all We'll k1lOWn. W. - IhA'
I recently spent several hours in Los
Angeles famous Forest Lawn Me-
mortal Park, which has already
spent $18,OOO,000 on the cult OF the
dead. 1t has no parallel, even in
Egypt. The instinct to perpetuate
ones personality after death Is uni
versal. But stones and statues will
not do it.
Remember Jesus Christ"
Jesus shared this human instinct
to be remembered by His friends.
So He established the Lords Sup
per, the holy communion, as a
memorial to be kept in perpetuity
by all who call Him Friend, This
do in remembrance Of Me" Those
II plain men who met with Jesus
in the Upper Room have since be-
come billions to whom He is pre-
cious. In this sacramental rite, at
which His presence is promised,
His very life is shared by those who
partake of the symbolic bread and
wine. Like food on desert journey.
the Eucharist sustains the weary
souls of disciples. 1t is renewal
Of first vows; spiritual experience
that revives the inner life: fresh
relationship with the Saviour who
draws near to his friends in ten
derness and compassion.
In these wartimes of a world in
the remaking, it is personal real
ization of Christ that Is most needed.
He alone can save our civilization.
He is the only leader who can
change mems hearts from selfish
ness and greed and ambition for
power into a mood of good will
and service. The Twelve Disciples
in the Upper Room, commoners all,
became world-shakers and world
makers. There Is simply no limit
to the betterment of society that is

The Three-Way Look.
The Last Supper looks In three
directions. It views in retrospect
the life OF the Lord and ell His
works and ministry. In His ex-
ample, with its tireless service: its
wise and gentle speech; its patience
beneath misunderstanding; its fiery
championship Of right; its tender
sympathy with the weak and erring;
its steadfast pursuit of prayer, and
In its sublime loyalty to the Fathers
will Jesus is still the helper Of all
who follow Him.
Then there is the inward look Of
the sacrament. 1t searches souls.
1t determines our relation with the
spiritual and unseen and with Him.
Every communion Is a spiritual re-
plenishing and apartness and self
examination which our busy lives
sorely need.
Third Is the forelook OF the Last
Supper. 1t speaks, as so tenderly
did Jesus himself, Of the new feast
in the land of no partings, and of
the many mansions" and of the
sure coming again of the Saviour,
and of the triumph Of the King
dom. The LAND O. the leal" was
made very real and comforting at
this first feast Of remembrance.
One Of the tragic aspects Of our
ordinary life marked this final
gathering of the group of friends.
Jesus longed desperately to be un-
derstood by His closest comrades.
For months He had been trying to
make them see the cross, the shadow
and burden of which lay so heavily
upon His heart. His final dis
course in the Upper Room is the
part of the Bible best beloved by
believers. He opened the very
depths Of His being to these close,
but uncomprehending friends. The
presence of a traitor in their midst
seemed to hamper His utterance,
but after Judas had left on his
daStardly mission, Jesus seemed to
open His thoughts more freely.
Nevertheless. these crude men
who were soon to become saints and
leaders and heroes and martyrs
were so dull of comprehension that
they began to squabble amongst
themselves as to who should be
greatest in the Kingdom. Incred-
ible stupidity and smallness!
Yet the patience of Jesus did
not fail. What a friend He Is!
He quietly expounded the sublime
truth, which all of us have so
much difficulty in practicing that
he who serves the most is greatest
in the Kingdom So the Last Sup
per points directly to the obligation
Of Christians to be ministers, In
every situation in life.

OF the scene, which lald mold OF my
Imagination.
Here was a middle-aged man
somebody's son. perhaps somebody &
father, somebody's brother-alone in
a strange city, and at the end Of his
wanderings. He craved most Of all
the touch of friendly hand as his
journey ended. The great human
desire for fellowship and sympathy
was denied him. He died, deserted
Of his kind.
That little incident sometimes
recurs to me in connection with the
story Of the last hours of Jesus
before the arrest and the cross. He
was humanity hungry for fellowship.
He wanted those dear to Him to be
near Him. He craved their COM
pany and their comradeship. He
deeply desired to be remembered by
them. Therefore he made the elab-
crate preparations for final secret
rendezvous with them in the Upper
Room. There, lest they should for
get, He established the Feast Of
1t is a very human
Jesus, as we'll as a kingly Christ, who
reclined at the supper table with
His friends.
I have occasionally visited the
traditional site of the Upper Room
In the southwest corner OF Jerusa-
lem, now a Moslem mosque. But
it means less to me as memorial
to Jesus than the sacramental serv-
ices I have attended in many parts
of the world, on battlef1elds and
amidst strange tongues. The Lords

