Further official investigation
showed that more than $4,000

authorities concerned, the Public,
Health Service has traced the
shipment of the shaving brushes
back to the importer. Action has
been taken or is in progress with
respect to all known wholesale
stocks. AS there can be no assur-
ance that all stocks have been To-
Gated, because of incomplete, lost,
or missing records and other
trade practices, the surgeon-gen-

chasers be warned of the danger
in the use of the brushes.
Action has also been taken
through the proper channels for
the holding up in customs of any
future shipments of shaving
brushes until determined free
from contamination. This action
is to be taken regardless of wheth-
er or not the shipment is accom-
panied by a certificate of sterili-

God is no respecter of persons.
Sometimes one wonders whether
many of His people know about that
glorious attribute of the GOdhead.
One thing is evident. that very few
care to practice this divine princi-
pie. Just now the world seems to
have gone entirely berserk in its
proclamation of race superiority.
Along with undue and improper rec
ognitiOn of wealth and position,
there has always been in the hearts
of men a measure of prejudice
against other races. These hatreds
seem now to have been famed to
a flaming intolerance Of such as
are not of what some regard as
their own superior race. The more
definite this intolerance, the more
unlike God people really are. Let
us weigh ourselves III the balances
and see if we too are found wanting.

Peter was a Jew. and GOO now
used vision to teach him much

The Jews were (and still are-let
us remember it, Gods chosen peo-
pie. However, they were not cho-

Gods blessing to all nations.
Cornelius was typical of those III
every nation who are ready for the
preaching of the gospel. He was a
God-fearing, righteous man, but
none the less in need of redemp-
ton. God brought this man who
was ready to receive the message
together with the man Peter who
was prepared to preach it, and the
result was salvation.
Whatever it may be that keeps
us from carrying the gospel to all
nations, we ought to recognize as IN
christian, and put it aside 1t may
be race prejudice, for it still per

about another great interoceanic
waterway across Central Amer
ica. From defense standpoint,
they think we ought to keep all
our Canal eggs in one basket. Our
military and naval authorities are
agreed, moreover, that we haven't
begun to exhaust possibilities of
the Panama Canal. They say it's
capable of taking care of at least
200 per cent more traffic than it now
handles, by the relatively simple and
inexpensive eXpedient of construct
ing half a dozen additional locks
and working the canal personnel in
three shifts of a 24-hour day, in
stead of for only eight hours as at
present.
Another important factor which
enters into Uncle Sans reluctance to
dig a Nicaragua canal is the objec-
tions raised by Costa Rica and Ell
Salvador While the Bryan-Cha-
MORO treaty was under negotiation,
both those countries filed diplomatic
demurrers. Costa Rica maintained
that under treaty signed in 1858,
Nicaragua was pledged to seek Costa
Rica's opinion before entering into
any canalization arrangements. Ell
Salvador protested on the ground
that the Gulf of Fonseca was under
some form of joint control by Hon
duras, Ell Salvador and Nicaragua,
and that the Managua government
could not make a canal deal with
the United States without the con-
sent of the two other countries.
Both the United States and Nicara-
qua having rejected these various
protests. Costa Rica and El Salvador
appealed to the Central American
Court of Justice.
Eventually the controversy put
that tribunal out of business. The
court upheld the contentious of
Costa Rica and Ell Salvador as far as
their relations with Nicaragua were
concerned, but found it had no
jurisdiction with reference to the
United States, and could therefore
not declare the -Chamorro
treaty null and void. This was about
the year 1917. Thenceforward the
usefulness of the Central American
court faded into innocuous desue-
tude. In 1923 the United States
and Costa Rica signed an agree
ment to enter into negotiations if
and when the President of the
United States was authorized to pro-
ceed with the Nicaragua canal: but
that protocol was never ratified
by either country. But it was an
indication of our willingness to ne
gotiate with Costa Rica before we
turned any earth in Nicaragua.
