garded as wholly reprehensible. From 1t

here portrayed by Christ in all its Of

worlds present unrest and disorders. It
is the root whence spring class and racial
strife, the jealousies and rivalries that
issue In bitter struggles that impair the
social and economic structures and ulti-
mately in war. The "holier than thou"
attitude is menace to the worlds order
and continuing peace.
We are witnessing a recrudescence Of
this spirit today. 1t 1nvades every de-

everywhere. 1t has rendered us incapa-
Bile OF calm, dispassionate Judgment
Unarrested, this Pharisaical judgment Of
men and things must bring us to con-
dition bordering on chaos. Its judgments
are narrow, insular and partisan. They
reduce US to habits of bigotry and intol-
erance and rob us Of the spirit of charity
In all human relations. They do violence
to every teaching that makes for an
orderly and peaceful world. The spirit
OF the Pharisee has SO permeated the
world that for the while we have ceased
to be brothers, sharing a common inher-
itance. 1t is this insular habit of looking
at life that affects our social, our eco
nomic, even our religious systems.
The second portrait presented by
Christ Of the publican is in striking con-
trast to that of the Pharisee The pub
lican was a social outcast, an "untouch-
able His humility, his recognition Of
his unfltness. commended him to the
Master, and of him He said: This man
went down to his house justified" The
publican was nearer to the ideal of cath
olicity; he exemplified more fully the
spirit OF comradeship which is common
to men Of humble mind.

some Of its financing provisions.
Grounded in some three years Of
accumulated experience as to how
these provisions were working out,
this criticism has been uniformly
constructive and recognized as such
by administration proponents OF the
program.
Against this cooperative back
ground and in the common desire to
improve the statute rather than
destroy it, representatives of all
shades of thought joined in assisting
Congress in the task. As the first
concrete result, the Ways and Means
Committee now has in readiness a
bill OF amendments including such
generally desirable notifications as
a postponement of the scheduled tax
increase for old-age insurance, an
advance Of two years in the payment
OF pensions to the aged, certain other
benefit liberalizations and the crea-
ton Of a board Of trustees to main
tain supervision over an old-age
reserve fund no longer intended to
reach the fabulous total originally
planned.
Both House and Senate should act
as expeditiously as is reasonable on
the forthcoming recommendation of
the Ways and Means Committee;
their enactment will belong on the
credit side Of the record of the first
session of the Seventy-sixth Congress.

To interpret life, its meaning and pur-
pose, has engaged the minds Of the pro-
foundest thinkers and philosophers since
the beginning of known history. In more
recent times Sir John Lubbock in his
''The Use Of Life" DIR. Cabot Of Boston
in What Men Live BY" Able Dimnet
in "What We Live BY" and Arnold Ben
nett in "Twenty-four Hours Day" have
endeavored to give some adequate inter-
probation to life. They all present inter-
esting and suggestive ideas and ideals.
We can take our choice and determine
for ourselves what to appropriate from
their counsel
Take the immediate and burning ques-
ton that is to the fore today that con-
Germs right human relations. While much
has been said, we find conflict Of opin-
ions. This question possibly is the most
urgent because it involves course that
has to do with class racial and interna-
tional relations. Upon . just and rea-
sonable answer to it is involved the peace
of the world. It occupies conspicuous
place in the councils of nations. Ger
tainly not in our time has 1t been so
much to the fore as 1t is today. We may
think of 1t as a question that concerns
largely the nations Of the Old World,
but 1t is finding us giving 1t serious con-
sideration here in America.
There is passage in the New Testa-
ment that deals with 1t. It is presented
by Christ in the form Of . parable or
story-namely. that which is contained in
His parable of the Pharisee and the pub
lican. 1t is story in which two men are
portrayed as engaged In an act of wor-
ship. 1t begins with these words: HE
spake this parable unto certain which
trusted in themselves that they were
righteous and despised others" AS the
story proceeds the Master speaks first of
the Pharisee, whom He describes as pray
ing thus: God, thank thee that am
not as other men are" Arrogance, an
exaggerated sense of superiority, of ex-
clusiveness, marked his devotion. 1t
was an exhibition that the Master re-