Mystery Is Solved.
There was much mystification
initially over the announcement that
Jorge Vargas. secretary to President
Quezon Of the Philippine Islands,
had remained in Manila after with
drawal of the American-Fi Filipino
armed forces, to function as Mayor
under the Japanese. President
Quezon since has removed the i'm

cial, to do what they could to main
tain order and prevent looting, met
with the full approval OF Gen.
Douglas Macarthur.
Loyalty of the Filipinos, long ago
assured Of independence, however,
only emphasizes the desirability of
inducing the same degree OF anti
Axis loyalty by other Far Eastern
natives. The stake. from the stand
poin; Of the anti-Axis alliance, is
stupendous. China has $4,000, 900
population, India more than 300,-
100000, the Netherlands Indies and
Malay States 65,0OOOOO, the Philip

1t is self evident that If all the
non-Japanese in the FaI East can
be convinced that Japan and Ger
many are their first enemies, defeat
OF the Axis will be assured. II, on

Martin for listing, as available

those Democrats who had op-
posed the reelection of Mr..
Roosevelt in 1910.
Chairman Martin, as a matter
OF fact, had no need to suggest
the names of New Dealers for
appointment to important posi-
tions in the war program setup.
They already have them in great
numbers and will have still more
If recent appointments are any
criterion. What Mr.. Martin was
driving at was the use of the
ability and brains of men who
did oppose the reelection Of
the President, but who are heart
and, soul supporting this coun-
try in the war. The suggestion,
however, that Herbert Hoover
might be more acceptable to the
country as price control admin
istrator-and might do a better
job-than New Dealer Leon Hem
derson, was too much for the
Democratic stomach. Mr.. Flynn
will take to the air before long

means almost certain death.
Thus, while the enemy has only
to read the speeches of our
highest authorities TO learn how
fast we are going in naval con-
struction, how many new ships
are being launched each month
and what our future program is,
we are cropping in the dark in
trying to determine the type OF
submarines infesting waters on
our Atlantic Coast.
Reserve Mileage for ProwIing.
II the new German and Itai-
Ian ocean-going submarines have
anything in common with the
Japanese type, they have cruis-
ing radius OF some $4,000 miles.
This means they can make the
trip from their home bases on
the French coast and return
without difficulty. This leaves
them some 5000 miles reserve
for prowling.
1t is generally assumed that
the Germans and Italians have
added substantially to their num-
bers Of this type of submarine.
At the outset of the war the
Germans were reported to be
building only very small under
sea craft for the blockade Of the
British coast. This program is
believed to have been modified
since the passage of the Lease
Lend Act by Congress.
The German high command
read the writing on the wall, and
realized that even II we did not
become involved in the war their
commerce destroyers would have
TO operate at greater distances.
Hence. the probability is great
that In the last I8 months the
German yards have built large
, ocean-type submarines capable
of raiding both North and South
American coasts.

is ended no matter who wins this
war. And, they say, acceptance of
this inevitability by the anti-Axis
nations and proclamation OF 1t to
Far Eastern peoples is the easy and
sure way to bring about Japanese
defeat.
What the Chinese and Filipinos
would like to have the United States,
Great Britain and Russian Jointly
proclaim is that self-government not
only will be the rule for yellow,
brown and black peoples, when the
war is won, but that natural deposits
OF tin oil, rubber and iron thence
forth will be developed primarily
for the benefit Of the people who
work them.
For Economic Order.
There are many British and Amer
leans who contend that this course
would be wise from the standpoints
both OF shortening the war and es-
tablishing workable economic
order when it Is over. Lifting OF the
income of the unnumbered millions
OF backward people, it is argued, Of
fers the one visible hope of a world
market sufficient to permit continu-
ance Of full production in the United
States and other industrial nations.
The American Government al
ready has set its course on these
lines. 1t has announced it's re-
linquishment of all extraterritorial
right in china and granted full in
dependence to the Philippines. The
good neighbor policy Of non-aggres-
sion in .he Americas has been car
ried to the point even OF refusing
to intercede when property Of our
citizens Is confscated by foreign
governments.
The Brintlsh have been slow in
following suit, but it is recognized
that they are confronted with many
difficult problems. The chief obstacle
to independence for India is the So
100000 Mohammedans. whom inde-
pendence would subject to Hindu
rule. Also there is the problem of
the already autonomous Indian
States, comprising II 600, 900 popula-
ton, which fear destruction if the
British withdraw. Relinquishment
of the Singapore naval base would
leave Australia and New Zealand
open 10 Asiatic invasion.
Russia Is Third Factor.
E.en so, the British situation in
the Far East had changed radically
long before the present war. The
Chinese uprising against foreigners
initially was directed against the
British and Hong Kong, last British
outpost in China, now has been lost.
If Japan is defeated, the Chinese are
sure to demand full sovereignty over
their country.
The Labor Party in Great Britain
long has taken the position that
India is more a liability than an
asset. The first Labor government
in 1924 refused to continue work on
the Singapore base on the ground
that Britain should inaugurate a
policy of gradual abandonment OF
the course of imperialism. Even
earlier. Britain had joined military
and naval bases in the Pacific, ex-
cepting Singapore.
The third factor IN the situation
is Russia. The Chinese very much
would like the Russians to speci-
