Coins in Employment

In statistics recently made public
by the Department of Labor. addi-
tional evidence Is at hand that the
defense program, In the words OF
Secretary Perkins, is breaking the
back" of unemployment in the United
States. Excluding increases in the
armed forces, non-agricultural en-
ployment increased in October by
more than $50, 900, to reach the high
est level for that month-approxi-
mately $1,000, ,000-since 1929. En-
ployment in non-agricultural indus
tries has increased by 1,15o,000 since
October, 1899. Manufacturing has
accounted for the larger part of the
gain during the twelve-month period.
In many Of the war material indus
tries employment attained new high
levels in October.
Despite these impressive gains in
private employment, $4,000 persons
were added to the w. p. A. rolls in
October. In appearing before Con-
gressional committees earlier this
year, w. P. A. officials predicted an
expansion in the Federal relief rolls
during the autumn months. That,
however, was before rearmament
reached its present scope. With in-
dustrial employment rapidly expand
ing, it would seem logical to look
for a decrease rather than an in
crease in the number of persons
working on w. P. A. projects.
Current increases in employment
should make possible reduction in
expenditures for Federal relief. AS
the preparedness program moves into
high gear, there is every reason to
expect further gains in industrial
employment. A reduction in relief
expenditures and in the appropri-
ations for non-defense activities Of
the Federal Government therefore
is clearly one Of the first duties OF
the new Congress.

Dr.. Darby

II the retirement of the Reverend
Doctor william Lambert Darby from
his post of duty as executive secre-
tary OF the Washington Federation
Of Churches really meant his disap-
pearance from the vineyard Of the
Lord, there would be reason to re-
gret the change which now is being
effected. But at sixty-flve he still
is much too young to abandon the
cause Of Christian progress to which
he has devoted his talents and the
experience Of long, an active and
an abundantly useful career. He will
continue to serve, II only in q volun-
teer capacity. Any other decision
would be impossible for him to con-
template. He could not rest, even II
he were ordered so to do.
The character of his endeavors,
however. may be altered in the time
that lies ahead. DR.. Darby is pos
sessed of matured and cultivated
wisdom which would be invaluable
to any religious movement. For
eighteen years he has been the leader
OF the day-to-day effort of the Fed
Grafton. The churches belonging
within its fold will need the advice
which no other shepherd is better
qualified to give. 1t therefore may be
expected that, without the formal
title, he may be secretary emeritus
in the proper meaning Of that phrase.
Never before has there been a more
compelling demand for the rare tact,
good judgment and good taste" the
craftsmanship and the diplomacy
which DR.. Darby has at his command.
His courage also is wanted in a period
OF worldwide turmoil. For the work
he has done and for that which
providentially he yet may be spared
to complete, the thanks of his city
and his country are due. Washing
ton is proud of him. The United
States owes him a debt of gratitude
both for his labors in the Capital and
in the farther field.

Christmas Clubs Boom

Distribution in the next few days
OF $5,500,000 to 10000 members OF
Christmas savings clubs in nineteen
banks in the National Capital brings
to light an exceptional thrift situa-
ton here when contraSted with the
rest of the country. The average pay
ment per member elsewhere in the
United States will be $48.50, while
in Washington the average stands
at $88.16. While the washington
figure is nearly double that of other
cities and towns, it does not neces-
sarily prove that the District Of
Columbia is the most thrifty corner
of the United States. Such claim
could be based only on information
regarding the average incomes OF
people in other places where Christ
mas clubs are maintained. However,
the will to save, at least for holiday
needs, is very evident and conclusive.
Christmas clubs in Washington
were among the first started in the
United States about twenty years ago.
They have shown amazing growth in
members and amounts subscribed
each year. The greater portion Of
the funds goes into Yuletide shop
ping. Yet liberal amounts also are
placed in permanent savings, indi-
eating that time-honored ideas on
the Importance of thrift have not
been forgotten, even in these days
of low interest rates.

Some years ago journalist, man
accustomed to dealing with the stern
facts Of life, . student and interpreter
of events, turned from his everyday
practice of appraising men and things
to study more intimately the person Of
Jesus Christ. He was convinced that,
apart from oil the estimates of Him that
had been written there was need Of re-
studying His personality and His teach
ing in the light of present world events.
He took for his particular study 'The
Mind of Jesus" and under this title he
wrote an engaging book. He said in his
preface: in much of what has been
written, little has been satS Of Jesus a.
an intellectual force. Writers and teach
ers have concerned themselves mostly
with His character, His teaching and
doctrines, His works and the events Of
His life"
The journalist set himself the task Of
attempting to interpret the mind Of
Jesus as manifested in His attitude
toward man and mans general life,
to give picture of that mind and its
method Of working" In his thoughtful
book Louis Rowland reverently at
tempted to show the incompatible quail
ity of the mind Of Jesus, its amazing
capacity to interpret life in all its COM
plexities and under all conditions, and
the timelessness of His teaching. 1--WE
must think of Him." he wrote, mot as
one who did His work 1000 years ago,
but as an active force In human affairs,
still operating" and adds: I'm the days
which many Of us will not see Chris
tianity will be vital force, working sal
vation in the lives of men and nations" !"
In days of such confused thinking as
the present, and in time when mems
hearts are failing them for fear" the
thoughtful reflections of this journalist
are reassuring. That he should turn
from the pressing concerns Of . dis
tracted world to study again the serene
mind Of the Master and that he should
find In his study the warrants Of his
faith in the supreme place Jesus occu-
pies as the worlds mightiest teacher, the
true Guide who alone can lead it to ways
Of satisfying. peaceful living, and ulti-
mately save it from its weaknesses and
follies, is deeply significant.

