The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

To steal is to take that which be-
longs to another and when we say
''Thou shalt not steal" we recognize
two things, first, that there is a right
of ownership, and second, that it is
wrong to violate this ownership
There is right of ownership, yes,
but the commandment says nothing
about how far this ownership goes
or how justified it might be in each
individual case. Possession is nine
points of the law" says the old adage,
but actual possession may be legally
wrong and it can certainly be morally
Objectionable even though it is legally
right. We must therefore be care
full not to use the commandment as
a blanket endorsement of all actual
possession for then it becomes the
tool of injustice. The commandment
is a true and necessary statement
of a basic principle, but it should
not be used as the defender of pre-
vailing political or social opinions
about ownership. Ownership needs
a deeper justification than mere &C
tuality or legality, for laws can be
changed and are being changed to
remedy wrong conditions For
Christian ownership should be evalu-
ated not primarily in the light of
individual right nor even in the light
of legal justice. 1t should be consid-
cred in the light of neighborly love
and brotherhood. Privileges of ac-
tual ownership and exploitation may
therefore not only be legally wrong,
they may even be a violation of the
commandment. Possession and use,
even though it is legal, may be theft
when it exists at the expense of 9TH
ers or when it causes or permits the
Sufferings of others. Fundamentally,
all material things are gift from
God and when they are not used &C
cording to His purpose and in His
spirit, possession can be a violation
of the commandment. Us it neces-
sary to add that this argument does
not, however, justify forcible or illegal
taking from those who have? 1t is
an encouragement for better use
or voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of priv
ileges and for a legal statement of
ownership that conforms as nearly
as possible with fundamental Chris
tan principles).
We can own other things than prop
erty. We can own happiness and
peace and honor and freedom and
many other things. Needless to say
that the commandment also con-
Germs such values. "Thou shalt not
steal" that which is the rightful
privilege of your neighbor but help
him in his possession and enjoyment
even though it may mean sacrifice
of what you have.

committees almost daily, and one gen.
eral orders are pages long, but with
this new voting system we should
grind them out, one way or another,
fairly swiftly when we dispose of this
civil service.
The Liquor Control committee has
passed out several bills seeking to
tighten up and make uniform liquor
laws and there are bills still in COM
mittee to legalize slot machines and
other gambling devices to pay old
age assistance or relief, but l under
stand from my lawyer colleagues
that our Constitution is such that we
could not do this, even if it could
be passed.
We have several bills affecting the
mining industry, some of them along
the lines of the Governors budget
message, to increase the occupational
and royalty taxes, and another to
decrease the per capita limitations
of the range communities. The rep
resentatives from the range do not
oppose increasing the state taxes, but
bitterly oppose changing the limita-
tons as it would greatly reduce the
amount of money they now have for
their schools, townships and villages.
From observation it looks like the
increase in occupational and royalty
taxes will pass, at least.
The retention of the one-cent in
crease in the gas tax is still in COM
mittee, as are most of the other major
tax bills, appropriations, etc. With a
little over half of the session gone,
there is still much work to do. 1t is
hard for me to find time to answer all
letters l receive, but am glad to get
your views on anything you may be
interested in.

600, item for Guam) would come
to a vote on Thursday so it was
necessary for me to cut my visit
short, which was a disappointment
because it had been my hope that
it would not be necessary to return
to Washington until Monday.
When 1 left st. Paul it was II be-
low zero and on my arrival in Wash
ington Thursday morning the ther-
mometer registered Is. Some of my
readers may not believe me when I
say that it felt colder down here
than it did in st. Paul, but it is
fact. This is due to the greater
amount of humidity that always pre-
walls along the Eastern seabord.
Guam Item Eliminated.
The majority was prompted to re-
ject the Guam item because it would
push our western defense line into
the Asiatic sphere, which might at
some future date lead to complica-
tons, and possibly war. Under the
action taken by the House the Paci-
fic defense line will extend from the
Aleutian Islands southwest to Hawaii;
thence southeast to the Panama Canal
and from there northeast to the Vir-
gin Islands and northward possibly to
a point beyond Labrador.
We can defend such a line with
our present naval strength. To have
extended the line to Guam, thence to
tho co,,foorpp,ocf poipf Of Co,,fb
America, thence north to the Virgin
Islands would necessitate navy as
large as the combined navies of any
two naval powers. Obviously, such
an ambitious program would neces-
state an outlay that would prove
burdensome even to rich country
like ours.
Congress is not in the proper mental
attitude to legislate on the question
of defense at the present time because
it is dominated by the same war
hysteria that was so marked back in
1867. There is no immediate nee
essity for considering national ex-
pansion of national defense. Japan
has her hands full in China and will
have for Is years. The best informa-
ton obtainable from Germany and
Italy is that if the dictators should
embark upon war the people would
revolt, so it will readily be seen that
there is no need for haste.
The Same Old Gag.
The foreign minister of Brazil is in
Washington for the purpose of making
touch" He only wants $50,000,000
with which to develop his country,
and he intimates that if the money
is not forthcoming they will get it

