record of the FCA, an dthere was
general dissatisfaction when former
Governor F. F. Hill resigned from
the Agency. A. G. Black, the new
Governor, is a close associate Of
Secretary Wallace, and radical
changes have been expected in the
administration of the FCA, with
greater consideration for political
factors than for sound credit. The
National Grange and other produc-
ers' groups have recently organized
to seek congressional action to re-
store the Credit Agency to its for
mer status of independence and to
prevent its exploitation by Secre-
tary Wallace.
MOUNT MCKINLEY NATION
AL PARK-An administration bill
to authorize the Federal Govern
ment to purchase housing and
transportation facilities in Mount
Mckinley National Park in Alaska
and to construct and operate such
business for tourists narrowly es-
capped defeat in the House March 6
by vote of 173 to 169. The mea-
sure originally contained no finan-
cial limitations, but an amendment
set a maximum amount of $50 900
to buy existing private facilities.
This is just one more example of
federal activity in the field of pri-
vate enterprise.
AMERICAN LEGION COMES
OF AGEiThe American Legion
achieved the mature age of twenty
one this week, this Veterans or
ganization having been formed in
Paris on March Is, 1919. Not only
does this group maintain an active
interest in national affairs, but the
annual conventions reflect member
ship sentiment outlining legislative
policies. Because of experieces of
Legionnaires in the World War,
they advocate non-involvement in
foreign wars and strict neutrality.
There are about 165 war veterans
in the House who have definite
ideas and opinions about our for
eign policies.
GOLD PROBLEM fact that
Senator ]. Elmer Thomas has pro-
posed to solve the United States
gold problem by lending the gold
abroad again clearly shows the
pressing necessity of some solution
of this problem. If the gold is
loaned abroad through the Export
Import Bank as Senator Thomas
suggests, however, we shall be rid |
of the gold problem only to find
ourselves involved in a new foreign |
debt problem. In other words, the |
American excess Of gold would be
cut down only in proportion to the
up Of a payment problem
similar to that of the old war debts.
Since the United States now con-
tains some two-thirds of the
worlds gold, the war with its flow
of gold for purchases only increases
the problem. 1t seems only too
likely that should the United States
acquire still more of the metal that
Europe may then simply abandon
it as standard. AS result, the
boarded gold in Kentucky would
prove of little use to this country.

WISDOM
of the
TAIN u d
Angels and Man
BY MORRIS KRAMER

When God was about to create
man the angels gathered about
Him. Some of them opening their
lips exclaimed, Create, o God, a
being who shall praise Thee from
earth even as we in heaven sing
Thy glory"
But others said:
Hear us, Almighty King, Gre
ate no more! The glorious harmony
of the heavens which Thou hast
sent to earth will be by man dis
turbed, destroyed"
Then silence fell upon the con-
testing hosts as the Angel of Mer-
cy appeared before the throne Of
grace on Bonded knees.
Sweet was the voice which said
entreatingly:
20 Father, create Thou man;
make him Thine own noble image.
With heavenly pity will I fill his
heart, with sympathy toward ev-
cry living thing impress his being;
through him will they find cause
to praise Thee"
Then the Angel of Mercy ceased,
and the Angel of Peace with tear
full eyes spoke thus:
20 God, create him not! Thy
peace he will disturb, the flow of
blood will follow sure his coming.
Confusion, horror, war, will blot
the earth, and Thou wilt not long
er find pleasant place among Thy
works on earth"
Then spoke in stern tones the
Angel of Justice:
"And Thou wilt judge him, God;
he shall be subject to my sway"
The Angel OF Truth approached
saying:
Cease! o God of truth, with
man Thou sendest falsehood to the
earth"
Then all were silent, and out Of
the deep quietness the Divine
words came:
"Thou, o Truth, shall go to the
earth with him, and yet remain a

