UNITY OF NATION Is
VITAL NEED NOW,
MISSION HEAD SAYS
CHRISTIAN FORCES OF AM
ERICA CHALLENGED TO SU-
pREME TASK OF REsToR-
ING WORLD
tspe, laI 10 The uItIEenl

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 28.--
Just returned from an extended
trip through a considerable part
of the United States. the Rev. DIR.
George A Wieland, head of the
Episcopal Church's domestic mis-
sionary work, sees. national unity
as the country's greatest need at
this moment.
National unity can be attained,
and retained" DR. Wieland says,
in one of two ways. BY the
patriotic effort of an enlightened
citizenship which is willing to
make sacrifices and to plan pro-
grams for the welfare of the
whole, or by the way of totali-
tarianism, of force, of fear, of
RECOMMENDATION.
knowing a good deal about
America" he added, 81 have the
burning conviction that the future
of our Christian civilization, our
Christian culture, and perhaps
even the future of the human race,
will be determined here, on the
American continent, in the de-
cades that lie Immediately ahead,
World Issue is Religious
IF a Christian civilization is
the only hope of world sanity,
then a Christian America is the
pivotal factor upon which the
future of humanity depends. And
America today, though nominally
Christian, is essentially pagan in
its outlook and its life.
"The world issue today is es-
sentially religious issue. We
have before us the straight choice
between God of mercy and truth
and love and human brotherhood,
on the one hand, and a god OF
blood and iron, of hatred and op-
preston, of war and human deg
relation, on the other"
As we see the need of unity, .
DR.. Wheland said, I'VE see choice
between unity based on force
and fear and human bondage
and unity based on the Christian
assumption Of a Father God who
broods over a race of brethren.
However much it may be OBJ
scured by political propaganda,
that is the real alternative facing
us.
This spiritual issue before us
brings to us the greatest task in
human history. To build a shat
tered morale, to preserve totter-
ing civilization; to restore sanity
and comfy and peace in human
relationship; to build better
human society on the smoking
ruins of the old; to make this
world more worthy of its destiny
as Gods world.
To this task we must call all
the Christian forces of America"

CAMPS HELPFUL
TO MANY BOYS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July
20 (FNS).-Concrete evidence of
the benefits from a physical
standpoint to young men enroll
ed in the CCC, was disclosed in
a report to the State Welfare
Board by James J. McEntee, di-
rector of the corps.
Entee said two-year survey
of 101,856 enrollees by the surg
con generals office, showed the
average 18-year-old enrollee
gains 1914 pounds and grows W
inch.
The study said that rural en-
rollees increased an average of
1907 pounds against 9.83 for
city boys and grew 80 inches
taller as against 81 for urban
ties.
In addition to physical i'm
provement it is pointed out that
the special training received by
the boys aids them in later life.

HATS ON NAVY HEADS

Everyone agrees its that's
off" TO Uncle Sans navy. but
from now on it's hats on" as
far as navy officers are con-
cerned. A naval regulation
recently put into effect re-
quires all officers to wear a
hat when going ashore in
civilian clothes.
II seems that officers had
been tending more and more
to decidedly informal attire
when on shore leave. Uncle
Sam felt that this informality
was likely to create among
civilians an impression i'm
compatible with the fine
traditions Of smartness and
perfect grooming which our
navy has always represented.
His officers appearance must
be as distinguished at all
times as it is on active duty.
Hence. the regulation.
incidentally. there's q hat
merchant in Honolulu who
has other reasons than pa
triotic pride for, approaching
the new rule. Immediately
after il went into effect. a
wave Of hat buying engulfed
him resulting in his selling
years stock in two days.

newspapers today were whipping
up new war of nerves" in the
Far East. bitterly attacking the
Dutch for an attempt to put
pressure" on Japan.
The japanese press attacks
came after announcement of a
freezing order from the Dutch
East Indian capital of Batavia.
impounding all Japanese credits
and requiring special permits for
shipment of materials to the is
land empire.
London. at the same time. was
preparing a program which will
freeze Chinese credits through
out, the British empire. The
move was at the request of the
Chinese government of Chang
Kai-Shek and is to prevent ia
pan from using Chinese credits
through dummy" Chinese banks.
Washington heard reports that
Japanese troops already are
landing on the French Indo- China
coast near Campodia, in position
for an attack on Thailand or an
overland thrust against the
Burma Road.
Rioting In Tokyo
Neutral observers saw evidence
. OF internal disagreements in ia
pan with a warning in the Japan
Times and Advertiser that wom-
en- must refrain from forming
long queues in front of food
stores.
The order against lining up at
food stores was said to have come
after police had been called to
break up riot among the women.
President Roosevelt, studying
the Japanese situation at Hyde
Park, was believed to be prepar-
ing an agreement with Latin AM
erican countries which would cut
off Japanese purchases every
where in the Western Hemis-
phere. Japan recently has been
making large purchases both in
Peru and Brazil, and the Presi-
dents plan, it is believed, would
divert those materials to the
United States.
Shin Position Mystery
Maritime officials were puz-
zled over the whereabouts of the
Japanese vessel, Totatu Maru,
which was scheduled to arrive at
San Francisco Friday with $50
Americans and a cargo of $3,000,-
600 in silk. The vessel was last
heard of when it was learned she
was standing off the California
coast, apparently waiting for or
ders from Tokyo.
