which the word communism really
connotes 1t will be by q practice Of
Christian brotherhood, born Of q
sense of Gods fatherhood. We can
not have democracy without theoc-
racy. Religion Is the soil and source
of that selfiess living which puts
first the welfare OF the whole.
There is profound significance,
which cannot be overstressed, in the
fact that Russia and Germany tried
to drive Jesus out of their borders,
ere they could hope to impose the
dicts torial tyranny of classism. And
as Japan has moved into their fel-
lowship she has intensified her
pagan faith of Shintoism, and has
subjected the missionaries and the
Christians to oppressive measures.
While the origin of the unavoidable
ideal called Communism Is Christian,
the incompatibility Of modern po-
litical Communism with the teach
ings of Jesus is clear even to the
Kremlin.
bcttcT nan COMMUNISM.
We are not told when the primi-
tive church broke formally with the
communistic experiment. Soon, how
ever. we find the Christians dwell
ing as individuals. in their own
houses, some rich and some poor;
but all helpful to one another.
''Talbell's Guide quotes An early
author, Aristides, as writing to the
Roman Emperor Hadrian about the
Christians: They rescue the orphan
from him who Goes him violence,
and he who has gives to him who
has not, without grudging. And If
there Is man among them who is
poor or needy, and they have not
an abundance of necessaries, they
fast two or three days that they
may supply the needy with their
necessary food"
Before we ever spelled Social
Service with capital letters, or it
has become profession, the Chris
tian Church was busy with practical
ministry to the needy of all CLASH
flcaticns. We NAV not forget that
orphanages, hospitals, asylums and
kindred institutions which we now
take for granted were of Christian
origin. And from the first, as our
lesson text makes clear, tn. church
was organized for help to the poor.
What the early church had that
modern social schemes lack was a
common purpose and ideal. They
that believed were of one heart and
soul " Their like-mindednes sprang
from. their Christ-mindedness. 1t is
when "one is vou' master. even
Christ" that AL We are brethren"
and the dominant motive of life
becomes altruistic.
Somebody has said that there are
two kinds Of socialism: One which
would share its own possessions with
the needy. as was the case of the
first Christians; and the other,
which would take away the possess
sions of the rich. One is giving, the
other Is getting.
Tremendous social changes are
under way in today's world. They
may become viniictive and preda-
tory, after war has unleashed the
primitive instincts of man. It is for
the church to meet this emergency,
by imparting the Christian spirit of
good will, justice and peace to all
the varied strata and sections of
mankind. Her goal of the Kingdom
Of God is fairer and finer than any
modern conceptions of socialism and
Communism.

AFl Asks Contract
Covering Labor in
Melon Sheds Here

Continued from Page One)
that a charter has been sought for
an A.F.OfL. union to organize field
labor. This was discounted at union
headquarters but the union SpokeS-
man admitted he was without def
mite information.
Local $50 had its birth during
the spring lettuce strike in a juriS-
dictional squabble between CIO and
A.F.ofL. Since then the local has
expanded to include melon workers
and union representatives, accord
ing TO reliable authority, claim a
substantial percentage of Imperial
Valleys melon shec workers as
members. Shippers, on the other
hand, strongly discount the claim
and charge the local has far from
a majority, in fact a very small
percentage.
NO ELECTIONS
One factor, which confused the
lettuce controversy, Is missing from
this latest labor difficulty. There
have been no National Labor Rela-
tons Board elections on melon sheds
and therefore no bargaining agents
named.
So far. the valleys melon season
has scarcely got under way. Only
a few cars are being shipped daily
and peak production will not DC
reached until early June.
Chief underlying issue behind the
proposed union contract appeared
10 be simply union shop. The wage
scale proposed varies only slightly
with prevailing rates and shippers
insisted that the pay requests were
no issue. However, the proposal
provides that in the event a shed
hires non-union help, those workers
must join the union within six days
and the employers are asked to hon
or all orders for deduction of union
initiation fees and dues.
Provisions also are made in the
proposed agreement for union stew
ards to settle minor difficulties and
for a Cancellation board composed
Of union representative and shed
representative.

The speech still emphasized, how

foreSaw American entry into the
conflict, especially to throw United
States naval strength on Britain's
side.
The speech of Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson, calling for direct
United States naval action to keep
open the supply lines to the British
Isles, was described by London
newspapers as showing that the
decisive hour" was near.
The question. the London Star
said, is not whethor the United
States will fight, but when. In Ber-
lin, Nazis merely repeated that the
consequences of sending American
warships into the belligerent zone
were clear"
AIR WAR RACES
Daylight raids by Raj planes
along the coast of France, battles
with Nazi fighters over the English
Channel (where six German planes
were reported downed) and steady
nighttime pounding of British
ports, and shipyards indicated the
Nazi efforts to win q decision in
the battle of the Atlantic.
For the time being, the blockade
and counter blockade as it involves
United States policy overshadowed
British successes in fighting pro-
Axis troops in Iraq and the sudden
change of high official titles at
Moscow.

Judge Reduces Sentence,
Vdcafing His Prior Ruling

Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue in
District Court yesterday afternoon
took the unusual step of reducing
previously-imposed sentence be-
cause the defendant had been
sentenced by him three times for
various crimes. Luther Sykes had
previously been sentenced, on a
charge of forging and uttering a
Government check, to one to three
years, but Justice ODonoghue yes
terday reduced this to 6 to 1s
months.
Sykes had written to the iurist
from the Jail, indicating that he
had received harsh treatment at
the hands of the court. Because
but $50 was involved in this case
and due to other circumstances,
Justice O'Donoghue decided to give
the lighter sentence. vacating his
prior judgment.
Justice ODonoghue said he re-
duces a sentence only in about one
out OF 500 cases. but that here he
felt the ends of justice would be
served. Sykes has difficulty now in
Walklng-a condition he blames
upon his confinement in iail. AS
sistant United States Attorney John
H. Mitchell, who represented the
Government, interposed no objection
to the lighter sentence.
