orary plaque given annually to the
layman considered to have made
the greatest contribution to the
city's religious life.
1T is within the power OF the
churches in the democracies not to
let the channels OF rancor and
hatred deepen every 10 years, but
build instead for q belief and trust
In more promising life" he said.
The colonel deplored the state in

be cured by . strengthening of the

Col. Tufts, q former superin-

tary Of the Baptist Convention, who

magazine as claiming that estab-

strongly objected to this theory.

continue to lead in their worship.
This Is especially true in Wash

follow emotionalism," he said.
Asked II he thought Protestant
churches should merge, the colonel
shook his head
Let them work together as in the
federation, or merge as the Metho-
dists have done, but that is enough" I"
he asserted. IF they continue in
cooperation and function effec-
lively, the churches are doing their
part"
The colonel went on to say that
the Community Chest is as much

world"

SWEET THOUGHT

There are now seven govern
ment agencies having some say
so on sugar supply, and that
leads to complication.
Into this already oversweeten-
ed kettle of fish an eighth agen-
cy has now stuck its spoon-the
Board of Economic Warfare.
One subsequent situation devel-
oped like this: Although Depart
ment of Commerce agencies
have bought and stored practi-
cally the entire crop of Cuban
sugar to keep the Cuban sugar
growers and mills from going
broke, no such favorable ar
rangements have been made to
purchase the crop of Puerto
Rico.
The Puerto Rican sugar peo-
pie, anxious to make a deal for
themselves as favorable, started
negotiating with all the various
government agencies as requir-
ed. They just started, however,
when their Washington repre-
sentatives received a letter from
the sugar section of the Board
of Economic Warfare. 1t said, in
effect, that BEW had heard
about this proposal and it was
BEW's opinion that any deal for
Puerto Rican sugar should now
be made through BEW. The rea-
son: BEW has control of all i'm
ports.
