GOLDEN XT-Righteousness exalt-
eth nation: but sin is reproach to
any people. 14;34.
Legal approval of the sale of alco-
holic beverages has largely taken
the matter out of the hands of the
home and the church and has made
liquor a civic problem. That OF
course, does not provide us with a
convenient excuse for evading our
personal responsibility, for the ma
ton is made up Of you and me, OF
your home and mine, of your church
and mine We must share the ma
tons responsibility gladly and &C.
lively if we are to be worthy Of our
citizenship. Especially is that true
of the Christian, for he sees the
spiritual and moral implications Of
the matter, and he also knows what
to do about it.
I. righteousness Exalteth q Ma
ton; but Sin Is a Reproach to Any
People" CDeut. 1929; 11:26-28.
That may sound bit old-fashioned
and it may appear that men have
abrogated that principle, but if we
wait bit we shall see that it still
works.
l. Righteousness Brings Blessing
(Deut. 5:32, 33; 1925, 2D. In this
callous and indifferent generation
we need to repeat with emphasis the
fact that there is laid down in the
very constitution of the universe a
moral distinction between right and
wrong. Right is always right and
wrong is always wrong.
The book of Deuteronomy presents
the fundamental laws of God. In
this fifth chapter there is a review
of many of these laws and practi-
cal appeal for obedience. It is point
ed out that the way Of liberty in the
walk of life is to turn neither to the
extreme of legal bondage nor to the
opposite extreme Of human license,
but to walk in all the ways which
The Lord your God hath commanded
you" Walking in His ways brings
all the blessings of Deuteronomy
5:33, q promise which is repeated
in 1927.
2. Unrighteousness Brings Judg-
ment Deut. 1923. Turning aside
from Gods ways must bring upon
nan His curse. It is no light mat
YER to be under Gods disapproval.
We who know how much the approv-
al or disapproval of frail human be-
ngs around US may mean, should
consider what it means in the life OF
q man (or of a nation) to have the
eternal, omnipresent and omnipo-
tent God against him.
Then what about a people which
countenances the manufactur and
the sale of intoxicants, which they
well know bring about wickedness
and vice which can only call for the
Judgment Of God. Many believe that
the great war in which the world is
embroiled is simply Gods judgment
upon the nations (including England
and America) because they have
turned aside from His holy ways
That means that the most effective
way to stop the conflict is national
penitence and prayer Why not be-
lieve and practice II Chronicles

announced officially tonight.
In Nairobi, Kenya Colony, the
East Africa headquarters report
ed that British forces entering
Diredawa had discovered the
Ethiopian city's italian inhabi-
tants being injured" by large
band of deserters from the re-
treating Italian colonial army.
The British entered Diredawa last
Saturday. The italians said they
had abandoned the city.
Advancing British troops, the COM

italian casualties.
Port Next Major Goal.
The report of Asmara's capitulation
came swiftly after the March rs
capture of Cheren, AZ miles to the
northwest, a mountain stronghold
which $4,000 italian defenders made
a major obstacle in the British
path.
Only Massaua, on the Red Sea,
Eritrea's sole good port, remains now
as a major goal of the British in
their sweep across the East African
colony from the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan frontier toward the sea.
The city of Asmara had been in
italian hands since 1889 and had
come to resemble city of Southern
Italy-even to sidewalk cafes. 1t
became the Eritrean capital in 1900,
when the seat of government was
transferred from Massaua, 40 miles
to the northeast.
OF Asmara's last recorded popu-
iation of approximately $4,000 per-
sons, more than $4,000 were Italians

ians in the entire colony.

1t was linked by rail with Cheren

President Reveals
Amount of Aid in
Addition to Transfers
By JOHN C. HENRY.

President Roosevelt disclosed
to a press conference late today
that about $1,08O,OOO,O0O in or
ders for war supplies to nations
fighting the axis have been
placed under the lease-lend pro-
gram.
This figure, he explained, is en-
tirely for materiel yet to be manu-
factured and is marked for delivery
at a future date. Included, he said,
is equipment for army, navy and
air forces. plus agricultural and mis-
cellaneous supplies.
This ALLEGATION of aid is in addi-
ton to what is already being sent
under a provision of the lease-lend
law authorizing transfer of exist
ing equipment up to a value Of
81, 300 ,000,000 Mr.. Roosevelt said he
hoped to have by Friday some sta
tistics on how much in this latter
category already has been allocated
to other nations.
Nations Not Disclosed.
The President declined today to
indentify in detail lease-lend orders
! or to disclose to what nations they
have been allotted. In response to
persistent questioning on the latter
point, he said several times that
more than one country will share in
this first consignment of new ma
teriel.
Although all of this newly ordered
| equipment comes under the lease
lend program and is at the moment
definitely marked for shipment to
one or more of the nations resisting
the axis powers, the President said
that it could be retained for Ameri-
can use if circumstances warrant.
Asked when this first order OF new
supplies might start abroad, the
President would reply only that 1t
would be within the next couple Of
years.
To questions about whether the
Government is contemplating con-
voyine or otherwise insuring de-
livery of supplies in Europe, Mr..
Roosevelt said it is matter which
has been given consideration for the
last 1e months, and is still under
consideration.
Four Departments Involved.
Referring to a summary OF orders
placed under the $1,000 ,000, 900
lease-lend program, the President
said that this initial portion falls
under jurisdiction of the War, Navy,
Treasury and Agriculture Depart
ments. The appropriation bill to
finance the lease-lend program di-
vided the fund into five categories,
as follows:
Army and Navy ordnance, avia-
ton materiel, automotive and
mechanical equipment, agricultural
products and miscellaneous supplies.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his conference
that he had no news this after
noon on the controversy over the
posting of Coast Guardsmen on Ger
man, italian and Danish owned
ships. Thus far, he said, his only
information has been a telephone
report on the Treasury Department
action as relayed to him by Attor-
ney General Jackson.
