Christian Mission to Launch

Services to Be Held Here Februury2

Church and to experience anew the
! thrill of creative change in individ-
ual and social life 1t is an attempt
to get Christianity into action so
that its full impact may be felt
by our generation. It is a remobili-
zation of our spiritual forces which
the gravity of the hour and the in
articulate spiritual hunger of the
masses demand.
Three alternatives confront So
ciety today: the collapse of civ
ilization-the acceptance of a new
pagan faith like Fascism or Com
muniSm-or the revival of Chris
tianity on a scale and at an in
tensity quite beyond anything our
day is visiualizing.
I'VE believe that the Christian
Gospel has the relevant and signifi-
cant word to say in this present
crisis. 1t is the living force the
world so tragically needs. 1t in
vites men and women to discover
Gods Transforming grace in their
own lives and then relate their no

ing on for years under the New
Deal administration, and appar-
emily it is. to be continued through
out this presidential campaign.
The military draft law. recently
passed by Congress and approved by
the President. was strongly urged
as democratic meaSure-the most
democratic way of raising an army
large enough to defend this country
against foreign aggression. OF
course. it is the most democratic
way, provided it is properly admin
istered. However, if sons of men of
wealth and governmental promin-
ence are to be given commissions in
the Army Immediately, although
they have had no military training
or experience. the feeling of men
who are drafted into the enlisted
personnel is not likely to be that of
satisfaction. Indeed, resentment
against the draft may easily de-
velop, not only on the part of the
men who are taken by the draft but
also on the part of their families.
In the Middle West the Draft Act
has been accepted as the necessary
thing. There are exceptions Of
course, but generally speaking there
is no visible resentment against the
law which calls young men into the
n
proper military training.
Protest From Detroit.
One complaint has gone up in De-
troit, not so much against the Draft
act itself as against the makeup of
the SO draft boards selected to
handle the draft in Wayne County,
which includes Detroit. This COM
plant is lodged by R. J. Thomas,
president of the U. A. VIC. I. O.,
who points out that no member of
his union has place on the draft
boards. He has telegraphed Presi-
dent Roosevelt asking him not to ap-
prove personnel of the draft boards
submitted by Gov Dickinson until
a fair number of labor men are ap-
pointed"

qarters it is considered significant
that there has been but little COM
ment in the Moscow press over the
historical developments of yester-
day The point of view of the U. S.
S. R. government appears to be that
the present agreements with Ger
many cover only Europe and not
Asia.
The japanese, who have taken
the plunge with greater misgivirgs
than the italians in June. look to
Russia as a serious cause of con-
Germ.
When II Duce joined Hitler Ger
many appeared to have won the
war. The main continental army
France's-had collapsed and Britain
appeared unable to resist the tre-
mendous onslaught the Germans
were preparing. This country had
no interventionist ideas and was not
considered even a possibility" in
the estimates of the general stats
of the axis powers.
Japan has joined Germany and
Italy for the purpose-as far as the
European side of the axis is con-
cerned-of soaring of the United
States and preventing war materials
from reaching Great Britain. The
British had foiled Hitler's plans and
something had to be done immeGi-
ately to stop the continual flow Of
airplanes and munitions to the be-
leagured island AS a reward for
keeping America in orCer" Japan
was given control ot all Asia and
the assurance that Russia will keep
quiet.
Stain, following his usual policy,
has promised everything the Ger
mans wanted, but with his fingers
crossed. Unlike last year when he
was asked to send troops into Po-
land, he was required not to fight
at all and this he has promised.
But the Japanese are not quite
happy about the Red dictator's prom
ise. They know what it means.
And they also know that in the
event the japanese come to grips
with the United States Navy the
Russians will waste no time in at
tacking should the result be un-
favorable to Japan.
Toxic Finds Price High.
The enmity between the Russians
and the Nipponese empire is almost
half century old and has never
been settled. Since the conQuesc
Of Korea by Japan the Russo-Jap-
anese conflict has been kept alive
with Russia usually getting the
worst of 1t.
Japan is now trying hard to
reach a definite agreement with
the U. S. S. R. This, Moscow is re-
ported to say, is possible provided
the japanese are disposed to make
sufficient concessions to assure per-
manently the Siberian frontier
against any menace from the south.