The Public Interest

President Roosevelt's message to
the deadlocked soft coal negotiators
focuses attention on a truism that
seems to have been ignored in the
walkout of the bituminous miners
namely, that "the public interest is
paramount and above that of any
group"
In his telegram, which was read
to the representatives of the miners
and the operators, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
Trained, quite properly, from blaming
either side for the failure to come to
an agreement, but with equal pro-
priety he used strong language in
serving notice on the negotiators that
the welfare Of the American people.
as we'll as their own interest, is at
stake, and in implying that more
drastic governmental action will be
taken unless they come to a speedy
agreement.
Whether the Presidents admonition
will be needed remains to be seen. If
anything, Mr.. Roosevelt was guilty
of understatement when he said the
differences between the two groups
appear not to be inSurmountable. In
this controversy the usual dispute
over wages, hours or working condi-
tions is conspicuous by its absence.
The sole obstacle to agreement is the
insistence by John L. Lewis on Sc
curing a closed shop for the United
Mine Workers or, as an alternative,
the abolition of long standing penalty
clauses under which miners can be
fined for striking during the life Of
a contract. On this point, the opera
tors have offered substantial COM
promises, but Mr.. Lewis has rejected
them, refusing, so far as is known,
to recede in any degree from his
original position.
There can be little doubt that his
demand for the closed shop or aboli-
ton of the penalty clauses arises
primarily from desire to protect the
United Mine Workers against efforts
of a rival American Federation of
Labor union to organize the coal
miners. 1t is not difficult to under
stand the attitude of Mr.. Lewis in
that connection, but his ambition to
crush a competing union falls far
short of justifying his action in call
ing nearly half a million miners from
their jobs, thereby menacing the
welfare Of the whole country.

The Bosic Problem

Speaking at the Oxford Group
luncheon at the National Press Club
on Friday, DR.. Sven Stolpe Of Sweden
said: II have discovered that can
not be dictator in my own home
and an anarchist In my social rela-
tions and continue to call myself a
democrat" The meeting would have
been a noteworthy success if it had
brought forth no other affirmation.
What the visitor put into words for
himself has been the growing, if un-
expressed, conviction of many men.
The turmoil of the world traces back
to the difference between the aspira-
ton of the race and its conduct
Few individuals, it would seem,
deliberately prefer to be greedy, in
tolerant, unkind. The difficulty was
described by Rousseau as a conflict
between "the voice of the soul" and
"the voice of the body" conscience
and the passions. Men and women,
classes and nations drift or blunder
into habits which offend themselves
as we'll as their neighbors. They
understand that Emerson announced
only the simple truth when he de-
clared Nothing can bring you
peace but yourself. Nothing can
bring you peace but the triumph of
principles" But the basic prob
lem-the problem of how to develop
a practical ethical code adequate to
human need-remains as yet un-
solved.
All the great religions teach hon
esty and purity, unselfishness and
fellowship. The Golden Rule, in one
form or another, is a universal law
of life which nobody denies, nobody
questions. If there be any novelty
about the oxford Group campaign, it
is that of striving to put the axiom to
work in common practice. The ap-
peal is directed to the individual He
is asked to submit himself to a proc
ess of change in which sacrifice of
his tixations, his prejudices, his lin
itations of mind and heart is in
volved. The loss is inconsequential,
the gain impossible to exaggerate
But surrender to God is not easy.
The struggle which produces a St.
Francis or Father Damian, John
Bunyan or a Pasteur or a Grenfell is
akin to the ordeal of the dark garden
at Gethsemane.
For the sensitive, willing, earnest
spirit, however, the challenge is too
compelling to be avoided; and, even
If the ultimate goal of Identification
with divinity is unattained, the en-
deavor is worth while. 1t is because
large numbers Of plain and humble
people try to deserve Heaven on
earth that civilization survives and
hope persists for a future happier
than past or present.

