Our Local Legislature

Tomorrow is District day in the
House and the important subject for
consideration is proposed amend
ment of the local income tax law.
The District Committee has re-
ported with its approval amendments
designed to remove, in part, the dis
criminatory provisions of the tax
which in effect exempt many persons
living and earning their salaries in
the District of Columbia while main
tanning a voting residence in the
States. The local income tax is
relied upon as major source Of
local revenue, and it should be
equitably applied. All persons living
here and enjoying the benefits of
the community services should par
ticipate in payment of the tax in
proportion to their incomes. The
amendments approved by the Dis
trict Committee are based on that
thought, and, while they do not 60
as far as they should, they are, in
themselves, fair enough.
In considering these amendments
it is to be hoped that the House will
act as branch of the Districts local
legislature, functioning in behalf of
the District over which Congress
exercises exclusive control. 1t is too
often the disposition of some men,
bers of the House to act purely in
the interests of their voting con-
stituentS back home-thuS leaving
the District without even tacit rep
resentation in the body which taxes
them and governs them. This
tendency has actuated some House
members to regard the local income
tax as a nuisance, foiSted on their
relatively few voting constituents
who live in Washington, rather than
as local revenue measure for which
Congress and Congress alone is re-
Sponsible.
Efforts by individual members of
the House to protect their own voting
constituents, instead of proceeding
as members of a local legislature
functioning for the votelesS people
Of the District, can only result, if
successful, in adding to rather than
removing the gross inequities of the
local income tax law.

LoqicuI Action

On the basis of the facts officially
made known, the United States &C
tion in asking Italy to close its con-
sulates at Newark and Detroit, and
to restrict movements of its consular
officers and agents elsewhere in this
country to their own districts, seems
designed as an appropriate act of
retaliation for Italy'S recent request
that we close our conSulates in Naples
and in Palermo, Sicily.
Equally legitimate is the request of
the State Department to be kept in
formed of the movements outside of
Washington of the military and ma
val personnel attached to the Italian
Embassy. That suggestion plainly
is the consequence of the Italian
governments late requirement that
American Ambassador Phillips and
his staff should notify the authori-
ties of their movements if they left
the Rome area.
While there is an element of the
unusual in the steps taken by the
two governments, they are not with
out ample international precedent.
Germany has not asked withdrawal
of United States consular officers in
the Reich, although it requested such
Withdrawals from Poland and
Czecho- -Slovakia, and Russia took
similar action in her part of Poland
and in the Baltic republics which
she absorbed. American Embassies
and Legations were withdrawn or
closed in other occupied countries,
but consulates are maintained in
Norway, Denmark, Belgium and the
Netherlands.
Just why Newark and Detroit were
singled out as the points at which
this country desires Italian consul
lates closed is not revealed. Both
cities are cepters OF vast defense in

THE REDIsCOVERY OF CHRIST
By the Rt James E. Freeman, d. d. Ii. d. D. c. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

en- Him, if such thing be possible for
it is the effort to understand that is
most important"
In this suggestive volume the editor
with reverent touch unfolds again the
deep meaning and significance Of the life
and teachings of Christ. He reaches
the conclusion that there are many
signs of renewed life in Christianity"
and that men long for leadership, and
more and more they are likely to turn
for it to Him who proclaims Himself
the way, the truth and the life" Too
much of our faith in and reverence for
Christ is expressed in our casual devo-
tions and our too little understood needs.
Reverenced as He is, He plays an in
our life. Much of the literature and
indeed much of the preaching of our
time, constitutes little more than intro
ductions to His sacred person. He still
stands outside the range of our thinking
and practice and through US, who be-
lieve in Him He affects lightly the
worlds judgments and habits. With fer
vored zeal one of His early followers,
namely Philip. approached his friend
Nathaniel, saying to him: I'VE have
found Him of whom Moses and the
prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth"
Nathaniel, doubtful of Philips zeal, cau-
tiously inquired: Can there any good
thing come out of Nazareth?" to which
Philip replied: Come and see" 1t was
in Nathaniel's cautious approach to the
Master that he discovered His great
ness and power, and exclaimed: Thou
art the Son Of God; thou art the King
of Israel" The experience constituted
the greatest event in the life of this
questioning man.
The world must have like experience
if it is to find any easement Of its pain,
any solution of its problems, any conf
dence concerning its future. He must
be brought back into our life, yes, into
every phase and aspect of our life. He
must claim something other than our
partial reverence, our cold and ever
changing loyalty. He must be taken out
of our restricted Creeds, our imperfect
and inadequate devotions; He must be
made real to men in this dark hour of
an anguished world
repeat, the rediscovery of Christ is
the worlds greatest need today.
Evening star., 1941-03-09