Capital SideIights
By Win P. Kennedy.

Harvard influence will continue to be
felt in the incoming Congress. The
Cambridge district. home of culture and
erudition, has discontinued the service of
one distinguished Harvard alumnus and
is sending another. Representative
Robert Luce, a veteran In Congress, steps
out, leaving a monument-an interna-
tionally authoritative work on The
Science of Legislation" in four large
volumes, comprising q million words In
100 chapters, representing % years Of
actual work, with II years Of personal
legislative experience and the study Of
lifetime of 78 years. There is not q single
dictated word in that monument Of four
volumes-Legislative Procedure, Legisia-
tive Assemblies, Legislative Principles
and Legislative Problems. Each one Of
the million words was pounded out by
Mr.. Luce's own fingers on his own old
typewriter. They will be of worldwide
service to mankind long after he is gone.
To take the seat of this scholar, comes
another Harvard-steeped man who has
already set up living monument as CO.
author of the Social Security law and
director of the New England region of
the Wages and Hours Division-before
he was SO years of age. Young Tom"

body by pulling an oar for the Harvard
varsity. He says he won his way to
Congress by pulling door-bells (assisted
by his pretty wife). When he came to
Washington seven years ago dresh from
Harvard Law SCHOOL, as one of Frank
furter's boys" to help build up the New
Deal and become Daddy of Social Sc
curity," he kept his waistline down by
captaining his office softbal1 team. One
Of his biggest jobs was to compose the
briefs which convinced the Supreme
Court that the Social Security law he
had written did not outrage the Consti-
tuition. Incidentally, he proved that
youth can forge ahead in the Federal
service by advancing like an explosion
from $1,700-a-year clerkship In the
solicitors ofice Of the Labor Department
to 5000 as general counsel Of the Social
Security Board. One of his recent pro-
nouncements is: freedom to starve is
not part of the Bill of Rights" Young
Tom has been called "erudite as his
granddads 5-foot shelf" He promises
in the incoming Congress to propose
special amendments to make social Sc
curity, collective bargaining and wages
and hours laws "sounder and simpler"

REFLECTIONS OF A JOURNALIST
the Right Reu james E. Freeman d. LID, D. c. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

We believe it to be true that the ma
jestic figure Of the Man of Nazareth Is
challenging today, more than 1t has for
generations, the serious and reverent
consideration Of thoughtful men and
women. The best of the worlds teach
ers and philosophers, its statesmen and
moralists have failed 1t In times Of crisis.
Men can get along in days Of piping
peace with their economists, their mate
rialists, their creators of fascinating
schemes and finely designed institutions.
Under such conditions the claims Of
Jesus appeared to be superseded by hui
man ingenuity and skill. The appeal Of
the physical transcends the appeal of
mans deeper, nobler nature. 1t was to
such that Jesus said: what shall 1t
profit man If he gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?" Again He'asked:
"What shall man give in exchange for
his soul?"
A friend of mine who has occupied
high places in the gift Of his government
said to me recently: II am giving much
of my time these days to an exhaustive
study Of the Christian religion. find
myself compelled to do so and I am
gaining great profit and peace of mind
from it," Men may have nebulous
faith and an unsatisfying one under nor
NAL conditions, but once they feel that
new uncertainties and perils are at hand
they turn again with freshened zest to
the one life that has resisted and with
stood all the mutations and disasters of
time. The sheer modernness Of Jesus,
the adaptability of His teachings to
every age and to every condition, is in
itself miracle. Stern Carlyle affirmed
concerning the teaching of Jesus: High
er has human thought not reached"
One of the most hopeful signs in the
present world distemper and disorder Is
the return to religion, the fuller recog-
milton of mans incapacity to extricate
himself from the complexities and dire
circumstances Of a war-mad world. The
study Of the mind Of Jesus has never
been more urgent than it is today. Out
Of this study and out Of a fresh recogni-
ton of His plan of saving an apostate
world must issue a new and better
world. world in which righteousness
shall be the rule Of men and nations.

