A LABOR SUNDAY REFLECTION
By the Right ReU James E. Freeman, d. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.,
Bishop of WdShtnQton.

and gave to the social implications of the
GOSPEL q new meaning. Peabody, Strong
and Rauschenbush in America and other
courageous leaders stressed the teachings
Of the Nazarene. and the Christian
Church entered the lists to contend for
equity, fair play, more wholesome sani-
tary conditions, the abolition of child
labor and many other salutary and es-
sential reforms.
was coincident with the rise and devel-
opment of the machine. The Christian
pulpit Is no longer shackled by a cold
and repellent conservatism, its message
is emboldened by clearer understanding
of the mind Of Christ. There are few
reform movements in which Christian
men and women do not play conspicu-
GUS part. Few questions, II any, call for
more of Christian judgment and more Of
Christian action, than those that con-
Germ right and consistent adjustments in
the broad fields of labor. There are signs
that a more righteous Judgment is being
exercised today than at any time in the

We are beginning to realize that happy
conditions in industry contribute to the
security and the tranquility Of the State
and Nation, but leaders of labor as well
as leaders of great corporate interests
must find better way to secure the high
ends they contend for than they employ
at present. Divisions, bitter disputes,
lost confidence, ungenerous rivalries-
these can only issue in tragic misfortune
and defeated purposes. Right human
relations is primary concern of those
who believe in the teachings of Christ
Reconciliation Of differences, a finer
spirit of fellowship, fuller recogni-
ton of interdependence, these must come
and come speedily, else we shall continue
to be house divided against itself
Christianity has role to play and a
vital one in this situation. Have We the
courage and the will to play it?

the ordinary course Of events 1t
would be discreditable enough to the
parties concerned that their inabil-
ity to negotiate an agreement should
be so complete. In the extraordinary
situation of the moment it is partic-
ularly unfortunate and ill-timed.
The cHmactic hour of the contro-
versy finds the musical Leave 1t to
Me" due to reopen tomorrow night
after a summer layofr. Prominent
in the cast is veteran Sophie Tucker.
Miss Tucker is president of the
American Federation OF Actors, re-
Gently chartered by the International
Association of Theatrical Stage EN-
ployes after it had been expelled by
the Associated Actors and Artistes of
America. The I. A. T. S. E. insists
upon its right to jurisdiction over the
group expelled by the 4-As. The
latter, composed of the major artists
OF the theater, denies that right, and
its members threaten to walk out Of
the show tomorrow night If Miss
Tucker plays.
That move would be countered on
the part OF the I. A. T. S. E. by with
drawing stage crews from other the
atrical productions. Then the war
would be on, extending not merely to
the theater, but to the movies, the
radio, night clubs and all other
forms of commercial entertainment.
The combatant unions both are
members Of the American Federation
OF Labor. 1t would seem that the
union leaders should possess the
wisdom, the tact and the discipline
to avert the threatened strike.
Evening star., 1939-09-03

In one of His notable parallels, Jesus
speaks Of the laborers aad their hire In
it He describes husbandman who, going
into the market place and finding many
standing idle, says to them: why stand
ye here all the day idle? Go ye into
the vineyard, and whatsoever is right,
that shall ye receive" That the Master
had a keep interest in and concern for
the toiler Is most evident in His teach
ings. He dealt with the urgent and
pressing problems of life and was sensi-
tive to any injustice or inequity. He
sought to reconcile elements that were
striving and contentious. He dealt with
the real issues of life.
Labor being essential and indispens-
able, 1t must be dealt with fairly and
eQuitably. To the laborers in Christ's
parable, He said: Whatsoever is right,
that shall ye receive" According to His
standard Of appraisal, the rewards of toll
were to be determined by righteous
judgment. Are we coming closer to this
standard today? Do Christian principles
and Christian ideals play conspicuous
part in determining the just rewards Of
labor?
These questions have grown increas-
ingly pertinent in our time. That Chris
tianity is concerned about such questions
must be evident to any one who has
studied the teachings of Christ. Equity,
fair play consistency in all human rela-
tions, these are essential parts of the
Christian program. Time was when the
Church gave scant evidence of its inter-
est in matters that concerned industrial
and economic questions. The clergy were
frequently admonished that their office
must not concern itself with such prac-
tical questions as wage scales, hours Of
labor or the sanitary condition in which
men and women toiled. The Church
was for worship, and worship was for
soul culture, it had to do with rites and
ceremonies wholly unrelated to worldly
concerns. 1t was Charles Kingsley and
Frederick Dennison Maurice who stirred
the conscience of the English Church

