IN THE NAME OF RELIeloN

We are familiar with good souls who
are so busy trying to merit eternal lie IN
the future that they are utterly unable to
give any effort to the art of living IN the
world. with the people Of their age
These persons bestir themselves to con-
Wet somebody else Of sin and are. upon most
occasions. extremely suspicious Of every
body except themselves. They are never
happier than when eondemning people for
their wrongdoing. unless # be when they at
tempt to stir up sentiment against the evil
ones.
The mystery to US Is where the folks
get the idea that they have any religion at
all They exhibit no sign Of wanting re be
helpful If they have any love fer fellow
humans, they conceal # within themselves
Most of these wretehes go through
life with a martyr complex. They usually
overexaggerate their own capacities and
importance. They destroy their usefulness
b. endless complaints. In the end they ac-
eomplish nothing but the creation of frie-
ton among people and they come to the end
disgruntled although delighted that they
will see few of their tormentors IN the
promised land
More mysterious than their behavior IS
the amazing pretension that they carry on
in the name of religion.

The city is enacting ordinances which

MR.. KURUsU's REPORT

There have been a few intimations that
something might result after al. from the
negotiations going on IN Washington be-
tween the United States and Japan.
Already. Secretary Hull has had two
conferences with the representatives of
Great Britain. China. the Netherlands and
other countries involved m the Far East.
The presumption IS that the conferences dis
eussed some propositions from Japan
The chance of success, however, IS too
slim to be bolstered much By rumor as to
the purpose Of these parleys. It is enough
to know that Tokyo talks Of .'immutable
policy and insists upon aggressively main
tanning the new order .
incidentally. one wise. observer says
that the real reason for the visit Of Sabnro
Kurusu was to see if the United States
would fight if japan went ahead With her
