Hull DenOunces Italian Aggression;
F.D.R Says DictatOrs Menace Us
HUGO SsMs Special Washington CORRESPONDENT of The Gil

Italy's attack on Albania was
promptly denounced by Secretary
of State .Cordell Hull, as ''forci-
BILE and violent invasion" and
called IAN additional threat to
the peace of the world. He add
ed that "any threat to peace seri-
ously concerns all nations" and
that such incidents destroy conf
dence and undermine economic
stability in every country, thus
affecting our own welfare.
The President makes no effort
to conceal his disapproval of the
tactics followed by Germany or
Italy, or of his belief that the
United States should align itself
On the side of the democracies in
an effort to prevent war. He gave
mis- hearty approval last week to
} newspaper editorial, calling for
a @preponderant show of force"
by the democratic nations. In his
message to Congress on the state
of the Union, the Chief Executive
plainly pointed out that, in his
opinion, the United States could
not be unconcerned when other
nations attacked the fundament-
ais upon which our Government
and civilization depend.
Recently, through the use of a
White House spokesman, an au-
thentic statement of Administra-
ton policy in the present crisis
was given to the press. This is
that ''the continued political, eco
nomic and social independence of
every small nation in the world
does have an effect on our ma
tional safety and prosperity. Each
one that disappears weakenS our
national safety and prosperity.

concerned over iwhat appears to

be a NaZi-FasciSt dream of world
domination by military force is
undiSputed. He stands solidly be-
hind Great Britain and France in
the Stop Hitler" movement, but,
at no time, has there been any
suggestion that this country
might throw its military support
to the European democracies.
1t is pointed out that one of
the results of successful military
aggression is control of COM
merce, not only in the territory
of the agressors but in other in
depedent nations, under threat OF
military power. Thus, if military
domination continues to expand
its influence will inevitably be
felt all over the world and the
aggressor nations will expand
their barter system of trade.
This will threaten the economic
security of nations which give
their workers better wages and
shorter hours and, as applied to
lie United States, force a choice
between threee courses:
Cd Adoption of Chinese
Wall" policy, calling for with
drawal from foreign trade, with
emphasis ,on economic self-suffi-
cheney and a terrific drop in ma
tional income.
c. The use of export subsi-
dies as a national policy at ire
,mendous cost to taxpayers who
would virtually be taxed in or
der that foreign nations can buy
American products cheaper than
Americans themselves.
-(3) A general lowering of liv-
ing standards, with longer hours
of work and reduced wages, so
that American exporters can
compete in the world market
with 'low-wage foreign producers.

The events of the first Holy Week, as seen through the eyes of a modern radio announcer, will be presented for the second time over NEG networks, in a series of five dramatizations entitled "The Living God" The dramatizations, enacted by a Hollywood cast, will begin Tuesday, April 4, and continue through Saturday, April 8.
 The programs, broadcast by the National Council of Catholic Men in cooperation with the National Broadcasting Company, will be heard daily from 500 to 6:15 p. n., EST, over the NBC-Red Network.
 The dramatizations will present rowing announcer, interviewing passersby on the streets of New York. The announcer asks Who is Christ?," and suddenly he is trans ported, in time and space, to Jeru- salem, where he witnesses the Lords entry into that city. With his port able microphone he catches the voice, speaking the words recorded of Him in the Gospels. In following episodes, the announcer gives an eyewitness account of the Last Supper, the Betrayal, the Trial, the Thorns, the Crucifixion, the events attendant upon the Resurrection, and the Appearance on the Road to Emmaus. He also is able to pick up the voices of the Apostles, Mary Magdalene, Pontius Pilate, the Two Thieves, and all the other impor- tant participants in the great drama.
 Having witnessed all the events of the first Holy Week the annuoncer is whirled back to a humble church he hears the priest pronouncing the in 20th century New York, where words of Conservation and realizes the identity between the scene be- fore him and the one he observed at the Last Supper.
 The schedule has been arranged so that the Crucifixion scene will be heard on Good Friday and that of the Resurrection on Holy Satur- day, April 8.

 The Golden Text is from Proverbs 3O:8: Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food con- venient for me-" N
 Readings from the Bible include the following: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? :. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock :.

 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: "When we wait patiently on God and seek Truth righteously, He directs our path, Imperfect mor- tals grasp the ultimate of spiritual perfection slowly; but to begin aright and to continue the strife of demonstrating the great problem of being, is doing much This task God demands us to accept loving ly today, and to abandon so fast as practical the material, and to work out the spiritual which determines the outward and actual'' (page 254: 10-15, 2O-23).

 Committee Report

Charles w. Palomba of Waterbury will head large delegation to the state capitol on Wednesday for q hearing before the committee on banks on a bill allowing savings banks of the state to sell life in- slrance. MT. Palomba is executive secretary of the Connecticut Sav- ings Bank Life Insurance League.

According to its sponsors this sort of insurance companies is now 30 years old in Massachusetts and is also operative in New York by a law passed year ago. The claim is made that the cost of insurance is, reduced in small amounts and that it releases for local expendi- ture large sums now used to pay weekly premium insurance.

e. Is it true that Protestant liberals" are retreating from their doctrinal positions and becoming more conservative?
 A. A comprehensive answer to this question cannot be given in 8 paragraph. It may at least be said that the incipient tendencies to- ward contemporary humanism once observed have ceased. In gen. eral the tendancy toward roman tic optimism in some liberal cir cles as to the spiritual capacity of man has been chastened by the evidence in our day of the power and conquests of evil and this has led to a centering of interest in theology upon the sinfulness of man and the necessity of divine grace. Another school. as deeply aware of the centrality of God, at the same time gives prominent place to the freedom and c0mpet- ence of human nature.

 DAY OF FASTING
Connecticut Citizens Are Urged to Observe Good
 Friday, April 7

Urging the citizens of Connecti- cut to observe Good Friday, April 2, as a day of fasting and prayer, Governor Baldwin today issued the following proclamation:
 "The calendar of the church fix es Friday, April 2, enxt, as the an- niversary of the agony and death upon the cross of our Lord and Sav- for, Jesus Christ, who made there by sacrifice, oblation and satisfac- ton for the sins of the world. In accordance with custom and stat ute, I appoint that day as a day of fasting and prayer.
 T urge the people of the state to observe that day in their homes and places of worship and, in lowly pen- itence, to examine their lives in the light of the life and teaching of the lowly Nazarene, who, without the power of arms or riches, rescued the world from utter darkness and still offers to our troubled spirits, through faith, "The Way, the Truth and the Life."

 0. What is the significance of the Passover?
 4. The Passover, or the Feast of the Un1eavened Bread, is the Jewish Spring holiday. It will open this year with services at sundown April 3, in the homes of Jews throughout the world. The oldest holiday in the Jewish calendar, it has its beginnings in the early Spring festal celebrations of shep- herds and farmers and has an added significance in that 1t is also made an occasion of thanks giving for the redemption of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. Though celebrated in the Temple when Jerusalem was the religious center of Judaism, the Passover afterward became and has remained primarily c holiday nlaservarce in the home.