Final Peace Effort

II anything more is needed to con-
vince the world that the British and
the French above all other things
desire peaceful solution of the
PolishGerman issue, the resolute,
last-minute efforts of Prime Minister
Chamberlain and Premier Daladier
to avert the calamity of war should
supply all necessary proof.
Acting on the suggestion of Italy's
Mussolini that another effort be made
to assemble a f1ve-power conference
to negotiate settlement of the dis
pute, the French and British states
men had the courage, the patience
and the humanity to make one final
attempt to persuade the war-mad
German Chancellor to listen to the
voice of reason, insisting only that
Hitler recall his armed forces from
Poland as preliminary to any dis
cussions That it required moral
courage of high order for Chamber
lain and Daladier to pause once
again before fulfilling their pledges
OF military support for invaded Po-
land cannot be questioned. In some
quarters, no doubt, it will be said that
the British and French leaders are
losing heart in the face of danger,
but there is no evidence to support
that conclusion.
II Hitler, as appears probable. re-
fuses to withdraw his troops from
Poland-the condition precedent to
any further discussion of his claims
there is every reason to believe that
France and Britain will come to the
aid of their ally. But the record will
have been kept straight and there
will be not the slightest possibility
OF doubt that Hitler, and Hitler alone,
will have been responsible for plung-
ing a continent, and perhaps the
world, into chaos.
The German Chancellor has been
given every conceivable opportunity
to secure peaceful adjustment of such
grievances as he may have. He has
replied by imposing requirements to
which no self-respecting nation could
submit, and has resorted to war even
before those impossible terms could
receive consideration. If he rejects
this final chance for peace, Hitler
will have completed a record which
has few If any parallels for ruthless
barbarity. History will list him as
wanton aggressor.
And, on the other hand, Chamber
lain and Daladier, if the worst comes,
will draw some comfort from the
knowledge that they have done
everything decent men could do to
save the peace of the world. When
the slaughter of men, women and
children begins they will be absolved
OF the measure of guilt that might
have been theirs had they not ex-
hausted every possibility for peace,
including the final effort of YES
terday.

Marques of Lothian

Ihe Marques of Lothian, in his
nrst two days as British Ambassador
to Washington, has put into sharp
relief his objective in Washington.
namely, to place Great Britain before
the American people not only as
friend but as a defender of the prin-
ciples and ideals for which his coun-
try and this country stand.
Lord Lothian, in his remarks to
President Roosevelt when he pre-
sented his credentials. summarized
his governments policy in the words:
1T is the purpose of the government
have the honor to represent to do
everything in it's power to maintain
peace, to bring about whatever DO
ntlcal and economic adjustments
reason and Justice may require by
pacific means and so help to bring
the nations back to stable prosperity
and stable peace"
Amplifying and reinforcing this
expression was Lord Lothians state
ment to newspapermen Friday
that Britain is united in bulldog"
stand against the forces which would
transform the world into Jungle"
making impossible the peace which
his government seeks, and that Eng
land is deeply concerned with the
availability of American supplies in
the event OF general war.
Thus he has in effect told the
American people that the British
policy is just peace, that the British
people are united to defend that
peace, and that in doing so they re-
quire the support of the United
States.
AS long as Great Britain preserves
the unity of which Lord Lothian
speaks in support of the ideals which
1t shares with the United States this
country cannot be Indifferent to the
final result of any war in which
Britain is defending democratic and
orderly principles.
Britain's defeat in such struggle
would be direct and powerful blow

Congress and with businessmen.
Objection has been raised to spending
money for homes and for improved high
ways and for water power developments
and for other internal improvements
that cost large amounts of money and
upset the Federal Government budget.
Congress refused during the last session
to go along with the President on a pro-
gram of Federal Government investment
in public works. Businessmen and bank
ers opposed the program rather violently.
However, neither Congress nor indus
try nor banking has ever entered objec-
tion to deficit spending for battleships
aad tanks and airplanes and ammuni-
ton.
The moral is plain.
If Mr.. Roosevelt wants now to get
recovery and at the same time to still
the clamor of his opponents, he can find
that road to recovery and that answer
to the problem of domestic quiet by TAX
ing the path that other nations of the
world have taken. That Is the path of
large-scale armament.
Armament provides a lift to the heavy
industry of the Nation-the most de-
pressed part of industry. It runs up into
vast sums of money very quickly-with
battleships at 500, 900 each and arms
in large quantities at high prices. It
provides the big-scale profits that can
enable the Government to increase its
revenue and thereby to narrow the spread
between outgo and income.
Immense expenditures can be made on
a Navy and an Army Of the type now
likely to be required.
Armament at the moment offers the
"out."