The rediscovery of Christ is the
worlds greatest need today. That the
world reVerences and pays high tribute
to Him, and that it re-echoes the words
of Carlyle, higher has human thought
not reached" is in the present emer-
gency quite insufficient and inadequate.
That He lifted .he gates of empires
from their hinges and turned the stream
of centuries from its course" is a glow
ing tribute to the greatness of His per-
son and teaching, but it does not meet
the need of today. Renan, in his Life
of Jesus" found in Him qualities never
before equaled or eXcelled, but when he
concluded his study he could not appro-
pirate Him or seek to emulate His
matchless example.
Much is being said and written today
about Christ and His teaching, but de-
spite this there. is little evidence in OUR
distracted world of readiness to recog-
nize His sovereign authority or to obey
His exalted teaching The minds of
men are desperately confused and the
ways of life are darkly shadowed. We
are discovering that all our planning has
signally failed to preserve our carefully
devised systems, or to insure to us the
security of our existing institutions.
The very eXigencies of the hour are COM
pelling us to think more deeply and seri-
ously of the way of life taught and ex-
empIihed by the Man of Nazareth. To
the most discerning of our age, the out
look is overcast and the promise of bet
ter days ahead seems wholly remote
1t is because of these conditions, that
are so obvious, that we venture again to
affirm that the rediscovery of Christ is
the worlds greatest need. A finely re-
Elective journalist, Louis Rowland, found
himself confused and embarrassed by
the surging problems that in the light of
present world events seemed insoluble.
Long reflection determined him to make
a fresh study of the life and teachings
Of Jesus Christ. In his preface to his
admirable book entitled. The Mind of
Jesus" he says: Not for years has there
been as keen and great an interest in
Jesus Christ and all that pertains to
His life and character as now. 1t mat
ters little that men, in their efforts to
understand Him and establish a living
contact with Him, have seemed to cheap

YuoosIuviu Waivers

For loyal YugoSlavS. these must be
days Of agOnizing suspense. Almost
completely encircled by the axis
powers and under increasing German
diplomatic pressure, the nations
leaders are striving desperately to
safeguard the threatened country's
independence and self-respect. A
prolonged conference of cabinet min
listers and army heads with the
Regent, Prince Paul, has been held
at the royal palace in Belgrade, but
if any decision has been reached it
is still a profound secret. Neither is
anything definitely known concern
ing the trip made last month by the
YugoSlav Premier and Foreign Min
lister to Adolf Hitler at BerChteSga-
den, nor about the recent mysterious
sOjOurn of Prince Paul in a royal
castle in Slovenia, near the German
border, where he is said to have
talked with high German and Italian
statesmen.
Theoretically, YugoSlavia has the
choice Of resistance, compromise or
surrender to axis pressure. But,
practically speaking, defiance of the
axis is most unlikely Successful re-
siStance to the German armed forces,
plus flank attacks from Italy, would
be possible only if the Yugoslavs were
assured of prompt British aid on a
large scale Such assistance Britain
is obviously not in a position to eX-
tend. Britain seemingly does not
have available the man power and
war materials to safeguard her pres
ent allies, Greece and Turkey, and
it follows that Yugoslavias chances
Of getting much of either are slim.
Therefore, YugoSIav leaders pre-
sumably will try to make the best
terms possible under very hard cir
cumStanCeS. The chances are that
German diplomacy will evolve
face-saving formula. Nazi Germany
can be ruthless enough on occasion,
but it is not to its present interest
to set the Balkans on fire. What
Germany wants is to freeze Britain
out of this entire area, if possible
without fighting, since the Balkans
are one of Germany's major sources
of food stuffs and raw materials.
The most probable outcome of the
present crisis would seem to be Yugo-
slavias relegation to position akin
to that of SWeden-technically inde-
pendent, but actually in the axis
orbit and practicing a policy of
neutrality advantageous to the axis
powers. How far such benevolence
might go is the chief consideration.
Germany undoubtedly would like to
use Vardar corridor for passage of
its troops and supplies in either
threat or an attack on Salonika.
That, however, would be stretching
benevolent neutrality to the breaking

