 THE TRUE STANDARD
 The tendency among us is Go judge our cause by the wickedness of our enemies. This iB c com. fortable standard of morality for iE Is never dimcult to lind someone more wicked than oirselves. But how illogical it is Co believe that because another is worse than we ourselves are just, that b cause our enemies are evil we are angels Of light. The standard which must be the rule of Q moral Judgment is the standard of Gods Justice, and we as creatures of Oca must judge ourselves by the lew Of God.
 The pharisee went into the Temple, judged himself by his fel- lowrnei1 and gave thanks to God that he was not as they. The Pubs lican judged himself by the law of God and saw himself Q sinner, Christ told us that he and not the Pharisee went to his home justified. WAR IS A PUNISHMENT
 If we judge ourselves by the standard of God we cannot but see this war as Q judgment of God upon us as well as upon our enea mics. This is not Q popular notion. People do not like to Do told it. But in the justice of God it must be 50.
 If we jump of the 6oth floor of @ building we must expec. the re suit. If we drink poison we know that our death will follow. That Is the physical law of nature. But such, too, is the moral law of fla- ture and natures God. Sin must be punished and if Q nation offends against God, ignores God or def1es God, the sin will be punished.
 As st. Paul says: "Be nos dee ceived, God is not mocked. For what things @ man shall SOW, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting"
 ATHEISM IS LIKE TREASON
 Years ago . famous churchman who saw this war as inevitable pre- dicted that 1t would Do waged against men freed from the re. styaint of morality and religion. These would make war with such iahuInanity, they would prove such threat to the fundamentals oS our civilization that religion and mos rality would be cultivated by free men in sheer defense.
 There are some signs that that Is happening. Tn America there are signs of Q growing feeling among dod-tearing people that atheism is kind of treason, that only Q man who believes in God can make any, thing out of the Declaration of ins dependence, the Constitution of the United States, that only Q humble servant of God can talk about true liberty, human dignity and the four freedoms.
 Here is . ray of hope. This war is shaking our country to It's foun- dations. More blood will flow and more tears will be shed. But God is not far away. If men turn to Him, find Him and adore Him tho sacrifice will not be in vain.

CIO Petitioning For
 Action On Nurseries
Chase Unit Asks Aldermen to Obtain Allotted Federal
 Funds or Provide Local Appropriation

flcers, asked the city government to renew its previous appeal for federal funds for the child pro" gram. With the increasing mum" Der of women going in to war plants, the union heads stated, the problem of proper care and atten- ton for the children of the. women workers is intensifying daily.
 Tn the event the city is unable to obtain government funds for the nursery program. the union leaders urged, the city itself is asked to provide a budget with which to operate child centers with trained personnel. A survey of existing fa- cilities which might be used as nursery centers was also requested of the city officials.
 Under provisions of the Lanham Act, federal funds have been made available for such day nurseries, and the CIO union expressed the opin- ion that surveys of those war-pro- dllction centers where public nursery program exists would show increased production as well as in- creased morale among women war workers. The CLOS request was made by William Stanton, presi- dent, and Antonio Napoli, financial ascretary, of the Chase unit.
 A similar request for funds was made several months ago through the Waterbury board of education and the Waterbury Chlld Care com mittee. At that time 1t seemed probable that the city might re- celve Q grant of funds for the work. Since that time however, there has been no further word on the matter.

De Kauffmann
AddressesClub

Denmark's full cooperation with
the United Nations in a postwar
program to secure world peace may
be considered assured, the Danish
Minister, Henrik de Kaufman, de-
clared yesterday in talk before the
Women's National Democratic Club
Mr.. de Kaufman. who assumed
responsibility in granting the United
Nations right to military occupation
Of Greenland following the Nazi oc-
cupation Of his country. said his
nation even would be willing to cur.
tail some of its sovereign rights fol-
lowing the war in an effort to co.
operate in program for worlo
peace.
THE average Dane has always
believed in international co-opera
tion," he declared. I'VE believe the
only possible way to build better
world is to learn to live together
to give and take and to respect the
other mans view whether we fully
agree or not"
The Minister explained his as
sumption of sovereign rights" in
the Greenland negotiations following
Denmarks invasion
Our King and the government
were caught in a trap he said
Our government and our King are
not a free people. So I decided to
follow my own conscience since the
day of the invasion"
Mr.. de Kaufman told of silent
but continued resistance to German
rule from the time of the invasion
to a recent order by Hitler for "liq-
uidation" of the Danish Jews.
In spite of the Gestapo. many
Jews have been saved and SNUG
gled into Sweden by Danish patri-
OTIS he added.
There are only about 5000 Jews
in Denmark" he explained. They
have PLAYED an important role in
the life Of the nation and are con-
sldered as good citizens as other
Danes"
Denmark's dairy and agricultural
activities have been allowed to con-
tlnue under Nazi rule, the Minister
said, and while the larger part of
the production has gone to Ger
many. the Danes have been per-
mitted sufficient for home use. This
he predicted, will ~ lonoc" be
allowed since the complete domina-
ton OF the Nazis last Angus.
We know after the war we'll have
to start from scratch again" he
concluded. But we're stubborn
people and no matter how long we
suffer the Nazi rule, it will never
break our spirit"

