haps he still carries a copy of Theo-
critus In his pocket. Maybe he con-
tinues to prefer Epicurus to Karl
Marx. He rather enjoyed being "dif-
ferent." In any event, he was a
realist in time to be in uniform
before Pearl Harbor. News from the
headquarters of General Douglas
Macarthur suggests that his present
vocation is blasting the Japs." He
works with an antiaircraft gun that
hungers for targets.
And when the war Is over, what
then? Will the boys and the girls
who have saved the world be content
to lapse into the condition which
Grover Cleveland denominated Gin
nocuous desuetude"-a dead-level of
human mediocrity? Granted, they
will want rest and recreation for a
while. But the habit of doing things
the instinct to be active-is as
much part of them now as breath
ing. It is incredible that they
would be satisfied to "settle down"
to "the same old routine They
have been taught on the firing line.
Under threatening skies, in lands
dangerous and over seas perilous,
they have learned a new criterion
of life; they have been educated in a
better and nobler way. Here, then,
is thought to ponder: These young
people may read and love the written
history Of the past, but what they do
about the development of human
governance Cf circumstance in the
near tomorrow is the thing that

among the nations. I will be exalted in
the EARTH"
To know God! That is the alluring
quest of our brothers of the far-fiung
ages. What have men not attempted
in prosecuting that tireless search! There
are many familiar avd sure paths that
lead us into the Holy of Holes where
are the altar-fires of God, and the road
of silence is one of them. BE still and
know"
Perhaps that is what God is trying
to say to us in these summer days when
the heart turns instinctively from ma
creature of great reserve. She will not
reveal her joys and most secret charms
to the eyes of the vulgar, the f1ippant,
and the boisterous. But to those who
approach her in reverence, who wait
patiently in her presence, and who open
wide the doors and windows of their
souls to welcome in the silence the
lessons she has to teach, to such will
be granted a glimpse of her unveiled
beauty. If you would know the secrets
that nature has to display, you must
be still.
The pathway of silence leads also to
the divinity in the, heart of a friend.
Through the gateway of silence we enter
into something of the mystery and the
wender of our own human nature. There
are few people with whom we can dare
to be silent. For in those moments of
silence we whisper to one another words
that can never be forgotten. Would you
know the divinity of your own soul and
the souls of others? Obey the mandate
of the text, BE still and know that
am God"
Thus there Is both music and wisdom
In these lines for all the changing scenes
of life. Thus a mother, winding her
arms about her child, will seek to hush
its sobs. Thus in some dark night of
sorrow when the heart is breaking doth
God enfold us in His everlasting arms
of grace and love, rendering assuring
us of His presence-"Be still and know
that I am God" And when the storms
of life are raging, through the midnight
and the darkness comes a Saviour who
controls my Galilee, saying. Peace, be
still, and know that I am God.'

Scooped by London

American cff1cialdom is being
scooped with tiresome regularity by
the British. If there is news to be
released simultaneously in London
and Washington, London seems al
ways to get it first. The fault does
not lie with the newspapermen. 1t
seems to spring from more rigid
observance of agreements on this
side of the water by American Off
eials, or more red tape, or possibly
combination of the two. 1t began
with Mr.. Churchill's Atlantic con-
ference" meeting with Mr.. Roosevelt.
British press representatives were at
least near Mr.. Churchill, while Amer
lean reporters and photographers
were kept ashore. News originating
In Africa, beginning with the land
Ing last November, has some times
reached Washington from London
before the Washington reporters
have been able to telephone their
offices from a press conference. Lon
don papers were limiting about the
Casablanca conference for days,
while American officials were stonily
silent. The agreed-upon time for
release of the Joint statement of
President Roosevelt and MIR. Church.
Ill, warning Italy, was o'clock Fri
Gay morning. But the cables we're
carrying rather accurate predictions
of the statement Thursday after
noon from London. The news from
Sicily has been getting to London
quicker than to Washington, even
though 1t is supposed to originate
from common pools.
1t presumably Is necessary, during
the war, to maintain official controls
over the sources Of news. But when
British reporters, theoretically sub
ject to comparable controls, seem
able to beat their American COL
leagues with consistent regularity.

