AME. CHURCH
GETS POSSES
SION OF ITS
PUBL. HOUSE
DISMISS RECEIVER FOR
QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR
CONCERN

NASHVILLE, Aug. 3 CAMP -
The AME. church won its five
year battle for possession Of its
unday school Publishing house
here Tuesday when Judge Z. FL
mer E. Davies Of the Middle Tenn
essee federal court dismissed the
receiver who had been operating
the plant.
The reign of Ira 7. Bryant, who
had served as secretary-treasurer
Of the Sunday School union for 20
years during which time he built
the Institution into a thriving con-
Germ and won a substantial fin
ancial position for himself, closed
as the receiver handed the proper
ty over to a committee composed
Of Bishop Henry Y. Tookes of
Florida, William Fountain Of Geor
gia and DIR. A. L, Pinkston of
Nashville Who acted for the church
While the actual court struggle
for possession Of the Sunday
School union has been in progress
for about five years, the trouble
which r~evolved about the institu-
ton has been of much longer dur
alton. Bryant was first elected
secretary-treasurer in 1908 when
the general conference met in Nor
folk, Va. An able business man,
he quickly developed the publish
ing house into a profitable vent
ure. Backed by John M. Avery,
one of the most influential lay
men the church has produced, Bry-
ant grew in power. Rallying a
group of laymen he fought certain
concentration of authority in the
hands Of the clery. Bryant be-
came a bitter critic of cant and
hypocrisy in high places and used
the machinery Of the church pub
fishing house to attack and smear
ministers an bishops who Incurred
his wrath. The clerics writhcd
under the Bryant assaults and fin
ally in 1886 defeated him electing
E. A. Selby in his place.
Bryant refused to recognize the
election contending that only The
self perpetuating board of direct
ors which functioned under Tenn
essee law had the power to name
the secretary treasurer of the un-
ion which was a Tennessee corpor-
alton. Court battles up to the u.
S. Court of Appeals followed. In
one hearing the court found that
Bryant's personal funds had be-
come SO intermingled with the
church property that it was diff
ficult to discover which was which.
A receiver was then appointed and
tie decision Tuesday closes the case
unless Mr.. Bryant appeals again.
The church sought to prevent
Sunday schools and church organ
izations with tie AME. from buy
ing their literature from Bryant
unsuccessfully in many instances

Stubborness Is Not Patriotism

Stubborn insisence upon isolation after the nation
has taken another policy, in the face of positive
from foreign nations, only the division of
public opinion in this country, which lends aid and
comfort to the potential enemies of the republic.
Assuming that the people of the United States
have been divided between isolation and Intervention,
in force through the easeend and the PATROL
the only danger of disunity springs from those who
favored isolation. They must decide whether to sup
port their country not To continue the effort to
divide the nation, to hamper defense and
thus create the impression abroad that the United
States is incapable of concerted action encourage
aggression against us, invite disregard for rights
and contempt for nation This will hasten the
that most of would like to avoid.
Hitler, it is reported, boasts that when the time
comes to "take America" he will not need invading
army because it will be inside job" He counts
dsunity in this country. In short, he banks upon
the stubborn refusal of isoatonists to support their
governments foreign policies. Because he relies
upon this division of public opinion in the United
States the German Fuehrer does not believe that mil
lions of people in democratic government will ever
have enough accept the defeat of their favored
policy, when they have lost their fight legally and
constitutionally
Hitler is confident that the United States will not
unite upon any effective policy that will hamper his
scheme for world control He doubts that the people
of this republic will face until attacked and he
knows that when he makes his attack the United
States will be completely isolated from the entire
world, because he will dominate that world.

First Plastic Automobile

The first plastic automobile has been exhibited to
the public, representing the result of twelve years
research by group of young scientists, ordered to
find methods of using agricultural products in indus
cry"
Mounted on a tubular-welded steel frame the car
has superstructure made of plastic, said to be
superior to steel in everything but tensile strength
The plastic body costing than one of metal,
weighs nearly 1000 pounds, while steel unit of
parable size weighs about 5000 pounds. Mr.. Ford is
confident that plastic bodies be produced by prac
tcal, and economical means, with some savings as
result of fewer fabrcating finishing operations
!, The plabilty Of the plastic panel tested by
the auto maker who hit it with an axe. The plastic
panel was unchanged after blow, but similar
experiment with steel panel cut through the metal
Robert Boyer, young research chemist, who started
the research which led to the plastic car said that
million automobiles with plastic bodies would
100000 bales of cotton, 100000 bushels of wheat
100000 bushels of soybeans and 100000 bushels of
corn.
1t may be long road from the production of this
first plastic car and the of vast quantities of
agricultural products in industry and would scarcely
advise any farmer to increase acreage to provide the
raw materials but nevertheless there is a possibility
that the day will come when market will be
opened to farmers.