overall policies of industry and agri-
culture.
If the markets in Britain and in Eu-
rope for American industrial and farm
products are to be lost permanently,
then the Government will have to find
some means of reorganizing agriculture
so that the 100000 people in the
South who live from the cotton indus
try and the other millions of people in
other areas who live on returns from
wheat growing and other forms of agri-
culture. will be able to shift their occu-
pations. There then will need to be
vast extension of the use of Government
credit to finance projects that will alb
sorb millions of city people who now
work to produce goods for export to
Britain and Europe.
The isolationists-if they only knew it
are this country's Fascists, whose pol
icies would force the American Govern
ment to regiment industry and agricul-
ture in order to compensate for the loss

duStrial regions. To that circum-
stance the Governments action
probably will be widely attributed.
Harsh things are being said about
the United States in Italy these days
by Premier MuSSolini himself and
by inspired" press mouthpieceS like
Virginia Gayda, but there is no rea-
son to suppose that the request to
close Italian conSulates here is a
reprisal for those particular develop
mentS or that it is the forerunner
of steps of graver character. With

lin more than two years ago led to
no more serious consequences than
action in kind by Germany.

Capital SideIiehts

A precedent of more than 100 years
standing il. the House was broken last
Thursday by Representative John E.
Rankin OF Mississippi, presiding in the
Committee Of the Whole House on the
State OF the Union. Under the preCe-
dent, members of a committee which re-
ported legislation under consideration
by the House are recognized" to speak
on the measure IN preference to other
members. But, in the case of an appro-
priatiOn bill, Mr.. Rankin ruled that
there is no written OF adopted rule of

Representative Allen T. Treadway, Re-

One of the most interesting activities
of the club is the providing of play
grounds and all-day entertainment on
Saturdays Sundays and holidays for the
poor children of the city. Upon their
arrival their clothes are taken from
them, they receive free barber service
and a shower bath, and then are pro-
vided with sports clothes and shoes.
While they are playing, their clothes are
disinfected, laundered and ironed. Cof-
fee and rolls are served in the morning,
a light lunch at noon and tea in the
afternoon. There are no obligations
or formalities to be fulfilled; the chill
dren are not even asked their names
when they arrive.
Three concerts are given every Sunday
and holiday in the beautiful big social
hall, and there is dancing every Sunday
afternoon and evening There is also
a free medical service, complete even to
x-ray equipment. Members have use of
all club property, including library facil-
tiles and Turkish baths.
Although the club is local in setting, It
Is national in spirit. and this is evi-
denced from a portion of its bylaws:
ITO teach and diffuse the love of coun-
try and sentiment of nationality, self
denial. the defense of the weak and the
assistance of the invalid, a respect for
institutions, human brotherhood, honor,
sobriety of habits, intellectual culture
and, in general, everything that tends
toward stability and social welfare"

On the other hand, if Great Britain
wins the war with American aid, there
then would be the opportunity again to
try to rebuild a liberal world trade sys-
tenn under the guidance of Britain and
the United States. This would require
the United States to show willingness
to use its resources to underwrite a re-
construction of trade and to act as a
world banker-taking over the role Eng
land filled for so long.
In the last war, the United States
helped the British win and then with
drew into isolation, raising tariff walls
and forcing the remainder of the world
to seek security in various forms of ma