An UncompIeted Task

An important task, left uncom-
pleted by Congress when it took it's
recess until September Is, was the
outlawing of racketeering in inter-
state commerce. The House on April
9 passed the Hobbs antiracketeering
bill by the impressive vote of 27O to
109. 1t was referred to the Senate
Judiciary Committee. There it has
remained for three months without
a wheel being turned.
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming,
chairman of judiciary subcommit-
tee in charge of the Hobbs bill, has
promised now that the measure will
be given consideration when Con-
greSs returns to Washington. Soon
after Senator O'Mahoney had been
named chairman of the subcommit-
tee he became i'll, and when he re-
covered he was called upon to handle
some of the big appropriation bills.
1t is an unfortunate system, however,
which delays indefinitely important
legislation because one man is i'll or
overworked.
1t became necessary to enact the
Hobbs bill when a decision of the
Supreme Court held that possessors
of labor union cards could not be
prosecuted under the original anti
racketeering law when they stopped
trucks entering New York from New
Jersey or Connecticut and forced
their owners to pay union wages to
a union member before their trucks
could deliver any goods. In some
cases the holders of the union cards
merely took the money and per-
formed no service Chief Justice
Stone, in dissenting opinion, said
that in effect this was licensing high
way robbery.
Contrary to popular belief that
this kind of racketeering was and is
infrequent, officials of the Office of
Defense Transportation are author
ity for the statement that 1000
trucks are affected each night by
these practices. 1t is not confined to
New York alone, occurring outside
many of the great cities of the coun-
try.
Leaders of organized labor have
strongly protested against enactment
OF the proposed antiracketeering law,
although the bill makes no reference
to labor unions or members of
unions. 1t merely declares in no
uncertain terms that there shall be
no interference with interstate COM
merce by robbery and extortion.
The Hobbs bill was originally in
troduced in the last Congress. The
House Judiciary Committee held ex-
tensive hearings, which are recorded
IN 429 printed pages. For that reason
hearings were not held in the present
Congress, and the committee re-
ported out the bill. 1t was amended,
however, to meet criticisms of some
OF the labor leaders, who insisted
that the original terms were too
vague, and might have been misused
by judge unfavorable to organized
labor. But still the labor leaders
protest against its passage.
In all probability the Senate. like
the House, will pass the measure by
more than a two thirds vote, if and
when it gets an opportunity to vote
on the measure.

Confusion Compounded

AltnOugn CONFUSION seems to be the
rule rather than the exception in
Washington these days, there has
been nothing as yet to equal the be-
fuddlement which has attended the
official presentation of the facts"
pertaining to the East Coast gasoline
supply situation. To illustrate the
point one need not go back beyond
last month.
On June IS Secretary Ickes, pc
troleum administrator for war, de-
pfored the "looseness" of the present
gasoline rationing system. Five days
later his assistant, Ralph K. Davies,
said there was small likelihood that
any of the current transportation
restrictions could be lifted.
On June Is officials Of the Office of
Price Administration let it be known
that they were considering suspen-
sion of all A books because of the
critical gas shortage. Two weeks
later OPA announced that the pleas
ure-driving ban had been relaxed to
the extent of permitting motorists to
take one vacation trip in their cars.
This was just day after Mr.. Ickes,
In a new book, had said that he
wanted it distinctly understood"
that I'VE are not going to be able to
remove restrictions on our civilian
driving"
About a week later the Petroleum
industry War Council said the ban
on pleasure driving could be elm
mated by cleaning out the black
market and establishing better con-
troll of coupon issuance. The next
day OPA Administrator Prentiss
Brown said the ban on pleasure driv-
ing in the East would be lifted for A
book holders "as soon as possible"
Mr.. Brown, it was reported, believed
that Mr.. Ickes had not allotted as
much gasoline as possible for civilian
purposes.
On the following day Mr.. Ickes
said that more gasoline can be made
available for civilians only at the
expense of military operations. ANY
suggestion to the contrary" he said,
'.is uninformed, irresponsible and
mischievous" During that after
noon Joseph B. Eastman, Federal
transportation co-ordinator, told
che New England Governors Confer
ence that insufficient gasoline was
being allotted for essential transpor-
tation in the East, and in speech at
Boston that night Mr.. Brown said the
ban on pleasure driving would be
lifted eventually but that he did not
know when this would be.
1t is against this background that
James F. Byrnes, director of war
mobilization, Is investigating the
gasoline situation. No one supposes
that any amount of investigating is
going to produce more gasoline than
already exists. But the inquiry now
under way ought to determine where
the truth lies, and, while the people
may have to continue to get along
on short gas rations, this would be
easier If, just for once, they know
what the real facts Of this matter
Ore and what they may expect in
the way of gasoline in the future.

