dress, the Congress rose as one
man to applaud him. it was not
in recognition of histrionic abil-
ity or of oratorical charm. 1t was
in recognition Of character and
courage and a life of devotion
to duty.
The white haired Secretary of
State, who has occupied that
high office for more than
decade, stood on familiar ground
in the House chamber. He was
member of the House from
1907 until 1929. After a brief
hiatus he was elected to the
Senate in November, 1880. In
that body he served until he was
appointed by President Roosevelt
in 1888 Secretary of State. AS a
member of the House he became
the father of the income tax sys-
tenn and also of the Federal
estate tax.
Mr.. Hull has held a constant
devotion to the advancement of
international trade. His was the
conception of the reciprocal trade
agreements. When he became
Secretary of State, he was deter
mined, if he could, to aid in
breaking down trade barriers
which had been erected by this
country and by practically every
other important nation in the
world after the last war. Up to
the time of the present world con-
flct, he had been signally success
full in the negotiation of recipro-
cal trade agreements between the
United States and other coun-
tries. AS a consequence, inter-
national trade was on the in
crease. 1t is recognized now that
If the world is to be peaceful in
the future, there must be free
intercourse and trade between
all the nations.
Success Acclaimed.
The veteran Secretary of State
went to Moscow to represent the
United States at one of the most
important, if not the most i'm
portant, meetings of representa-
tives of the United Nations
since the war began. The sue
cess of that conference has been
widely acclaimed. 1t laid the
ghost of the fear that ultimately
Russia might make a separate
peace with Germany. 1t en-
bodied in its agreements the
groundwork of international COL
laboration for the maintenance
of peace in the future. 1t pro-
vided for setting up a European
Advisory Council with its seat
in London and an Advisory
Council for Italy, both to report
on problems now involving the
war area in Europe. 1t did not
settle certain boundary issues
that will have to be determined
after the war is won.

Dishonest men hurt nobody else

Honesty is the best policy; but
the deeper student of life is ruled
by honesty, not from the selfish
motives of policy, but because it is
the eternal decree of the Almighty.
Thou shalt not steal comes ring
ing down the ages as one of the 10
words by which God says life is
to be governed So shaped. char
acter wins life's real rewards; as the
Scotch bard declared, AN honest
man is the noblest work of God"
The committee which formulates
these international uniform les
sons assigns as Scripture for this
week the Eighth Commandment. with
a passage upon it's social implica-
tions-the colorful story of Zaccheus,
the undersized. rich publican who
climbed tree to see Jesus: and the
sensational cleansing of the temple
Such zeal as that of Zaccheus
could not escape the quick eye of the
Master, who, utterly free from class
consciousness and local prejudices,
invited Himself to dine with
Zaccheus. OF course. the public was
scandalized-the good Rabbi at the
table of publican and notorious
sinner
That social occasion had charac-
ter consequences. It transformed
the greedy publican. FIis new desci-
pleship expressed itself, as honest
conversion always does, by restitu-
tion-and benevolence. The short
cut to social justice is discipleship to
Jesus. Changed men change condi-
tions.
When the Carpenter from Naz-
areUh subsequently wrecked the dis
honest business in the temple courts
He precipitated the avalanche which
resulted in His own death. There
is price to be paid for loyalty to
uttermost honesty, but the reward
is redemption for the world.

about whom nobody in Washing
ton is lost in alteration any longer,
is out, fiat out, politically.
Did We know this would happen?
l doubt it. Leaving aside the ques-
ton of whether De Gaulle is devil
or angel. dictator or democrat, the
evidence Is strong that we misread
the facts concerning the extent of
his support and of his grip on the
French underground. We are sur
prised by what one reporter calls
"the surging trend of opinion in
Algiers'' toward De Gaulle, a. trend
which mounts as more and more
leaders of the underground reach
the political arena in North Africa
There are many signs that we
have opinions about De Gaulle, but
there are few signs that we know
what to do next in regard to him.
And this, think, is the heritage
of our dealings with Vichy. There
may have been, I will concede it,
strong military reasons for dealing
with Vichy. But there was also a
price to be paid for doing so. The
price was lack of contact with the
French underground, suspicious,
derogatory and defensive attitude
toward it, and. finally, ignorance
of it: ignorance which leaves us be-
wildered by recent political changes
in Algiers, and with the odd feeling
that we are dealing with strangers,
with men mysterious, remote, un-
known and not quite friendly.
Two Frances Exist.
There were two Frances. We dealt
with one The other is now in the
ascendancy. Even if our policy was

