the homes OF
families of their own religious
faith"
From the Protestant faiths came
Endorsement by the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ, official
federation of "a Christian denomi-
nations with total membership of
22,000,000.
AS representative of the council,
the Rev. Samuel McCrear Cavert
cited resolution of approval passed
by his group.
II have no hesitation in saying
on the basis of wide contacts with
ministers in all parts of the coun-
try" DR.. Vavert declared, that
there is no public question today in
which they have more sympathetic
Interest than this proposal to provide

Swapping What We Don't Need for
 What We Do Need
lPhiladelphia Recordl

One of the best ideas in years is the proposal to swap surplus American wheat and cotton for stores rubber and tin which can be supplied us by British Dutch Belgians
 Briefly, the plan would
 l. Get rid of our farm surpuses which otherwise will depress domestic farm prices
 ?. Give food and cotton to three European nations that both
 3. Begin a storage pile of strategic raw materials in this country which would greatly enhance our chances of staying out of the next war
 4 Save money since the cost of storing tin and rubber would be much less than the of storing cotton and wheat
 Of all those reasons the third is the most impor- tant The United States is more nearly sef-suffcient economically than any other nation but do lack few raw materials for which adequate substitutes are available
 If a general war broke out abroad the price of the materials forced to import would soar. More American ships might be attacked if sent into foreign waters in quest of those materials.
 It might even come about that would be forced to fight to break blockade on Malaya some other remote spot in order to protect an economic lifeline to essential material.
 At present We have hoard of $15 0000 000 worth of gold at Fort Knox In case of emergency such general abroad this gold of particu- lar use to But for billion or more we could make the United States reasonably sef-suffcient in every essential raw material.
 The Government could hold the stocks of raw rubber and tin until the supply cut off greatly cmtaied then sell them to industry a normal price
 The barter scheme put forward by Senator Byrnes. with Administration approval has only flaw
 It's not big enough. For s85. 100000 worth of rub Der and s65000000 worth of tin would be only be- ginning.
 Let's swap our wheat and cotton for that and then go on to swap surplus gold for the rest of what we would require to be self-suffcient
 Senator Byrnes says his plan is not similar to the NaZi barter system. Let's not bubble that If the barter system for all it's obvious faults is the only basis on which we do business, then we'll do busi- ness by the barter system.
 Whatever it's called the proposed deal is trade at its best
 The exchange of something can't use for some thing we use, and which may need desperately in the future

MONDAY, MAY 8, 1889

The week begins favorably in planetary direction, according to astrology. After early morning bene- fic aspects are dominant i Women are subject to disturbing and disappointing influences under this rule of the stars which en- courages attention to personal af- fairs and avoidance of public activi- tics. The stars frown upon feminine ambitions.
 This should be an suspicious con- figuration under which to invest in projects associated with government plans. Capitalists and industrialists should benefit at this time.
 Good feeling is presaged as mer- chants, manufacturers engineers and contractors engage in ambiti- ous enterprises. Airplane building will attain a large output.
 The portents are adverse for Stalin, head of the Soviet govern ment, whose regime comes under a most threatening sway Many  changes in the personnel of his gov ernment are prognosticated
 Again astrologers emphasize the probability of sudden crises in inter national relations. The unexpected will happen. despite the extreme alertness of world leaders
 A rising Mars may quicken mili- tary activities in China where Japa- nese invaders come under hostile planetary influences. Another earth quake is foretold for Japan.
 Mexico will benefit through the benefic sway of Jupiter and closer rela tions. trade and governmental. may be expected through the sum mer.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of upheavals and changes. Good is indicated through circumstances that may be well adapted to progress.

tary decorating the tomb of the Unknown Soldier the King and Queen are proceeding to New York for a cautious look at the Worlds Fair Most of their time there will be spent at the British Empire exhibit and it will be safe say that neither George nor Eliza beth for all their 40 trunks will have good time at the fair you or I would.
 They will sail home with the cheers of millions of Americans ringing in their ears, but they will have seen less of America than any of million Amer- cans in Sunday afternoons drive in the family automobile.

COMPANY'S COMING

When King George and Queen Elizabeth sailed from Portsmouth Saturday for Canada and the United States the worried world the most hopeful sign yet that there will be in Europe at least for the present and immediate future.
 That there could be war in Europe in 1889 with England being in the thick of it. that the British Premier and Cabinet would sanction the sovereigns departure on the eve of such conflict, equally unthinkable
 Clearly, as far as British statesmen can see there $ no war imminent And British statesmen have reputation for being able to call the turn in such matters
 This will be the first visit of King and Queen of England to the United States British sovereigns in the past have had a whole world in which they could travel just to visit their domnions. In fact, the present voyage is undertaken primarily to visit Canada But modern transportation facilities make the world smaller every year. trip from Lon don to New York is nothing to get excited about nowadays, even when the travellers are as exalted as the two now on the Atlantic
 At first the plan was for the royal travellers to come across on the battleship Repulse Whether be- cause the accommodations that formidable warship were considered poor or the psychological effect on the world of such voyage bad the warship needed in home waters stated, the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Australia substituted and the King and Queen are coming as civilians.
 They are not traVellng exactly as you or would. News stories mentioning 40 trunks Of royal baggage remind that Kings and Queens after all, are in a class apart
 The effect upon the United States of having George and Elizabeth visitors at this time will be to draw this nation closer in friendship and sym pathy with country with which already almost inexlicaby associated Perhaps the apparent humbng of British prestige at Munich had the effect in the United States Of showing up feet of clay on the white knight but the bond is still so strong between the two nations that where England goes the United States will be bound at least in sympathy, to follow.
 The King and Queen to swing briefly through Eastern Canada the principal event of the journey, in the eyes of most Americans at least being audi ence for the Dionne quintuplets who are travelling down from Callendar in a special train to their King and Queen at Toronto Here, again another little pressed original fit of recalctrance and agreed that maybe it would be fitting for the qunts to leave their nursery home for the first time than the royal visitors travel difficult stretch of country to Callendar
 From the border to Washington the royal special train is not going to stop It will speed over American rails direct to the Capital switches which will be spiked shut against the possi- bity of accident The Chief of Scotland Yard has careful arrangements for the safety of the royal travellers.

 Reichschancelor Adolf Hitler celebrated his ffti- eth birthday, appropriately enough, by watching parade of 40000 German soldiers a flock of tanks and some mammoth fieldpieces But the birthday of the head of sovereign state would be incomplete without suitable tokens of esteem from abroad.
 From England Der Fuehrer received a pleasant greeting from King George whose personal secreara never forgets birthday wedding, funeral There was another birthday present, of a different sort which must have added little to the joyous celebration in Berlin. This the unofficial but well-founded report that Britain and France have proposed the Soviet Union a hard-and-fast military alliance.
 Ingeniously parrying the inquiries Of newspaper men, the British Foreign Office has discaimed the report asserting in a somewhat prophetic phrase that is in advance of the facts" In short if the story IS not true it soon will be
 Thus it begins to look though Herr Hitler is to retire at the premature age of 50 from his ambitious program of conquests Mighty though it is his newly created army is not match for the combined forces of Britain, France Russia, and Poland. tThese latter enjoying the oral support of branch of the Ameri can Government)
 By colossal exercise of will-power and shrewd planning, Herr Hitler has recreated a powerful Ger many But the very brazenness and dramatic quality of his methods may spell his failure Precisely because his declared ambitions were so vast and his methods so ruthless, the Napoleon has forged grand alliance" to letter his schemes of imitless power.
