day, that receipt Of additional in
formation revives his confidence that
responsible leaders can be induced to
overcome obstacles to international
understanding. 1t was intimated at
the time that papal ENJOYS conveyed
to statesmen of Germany, Italy,
France, Great Britain and Poland
the supreme pontiff's anxiety lest
critical controversies then pending
should eventuate in war. The immi-
nence of conflict between Germany
and Poland particularly disturbed
Plus XII.
Our step" the Pope told the Sa-
cred College, met in general with
the sympathy of the governments
approached, we are glad to say. AS
result of it, we obtained pledges
so much desired by the people. In
consequence of this encouragement
and other information rejecting the
sentiments and intentions of influ-
ential statesmen, the way is left open
to us for further manifestations of
our earnest solicitude."
At the moment there is, on the
surface at least, much evidence of
a more peaceful spirit in Europe.
Hitler has not moved to impose his
"once for all' demands on Poland.
Mussolini, resting on his Albanian
laurels, has done nothing overt to
indicate any purpose in the visible
future to press for adjustment of
Italy's claims on France in Tunisia,
at Djibuti or in connection with the
Suez Canal. German and Italian
legionnaires have been withdrawn
from Spain, at least in large part,
without any signs as yet that Cen
eral Frances late allies insist upon
their pound of flesh from the Ma
tionalist regime.
This generally rosy situation may
be mirage. On the day Pope Plus
registered optimism over it Rome
heard of anxiety in London and
Paris over Greek accusations that
Italy has been massing troops and
war material on Greece's Albanian
frontier. But the month marking
the tWenty-ffth anniversary of
events which incubated the World
War at least begins with nothing
instantly ominous on the long
beclouded European horizon.

False Pretenses

Strong suspicion is aroused by dis
patches from Havana that the nine
hundred and seventeen Jewish refu-
gees on board the Hamburg-Amerika
liner st. Louis are the victims of one
OF the cruelest confidence games of
recent times Armed with "visas"
issued by Cuban consuls in various
cities of Germany, these hopeless
yet hopeful souls embarked on
journey which they had every reason
to believe would lead them to new
freedom.
The blame for their being turned
back cannot be laid at Cuba's door.
The "visas" were merely provisional
permits to land in Cuba en- route to
the United States. The holders had
been led to believe they would be
entitled to remain there until they
could obtain legal admission to this
country under the German quota.
This view was supported by the
presence in Havana of thousands of
their compatriots, more than four
thousand having landed there in the
past six months. But Cuba has it's
own immigration laws, and cannot
admit unlimited numbers. A great
many of the refugees already there
have overstayed their time limit and
are facing deportation. Many have
gone on to Mexico, and some of these
recently have been ordered to return
The United States, likewise, is in
capable of supplying a solution.
With the present quota filled, and
with applications on file sufficient to
keep it that way for many months,
there is no hope for refuge here.
Every effort has been made to induce
the German government to prevent
refugees from leaving unless definite
destinations had been provided. Yet
the st. Louis sailed with a full pas
senger list.
The blame appears to rest on the
operators of the vessel. According to
reports here, they knew the nature
of the permits and had been notified
five days before sailing that these
had been Cancelled. The consuls who
issued the permits cannot be held
responsible. Operating in scattered
cities throughout the Reich, they
issued the permits obviously without
the knowledge that an entire ship
load was involved. But the shipping
line knew.
It is most. unfortunate that such
large group of individuals in such
dire need should be the victims of
such hoax. Today these children
of a martyr race" are out on the
Atlantic with a darkening storm of
fear and uncertainty surrounding
them. They still have faint hope
of possible refuge in Santo Domingo,
but they do not know what the
future holds, If there be a future.
They only know they are at sea once
more because there was no room
for them at the inn."

Religious Dynamic

When the tragedy of the World
War began in 1914 it was common
judgment of the moment that reli-
gion had failed. But those who gave
expression to that opinion were mis-
taken. Logically, they might have
argued that every aspect of civiliza-
ton had been weighed in a balance
and found wanting. If the church
had been unequal to its task, so too
had philosophy, science, art, letters,
all the constructive forces of civil
ization. Even the international labor
movement collapsed in the emer-
gency. Men who had sworn never to
participate in armed conflict rushed
to the colors. Humanity, in brief,
went mad. Roman ROLAND In one
OF his most impressive books tells
how, vainly, he strove to rise above
the battle Voluntary exile did not
solve the problem. The shadow of
the strife pursued him, caught and
overcame him. He realized in the
end that nothing is safe from de-
struction in an hour of mass contest.
But the fault is not Gods. Nor is
it reasonable to hold the peoples of
the nations responsible A mob may
be stirred to rebellion, yet no COM
munity unprovoked ever has de-
manded the catastrophe of war in
its modern implications of wholesale
destruction. The average individual
is devoted to peace Similarly, few
persons deliberately choose to be out
laws from civilized society. A casual
glance at the daily chronicle of
events may suggest that the earth is
merely jungle in which creatures
not vastly different from the mon
sters OF DR.. Moreau, imagined by
H, G. Wells, prowl constantly in
search of human prey. But not
many ordinary citizens have wit
messed crime on the rampage nor
greed unchecked nor hate altogether
uncontrolled. Order generally pre-
walls even in so-called savage centers
of habitation.
And religion is deserving of credit
for It's share in the achievement of
an approximation of brotherhood
and tolerance, charity and love.
Subtract its influence from the an
nails Of the past and little would be
left The church has sheltered edu-
cation, social service of every helpful
kind, justice in application to issues
susceptible of rational adjustment,
unselfishness between soul and soul.
Its failures have been of piece with
those of secular institutions; its vic
tories are it's own.
Tonight in Washington the friends
OF Moral Re-Armament will meet to
demonstrate new spiritual aspira-
ton. The need is great, the occasion
compelling. It will be the earnest
prayer of multitude that the search
for religious dynamic to implement
a better, a happier and more pacific
world may not be a vain effort.