to deal with Vichy only to destroy
it, the net is that we destroyed the
France we knew, and never tipped
our hat to the France which is now
coming out on top.
1 leave the moralitics out of this
essay on purpose. address it to
the practical men in our Govern
ment, conceding that they operated
with the intention of producing a
certain desired military result, and
that they produced it. If we will
only agree now that that is a closed
chapter, if we will stop trying to
justify past policies by current atti-
tudes, I see no reason why we can
not deal with the French political
situation afresh.
I put it to the practical men, as a
practical matter. that we cannot
afford to have a France which hates
us. 1t is no answer to continue to
insist that there are certain things
about De Gaulle we do not like.
That Is a fight into emotional rea-
sons, of exactly the character which
we never permitted to sully the cold
mechanical efficiency of our rela-
tions with Vichy.
1t Is Not a Mirage.
If we do not know the French
underground, then we must come
to know it. If we are unacquainted
with those bearers of unfamiliar
names who now man the French
Committee, then we must become
acquainted with them. 1t is a ques-
ton of attitudes. If We approached
the French underground with one
tenth of the difference with which
we once approached Vichy, we could
set up a system of procedure for
establishing the future of France
Who says we cannot deal with the
underground? Our ability to deal i.
what we are proudest of. We have
been boasting OF it for years.
But first we must have a sense
that the French underground i:
real; Just as real, in its illegaI
formations, as was Vichy with its
state seals. l do not think we vet
believe that the French under
ground exists, not in the way in
which we believed in the reality OF
Petain. Perhaps, like a mirage, il
will evaporate.
1t will not evaporate. The sou,
OF France is even more real than
the decrepit hero of Verdun. There
is something mere to deal with. II

men, once they step out of yester-
day into today.

probably be the theme of the world
conference-was stressed this week
by speakers at the annual meeting
of the World Alliance for Interna-
tional Friendship Through the
Churches in Toledo, Ohio.
! Meanwhile Protestant and Catho-
lie religious forces expressed them
selves this week on the Moscow dec
laration.
The Executive Committee of the
Federal Council unanimously adopt
ed a report which asserted that the
Moscow declaration is a notable
step toward realizing international
order" as provided by the six pillars
OF peace adopted by the Federal
Council. The report also character
lied the Moscow declaration as a
great development from the Allan
tic Charter" stressing that the lat
ter proposed no international insti-
tutions and contained no reference
to religious and intellectual free
dom.
The Federal Council report de-
clared, however, that the Moscow
declaration contains antiquities
and that there are major omis-
sions" such as the failure to deal
with colonial and economic matters
But, the report concluded, "the
Christian forces of the country can
be grateful that their Government
has co-operated with the govern
ments of Great Britain, Russia and
China to make sound beginning for
world order"
The Roman Catholic hierarchy OF
the United States asserted also that
the Moscow declarations represent
a definite step in the right direc-
tion," but the bishops were gen.
orally more cautious toward the
agreements than the Protestant
body.

The Week in Re|ioion
'y Religious News Service,

! os IseIislouS news service.
The Executive Committee of the
Federal Council of Churches decided
this week that the council will make
no effort. to secure formal repre-
sentation at the peace conference.
The committees action was taken
| following presentation of a report
from its Advisory Committee, which
pointed out that important deci-
slons concerning the future will
probably be made not at formal
peace conference but in a series
OF step -by-step negotiations.
AS an alternative, however, the
committee voted to authorize the
council to continue and strengthen
the present policy of bringing the
influence of the American churches
to bear upon the officials of our
Government, particularly those
within the Department of State :"
The Federal councils decision is
expected to terminate efforts by
some Protestant groups toward OBJ
tanning church representation in
some form at the peace table. Sew
eral groups had proposed that
Christian scholar or an official
church leader be selected by the
American Government to partici-
pate in future peace negotiations.
The National Council of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church is on rec
ord in favor of a proposal of this
kind.
International Conference.
AS the Federal Council acted to
discourage formal church represen-
tatlon at the peace conference, it
took steps to center attention on
the convening of an international
conference of church leaders after
the war. A resolution was adopted
by the Executive Committee re-
questing the American members of
the World Council of Churches to
consider holding such a conference
as soon as possible after the cessa-
ton of hostilities. The proposed
assembly would be made up OF
churchmen with special experience
in international affairs, authorized
to consider ways in which the ecu
menlcal Christian fellowship can
make its influence felt more effec-
lively in the period immediately
following the war"
Plans for holding world church
conference after the war have been
discussed for several years, with the
United States tentatively agreed
upon as the scene of the conference.
The proposal was again referred to
last week at the joint annual meet
ing Of the American sections of the
World Conference on Faith and Or
der and the Universal Christian
Council for Life and Work. Dr.
John R. Mott, honorary chairman
OF the International Missionary
Council, suggested to the meeting
that a preliminary conference of
churchmen representing the World
Council of Churches be held in some
neutral country Immediately after
the war to prepare the way for the