This Weeks Sedrah
By RABBI DAVID b. ALPERT

'But with thee will 1 establish
my covenant. :" Genesis GIL;
p NOah).
The first glimpse of biography
in the Bible is an unfavorbale one.
Touches of description are given
us of Noah and the sort of man he
was. Good things are said of Noah,
but the general impression is of a.
collorless man of no particular
character traits. Political cam
paigns suggest the same thing: it
is easier to describe the evil in a
person than it is to present his
good.
Colorless as a person, Moan
was; yet he stood head and Shout
ders above the people of his day.
While a child of his generation,
he was in some ways ahead of his
generation. He survived the flood;
he befriended the dumb animals;
ne sought to exercise wise rule
over his household; he learned
some of life's elementary lessons,
though he might have learned
more, and made more use of what
he did know. When we condemn
him, we are, however, applying the
standards of another day and age.
What will our progress and good
ness seem in the eyes of a later
generation?
From Noah, according to Jew
ish tradition, date the seven No
achian laws of universal signifi-
canoe. Sometimes it is suggested
that these seven laws might be
the basis and groundwork of a
more universal society, binding up
on all men. 1. Avoid idolatry and
immortality. 2. Honor the name of
God. 8. Establish courts of justice:
4. Do not kill. 5. Do not commit
adultery. 6. Do not steal. z. Do not
tear an animal apart, and do not
eat from such an animal. Some
times these laws are given in vari-
atoms and in amplifications, but
essentially these are the rules for
the government of human society.
These are the basic fundamentals
of community life, associated with
the name of Noah.

A little house in the suburbs"
again was home to an English
mother and her two young children
today, but it was in the suburbs of
Washington, an ocean away from
those of Liverpool, which they left
as war came dangerously close.
When German raiders began to
drone over the British port, Gordon
Firth, a bank employe, became
uneasy for his family, and when
bombs started to drop within a mile
and half of their home, he wrote

promptly offered to care for his

John and the childrens 76-year- old

An interesting sidelight, inciden-

New York and Ohio is found in the
records of past presidential elections
Since 1876, when New York fa-
vored the unlucky Samuel j. Tilden,
only one candidate has won the
presidency without winning the EN-

+. &C. Will Employ
81 More Persons
In New Phone Unit
Funds Recently Provided
For Regulatory Agency
Voted Six Years Ago
BY WILLIAM ], WHEATLEY.

The ederal Communications
Commission is preparing to add 81
new employees in new unit for
regulation of telephone companies,
1t was learned yesterday.
Those to be hired will be mainly
professionally and technically train
ed persons, including telephone
engineers, accountants and lawyers.
A small number of clerks and STEM
ographers also will be added.
The funds for starting the regula-
tory unit were only recently pro-
vided by Congress, although the
enacted in 1884, laid down regula-
ton of telephone companies as one
of its primary functions.
S125,OOO Provided.
Congress provided S125,000 for the
next eight months, but some F. c. c..
members hope funds for a greatly
expanded force will be provided for
the next year so the commission
can perform a more complete job
of regulation.
Commissioner Paul A. Walker,
who has dealt largely with tele-
phone matters, said it had not been
determined in just what direction Of
regulation the appropriation will be
spent. but he pointed out there are
pending a number of complaints
about rates for short distances.
There is also the matter of the divl-
sion between the Bell companies
and the independent companies OF
exchange and longdiStance rates.
He said the States have found it
impossible adequately to determine
the exchange rates without CO.
operation of the commission.
National Defense Problem.
One of the most troublesome
telephone problems now before the
commission. he said, is that which
arises where State line is close
to a large city such as in the
Chicago and Washington. D. c..
areas. He said the telephone
companies have contended the F.
c. C. does not have jurisdiction,
and some of the State authorities
contend the matter is ullueI reuel al
Jurisdiction. The result is a sort
of no-man's land of non-regulatlon.
In connection with national de-
fense, he said. the commission is
called on to examine the volume OF
traffic handled over the circuits,
particularly in connection with
International service, and give
various information as to the wires
to be used, how traffic can be
handled. etc.
The F. c. c. also desires to in
vestigate charges superimposed by
hotels over the regular telephone
company rates for toll and long
distance interstate messages, Mr..
Walker said.