LISTENING TO GOD
"Be still and knoD that God."-Psalm rlut10
By REV. ALBERT JOSEPH MCCARTNEY, D. D.,
Minister OF the CouenantFirst Presbyterian Church.

There is a town in Palestine caNed
Shechem located in a valley skirted by
high mountains in the region where
Abraham settled at the end Of his
pioneering. Our Arab guide told us that
there is a river flowing beneath the
streets of this ancient city. During the
hours Of the day you cannot hear its
flow for the noise in the streets and
bazaars, but when evening comes and
the daytime clamor has died away and
sleep falls upon the village and all is
hushed and quiet, those who are lying
awake can hear distinctly the murmur-
ing music of the buried stream.
There are voices that we can never
hear save when everything is silent.
These voices reach us as revelation of
the vast stiffness of the universe. They
seem angelic messengers that bring us
tidings from the unknown. Silence, the
great Empire of Silence" exclaims Car
lyle, higher than stars, deeper than
the kingdom of death. Silence and
the great silent men :. scattered here
and there, each in his department 81
lently thinking, silently working, whom
no newspaper makes mention of-they
are the salt of the earth. A country
that has none or few of these is in a
bad way
The author of the 46th Psalm was in
spired to write this great poem on
war and peace" out of the world-rock-
ing experiences of his day. The ex-
igencies of war and catastrophe had
thrown him back upon God and he boldly
declares that he can face the changes
with fearless heart and steady eyes.
1--WE will not fear though the earth do
change" Then he bids us to look upon
the desolation wrought upon the earth
the Stalingrads and Pearl Harbors and
Colognes of his day. What desolation
He hath wrought in the earth" But
presently the scene changes and all the
implements of war are scrapped and
the agencies Of peace are again at work.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end
of the earth. He breaketh the bow and
cutteth the spear in sunder. He burneth
the chariots in the fire. Be still and
know that I am God. I will be exalted

Re-educuted

If there be any merit to the critical
contention that history has been
neglected in the generality of insti-
tutions of higher learning, the fault
must now be in process of correc-
tion-not in schools but upon battle
fields. Dimly but surely, thoughtful
observers have begun to see that
vast numbers of people-men and
women of every race and nation,
class and creed-are making history
with a power never before approx
mated by any other folk at any time.
The mere reading Of books, then, is
a relatively insignificant educational
procedure. Study in itself is an
academic business. Much more i'm
portant is the experience in which
practically everybody presently is
sharing.
To illustrate the principle involved,
let the case of an erstwhile Star
reporter be cited: He came on the
staff one summer half dozen years
ago, did ordinary assignments, wrote
a few feature articles, sat in the news
room after hours debating poetic
formulas with another budding bard.
His verses were tolerable, and he
stuck by them even when his senior
contemporaries, wise with the
wisdom of their own disappoint-
ments, demanded: whats that stuff
got to do with the price Of spinach?"
The answer was: Nothing" but he
forebore to offer 1t. When September
ended he went back to school, and
most Of those who had known him
forgot him-until just recently. Per-

Executive Visions
Future Saving

The world of 30 years from now
with the problems of slum clear
ance and low cost housing solved
by a unified system of private
enterprise thrift institutions is
envisioned under admittedly ideal
istic terms in an article by Morton
Bodfish. Chicago, executive vice
president OF the United States
Savings and Loan League. Using
the looking backward" technique,
the league executive presuppoSes
the development by 1870 of new
type OF savings institution, called
cooperative savings bank, a
composite of the mutual savings
banks and savings and loan asso-
Citations and cooperative banks of
the present time.
Explaining what the chief func-
tions of the Cooperative Savings
Bank of the 1905 will be. as he
sees them, the author says the first
major function is 10 teach people
TO save. The second major Junction.
is the financing OF homes. and the
third is the building and operation
of apartment buildings for low
income families and for those few
who have to have public phiian-
thropy."