Ideal Gifts

Most people, in the matter of Sc
lecting gifts, 60 about the problem in
the wrong way. 1t is standard prac-
tice to try to figure out what the
recipient wants, and to carry on
from that point. Far more lasting
benefits will be conferred, however,
If he gets what he really needs, and
not just what he thinks he would
like to have. The truly thoughtful
donor would do well to study the
character of the donee, and then
drop in at the Georgetown Univer-
sity Medical Schools Gyfte Shoppe,
which carries complete line of
twenty-seven hundred different mod
els of germs and bacteria for sale. So
far their business has been confined
to doctors and hospitals, due to a
technicality in the law, but when
that is eliminated, they hope to go
places in big way. Due to quantity
production, their prices are remark
ably low, the cost of several million
measle germs being only few cents.
When the time comes for their
doors to be thrown open to the gift
buying public, they would do well to
maintain staff to give advice on
special problems The prospective
customer afflicted with brother-in-
law who mooches all his cigarettes
could be sold mumps, which kills all
sense of taste while it lasts. More
vigorous treatment would be required
for the friend who once put over a
four-horse parlay at Pimlico way
back in 1922, and who seizes every
occasion to 60 into the details of the
running Of each race, for hours at a
time. What he needs is lockjaw.
There is also an excellent gift for the
female visitor who takes an informal
but unbreakable lease on the bath
room. The university's guaranteed
triple-strength hydrophobia bacillus
may be trusted to take her under its
wing and send her fleeing away from
the bathroom like mad, and give
some one else a chance at it. Many
other appropriate gifts will be avail
able. Do your Christmas shopping
early.

Another Munich?

Peace this Sabbath happily seems
more probable than 1t did at the
beginning Of the month, but, from
Polands standpoint, and, indeed,
from that of all Europe, the question
Is, what kind of peace? Europe
during the past year has become
familiar with only one kind, the
brand stamped Made in Germany"
and, more latterly, MADE in Italy"
It is the peace" that sealed the doom
Of Czecho-Slovakia and Of Albania.
Despite Colonel Beck's dignified
reply to Hitler on Danzig and the
Corridor, there is a multiplicity of
circumstantial evidence that Beck
may presently be faced with the
necessity Of taking a more deter
mined stand in defense of the in
tegrity of Poland. The Germans are
openly irritated by the Poles firm
attitude. The Berlin foreign office
mouthpiece, Deutsche Diplomatisch-
Politische Korrespondenz, categor-
ically warns Warsaw that the Reich
finds Poland's entry into the British
'encirclement 'front.' intolerable.
Even more significantly trucu-
lent is the D. DIP. KS reminder
that the Anglo-P Polish pact parallels
the Czech-Franco-Russian system"
the existence of which was one of
the Nazis' avowed reasons for de-
manding regulation" of the "Czecho-
Slovak problem"
AS a further straw showing that
the wind may be blowing in the
direction of another Munich, Hitler's
Reichstag address specifically ac-
cused Poland, "like Czecho- -Slovakia
a year ago." of yielding to "the
pressure of an international lies
campaign" as justification for
calling up troops. The Czech mo
bilization menace, was one of Hit
ler's favorite alibis. And now Ger
many is beginning to peddle tales of
atrocities against members of Ger
man minority groups in Poland, just
as she charged maltreat atment of the
Sudeten Nazis.
At Munich, it will be remembered,
Mussolini played the part of medi-
ator and the savior of peace. At one
time, when President Roosevelt was
prouder than he was later of his
appeal to Hitler to make peaceable
terms with Czecho-Slovakia, there
was even some rivalry between Wash
ington and Rome as to who did kill
the cock robin Of war. II Duce was

Victory Through Vetoes

Governor O'Conor of Maryland
deserves the thanks of the law
abiding element of Prince Georges,
Charles and Anne Arundel Counties
for his vetoes of slot and pinball
machine bills.
Three conclusions can be drawn
from the Governors action:
That he feels bound to adhere
strictly to the platform on which he
was elected and which specifically
opposed resort to pinball machines
as a means of raising revenue"
That he is capable of following a
course directly opposite to that
recommended by county political
leaders.
That he is sensitive to moral values
affecting the public welfare.
The Prince Georges bill which Mr..
O'Conor vetoed would have legalized
slot machines in the county. 1t bore
the Endorsement of a majority of the
county commissioners, who claimed
the expected revenue was sorely
needed for roads. (
Charles County intended to use
pinball machine license fees for the
new La Plata hospital and Anne
Arundel proposed to earmark such
funds for general relief. To Governor
O'Conor, however, such plans were
only "a left-handed method of legal
izing the machines,"- which, in his
opinion, would have been a breach
of faith with the voters who elected
him.
The fact that he vetoed such legis
lation strengthens the belief that he
will veto a pending pinball machine
bill for Montgomery County and sign
anti-numbers bills for Montgomery
and Prince Georges. Any other
action would be inconsistent.
The Governors display of inde-
pendence Of local political pressure
might even justify the hope that he
may some day use the State police
force to clean up certain counties,
including Prince Georges, where law
enforcement, especially in regard to
gambling, has been practically non
existent.
