Master. We have built our shrines,
churches and cathedrals as eloquent
symbols of our faith, and with these we
satisfy ourselves and claim that ours is
Christian civilization" These days are
furnishing tragic evidence Of our inca
pacity to carry on our coveted way of life
without bringing what we have of Chris
tian faith to bear upon the mighty issues
of the hour.
Take us by and large as a people, our
Christian faith and practice contribute
little to the solving of the problems that
deeply affect us. In the very practical
epistle OF st. James, the demand is
made: Show me thy faith by thy
works" More and more we are being
compelled to recognize that the whole
gospel, especially the words of Christ,
have immediate application to the needs
OF the world. 1t has found no settlement
OF It's difficulties saving through resort
to arms. We must rid ourselves of the
superficial and inadequate remedies we
have employed to heal the maladies and
disorders that increasingly affect human
rela tions
We must do more than worship in our
churches. We must do more than paw
reverent homage to those principles of
life given to mankind by the Man of
Nazareth. The value of our professed
religion must be made evident in every
phase and aspect of our life. Our
churches must become to us as reservoirs
OF spiritual power, fitting and equipping
us to appraise and apply rightly what we
have of Christian faith to the common
place needs of men and women of everv
class and kind
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self" the second great command of
Christ, is root principle that must
more and more govern the nations of the
world. 1t may be that to America this
Is to be time in which she is to bring
her rare gifts and ideals to the healing
OF the wounds that today so gravelv
aff1lct us, time when she is to make
her greatest contribution to the cause of
world peace.

Mr.. RosenwuId's Gifts


Ihe authentic connoiSseur is mo-
tlVated by an instinct first to acquire
beautiful things and then to share
his pleasure in them by displaying
them for other persons. A recent
and most notable example of that
principle in operation may be found
in the magnificent gifts which Les
sing j. RosenWald of Philadelphia
has made to the National Gallery of
Art and the Library of Congress.
Bred in philanthropic tradition by
his father, he now earns his country's
gratitude by benefaction of su-
preme proportions on his own part.
His home at JenkintoWn, Pa, grad
ually will be stripped Of treasures for
the enrichment of two of the great
est cultural institutions of the Ma
tons Capital
A single glance at the catalogue
of the collection suffces to indicate
not merely the wealth, but the taste
and discrimination represented in it.
There are $50 etchings by Rembrandt,
81 engravings and 81 woodcuts by
Albrecht Durer, 270 Autographs by
Daumier, 367 prints by Whistler,
water colors by William Blake and
miscellaneous drawings by many
other artists. All of these graphic
masterpieces are to be added to the
gallery's constantly growing powers
of public attraction.
Meanwhile. the Library receives
precious manuscripts and "some of
the most splendid books ever made"
Archibald MacLeish custodian of
what daily is becoming more and
more truly "the greatest biblio-
graphic establishment in the world"
speaks of the contribution as en-
bracing "the finest examples of the
booknaking arts" There are ten
block books, precursors of books
printed from movable type: SO speci-
mems of the 18th century press in
Germany; Al from Italy; 27 from
France. Of early English productions,
five Caxtons, the Pynson Chaucer of
1912 and one of the four eXtant copies
of Wynkyn De Wordes edition of
Thomas Betsons "Profytable Trea-
tyse" Kelmscott titles to the number
of 66 are in the modern classification.
The Library acknowledgment also
mentions: IA printings of Boccaccio,
the first edition in German of Sir
John Mandeville's "Itinerarium,
Augsburg, 1472; Hartmann Schedels
nuremberg Chronicle" 1893; Pc
trarch's Historic Griseldis," Johann
zainer's press at Ulm, 1873; Lienhart
Holes edition Of Ptolemy, 1882; the
momentous letter which Christopher
Columbus wrote to Gabriel Sanchez,
treasurer of Aragon, printed in Latin
at Basle, 1894; and the first illus
trated edition of Dantes "Divina
Commedia," Florence, 1881.
Such books are rare beyond price.
Mr.. Rosenwald's presentation of them
is equally noteworthy.

