ROCHESTER, N. Y, May 29.-The
1920 General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church in the United
States prepared to adjourn today
after approving a proposal permit
ting conscientious objectors to war

The resolution, milder than those
rejected earlier, also provides that

ernment about establishing the

1t calls for a special committee "to

The assembly referred to the Com

position to anti-Semitism in any

I pointed out that for rifles and
machine guns the Belgian caliber Is
the 765 millimeter Mauser, used by
no other European army save the
Turkish. It will be recalled that in
their retreat from Antwerp during
the last war the Belgian Army lost
a great part of its ammunition re-
serves and had thereafter to use in
great part British and French
weapons, since the Allied countries
could not supply the Belgian am
munition. A similar situation may

accentuated by German air attacks
on depots, dumps and trains, which
could not be made good by the
Allies-neither the British 1903 Lee

by the Belgian small arms.

same motions. With Western Eu-
rope shambles, and Civilizations
future at stake, the campaign will
open in an atmosphere OF sad
unreality.
Whether convention events will
even contrive to break onto front
pages seems at this hour problemat-
ical, nationally vital as their outcome
will be. Certainly Philadelphia and
Chicago will not absorb popular
interest to the customary degree.
People will be keen to know who
is to be the Republican nominee.
Curiosity will be even livelier as to
Roosevelt's decision about a third
term. But everything else - plat
forms, demonstrations, speeches,
maneuverings and the other clap
trappings of conventions-this time
is the smallest of potatoes. The
county will have little interest in
them.
War to Dominate All.
Naturally, the war will dominate
both Republican and Democratic
proceedings. The conventions take
place against a background like that
of 1916. Twenty-four years ago the
parties convened in the midst Of
another great European confiagra-
ton. Americas attitude vas the
paramount issue, framed by the
Democratic slogan that Woodrow
Wilson had kept us out Of war"
and deserved reelection for that
achievement. This time the war
presents itself in entirely different
guise. 1t is not a question of the
incumbent President having kept
us out of war" but whether condi-
tions will permit us to remain at
peace. Preparedness for the grim
possibility that we shall sooner or
later have to fight in self-defense
overshadows all other considerations.
The likelihood is strong that ma
tional security therefore may be the
issue over which the parties will
lock horns. II Roosevelt is drafted
at Chicago, it will be on the theory
that his reelection is indispensable
and that his record on national de-
fense is unassailable. The Demo-
Gratis are without fear on that score.

United States against any or all


attacks.
Public opinion is something pow
erful enough to affect a President
in times of crisis, especially when it
manifests itself plainly. The trou-
BILE is that the facts have been
camoufaged or CLOSED over. The
people do not know how inadequate
are our national defenses to meet
the kind of emergencies that may
arise. They are willing, however,
to let bygones be bygones and forget
the past if there is any sign that
the new policies will assure the at
tainment of the desired result. It Is
because the administration prefers
to play politics with national de-
fense and refuses to open up the
governmental power to all classes
that business and industry will find
itself pervaded with sense of dis
appointment where there should be
eagerness and enthusiasm and a
high morale.

The President was quite accurate in

his administration. He omitted to

out of account whether Dewey, with
his head start for the presidential
nomination, would accept second
place behind a dark horse interloper
like Willkie.
WILKES Greed.
Willkie has broadly indorsed
Roosevelt's foreign policy, but is an
uncompromising foe of the new Deal
economic creed. He as unqualifiedly
opposes the third term. Recently
he wrote that F. D. r. should be
renominated because the country
would then have a chance not only
to maintain the anti-third term
tradition, but pronounce "a clean
cut verdict" against New Deal busi-
ness philosophy Whether "Gov-
ernment control over the individual
shall be extended and intensified"
was declared by Willkie "the most
vital issue of the coming campaign"
AS that was before the war barged
overwhelmingly into the national
picture, 1t may be that his view as
to the vital issue has undergone
some revision. Speaking at Kansas
City last week, Willkie stressed the
urgency of national defense, but said
"the basic factor in it Is sound
economic system"

Youth ZealOts Rebuked.
Nothing more salutary or timely
has aroused national notice in this
anxious hour than recent utterances
by DR.. Archibald MacLeish and Mrs.
Roosevelt on subjects connected with
the youth movements relationship
to war. The new head of the
Library of Congress, addressing the
Adult Education Association, in sub
stance apologized for the cult of
rabid anti-war books, plays and pleas
which deluged America after the
World War and which is responsible
for the wrong-thinking which per-
meates large section of the present
generation of American young peo-
pie respecting their patriotic obliga-
tions. DR.. MacLeish apparently now
holds that his own generation of
writer's and thinkers is considerably
to blame for the widely prevalent
state of moral disarmament among
our youth.
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke in even
franker vein this week before the
New York Youth Congress, which
she accused to its face of making
a tragic mistake in opposing defense
measures. In adopting resolutions
on such subjects, the Presidents wife
declared, youth is talking about
something it cannot possibly hope
to understand. Just before Mrs.
Roosevelt addressed the congress, it
adopted resolution condemning the
emergency defense program. The
meeting gave wild ovation to Rep
resentative Marcantonio, American
Labor party, of New York, who cast
the only vote in Congress against
the re-armament program.

Even people who use the same
language have difficulty enough
in making their meanings clear
to others. There is only one Ian
guage which I know of in which
every word has a precise mean
ing and cannot be used to mean
anything else. That is French.
For two hundred years the
French Academy has maintained
bureau to define every word in
the language and establish the
the precise word for every new
thing which calls for a new word
The result is that every intelli-
gent Frenchman knows exactly
what any other Frenchman is
talking or writing about.
That is more than can be said
for our own hodge-podge Ian
guage that we call English, but
which is really a mixture of al

en- me a few definitions.
have never been able to fig
ure out why our Government has
never coined a two and one-half
cent piece. It would be extremely
handy for many purposes. It pro-
badly would become the standard
price for newspapers. Things that
are sold at two for a quarter
would not have to be bought in
pairs.
When I was boy the half-cent
bronze coins were not uncommon.
We had two kinds of three cent
pieces, one of silver and the other
of nickel. Two cent pieces were
common, made of copper, about
the size of a quarter. We had tiny
little silver five cent pieces and
larger ones made Of nickel but
about the size of the dime of to-
day. There was a silver twenty
cent piece in general use fifty
years ago, not quite as large as a
quarter.
Gold coins have been entirely
withdrawn from circulation. but
their use had been diminishing
for many years before they were
officially called in by the Gov
eminent. The gold dollar which
used to see was smaller and thin
ner than dime. Then there was
the $2k gold piece, the half-eagle
or five dollar piece, the ten dol
lar eagle and the twenty dollar
double-eagle, about the size of a
silver half dollar. Sometimes
used to see fifty dollar gold pieces
which had been coined by pri-
vate minis in California.

There is much less nervousness
