AN OLD TEAM

Pouliot and Bryant are an old
team from way back. They first
came together aboard the old
R-boat Bernida in 1927. and not
only won the race but were first
across the line. They have sailed
many a Mackinac queen TO victory
since then and Mink will be
closely watched ship in the go
mile race.
The new canvas. so 20 speak,
lifts Mink face. This is her seth
season ahoat for the New York
30. She'll be the oldest boat in
the race, but the rest Of the boys
know that for speed she's eyer
youthful.
Bryant was needed aboard Mink
as Johnny Pottle light canvas
man aboard her almost from the
minute she came 10 town in 1885,
couldn't make the trip.
Ted Buttrick. John Joseph Pran=
dergaSt. Tommy Lott and Robert
Kerr are other members of her
crew.
The other is boats were making
their way up across Lake st.
Clair and the St Clair River to-
day for the rendezvous tonight in
Black River.
Perez Williamson. skipper OF
Rainbow " in the cruising class,
announced that Jack Langfelder,
Stanley Bub' Davis, Al Gonas,

Tor interna, ! sterilization; the
British government has the Keynes
plan.
None Of these projects, treasury
officials said to me, which vitality af-
feet the postwar movements of trade
and capital, can be intelligibly
planned and certainly cannot be put
into effect without adequate knowl-
edge of the value and type of United
States interests and the number and
character Of the persons having
those interests.
Many other important business
negotiations such as private loans
to foreign countries, direct invest
ments by American corporations,
furthering the good neighbor policy,
will be affected by the informa-
ton in the governments hands. For
instance, if the government can say
definitely that in a certain area there
is very little capital invested in a
certain type Of enterprise and it is
known such an enterprise might be
enlarged there, the government
might be able to encourage com.
panies with foreign experience to
develop such an enterprise.

Praises Big National Debt

Stuart Chase an economic authority has
pleted survey for the Twentieth Century Fund and
of two hundred billion to three hundred billion dollars
He asserts that "a public debt be used to bring
parttime economy up to full employment, to check in
keep the dollar circuit turning at the necessary
rate"
The logical question is, "Why haven't managed
somehow to get public debt of sufficient size to obtain
these benefits which would have been delightful in the
depressions of the twenties and thirties?"
Mr. Chase, however, makes the point, which has
been made before, that national debt is internally
sheet.
Nearly everybody has invested in it and IF by
miracle the debt paid off tomorrow should have
ton books again. lest the whole financial structure col
lapse"

Honesty seems to be so obviously
right that one might expect it always
and everywhere-if bitter expert
ence had not indicated the opposite
to be true.
AS a matter of fact. dishonesty
has become so common that a per-
son who is strictly honest is a bit of
a novelty. Some even think he is
peculiar.
Under such circumstances the
Christian needs to be vigilant lest
he also accommodate his own ideas
of honesty and begin to justify little
evasions rather than being absolute
ly upright.
The teaching Of Scripture on this
matter is very plain.
i. Honesty and Fair Dealing
(Exod. 20:15; Lev. 1911, 49,.
The very commandment against
stealing implies that men have a
right to that which they have made,
earned, or saved. If no one had
property rights there could be no
stealing. Some of our modern isms
deny such rights, but their reason
ing is clearly not biblical or Chris
tan.
Thou shalt not steal" forbids ev-
cry kind of theft, and the passages
from Leviticus indicate that this in
cludes more than robbery or ordi-
nary stealing.
1t relates to every kind of false
dealing with another, such as op-
preston or the Withholding of just
wages. That, too. is stealing in
Gods sight.
Perhaps we ought to be more spe-
cific and apply the truth to our own
day. Stealing includes such things
as loafing on ones job, borrowing"
money from the cash drawer, TAX
ing goods from the stock with which
one Is working, stealing another
mans sermon and preaching it as
ones own, lifting material out OF
another mans book without credit,
contracting debts which one can
never pay, using false weights and
measures, adulterating food or 9TH
er material. watering" milk for
sale, selling worthless stock. lodging
taxes or lvi~~ 20 the tax assessor,