Correcting Mistakes

IL IIle acknowledgment OF error be
regarded as the first step in correct
Ing mistakes, there is reason to feel
that progress was made last week to-
ward putting our food production
program on a sounder basis 1t will
be necessary, Of course, to 60 beyond
the mere confession of error, but
this is the first essential.
One corrective step was taken in
the. Senate, when that body voted to
send the Pace bill back to committee
for study and hearings This meas
ure, requiring the inclusion of the
increased price of hired farm labor
and the wages of farm operators and
family workers in the computation
of parity prices, would add S3OOO,-
100000 to the Nations food bill, &C
cording to Price Administrator PREM
tiSs Brown. Yet it was approved by
the Senate Agriculture Committee
without hearings on its provisions
and without consideration of the
complaint that it would tend to de-
stroy the Governments efforts to
control living costs. Recognizing that
this was mistake, a bipartisan coali-
ton in the Senate Friday forced the
bill back to committee, the Repub-
licans refusing to take political ad-
vantage Of the embarrassing posi-
ton in which the committees &C
ton had placed the administration.
Meanwhile, at the White House, the
President was announcing the cor
rection of administration policies
having to do with farm help and
farm machinery. With respect to the
latter, Mr.. Roosevelt said that the
War Production Board had been in
structed to make more steel and
facilities available for the manufac-
ture of farm machinery, which had
been too sharply curtailed. And, in
an effort to do something cOnStruc-
tive about the farm manpoWer short
age, he announced that 100000
additional farm laborers would have
been granted military deferment by
the end of this year, and that serious
consideration was being given to the
organization of land army Of g.,
100000 volunteer farm workers.
Just what the net result of these
steps Will be remains to be seen. The
administration may find, for in
stance, that it is easier to defer g.
100000 young farm workers from the
draft than it is to keep them actually
working on the farms without some
form of overall compulsory man
power legislation. And it may also
find that it is one thing to map plans
for a volunteer land army of $780,
600, but quite another to organize
such a force in manner that will
be of any great assistance to the
farmers.
The important fact is, however,
that these are steps in the right di-
rection. They put appropriate en-
phasis on our real agricultural
weaknesses-the shortage of man.
power and of machinery-and offer
some hope of finding a practicable
solution, which does not lie in price
boosting measures like the Pace bill.

THE ROAD TO PEACE
By The Right Reu. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D.. ILL., D, L..
Bishop OF Washington

In a recent notable address delivered
by Vice President Wallace, he undertook
to forecast the kind of world we must
have once peace has come. He found
In the gospel of Christ the principles
upon which he believed an enduring
peace could be secured This gospel, he
maintained, is set forth in one of the
most memorable statements that fell
from the lips of Christ, namely, ITO
feed the hungry, clothe the naked, COM
fort the sick and visit those in hard
luck" He further said that treating
your neighbors decently was the way to
show that you loved God" IF we want
peace, We must treat other nations in the
spirit of democratic Christianity. We
must make our religion practical. In
our relations with China, for example.
we must act in such way as to enhance
the material as well as the spiritual
well-being of her people" He affirmed
that we must deal with Russia in like
manner. He applied the teachings of
Christ practically on a world wide scale.
I'VE of the western democracies must
demonstrate the practically of our
religion"
There will be those who will criticize
such a fortnight statement on the
ground that it is impossible to follow
literally in human affairs, the teachings
of Christ. The answer to such criticism
is immediate and pertinent namely, that
we have tried other ways of adjusting
national and international relations and
have signally and tragically failed We
have found that the loosely knit ties
made through diplomatic agencies are
wholly inadequate to effect right and
satisfactory adjustments between ma
tions and peoples. The two world wide
wars that have come within the space
of a quarter century witness to the
weakness and frailty of all the efforts
we have made to bring about an orderly
and peaceful world
The average of us is ready to pay rev.
erence to the teachings of Christ, and
some Of us worship Him as Lord and

Southern Rail Rutes

The perennial complaint of the
South that discriminatory freight
rates are retarding industrial devel-
opment there is raised once more in

Valley Authority arguing for aboli-
ton of the regionalized system, un-
der which rail charges are calculated,
and substitution of uniform mile

Planners
From the Ottawa Journal.