A Help to Britoin

Because sales Of her merchandise
In this country are of vital impor-
tance in sustaining Britain's war
effort, Congress should quickly ap-
prove the bill introduced in the
House this week by Representative
Thomas H. Cullen of New York to
eliminate the new British purchase
tax in computing the dutiable value
of goods imported from the United
Kingdom. To secure additional war
revenue, and increase exports, the
British government recently imposed
\ heavy purchase, or sales tax, on a
large number of luxury, or semi
luxury goods. Exports from the
United Kingdom were specifically
exempted from this tax.
The Treasury has ruled that the
purchase tax, under section 402 Of
the Tariff Act, must be included in
determining the dutiable value Of
imports from Britain. The effect Of
this ruling is to increase, by from one
sixth to One-third, the tarin duties
on many imports from the United
Kingdom. With the upping Of these
duties, Britain will find it difncult to
maintain her sales here at their pres
ent level, and on some goods, may
face the loss of her American market.
To purchase war munitions and
materials in the United States, Brit
ain needs dollar exchange. Exports
to this country help to provide this
exchange. Since the defeat Of Britain
by the axis would present grave perils
to the United States, it is important
that Britain continue to sell her
goods here, and that there be no In
terruption in the now Of munitions
across the Atlantic.
In view Of the Treasury ruling, re-
moval Of the present penalty on
British exports will require congress
sional action. Representative Cullen
Is to be commended for taking the
first step toward its removal by in
PRODUCING a bill to exclude the pur-

violators to the detriment Of all COM
munities involved.
In this particular case the defend
ant had the support Of member OF
Congress in whose home district her
family Is politically activeA But the
practice of granting probation to
offenders with petty criminal records
Is by no means confined to those who
have such highly-placed advocates.
On the contrary. it is not at all un-
common in the Police Court, and the
judges of that tribunal are under an
obligation to themselves and to the
public to correct condition which
clearly tends to impair respect for
the judicial processes.
Evening star., 1940-12-01
Probation for Reporters

The controversy which has de-
veloped In the Police Court as the
outgrowth OF decision by one judge
to grant probation to woman shop
litter with a long criminal record
upon condition that she leave the
District serves to direct attention to
a fundamental question involved in
this exercise of judicial leniency.
In the statute authorizing the
granting OF probation, it is provided
that this action shall be taken only
In certain types of cases, including
shoplifting, where it appears to the
satisfaction of the judge that the
ends of justice as we'll as the best
interests of the defendant and OF
society would be served thereby.
This language, of course, vests
broad discretion in the sentencing
Judge, but in the great majority OF
cases the beneficiaries of the proba-
ton statute have been first offenders
persons who might reasonably be
expected to rehabilitate themselves
as good citizens if given new
chance instead Of being sent to
prison. Employed to that end, the
probation law serves a vital need in
our judicial establishment, but, by
the same token, the statute defeats
its own purpose when used to keep
t1abitual criminals at large.
In the case in question, the de-
fendant has a record Of several con-
victions extending back over
period of sixteen years. Obviously,
there is little prospect that she could
be converted into a law-abiding citi-
zen. Nor does 1t appear that the
ends Of justice or the best interests
OF society were served when she was
released without punishment for her
ofense.
OF course, the stipulation that she
leave the District, If complied with
in4the future, might be considered q
gain for the merchants of Washing
ton, but it merely has the effect OF
passing an undesirable person along
to some other community. A system
OF Justice which has no higher OBJ
jective than to get petty criminals
"out-of town" could soon result In a
more or less regular exchange Of law

this country's present objective. In
other words, Mr.. Roosevelt needs to de-
eide where he is to lead the country In
his third term and he needs to sell Con-
gress on the idea Of accepting the goal
he fixes.
If that goal is to be defeat for Hitler,
then the Army and Navy can make their
plans on that basis and the country can
get to work, using whatever incentives
and controls are necessary to industry to
fulfill those plans. II the goal Is to be
hemisphere defense alone, then plans
can be made accordingly and that effort
can be fitted into its place in this coun-
try's industrial machine. If the goal Is
to be protection of American interests.
both in this hemisphere and in the Far
East, then plans can be shaped on that
basis.
As it is now, the armament effort here
is somewhat haphazard and far from
streamlined. Industry is unaware of
what the long-range demands will be
and is holding back on plans for expan-
sion at some vital point. There is doubt
about the purpose for which the new
American Army is being equipped and
trained. A basic difficulty exists in the
relationship between the Defense Com
mission, which is supposed to fit industry
into . defense effort pattern. but lacks
any power to do so, and the Army and
Navy, which are supposed to be concen-
trating their thought on wavs to fight
when actually much Of their effort is
centered In doing what TIE Defense
Commission Is supposed to do.
Until Mr.. Roosevelt makes up his mind.
these coodicts VIII continue.
