WASHINGTON-P Roose- welt has finally intervened in hot behind- d-the-scenes row between his State and Treasury Departments over the freezing of German and Italian funds in the United States. He has sided with Henry Morgen- thau in favor of tying up all Axis money now in this country.
 The matter has been under con- fidential consideration for some time, but it came to head the other day when $2,OOO,000 in U. s. cur rency was seized in the Italian dip lcmatic pouch en route to Mexico. Obviously the cash was for propa- ganda and subversive activities on the doorstep of the United States.
 The money, although seized, had to be returned to the Italian Le- gation in Mexico. There was no legal way of preventing it's use for propaganda.
 If all Italian and German funds WtIt llOLtil III OllC OlilVOa )eetoSp, then every cent spent by the Italian and German Embassies and their Ccnsulates would be subject to scru- tiny by the U S. Government. In other words, the two Axis powers could not draw from their funds held here, until they showed their books and told what the money was being spent for This is virtu- ally what the French Embassy has to do today.
 This would help tremendously in curtailing expenditures for sabot- age.
 Another reason put forward by the Treasury for freezing Axis funds in this country is that U. s. funds in Germany and Italy already are frozen. in effect, because of cur rency controls which prevent the transfer of money out of those two countries.
 Dutch, Norwegian, Belgian, French Danish and Baltic funds here have been frozen largely for their own protection. But the Axis powers would consider such action an ig- nominious affront, and the State Department fears it might lead to a break in diplomatic relations.
 The State Department is not con- cerned so much over such a break with Germany as with Italy. It believes that sentiment inside Italy is becoming more friendly to the United States and leaning away from Hitler, a change which U. S. diplomacy seeks to encourage.
 However, the Treasury pointed to the increasing number of mu- nitions factories where explosions have mysteriously occurred, and urged the importance of stopping the expenditure of Axis money for subversive activities. Increasing evil

The ideal Of the Pan-American

fifty years ago thoughtful leaders
in countries on both sides Of the
Equator were talking about a fedora
ton of the peoples Of the Western
Hemisphere. Indeed, from the very
beginning of colonization there was
mutuality of interest evident--a

seem to require formal expression,
but which nevertheless wanted prac-
itcal recognition in commerce and

social intercourse which is natural
between civilized communities. Citi-

of womanhood and the conservation Of

JESUS CHRIST, LIBERAToR
By the Right Reu James T. Freeman D. D. IL. D. D. c. L.
Bishop OF Washington.

Victor Hugo, Frances incompatible
author. once wrote: "The first tree Of
liberty was planted l8 centuries ago by
God Himself on Golgotha. The first
tree of liberty was that cross on which
Jesus Christ was offered, q sacrifice for
the liberty, equality and fraternity Of
the human race"
That Jesus Christ should be accorded
q place among the worlds emancipators
may, on first consideration, seem strange,
but we believe that in no aspect Of His
life. other than that Of the worlds
Saviour, does He come 80 close to the
heart Of humanity as In the role OF the
worlds nberator. One Of the great pur-
poses Of His life, as He repeatedly as
serted, was the liberation Of men from
the thralldons that had restrained and
shackled them through the ages. He
touched with His divine hand the chain
that bound man to a past full Of crude
and arbitrary conceptions of God and
OF Hfes obligations. We believe that in
three conspicuous ways Christ witnesses
to the high place of leadership as the
hberator Of men.
First, He is the liberator of men from
the thralldom Of human PHILOSOPHERS.
Second, He is the nberator OF men from
the thralldom Of fear. Third, He is the
Iberator of men from the thralldom Of
sin. That the world at the coming of
Christ was rich in philosophy and that
1t had many noble religious systems, no
one would venture for an instant to
deny. Notwithstanding this, the world
had largely lost the inspiration of true
and deep religious faith. It had substi-
tuted the teachings of men for the com.
mandments of God. It was vainly seek