The MoscotD Conference

Washington correspondents for the
press associations and some Of the
country's metropolitan dailies as
well as the network broadcasters
lived on needles and pins for more
than a day and a half before the
news of the agreements reached at
Moscow were released.
There have been many bad leak
ages in advance of important inter-
national events recently. The state
department, the Office of War In
formation and the Office of Censor
ship have done their best to protect
American newspapers and radio
against these violations of prema-
ture release Of important stories
involving foreign countries. The
leaks usually have come through
foreign officials who whisper a
few hints to some Of their news
men friends. They also sometimes
occur when news dispatches, radioed
in advance for later release, are
picked up by the enemy or are d.
vulged in neutral countries.
Every effort was made to prevent
such leaks in connection with the
Moscow conference The question
Of safety Of the lives of British and
American negotiators was involved
II was feared that if the fact that
the conference was over was pub
licly revealed, the enemy might be
on the watch to shoot down the
planes carrying Secretary of State
Hull and British Foreign Minister
Eden and their parties.
Some of US who were affected.
learned on the Saturday before the
Monday of their official release that
copies of the agreements had
reached the state department earli-
err. We had guessed as much since
the President commented on the
success Of the agreement the day
before in his press and radio con-
ference. We were told we would
receive copies as far in advance as
possible which meant that someone
representing the various news agen-
cies and networks had to be on duty
day and night. Finally, the word
came Monday morning that the mes
sages were available and they were
given out at ten o'clock for release
at one o'clock. We, therefore. had
three hours in which to digest the
FIVE separate documents.
Fortunately for me. the one
o'clock release made it possible for
me to report the story a minute and
10 seconds after it was given out on
my one o'clock network broadcast.

or usii instead of a nick

payment.
One might add gambling (Which is
taking another mans property by
skill or by chance), making an I'M
duly large profit on the labor Of an
other. making money out of the sor-
rows and failures of others, etc. To
be honest means to be fair-and that
has broad implications.
II. Honesty and Restoration duke
19:1-10).
The reality and thoroughness Of
Zacchaeus' conversion was indicat-
ed by his willingness to restore all
the money he had unjustly (but le-
gally, note thatD taken from his fell
low citizens-and that in fourfold
measure
Insofar as it is possible to do so,
the honest person will make right
any known injustice. To be right
with God must mean that we are to
be right with men. The testimony
of many Christians could be pre-
sented to show that they have only
entered upon real peace and use
fulness as they have made consist
ent effort to right every wrong. to
pay every debt.
Often such actions open opportu-
mites for Christian testimony and
point others to the redemption in
Christ, which makes a man live
right as well as talk right.
III. Honesty and Religion Luke
19:45, 46).
One might think it unnecessary to
urge honesty upon religious folk.
They ought to be honest. But here
we see in sharp contrast to the
quick honesty and restitution of Fac
chaeus, the stubborn disobedience
and dishonesty of the priests in the
temple. Jesus had already cleansed
the temple of the traffic in money
changing and the sale of animals for
sacrifice practiced there (see John
2:13-lO. On that occasion He re-
buked them because they made His
Fathers house "a house of mer-
chandise."
Had they known the change Of
heart Of converted Zacchaeus they
would have needed His admonition.
But they did not believe in Christ
and went on with their ungodly desc
Grafton of the temple area until it
became "a den of thieves ". 49,.
What happened so long ago needs
application to our present day. So
apt is the quotation from the Les
son Commentary which we have
used before that we repeat it now.
Speaking of 1.-THE goings on in our
own churches" the writer says, rs
a church honest when it assumes OBJ
legations that it cannot meet, and is
then forced to use all sorts of ques-
tionable means to raise money for
the benefit of the church? Is a
church honest when it turns build
ing consecrated to the worship of
God into restaurant or a theater?
Is church honest that turns its
pulpit into lecture platform for the
of current events or the
review Of popular books or plays?"

