APPEALING TO THE
CONSCIENCE OF THE WORLD
The Pope directed his message to
the conscience Of the world. There
was no formal preface as in other
messages Of the Pope but itnrne-
Hiately the moving appeal: "God
grant that while you listen to our
voice your heart may be profoundly
btirred and moved to the deeply felt
Eeriousness, the loving solicitude,
The tnremitting insistence with
which we drive home these thoughts
which are meant as an appeal to
Ehe conscience Of the world"
| A year ago he had pointed out to
bhe world five essential principles
for an international order Of friend
" relations. This year his Christ
has message probes another field Of
peace, peace within the nations, and
he states that the people can be
Freed from the nightmare of war
Pnly II they struggle for an In
Fegral peace, a peace in both fields.
WHAT is WRONG?
If today society is to move toward
unity and not toward war and hat
red basic notions must be recog-
hized and honored. Every society
has originated out Of a desire for
peace. But peace he says Is "a tram
quill living together in order" and
order Is an internal approach to an
internal union. Now what are those
things which contemporary society
has forgotten and which 1t must
have II we are to move toward q
peaceful society?
First, God must be recognized as
the S1arst cause and ultimate foun-

must be recognized as the children
of God and neither as animals
herded together without rights, nor

satisfy the greed Of other men. Fur

Chairman Denies SEC
Usurped Congress- Powers
Ey the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Ganson Purcell. chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
said yesterday that any charge that
the SEC has usurped powers of Con-
gress in laying down rules on solici-
tation of proxies from stockholders
lis wholly unjustif1ed."
His statement was made to the
House Interstate Committee as it
began public hearings on measures
introduced by Representatives Boren,
Democrat, of Oklahoma. and VOL
verton, Republican, of New Jersey
to suspend the SECS authority to
issue proxy regulations for the du-
ration of the war.
AS Chairman Purcell began a de-
tailed explanation of the back
ground of the regulations, Repre-
sentative Wolverton observed that
it was strange that the last rules
were issued in December. 1912, just
two days after the Seventy-Seventh
Congress wound up its work and
went home.
Mr.. Purcell. however. declared
that information concerning the
regulations had been sent to inter
ested" persons in August of last
year, that more than 500 comments
on them were received. all of which
were weighed carefully before they
were put into effect.
Moreover, he declared that of the
eight contemplated regulations,
three we're not put into effect and
fourth was modified. The opening
hours of the hearing were devoted
to his explanation of how they

A panel Of three lawyers imposed

they did not know they were violat-
ing any rules.
Clayton G.. Perry, spokesman for
the men, said the men were on busi-

Mason Abso|ves Dr.. Ellis
In disqualification Delay

Commissioner Guy Mason yester-
day agreed there had been "a slip
somewhere in District government
machinery in connection with pro-
tested delay in providing hospital
care for Mrs. Mollie Hamburg, IS, of
the 300 block of F street S.W, who
is on the old-age pension list.
On re-eXamination of the facts
in the case, he said he was con-
vinced the delay could have been
avoided and more prompt treatment
afforded the patient had some one
at No. precinct telephoned the call
for medical assistance to DR.. George
j. Ellis, District physician to the
poor. assigned to that area.
At the same time, Commissioner
Mason absolved DR.. Ellis of all
blame. finding that, contrary to
earlier reports submitted to him,
DR.. Ellis had not been out of the
city last week end. Rather, Mr.
Mason found DR.. Ellis was on duty
and had called at No. 4 precinct
last Saturday morning and collected
several calls for his services, the
telephone call for aid for Mrs. Ham
burg being received later Com
missioner Mason said this call had
not been forwarded to the physi-
clan by phone.
In view of the fact that he had
been advised that DR.. Ellis was out
of town over the week end, Commits
sioner Mason told reporters he
could not understand why the
Health Department did not ascer-
tain 'the correct facts" before sub
mitting its first report on investiga-
ton of the case.
