70 Notice Received
On Papal Protest
Rev. Martin j. LOrenz Expects Official Word On United
Lutlerans' Objection 10 Papal Envoy

which has protested President
Franklin d. Roosevelt's appointment
Of q personal representative TO the
Vatican in the interest Of worlc
peace as 'Un-American'.
The statements from Or. Knubel
are expected to be mailed shortly
TO $500 Lutheran pastors through
out the United States who repre-
sent nearly half Of the Lutherans IN
the United States.
Roosevelt's appointment Of Myron
9. Taylor to discuss peace with Pope
Plus XII was described as "u1neces-
Sary' and 'disrHptive Of American
unity and a cause for suspicion
that political influences from reh.
gious sources are being exerted
upon American national Wife.
The Lutheran clergyEnen however
acknowledge the sincerity Of the
presidents peace efforts, but be-
iieve the plan threatens itself by
combining this unity Of Americas
spiritual and civil authority with q
single foreign spiritual and civil
authority, the Vatican state
The statement to be sent TO the
various Lutheran pastors will be
captioned protest against Vatican
relationship and asserts that peo-
pie Of this country want peace but
they do not want American spir-
itual principles undermined The
statement further will aver that the
Pope IS Gods servant, but he Is not
Gods servant for American nation
al life. Even many American Ro-
man Catholics do not regard him
and certainly the great majority OF
Americans do not; the statement
will further contend.

Both Britair-with France follow

expected to play important parts IN
deciding the turn Of coming events.
The London government obviously
Is considering the possibility Of a
formal break In relations with Mos
COW, but at the same time seeking
to avoid taking the initiative In
such q move. From London 1t was
reported that the forthcoming
foreign office white book, which will
contain the British version Of the
vain negotiations for a mutual aid
pact with Russia before the war
started, will say that the Soviets
at the last minute demanded Bri-
tish and French approval Of their
plans for extending their zone Of
operations to the Baltic States.
The White Paper will be, 1t was
predicted, moderate In tone but
there were many who believed that
It might lead the Soviets TO break
relations. The British, French and
Italian ambassadors to Moscow are
en- route or expected soon to be en-
route to their own capitals and IT
was considered questionable whether
they will return to Moscow

Both Britain and France expressed
unofficial satisfaction with Presi-

grounds for satisfaction with parts
OF the speech which emphasized the
American opposition TO participation

Disarmament Needed Too

All to frequent shooting at
fairs, cutting scrapeS and other
forms of violence which one sees
chronicled in the daily press
are plain enough in indication
that some sort of disarma-
ment program is needed here at
home. When tempers flare up
over some trivality going for
Il gun or knife is the worst thing
anyone can do. In nine cases out
of ten resorting to violence and
taking the law into ones own
hands is sign of being on the
wrong side of n debate and the
flare of anger is motiviated by
nothing more than that
1t is all right to play the
game of life as one so wishes
but no body has yet to get far
taking the law into his hands.
No matter how much one is con-
WINGED he or she ought to wreak
vengeance upon another that
thought is evil and no good
can come of usurping something
that belongs to God-.that is if
after a moments reflection one
does not discover he is not i'm
any way entitled to revenge.
Violence coming from liquor
soaked minds is a form of in
sanity that the drinker invites
when he gets "tankcd " and al
though he may be unaware of
what he has done until later he
cannot be excused on that count
because he deliberately invited
the condition by drinking.
The drunk may not know
what he does but he made him
self that way knowingly.
1t is really very simple to
avoid situations where ones
temper may flare up and burn
enc up. The process is nothing
more than laying off liquor and
avo1iing bad company regard
less of everything. And having
no use for weapons.
All men and all races are on
an equal footing when it comes

on a wholesale scale by the
leaders of the Democratic party
who have sworn to support the
Constitution of these United
States and all of its Amend
ments is a scandal which has
persisted for many year, pro-
.viding large congressional re-
presentation TO the South, bas-
ed ON our numerical population,
while thwarting our every effort
to participate inthc functions of
government. A third term adj
ministration will tighten these
political shackles.
Economically, also, we are
bound by shackles which have
reduced the great masses of our
race to levels Of subsistence
far below that of our fellow
citizens. Many of the colorcd
citizens have be forced out of
which has been
taken by whites. They are job
less and discouraged and i'm
despair. For years and years,
regular employment has been
denied them and even relief has
been granted they have suffer
ed determinations of the most
humiliating character.
More and more employment in
industry has been closed to
them and only fugitive, unskill-
ed labor opportunities granted.
They are compelled to work at
the lowest wages under con-
ditions unbelievably harsh and
discouraging.
These are some of the things
that the Negro group is face to
face with as we approach the
Presidential campaign of 1910.
The indispensable" man, the
present occupant of the White
House, has dismalIy failed to
change these conditions. The
of time has brought us
face to face with an opportunity
TO get rid of these conditions,
that once more the sunlight of
prosperity may shine in our
country, and its destiny assur-

processes Of our American way