YOUTH
By the Right Req. James E. Freeman D. D., ILL., D., D. c. L.
Bishop of WASHINGTON.

The month Of June marks the great
transition in the lives of thousands of
our youth. 1t is graduation period, the
long anticipated time when years of
study and preparation for life has its
happy consummation. A pertinent and
searching inquiry is: What will youth
do with its sharpened wits and stored-up
knowledge?" Theory must be made to
conform to practice, the school and the
world of action must be brought to-
gether.
How many of these eager young men
and women find it difficult to reconcile
training with its practical application to
the workaday life. How many today as
they face the larger world of action are
confused and uncertain as to where their
education is to find its wider exercise?
Nothing that has come out of the long
depression has been more tragic than the
disillusionment and Illustration of youth.
Those Of seasoned, mature life can take
1t, youth cannot. Sometimes we are
compelled to wonder whether educational
systems have attained that degree of
pCl1CIeAoll tlldb tllcy TURN OUT annually
the kind of trained minds fitted to meet
the conditions of our modern world
There is still wide gap between the
classroom and the workroom. Doubtless
apart from its primary purpose, that of
training the mind, the disciplines of
school and college serve useful purpose
They would prove far more valuable and
useful if they gave more heed to moral
values. We have to live together in
happy, harmonious relations, hence
something other than the three RS" is
necessary. Right human relations are
not conditioned by what we possess of
stored-up knowledge AS a matter of
fact, too much learning often issues in
habits of detachment The intellectual
recluse is an unappealing phenomenon.
What we are most desirous of witness
ing at this time, especially as 1t concerns
our young graduates, is happier, more
hopeful and optimistic outlook We
would not have youth face conditions
now prevalent in certain Old World ma
tions, where his usefulness to the state
is determined by his fitness to bear arms.
We want to think of him as a potential
contributor to the common veal, factor

profits tax, eliminate the ban on the
filing Of consolidated corporate re-
turns and eliminate double taxa
tion by exempting all inter-corporate
dividends from tax and excluding
corporate dividends to individuals
from the normal tax. These reforms
are desirable and should be adopted,
but II Congress does this and nothing
else there is no assurance that the
final result will not be a drop in the
total revenues of the Government.
Most students of the tax question
are agreed that the volume of Gov-
ernment revenues must be main
tanned, especially under conditions
like those prevailing today. The
spokeSmen for the Chamber and the
Association, however, had little to
offer on this point beyond an express
sion of their hope and belief that the
requested revisions of the tax laws
would result in a greater volume of
business activity which in turn would
tend to offset revenue losses following
the abolition of specific taxes. It
has been contended in many quarters
that the elimination of unwise taxes
would lead directly to a substantial
business recovery, but until that re-
suit is assured the wiser course would
be to provide other and sounder taxes
so that the Government will not have
to 90 still deeper into debt should the
anticipated recovery in the business
world be delayed.
With the tax burden on the poor
already heavy and the soak the
rich" philosophy now thoroughly dis
credited, there are left to Congress
two principal sources of new revenue.
The first contemplates higher
income tax yield in the middle brack-
cts, to be accomplished by lowering
exemptions and increasing the rates.
The arguments in support of follow
ing such course are we'll known,
but Congress, apparently unwilling
to incur the risk of arousing the mid
die classes, has not as yet shown any
desire to tap this source of revenue.
The second possibility involves the
elimination of tax exempt securities
in the future. This reform, advocated
by Republican and Democratic lead
ers alike for the past twenty years,
will become imperative if the Federal
surtax rates on large incomes
are reduced to encourage venture
capital"
1t is not difficult to understand the
reluctance OF Congress to enact new
taxes, particularly with a national
election only little more than yeav
away, but it is important that the
fiscal position of the Government
already bad-be not further impaired
in the essential process of overhaul
Ing the corporate tax structure at
this session of Congress.
In that connection, it should be
noted that the effort of some Repub-
lican members of the Ways and
Means Committee to insist at this
time on general tax revision in lieu
OF reform in corporate levies alone is
very likely to result in preventing the
adoption of any tax correctives at
this session. 1t is to be hoped that the
majority of the committee will vote
to conflne its present study to the
corporate problem and leave the
other questions for future consid-
Grafton.

Least successful of the Government
banking operations from an earnings
outpoint is that involved in making
loans -on farm commodities as a price
stabilizing plan. The Government has
more than half billion dollars tied up
in cotton at price above the market
and, if forced to liquidate, can take big
loss.
Farmers have habit of getting spe-
cial banking favors from the Govern
ment.
They are getting an annual interest
subsidy on $2,O00,OOOOOO of mortgage
loans made to them through the Federal
Land Banks. They have been extended
new crop loans year after year, al
though old loans are in default.
Yet, over all. the record appears to
show that the Federal Government can
do big-scale investment banking busi-
ness in relatively efficient and success
full manner.
The National Economic Committee
now intends to study the idea of seek
ing recovery by pushing the Federal
Government much farther into the field
of investment banking-a field that is
not filled by the commercial banking
machinery of the country.
Through a new Government directed
investment banking system, idle dollars
might be syphoned into use for a wide
variety of purposes, ranging from rail-
road rehabilitation and public works to
capital loans to businessmen who want
to expand operations. Recovery could
lie In this operation, but along with that
recovery would 60 many other problems
that rise in period Of expanded or In