Legislative News
BY c. G.. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

Not much to write about as far as
the sessions of the House proper are
concerned because the Civil Service
act has been the only piece of leg
islation under consideration for the
past 10 days or more, and as I write
this, is still under discussion. How
ever, the many amendments offered
should be disposed of this week and
the bill come up for passage. Then
it will go to the Senate, the Senate
will amend it further, and then it
will 60 into conference committee
for the ironing out of differences.
Personally, I feel that the original
draft of the measure has been i'm
proved by various amendments, and
will probably be improved further
before passage.
The only major amendment adopted
so far was to exempt the Highway
Patrol from the provisions of the bill
This was a bitter fight, the authors
of the bill claiming that all state
employees should be treated the same.
But it was our belief (and I say
our because l took part in the fight
to exempt them) that the Highway
Patrol had operated efficiently and
well under the former laws, without
political domination, and that they
should not come under this act for
at least another two years.
Another amendment for which we
put up fight was the veterans pre-
ference, but on this we were defeated
in that the absolute veterans prefer
ence was not adopted, but the bill
does allow credit of 10 points, added
to the passing grade, of any veteran,
which should put him up near the
top and thus be eligible for appoint
ment as one of the three top appli-
cants who are to be certified for the
job.
However, if we pass a good civil
service bill, to some extent take state
service out of the political spoils sys-
tenn, it will be worth the time spent,
and probably save the taxpayers many
thousands of dollars now spent for
sign inspectors, bituminous inspectors
and what have you.
Bills are being passed out of all

ing committed some heinous crime.
l ask in all sincerity, are we in posi-
ton to criticize the treatment &C
corded minorities in other countries?
In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ
said, Cast out the beam out of thine
own eye; and then thou shall see
clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brothers eye" How well it would
be for all mankind if that precept
were to be followed in all dealings
between nations and individuals.

from the totalitarian governments of
Europe. Of all expositions of gall,
this easily takes first place. We are
Brazil's best customer, buying from
her each year something like 60,00O,-
900 worth of coffee, and large guam
titles of crude rubber. In return,
Brazil buys only about $12,000,000
worth of American products, so the
balance of trade is heavily in her
favor. Brazil has defaulted on loans
already made by Americans and there
is no reason to believe that she would
be willing to repay any part of monies
that might be advanced her in the
future.
This administration is altogether
too easy in it's dealings with default
ing countries. Mexico has been per-
mitted to appropriate hundreds of
millions of dollars of American in
vestments in that country When
Secretary Hull negotiated the trade
agreement with Brazil he agreed to
freeze" coffee on the free list and
1 could enumerate other instances of
American stupid generosity in deal
ing with foreign countries.
If Brazil is not satisfied with the
present arrangement, which runs 8
or 10 to l in her favor, we should
abrogate the Americana zili a n
trade agreement and arrange to buy
our coffee from countries that are
willing to buy more from us. We are
the good neighbor." How the Latins
must laugh up their sleeve when they
think of how easy Uncle Sam is to
do business with.
Wise Counsel.
One day last week William R.
Castle, former Undersecretary of
State, demanded that officials in
Washington cease spending so much
time talking about the wicked dicta-
tors and the dangers of war" In
addressing an American Legion audi
ence in Boston he expressed the opin-
ion that there would be no war and
called for a policy of "non-interfer-
ence in the affairs of Others" policy
he called one of the great achieve
ments of George Washington, "the
real inventor of the good neighbor
policy"
Said he: ut is not up to us to GO
out in shining armor to protect all
sorts of people who don't belong here,
who have no claim on us, except the
claim on our sympathy which is due
to all who suffer unjustly" 1 agree
with Mr.. Castle 100 percent and what
he said in Boston 1 have said 100
times. We deeply deplore the treat
ment several countries are giving
their minorities, but are we so stu
ated that we can openly criticize
them? In this country we have In
dian and Negro minorities. For hun
dreds of years we plundered and
killed thousands upon thousands of
Indians. Then we sent slave ships
to Africa and brought back cargoes
of black human beings in chains.
Here they were put on the auction
block and sold to the highest bidder
A regular traffic developed in the
slave trade and there are innumer-
able instances where slave families
were broken up and sold to different
buyers. Since their liberation we
have constantly prosecuted them on
account of their color. In many
states their children cannot attend
the same schools with whites and
railway trains carried Jim Grow"
cars for them to travel in. 1t all too
frequently happens that one of their
race is burned at the stake for hav-