IT only in terms OF feeding her

problem she must face with her
farm SURPRISES after the war.
I'VE shall be eating less American
potatoes next spring." said Cana
dian official to me. 1--WE shall go
without green peas at Christmas
time, but it won't be because we
can't get them. 1t will be because
we save oar American dollars to
pay for war supplies from the Unit
ed States"
Canada is building new granaries
to store the wheat with which the
barns are bursting. Wheat is stored
in church cellars and in every avail
able corner. This growing surplus
is a greater threat to the balanced
economy of the nation than the dis
location of social and industrial life
caused by the war.
But what is to happen with that
grain and the other raw materials
when the war is over and starving
Europe has no money to pay for
them? 1t is exactly the same ques-
ton our own farmers face.
Well, here is the answer which is
being given serious consideration by
Canadian economists and its inspi-
ration comes neither from the theo-
ries of conservative capitalists nor
from those who like to toy with the
teachings of Karl Marx. 1t comes
from the twelfth chapter of st.
Paul's Epistle to the Romans. This
is the passage:
Vengeance is mine; l will repay.
saith the Lord. Therefore if thine
enemy hunger, feed him; il ne
thirst, give him drink; for in so do
ing thou shalt heap Goals Of fire on
his head"
This is the text of plain talk
by Gilbert jackson. which has
caused considerable comment by Of
hcials and others who are able to
look ahead at the problems Of peace
to come. Mr. jackson has a very
practical reason for making this ad-
monition Of st. Paul the basis for a
policy which he urges be carried out
after the war. He proposes a plan
to give a very great part Of Can

q. Did you know that you will soon
be able to buy defense savings
stamps at your nearest retail store?
q If the old steel rails on your main
street which are no longer in use
are being dug up. the chances are
that the government needs the steel

there are 232, 200 tons of abandoned

whether those 400 millions will ever

'The most surprising thing, Of
course, is real egg for breakfast"
The speaker was an Englishman
who had just arrived from London
and had flown from Nova Scotia to
Ottawa, Canada. We were sitting
in the Rideau club in Ottawa, the
third war-capital which I have visit
ed since 1899.
AS I watched my English ac-
quaintance enjoying his Canadian
salmon and deep dish pie, I real
lied how bad the food situation in
England must be. In this column
I have been writing about the mil
lions Of eggs which have been
shipped across the Atlantic under
the Lend-Lease law and the millions
of dollars worth of cheese and ba-
con and fruits which have been pur-
chased for the purpose Of supplying
the British Isles with American
farm products.
''The people in England are worse
off now. as far as food goes, than
at any time during the World war;"
said the Englishman. land I'm not
too young to remember how bad
that was"
1t must have seemed strange to
him to be sitting there in the capital
of nation at war and enjoying
everything a generous table can Of
fer There is of course, no lack
of food for Britain. There is only
lack Of ships.
I myself found it difficult to get
the war feel in Canada's capital.
There are plenty Of uniforms. This
city of Ottawa, like Washington, has
greatly increased in population; new
temporary buildings have sprung up
and others are in the process Of
construction. Even the beautiful
new Supreme Court building is hous-
ing offices Of the director Of infor-
nation and other war-torn bureaus;
painted signs are pasted on the
marble walls and messenger boys
and stenographers hurry along the
corridors where the stately justices
are wont to tread. In Washington
we haven't quite come to that yet.
Same Ghosts Present
And in these crowded government
buildings the same ghosts walk
which haunt our own capital. Like

Wars Effect
On Average Canadian

How is the average Canadian feel
ing the war today?
Most intimately, of course, when
the picture of a young fellow APP
pears in the paper, reported by the
war ministry as killed or missing.
Canada has more than a thousand
such casualties as reported up to
July /. She has raised five divisions
for overseas service. A sixth will
be raised. Ninety thousand men are
now overseas; 100000 are on active
service elsewhere.
Coal, gas. certain food products
such as pork and cheese which
will be used for export will probably
be rationed soon. AS early as last
fall, aluminium went out Of civilian
use. There is an per cent sales
tax on a large range Of manufac-
tured products. It is an invisible
wholesale tax and so isn't so notice.
able.
Canada feels that the real pinch
is in the pocketbook. A married
Canadian with no dependents pays
SIS on an income of $1,000 year;
the $5,000-a-year man pays $1,000
income tax. The $4,000 income
pays 5000. Higher brackets turn
over more than so per cent to the
government.
To the average American, the gen.
eral assumption is that Canada is
virtually all English; they naturally
consider themselves more or less q
part of the British Isles. Are they?
OF the liz millions Of the popula-
ton of the Dominion Of Canada,
less than half are Of English, Scotch,
Welsh, or Irish descent. Three and
a half millions are French-speaking
The rest are from most of the races