The danger of socialism is not in its
theories of human welfare, but in its
principle of application. It's principle
is application of planned economy" by
the few for the many. Planned economy
means planners. The planners are in
evitably few Possibly these few at the
top may always be wise; probably some
times not wise In the present political
scheme of the English-speaking nations,
there are planners and regulators at the
top; but they work in political milieu
which recognizes that the planning and
the regulation are based upon co-opera-
ton by free private action and private
enterprise by private. citizens, and upon
recognition of the profit motive in busi-
ness and industry. Socialism denies this
cooperation. Socialism demands that
the entire action and profit of the COM
munity must be dominated by the state,
alias the planners at the top.

JUDGE Lindsey

To meet Ben B. Lindsey was to
realize that he was unique. No other
man of his time was like him. He
differed from his fellows in per-
sonality and character to an extent
which is difficult to explain in words.
People seeing him pass, hearing him
speak, reading his books or merely
talking with his friends were con-
scious of peculiar gifts in him. He
was, in a certain sense, out Of place
in the modern world--aS Socrates
or Saint Francis of Assist would
be if they were to come alive again.
Yet Judge Lindsey was useful. The
work he made for himself required
doing. He rose to it from the little
town of Jackson. Tennessee, where
he was born in humble circum-
stances November IS, 1869. The only
educational advantages he had were
those of the ordinary public schools.
His skill in law and literature was
largely selfacquired-and perhaps
for that very reason was the more
authentic. The story of his develop
ment of the Children's Court is an
American classic often retold. With
out claiming for him that he in
vented the now familiar system Of
Juvenile Jurisprudence, it must be
said that he is entitled to credit for
bringing it to approximate perfec-
ton. From 1901 to 1927 he pre-
sided over model tribunal at Den
yer. Removing to California in 1923,
he was elected to the Superior Court
In 1884 and reelected in 1910.
Meanwhile, Judge Lindsey Joined
in the advocacy of long list Of
other reforms. He was a liberal
when there were very few persons of
similar progressive instinct with
whom he could associate. His in

gress, David E. Lilienthal, chairman
OF the board of the IVA, said that
the country will need more manufac-
turing industry in the postwar era
than ever before and that this in
turn will call for full utilization of
the resources of South and West.
Until "the freight rate handicap that
hampers and delays the development
of these regions" is wiped out, he
added, advantage cannot be taken
of all these facilities. The higher
rates have been justified on the
ground there is difference in oper-
atlng costs as between regions.
The report is the third of the sort
prepared by the IVA. and its pub
lication conceded with the opening
in Tallahassee of the Southern Gov
ernors' Conference, with which the
rate question long has been an i'm
portant issue.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion at present is Investigating class
rates. In proceeding four years ago,
decided by the narrow margin of
five to four, the commission granted
relief to the South on certain COM
modities. In this action, usually re-
ferred to as the Southern Cover

Eastman wrote a vigorous dissent,
declaring the issue had become "po-
litical," and expressing the opinion
that the freight rates on manufac-
tured products have had much less
influence on the indus rial Develop
ment OF the South than they have
been credited with"

Mr.. Fitzpatrick, editing Washingtons

Alexandria adhered to the "old style"
calendar under which Washington was
born and under which his birthday was

year II days were dropped out OF Sep

''TURkEYBURGER"
NOT HAMBURGER

A recent newspaper received
here, carries a good story under q
dateline of Portland, November 81
as follows:
Meat-hungry Portland ready to
tighten its belt until Jan. when
the local meat shortage might be
over, has found a substitute for
hamburger.
It's turkey.
Butchers, faced with Increasing
gaps in showcases, today were
cutting up turkeys and selling the
pieces like lamb chops-if there
were lamb chops-or even like
the no-longer-existe beefsteak
La Grande market patrons
found that turkey steaks" chops
and hams filled the Thanksgiv-
ing bill nicely, and many buyers
chose the dismantled sections in
preference to a whole bird
There's this advantage, in addi-
ton to money savings-a white
meat connoisseur can fill up on
his fovorite speciality, and let the
part that goes over the fence last
go over the fence.