Peaches, Peas and Catsup

Housewives, hearing that the War Food Admins
traon is releasing 100000 of peaches peas and
tomato catsup may jump to>he conclusion that this
proves that the Government greedy in securing large
stocks of food
1t is probably the truth to state that the
Government, in acquiring foodstuffs for the armed
forces, compelled to guard against possible short
and that before releasing food had to be certain
that 1943 crops would be ample for all needs.
The explanation is that the foods are portion of
the reserves owned and held by to meet possible
emergency requirements Now that they not needed
the Gamers permitted to sell them in regular
mercal channels.

with those of other G. tries. Thei.
plans are well formulated to protect
and develop these investments. Our
government believes we should not
be less wNMi informed.
This official had a particular rea-
son in discussing this situation with
me.
First, he wanted to stimulate the
people who had received Form TFR-
500 in giving as complete a report
as possible.
Second, he desired wide publicity
in the hope that other American citi-
zens, individuals, corporations, exec
utives of estates, trustees of charita.
BILE organizations who might be able
to furnish the information desired,
would get in touch with the treasury
department and turn it over to the
government.
Rehabilitation
Aside from it's value to military
men, the facts are exceedingly i'm
portant to the Allied officials who
are administering rehabilitation in
occupied countries. If they know
about a plant that has certain pro-
duction facilities or trained people
who can be used in producing what
they desire, it greatly helps their
work. 1t has proved in Sicily, and
will prove in Italy, of great value to
the Allied administrators to get in
formation concerning the citizens so
that they can pick those who are of
known non-Fascist leanings to CO.
operate with them.
The information also, of course,
is exceedingly valuable to many of
the government departments.
Claims for Damage
Another thing that the state de-
partment is called upon to do is to
assist citizens in getting back their
property in countries that have been
affected by the war. Also there Is
the question of claims for damage
to American property.
There are more than 100 people in
the state department alone who are
now working on postwar plans. One
of the most important phases Of this
work is the reopening Of trade with
the war areas as well as the rest of
the world. Of course, the terms I'M
der which the trade is reopened may
depend on the industrial possibilities
OF the various areas; and how soon
the controls of foreign exchange can
be dropped will depend, in a large
part, on the extent of the U. S. and
other foreign holdings of the obliga-
tons of the country in question. All
this will affect our exporters here
as well as American interests in
foreign countries.
The treasury department, as you
know, has drawn up the w. te plan

Government Asks Reports
On i. 5. Holdings Abroad
Form TfR-500 Supplies Valuable Informa-
ton Concerning American Stake in For
eign Lands, Aids Reconstruction.
By BAUKHAGE
NelUs analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, d. G.
When Paratrooper Jones landed
"plop" in the midst Of field he had
never heard of in a country he had
only read about in books, he was
able to lead his comrades direct to
a certain building whose purpose,
Importance, construction and con-
tents, almost down to the last nut
and bolt, were all known in detail
by the American high command.
Paratrooper Jones knew just where
to get to the point he wanted to leave
his dynamite and General Smith, at
the headquarters, knew exactly the
damage that would result to the
enemy when that dynamite went off.
Neither would have had that in
formation if a worried banker in
Bingville, U. S. A., hadn't painstak-
inglX filed out Form TFR-50O which
the treasury department had sent
him.
The information asked for con-
cerned American investments in for
eign lands, and the information the
government got back made it pos
sible for it to get the detailed blue
prints Of the factory that Jones blew
up from the American firm which
had built it and, in this case, the
construction engineer who had
bossed the job.
The function of these annoying
TRF-500's which have already locat.
ed American investments in 100
countries. the largest single one of
which is seven million dollars and
the smallest forty dollars, serves
other exceedingly useful, If not as
dramatic, purposes.
Other Functions
One government official pointed
out to me another important func-
ton this information plays in nom
military wartime activities. He said:
THE more complete information
the government has on the total
American stake abroad, the more
successful will be the efforts of our
forces on the fighting fronts. the
more quickly will the Allied Mill
tary Government be able to restore
civilian activities in reoccupied
areas. the better equipped our repre-
sentatives will be to safeguard the
interests Of the American people
during the peace table discussions,
and the sounder will be the working
out of postwar policies in the field
of International economic relation
ships.
This survey of American invest
ments abroad is an instrument of
vital importance to the future of this
country. Most other world powers
have long since collected similar in
formation. They not only know the
holdings of their own nationals all
er the world. but their relations

Two rcSprcsenta from the