hope-these were the root causes of the

its great vision. Jesus came declaring

Perhaps the barriers Of language
had something to do with the tardi-
ness with which the Pan-American
Union came into being. The peoples
of the Latin countries found English
difficult, these Of the United States
were backward in attempting Span
ish and Portuguese. But 1t was
inevitable that books should be
translated, universal press services
established, radio broadcasting ex-
panded, motion pictures of general
appeal distributed to cities and towns
from Alaska to the tip of the Argen-
tine. Boys from the South came
North to school, men from the North
went South to build railroads, open
mines, drill for oil. Families in which
an international atmosphere pre-
vailed were the result. In each such
circle Washington and Bolivar were
honored with an equal reverence.
The Monroe Doctrine, at first mis-
understood, came to be appreciated
for its protective effect. Especially
after the Spanish-American War,
strong bonds of friendship were
forged between the two continents
in which democracy prevailed.
OF course, there were occasional
losses as well as notable gains. All
the more reason, on that account,
for clearing house" such as the
Pan-American Union has been
during the past five decades and
providentially will be through CEN
turieS to come. Within its beautiful
walls twenty-one republics have a
home In which the representatives
of each may meet in the pride and
likewise in the honorable simplicity
OF fellowship. Glance at Europe to-
day for the correction Of any doubt

When the House Judiciary Com
mittee meets Tuesday it should take
action on the Hatch clean politics
bill and give the full membership
Of the lower branch of Congress a
chance to vote on this important
measure before the present session
ends.
It is nearly a month since the SEN
ate passed the bill, after two weeks
Of thorough debate, and the record
of that debate has been available
long enough to enable each member
of the House to form his own judg-
ment.
Reports have gained circulation
that some members would prefer to
see the bill languish in committee.
The committee can dispel these
rumors by voting on the measure
Tuesday, but another postponement
would tend to strengthen such re-
ports. Any member of Congress is
within his rights in opposing bill,
but when a measure Is held In COM
mittee it has the effect of substitute
ing the judgment Of a small group
for the Judgment of the entire mem
bership.
The Judiciary Committee should
not delay action for still another
reason: Even If it votes favorable
report, the measure still must 60

1t can find place on the House

A Deserved Rebuke

rule by violence are on the march
throughout the world there may
seem to be a certain futility in the
protests of those whose sense OF
decency is outraged by lawless acts,
whether they be on the part of
individuals or of nations. But these
protests cannot be entirely without
force. President Roosevelt's de-
nunciation of the German invasion
of Norway and Denmark will not
stay the hand of the Reich's mill
tary machine, now that it has en-
barked upon this evil undertaking,
but it does serve to charge the law
breaker with responsibility for his
criminal acts and it may be ex-
pected to help formulate world
opinion against the transgressor.
In the final analysis, even the most
ruthless of dictators must give some
weight to the judgment of powerful
neutrals, and it is in this respect
that the Presidents statement OF
yesterday, coupled with his past
rebukes to aggressors, finds its use
fulness.
Paying tribute to the Danes and
Norwegians for the manner in which
they have won the respect and re-
gard mot only of the American peo-
pie, but of all peoples, because OF
their observance of the highest
standards of national and interna-
tional conduct" Mr.. Roosevelt re-
iterated with undiminished. empha-
sis" the disapprobation with which
the United States Government re-
CARDS the unlawful exercise of force.
And, as on previous occasion, he
coupled with his statement the
warning that eff civilization is to
survive, the rights of the smaller
nations to independence, to their
territorial integrity and to the un-
impeded opportunity for self-gov-
ernment must be respected by their
more powerful neighbors."
The small nations are indeed en-
titled to the rights he enumerates,
for they have been in the vanguard
of the march toward the building up
of respect for law, on which they
must depend for protection. When
the law itself breaks down, when
lawless states decide to throw over
board all the rules of conduct which
international custom dictates, the
small nations are the ones who suffer
most.
Mr.. Roosevelt's denunciation comes
at moment when the small nations,
in Europe particularly, are in the
greatest peril, fearful for their free
and peaceful existence. The Swedes,
the Belgians and the Dutch are now
finding it necessary to take extraor-
dinary precautions to meet invasion
of their soil with a forceful defense.
But, although they are the most i'm
mediately menaced, they are not
alone. The Firms, who have just
been forced to accept a peace of
injustice, the Swiss and all those
little nationalities of Southeastern
Europe cannot be sure that tomorrow
they will not be victims of the sword
which Germany has plunged into
Denmark and Norway.