Budapest Quartet
Gives Postponed
Library Concert
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

| The tWlce-deferred program OF
chamber music by the Budapest
String Quartet was given finally at
the Library of Congress last night,
and will be repeated this evening
The concerts were planned originally
for two dates in the middle of last
month, postponed until the next
week and then called off with no
date set. Illness of all four men,
bers of the string quartet following
concert tour in the West was re-
sponsible for the cancellations, but
the playing Of the artists last night
showed no effects Of their, in two
cases, serious indisposition. The
program remained the same as first
announced and was presented under
the Gertrude Clarke Whittall Foun-
dation.
AS arranged, the selections were
chosen with the magnificent Schu-
bert Quintet in c Major, Op. 1853, u
as climax. The Budapest ensemble
was assisted by Benar Heifetz, cell
ist, in this and the Boccherini
Quintet in E Flat, Op. IL, No. o.
Dividing these two works was Bee
thoven's Quartet in A Major, Op. 10
No. S." for the well-known foursome
alone.
The character of both the Boo
cherini Quintet" and the Beethoven
Quartet" was complete foil for
the moving grandeur of the Schu-
bert. The charm of Boccherini' S
writing is indisputable and fully ev-
ident in the elegant and gay "Quin-
| tet" with which the program opened
His aptitude in mood creation was
confined to two styles, a tender
poetic one in the amoroso and men,
uett, both played with muted strings
and a lively, vigorous one in the
smoothness of craftsmanship and
sophisticated refinement delighted
the ear If it did not wholly satisfy
the mind
Beethoven's Fifth Quartet in
Opus 18" was written about a quar-
ter of century after Boccherini's
Quintet" and generally is sup
posed to be an homage to Mozart.
The link is close between these two
composers through Mozart. whose
indebtedness to the genius of Haydn
was of equal proportions TO Boo
lcherinis admiration Of the master
Beethoven makes no pretense in this
Quartet of reaching into the
depths of his own nature for ma
terial, but writes with a light and
casual touch. The play OF his fan
tasy is exercised particularly in the
andante cantabile. with its theme
and variations. The loveliness of
this theme is exploited and embel-
lished five times, the final variation
being especially appealing for its
rhythm and exuberance.
Both the preceding numbers were
as trifles compared to the last cham

Brewster Lays
Miners Strike
To Politics.
BY Gretchen Smith,

II American miners could properly
picture the sufferings and sacrifices
OF American fighting men In the
jungles and swamps OF the South
Pacific, they could not possibly par
ticipate in the present national
paralysis" Senator Brewster, Re-
publican, of Maine declared yester-
day.
In an address before the League
Of Republican Women the Senator
who recently returned with four
other members of Senate commit
tee from a trip via air to the battle
fronts around the world, charged
politics with the responsibility Of
the present coal strike.
"T'he country is the innocent by
stander in what appears to be
finish fight" he said. Five hundred
thousand miners are demanding re-
payment of the s500,000 advance
made by indirection to the Roose-
welt campaign fund Of 1896. This
seems to be the penalty when fellow
travellers fall out" he added.
Describes MacArthur's Task.
Senator Brewster described the
almost insurmountable difficulties
overcome by Gen. Macarthur and
his men in a jungle fighting in
comprehensive to us" and said that
wherever he went the chief con-
cern of the fighting men is what
is being done at home with the war
effort.
The boys in the South Pacific
will find it difficult to understand"
he asserted. "A proper understand
ing of what it means to those on
the fighting fronts to have work
cease here at home in the produc-
ton Of commodities vital to the war
effort would very quickly bring
about change.
Many of the miners must have
boys overseas" the Senator COM
mented, land they cannot want to
withhold any possible aid in the
terrific struggle in which they are
engaged"
Hits Lack of Information.
Lack OF proper information by
the American public on economic
and geographic matters of national
concern also was charged by Sena-
tor Brewster. The United States.
he declared, too long believed it
was insulated from the outside
world by two oceans and conse-
quently has had inadequate repre-
sentation Of its interests abroad.
With millions invested in military
alrports throughout the world, the
United States will not have a single
airport outside the Western Hemi-
sphere to land plane six months
following the peace" he added.
Adequate commercial and diplo-
matte representation abroad is es-
sentlal for the United States to take
her part in keeping the peace in
this great world Senator Brewster
concluded.
The speaker was introduced bv
Mrs. Edward E. Gam, the president.
Preceding the address, an appeal
for volunteers for Red Cross camp
and hospital service was made by
Mrs. Arthur Vandenberg a volun-
teer member of the Red Gross and
member of the League.
