policy of the Americas. AS Lord
Halifax said, nations. like individ-
uals, can only exist in freedom and
security if they are prepared to CO.
operate for mutual economic welfare,
and, if need be, for mutual Defense"
One thing this Nation must re-
member If it is to fulfill its destiny
in helping to establish freedom and
security firmly after the war was
put aptly by the Ambassador in these
words: "Just as the liberty of the
individual must have regard to the
needs of the community, so must
every nation in future accept its OBJ
legations to the general family of
nations. Rights, whether personal or
national, are always morally linked
with duties" In other words, there
can be no more isolationism" in our
national thinking if we do not want
to throw away the fruits of the vic
tory we now are engaged in helping
Britain win
Lord Halifax said he dares to hope
that "our two peoples will appreciate
the immense responsibility that will
jointly rest upon them; and that, in
the words of Pascal, we may combine
justice and power, making what is
just strong, and what is strong, just.
AS Americans, we should make up our
minds now to do our part to sustain
that hope.

evidence of anything more than tragic
climax that has again and again been
the lot of those whose ways and habits
of life were out of consonance with hui
man thinking and practice. Self1shness.
cruelty, ambition, lustful passions, all
have conspired to destroy Him and to
render the cause He represented impo-
tent. The same human elements that
gathered about the cross that first Good
Friday are conspicuous in the life of our
age. While the world at large recognizes
in Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified man
upon the cross, the high-souled exponent
of philosophy of life that has never
been surpassed, nevertheless, to it's
thinking He belongs in the category Of
those who, while they appeal to the inl-
agination, do not fit in with the ways Of
human thinking and doing. On the
other hand, to those who reverently BE-
hold Him as the supremest exponent of
life's loftiest end and purpose; as the
divine Messenger to mankind, the re-
vealer of the eternal heart of the Father
yes, as the Saviour and Redsemer as we'll
as the revealer of that which is divine,
and hence immortal in man, is He the
power of God unto salvation.
The cross is the highest approximation
OF self1esS service, the mightiest witness
Of devotion and self-giving. That Its
power has persisted through the long
centuries in spite of human cupiditv and
human weakness, is one of the most SELF
evident facts of history. Its power is as
manifest today as it ever was. In spite
of all our self-seeking, in spite of all the
evidences of unleashed passions, it still
holds its sovereign place, and multitudes
of men and women beholding it, see in
it the realization and fulfillment of all
their highest hopes and expectations.
All our contentious and speculations are
silenced in its presence. The power that
proceeds from it is the most beneficent
the world has ever known. Here oppres-
sive burdens are Ightened, here sins lose
their overwhelming sway, here sorrows
are mitigated, here the disappointed and
disheartened see in life a new meaning
and feel the pulsings of a finer and
higher endeavor. Yes. the cross to those
who behold it with understanding hearts
and minds is still the power of God
unto salvation"

of other commodities may be limited.
There then will be competition for the
available supply. Out of that competi-
ton would come price rise difficult to
control.
Consequently, government even now is
laying plans to take away from workers
through taxes and forced saving, part
Of the wage increase it is encouraging
these workers to demand. Imitation con-
troll plans are having to go hand in hand
with evidence that wage demands are
leading to so great an increase in pur-
chasing power that industry cannot for
long produce goods in volume large
enough to fill the wants of holders Of
that purchasing power.
Out of this situation is to grow vast
extension of Government controls, and
some of those controls may extend to
The labor organizations whose demands
are helping to make more Government
regulations necessary.

THE CROSS THE POWER OF GOD
By the Rt Rev. James E. Freeman, D. D., ILL., D, D. c. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

In his monumental book, "Founda-
tlons Of the Nineteenth Century" Hou-
ston Stewart Chamberlain makes this
statement, 1T is not the churches that
form the strength Of Christianity, but
that fountain from which they them
selves draw their power, the vision of
the Son of Man upon the cross"
One of the strangest facts in human
history is the unfailing and continuing
power of this symbol of defeat upon
which the Saviour of mankind was lifted
up. 1t is the fulf1llment of His own word
wherein He said, Il, If l be lifted up,
will draw all men unto Me" Thus. the
symbol of defeat has been made the
supreme symbol Of triumph, and that
which was designed to mark the end Of
a martyrs way has become, to those who
believe in it, the open sesame" to life
itself. Through the long centuries men
have been seeking to define its subtle
power and influence. Artist, poet and
seer, all have joined to interpret 1t
and its uplifted Lord. At times men
have Stunned it. They have sought to
put it out of their memory and still it
persists. 1t is safe to say that more peo-
pie will bow reverently before it on the
approaching Good Friday than at any
time In human history. What it means
to the sufferer, the sinner, the despond-
ent, the dying, who will dare to say?
Only where the church has recognized
and honored it as its supremest symbol,
only where 1t has sought to emulate the
mighty virtues of Him who hung there
on, has it risen to power and ever-ex-
panding influence
The influence of the cross upon sue
ceeding generations and civilizations,
only the closest study of history discloses.
To those who look upon the cross as
the logical climax of life given to an
ideal that Is beyond the comprehension
Of the human mind and who see in it
nothing more than the inevitable ending
of an impractical dreamer, 1t is foolish
ness. To those who regard Him who
hung upon it as one of the many ideal
lists that history has disclosed it is an
other spectacular demonstration of a
futile endeavor after the impossible To
those who beheld Him on that fateful
Good Friday centuries ago, there was no

work on the library, it seems evident
that they have in mind the possible
diversion of the funds already appro-
priated for the library as well as the
appropriation intended to be made
available in 1912.
Elsewhere in today's Star the con-
dltlonS which led the library trustees,
after mature and careful delibera-
ton, to seek the construction of
new central library are fully set
forth. 1t seems desirable, however,
that attention should be called to
one consideration which may we'll
have been overlooked by the Com
missioners in proposing, even as a
"laSt resort" that the new schools
be built at the expense of postpon-
ing the library.
The Public Library supplies class
room collections, essential books and
services to all elementary and junior
high schools in the District, and con-
geSted conditions in the schools di-
vision and the children's room at
the present central library already
have brought these fundamental
services to the breaking point. But
the Commissioners, probably with
out thinking the matter through,
advance in their fourth proposal to
Congress plan which simply would
have the effect of materially increas-
ing these demands which originate
in the public schools, while postpon-
ing arrangements already made to
enable the library to expand its fa-
cilities to meet this as we'll as other
vitally important needs of the
community.
There is no disposition in any quar-
ter to question the wisdom of the
Commissioners urgent request for
new schools, but it is to be hoped
that this necessary improvement will
not be made by calling a halt to the
library project, which is also of
Importance to the
District.

War Aims

Great Britain's war aims, as out
lined by Viscount Halifax in his ad-
dress at New York last week, merit
the Wholehearted Endorsement of
this country.
Certainly there can be no disagree
ment with the British Ambassadors
statement that "the principal war
aim of my people and of those who
are fighting with us is to win this
life e-and-death struggle for the cause
