NEWS in THE WORLD OF
RELIGION
BY w. w. Reid


Judson College, the leading educa-
tional institution of the Northern
Baptist Convention (Anerican) i'm
Burma, boasts of three of its alumni
in the present cabinet of the Burma
Government. They are: U Ba Yin,
Minister of Education; u Ba Than,
Minister of Commerce and Industry;
and Saw Pc Tha, Judicial Minister.
Two other members of the cabinet,
Sir Paw Tun and U Ba Thi, have
children who are now students at
Judson College.
ITO ease social tensions and ra-
cial conflicts within our own bord-
ers Is the most significant contri
button that can be made to Amer
lean democracy today, is the opin-
ion of DR.. Mark A. Dawber, execu-
tive secretary of the Home Missions
Council of North America. He be-
lieves that minority groups, such as
the American Indians, should be in
cluded as an integral part of the
whole life of America. "A greater
share of the nations wealth should
be passed on to the Indians, not by
dole or by patronage, but by giving
them their rightful place as Amer
lean citizens" he says.
The Riverside Church, New York
City, of which DR.. Harry Emerson
Fosdick is minister, is taking the
lead in a movement to provide pen
sions and other old age securities
for the non-mmisterial members of
it's staff. In most denominations
there is provision for pensions for
ministers, but none for sections, or
ganists, secretaries and other lay as
sistants. Because the churches want
to continue to be free to express
their mind upon questions of in
dustry and capitalism when they
feel something should be said upon
these questions, some leaders feel
that this beam in the church's own
eye" must be cared for. Riverside
Church is raising fund of $780,
| 900 to provide pensions for it's own
lay employees. Other churches are
giving this matter attention.
There has just come from the
press of the United Lutheran Church
the first edition of the New Testa-
ment ever to be printed in Yiddish
i'm the. United States. Heretofore the
only Hebrew and Yiddish New Test
aments were printed in Germany
and in London. The former source is
entirely closed, and the latter is
closed because an air raid destroyed
the stereotyped page plates of the
old translation. This new edition is
also new translation made over a
period of years by the Rev. DR.. Hen
ry Einspruch of Baltimore, Mary
land, director of the mission work
carried on by the Lutherans among
the Jewish people. The first edition
is of $4,000 copies--and was sold
out before it was off the press.

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
Dec. 29 CBy Airmail to NANAl.-
Believe half the fifth column sto-
ries along this new outer defense
line to the Panama Canal and you
start looking for a saboteur in every
palm tree. a
Here at this dangerous break in
that defense line the spy rumor crop
Is particularly lush. Some of these
stories probably are fantastic. For
some of the others there may be a
strong basis Of fact.
Most American military authori-
ties agree that the highly efficient
Nazl espionage system must have
its on-the- ground check here on
Vichy orders and how they are be-
Ing carried out. Many authorities
are certain there is a hide-out Ger
man radio transmitter on this island
For months there was no inCom-
Ing or outgoing mail here. The Brit

the collapse of France the cable
from Martinique to ST Thomas was
cut. It was repaired only recently.
Yet during that time news from
here, definitely not sent out by
Radio Martinique appeared in Eu-
rope, and promptly.
Hiding a portable radio transmit
ter would be no problem here. Regi-
ments of soldiers could be hidden
in these wild mountains and val
leys. There is deep water close
ashore around most of Martinique,
and for generations smuggling has
been a major industry on this and
nearby islands.
Many Suspicious Characters.

demands for assurances that the
Berlin hand has not been extended

are no Germans or Italians here
This is only half true. We have seen
no Italians, but there are some
Germans here. Whether some of
them are anti-Hitler. as they pre-
tend to be, or whether they are pro-
Hitler. a town gossip says at least
one of them is, is a matter for
speculation.
There are at least three Germans,
and several other men whose status
Is so vague they could be anything,

port. For some of the occupants
of this camp it is a concentration
