SUBORDINATION OF THE

agree also that Mrs Eddy is their
Leader. TO be followed. Christian
Scientists know that blessings sure
II viii accrue TO us in doing as the
Master did. and in walking in the
footsteps Of our Leader as she fol-
lowed Christ. Now both Jesus and
Mrs. Eddy subordinated the human
10 the divine. Jesus gave God the
glory and yielded Him answering
obedience. He enjoined upon rs.
Seek re first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto
you" Matt 6:SSl. No privation nor

From Other Angles
SAVING FACE
Asheville CtiZen-Times

When the Japanese government arrested sew
eral Britons the other day on espion-
age charges, Britain filed a very vigorous pro-
test, letting the Japanese and the world know
that she took "a serious view" of the incidents.
These remonstrances have not yet availed to
effect the release of the prisoners.
The tension created by Japan's action has
now been heightened by the detention of two
Japanese business men by Scotland Yard. The
British government has not explained the rea-
sons for these arrests but the presumption is
that the Japanese were involved in activities
inimical to Britain's security. Not to be I'm
done, Japan has protested these arrests.
Japan never forgave Britain for terminating
the Anglo-Japanese alliance as a concession
to the United States at the time of the Wash
ington Naval Conference. Or the surface the
relations between them remained peaceful I'M
til Britain became so beset with her dangers
at home that Japan thought that she could
safely engage in provocative and aggressive
activities at the expense of Britain's prestige
in the Far East. Now she is retaliating in
heaping measure. Her insolence is all the more
daring because she is encouraged by Germany
and Italy.
Japan insists that the Britons were arrested
for good and sufficient cause. Britain conveys
the impression that the detention of the Jap
anese business men was a coincidence and
not a retaliation. If the full truth were known.
it would perhaps show that Japan deliberately
ordered the arrest of the Britishers in order
to advertise the impotence of Britain in the
Far East. If all the facts were made public,
they would doubtless reveal that the Churchill
ministry had the japanese business men de-
tanned in an eye-for-an-eye spirit.
Face-saving is a powerful consideration in
the Far East. Both Japan and Britain know
that if either permits the other to get by with
high-handed conduct at the expense of he!
nationals, prestige will be lost. The arrests and
counter-arrests are undoubtedly chapters in 4
vast face-saving game which will become worse
rather than better as the weeks lengthen. The
stakes are high for they involve the prestige
of two empires.

advanta ged, both in finding favorable landing
n,aces on the British coast and in having the
protection of fog en- route, provided, OF course
Nazi navigators escaped rocks, shoals or other
natural handicaps while inshore, and British
naval craft and Royal Air Force fiers were not
able to SPOT them in low visibility.
Meteorological conditions favor land attack
now. Whether Brifain's enemy will seek to take
of them is a question only Hitler
can answer. And while he is not likely to
his plans in advance, it is permits
sible to believe that it will take more tina
weather for him to stake all on in
vasion at this time.
Britain has not been idle in recent weeks,
cor have her activities been futile. Air bomb
ings on the continent must nave greatly re-
duced supply concentrations. Although British
airmen bring home word of large moblllza-
lions at continental coastal points, the steady
rain of bombs British warplanes have sen,
upon German bases have weakened
enemy supply lines, destroyed large stores OF
gasoline and munitions, transports and planes.
These losses, imposed while the enemy is
its efforts toward attack, have slowed
preparations.
We nave no means of knowing, but even
nigh tides and fog may be no adequate offset
Tor these losses. One thing is certain. Unless
Britain is improbable.

Respecting A Treaty

A Choctaw chief in Mississippi demands trial
for murder by his own tribe, claiming exemp-
ton from the white mans court under a
treaty signed in 1880. AS quoted by the Raleigh
News and Observer, Chief Wesley, the Missis-
sippi Choctaw, says White mans history all
wet. The treaty was signed for as long as the
sun shines, as long as the green grass grows.
as long as the clouds come up and the water
falls"
That, of course, is the general understand
ing about treaties, Notwithstanding examples to
the contrary in modern Europe. That, too, is
the Indians understanding of a pledge. But it
is not the universal understanding of the white
mans courts, if Mississippi insists upon trying
Chief Wesley before its own bar.
Indian try Indian is still the custom in one
southern state. Some three or four years ago
an Indian committed murder not far f r o m
Miami, Florida. The white authorities knew
nothing about it until a Seminole chief shot
Town the murderer, in accordance with the
tribal custom and, as the Seminoles believed,
in conformance with the treaty of 1880.
He was brought into court, but was speedily
turned over to the Indian agent of the district
who, upon his own authority or on orders from
Washington, released him. The decision was
that execution of the murderer was in accord
ance with tribal custom and the whites court
had no jurisdiction. Mississippi and Florida
ought to get together on Indian affairs.

WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK
WASHINGTON-Aug. 5.-Capital talk:

WASHINGTON-Aug. 5.-Capital talk:
In recent weeks, no man has so covered
himself with what passes for success in diplo-
macy as Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
When the conference was called, the capital
was full of skepticism. These Pan-American
conferences always had been sessions of sound
and fury signifying nothing much and this.
everyone said, was going to be just another
one. The economic situation was too full of
antagonistic selfish interests. AS for the Mon
roe Doctrine, that always had been the United
States own baby.
A United Front
That's the way talk ran around here before
American nations at Havana. Secretary Hull
arrived on the scene and went to work.
One of. the men who was at the conference
said: mo man worked harder than he. No
man was more patient, more tolerant, more
deeply solicitous of the wishes and views and
attitudes of the other delegations and be it
said also that no man enjoyed more esteem"
Those are attributes of craftsmanship and
with those attributes Hull nodded the confer
ences into a united front.
True it is that Argentina is a little cool
to the whole business and its congress may
not ratify that "act of Havana" but that does
not keep official Washington from showering
Hull with such phrases as 1.-The browning
achievement of your long and illustrious ca
reer."
Pairing Budgets
The talk continues to circulate about Wen
dell L. Willkie and President Roosevelt getting
together for conferences on vital matters in
the foreign situation. But hard-headed politi-
clans argue that the Republicans would be
against it because it would shoot holes in their
campaign contention that the President islead-
ing us into war. The Democrats would be
against it because they are taking all the
responsibility for our foreign policy and will
continue to do so through those vital days
ahead (until next January at least, even if the
election goes against them) and that there
should be no question of sharing the credit,
if any.
In other words, if the political observers are
right, you can look for no further coalition or
united front from either of the parties until
after. November. if then.
With all the billions being spent by the
government here now, there's scarcely a de-
partment that isn't sweating over economies.
At the insistence of the President and the
budget director, they are cutting from $780,
600, 900 to $500, 600, 900 off current e x p e n S e S.
What's worrying the rank and file of govern
ment workers is whether salary cuts will get
into the economy drive too. The president says
not if he can help it. 3

Enlist Now

Captain c.. D. Cunningham of the Whining
terry A, makes a point for enlistments by
showing that it will be greater advantage for
Wilmington's young men to enter the military
service among friends in their own home town
and so find their environment c%ongenial, than
to be called at some future time by whatever
method the government employees and stand
Z chance of being placed among entire strang-
ers, with nothing in common but the purpose
to learn the soldering trade.
1t is a fact that sooner or later the young men
of the country will have to take up arms either
for a long training period or for actual war
fare. There is no longer any doubt that the
d~ictators of Europe will make a play for furth-
er conquests, and with most of Europe under
their control will direct their attention to the
Western Hemisphere. BY terms of the new
Act OF Havana, the Americas are united for
mutual protection against European agrees
sion. This means that whether the United
States is attacked or not any attempt to occupy
territory in this hemisphere by a nation beyond
the sea would call for resistance by the arm
ed forces of this country. The need for a train
ed army of larger size than in any previous
peace period if obvious.
The men who place themselves in line for the
necessary training now in organizations al
ready functioning will be benefited by asso-
citation with their friends. With this induce
ment, and facing certain demand upon their
services in the near future, it would seem
that the call from Captain cunningham for
volunteers, as the Light Infantry prepares for
camp, should receive a spontaneous response.

. TAKE 1T EASY
We All Need
Periods Of Doing
Absolutely Nothing
BY DR.. L..
RATHBONE

No animal was ever expected to
keep moving and on the alert for
16 or more hours at a stretch. Man,
with his highly developed nervous
system and brain, needs periodic
res just as much as the lower ami
mails,
Man furthermore was never ex-
pected to prowl around at night.
He cannot sense his environment
in darkness. So. until very recently,
he went to bed at nightfall and
arose at dawn. But now, with cleo
trio lights, he can change his en-
vironment to suit his sense organs
and can keep going any hour of
day or night. For mans projection
of physical and mental activity into
the hours of night has come a
grave Observation-Disclosures fatigue.
Fortunately there are simple
things that one a do to offset
this stimulating activity.
One can set aside two brief pc
RODS each day for conscious relax
alton. Relaxation does no. have to
be practiced in ones own room or
in ideal surroundings.
If everyone chose to relax COM
pletely for a few minutes just be-
fore dinner, they could have the
same comfortable surroundings.
The other daily period should be
before lunch.
The only trick to relaxing totally
is to learn to do absolutely nothing.
Give your body completely to the
surface you r lying on or the
chair you r slumping in.
If you are lying down, you will
find a position on your back most
comfortable for conscious relaxing.
If you are in a chair, either lean
forward, resting your arms a n d
head on a desk or table, or lean
back with the nape of your neck on
the back of the chair. In whatever
position is available, feel as though
your body were soaking into it's
support.
If muscles anywhere in the body
have been tense for some time you
will find that one message from the
brain for them to relax is not
enough.
The brief rest pauses recon-
mended for everyone, every day,
should be spent on this conscious
releasing of tension wherever it
is to be found in the external
muscles. Most common spots r
the calves, the buttocks, the lower
back, the neck, face and arms.
Persistent practice in releasing
this tension always brings relief. 4
