CRISIS:
Var ahead?

Since Japan joined the Fascist
Axis, attacks on America and Amer
leans by the goverrnment-control
Tokyo press have been exceeded
only by the belligerent mouthings
OF the Mussolini-controlled newspa-
pers of Italy.
When Japan signed the treaty Of
Berlin, Washington was inclined at
first to make little of it, even though
1t was openly stated to be aimed at
the United States because of aid
given to Britain. But Japan did not
take it as lightly. Prince Fumi-
marc Konoye, Japanese premier,
said openly that if the United States
persists in "challenging'' the Axis
powers, a war will follow. Later
there was an official statement that
II England opened the Burma road,
lone gateway to China for NUM-
tons, Japan would declare war.
Many in Washington now believe
that a clash with Japan is bound to
come sooner or later and that it
might as well be sooner, because if
Britain should fall, the United States
would be faced with aggressors on
both oceans at the same time.
elimination was a state depart
ment order to all Americans in the
Near East to return home. Britain
will open the Burma road October
II.
And in Shanghai, Japanese off,
Gals had another problem to worry
them. For despite heavy military
guard placed around Flu Siao-en,
their puppet ruler of that Chinese
city, he was slashed to death by
some unknown assailant.
Enraged Japanese authorities de-
clared that the assaseinatinn was nm
INSIDE job" Shanghai police re.
ported that they had been asked by
the japanese to aid in a search for
the slain mans personal servant,
one Zung Tsu-en, who was absent
from his masters house after the
killing.
Price of Peace
Several unofficial offers have been
made to the United States. All aim
at involving this nation with Japan
or SO gripping u. S. armed forces
so as to make the nation ineffective.
The head Of the Japanese press as
sociation suggested the United
States show its good will by aban-
doning the naval base at Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaii; withdraw from Guam
and Midway islands.
In Rome, Mussolini's newspaper
held out another scheme. In polite
terms it suggested that If America
would stop giving help to England,
the Axis powers would reward
America by giving her Canada.
Object is, of course, to 50 involve
the U. S. that it viii stop sending
supplies to Britain.

Gov. Long Summons
Special Session Of
Legislature
Makes No Mention in
Call Of Dispute
Over Stute Post .
By the Associated Press.

4y the Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE, La, March L.
Gov. Earle K. Long called the
Louisiana Legislature to meet in
special session at 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon.
The Governor, in a telegram to
all members, said:
1--WE must finance social security.
the hot lunch (schooD program and
the building of the tuberculosis hos
pital which has been started.
Il urge that as an elected rep
resentative of the people it is your
duty to attend"
The Governors action followed
reports he was considering calling
the special session to solidify his
claim to the Office of Secretary of
State in the new administration to
be headed by Gov. Designated Sam
H. Jones.
Gov. Long made no mention of
this, however, in his legislative call.
When the newly-nominated and
incumbent Secretary of State E. A.
Conway died February ~, Gov.
Long had himself nominated by the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee to the post. Mr.. Jones rejected
the action.
Gov. Long in a bitter 1000 word
review of his campaign and defeat
last night asserted Federal prose-
cutors had shattered every prece-
dent" by the manner in which they
conducted their investigation of
Louisiana scandals"
Just one week or 10 days before
the election" Gov. Long said, "for
the psychological effect, it would
seem, Federal Investigators re-
turned from Washington and made
headlines again to scare, stampede,
intimidate and harass the citizens
of this State"
He referred indirectly to the re-
lease by o. John Rogge, Assistant
United States Attorney General in
charge of the Louisiana inquiries,
Of statement concerning the oil
dealings of Mayor Robert S..
Maestri, New Orleans political boss
and hacker of Gov. Long. The re-
port said no Federal law violations
were involved, but that State stat
utes covered the alleged actions.
Every precedent in Federal pros
ecution has been violated he said.
Is" After they Federal mem
can do no more good, or harm,
they return to Washington and take
credit for the Jones victory"
That the Federal Government
had a right to come into a local
State primary or against any one
group of candidates was never
heard of in any State in the Union
before this time"
Mr.. Rogge, on his return to WASH
ington Monday, said the Justice De-
partment helped to give the State
back to the people"

trial %a-winding into the land of their
Dreams" Surely in those days there
was distress enough. By such things
and by the reaction of the nations
to such things the nations OF the
world should have been re-made;
re-made for the better. Their hearts
should have been softened. T h e y
should have sought God; should
have returned to God. In the Ella
ton and rapture of Armistice Day,
a little over twenty years ago, we
actually thought this would come to
pass. We thought peace and right
the world. Alas, what a disillusion-
eousness would reign throughout
mcnt has come and what a picture
we now behold. Distress softens or
hardens. We would not be soften
ed as God intended. So we have
come to a reign of w%ickedness the
like of which has never before
been known. In their distress the
nations have trespassed yet more.
When distress hardens the heart
and leads to trespass, little hope is
left. Every trial, every affliction,
cident in your life, has been is and
will be a test intended by God to
soften and sweeten your life, wheth-
er it came by the direct exercise of
His will OF was; the, result of the
material and human conditions un-
der which we live and was allowed
by Gods permissive Providence.
Alas, how slow many of us r to
respond as we should to distress. So
many of us, like Ahaz, trespass yet
more and more. When we do there
is little hope.
We have no record that AhaZ
ever reformed. that he was ever sof-
tened, that he ever sought God. His
light went out in darkness; his life
was a curse; his body went to de-
cay; his influence SO far as it liv-
ed went on rotting the lives of
men; his name is preserved in the
sacred record only as a warning
against wickedness and it's sure re-
ward.
How are you responding to your
distress? My dear friends, / beg of
lines, come closer to God and His
you, one and all may read these
service if you have found Him and
know Him, or come to Him for sal,
walton and life if you have not al
ready so done. Do not grow hard
and callous through trial and dis
tress. Let your heart melt, your
eyes flow like fountains of living
water. Come to God; come to the
Lord Jesus Christ and come now.
l am not speaking to fill space but
to bring each and all a heart mes
sage. The Lord help us and save
us for Christ's sake.
