We're We Informed?

On January 20, Secretary of State Cordell Hull and

cast The State Department Speaks Both used prepared
statements subject that is rapidly assuming 'front.'

people properly informed of the menace con-
fronting the country in the years prior to 1941.
Senator Vandenburg declared that neither Congress
the country properly informed about the rea
ties that sweeping toward inevitable war; The
Senator said he that the Japanese attack
Pearl Harbor not "one-tenth much of surprise
to the President and the State Department it
to the House and Senate and the country
Mr.. Hull replied that the tragedy of our prePearl
Harbor situation twas not the result of lack of
ing about approaching dangers.
'"The President and l. and other responsible Off
Gals" said Mr. Hull ibid everything could by utter
and acts to make clear and emphasize these grow
ing dangers. If these repeated warnings failed to i'm
press of people, can only explain such failure
by the fact that during that PERIOD too many of
people profoundly believed that serious danger from
foreign did could threaten this country and that
about all the nation had to do to keep out of to
stay at home and mind its own business"
Mr.. Hull no doubt sincerely believes in the view
point expressed in his reply to Senator Vandenburg But
cannot help wishing that the perils confronting
country and the need for big sticks preparedness had
been strongly emphasized by responsible officials in
the period before 1941 were the WPA, PWA, AAA,

FAC Draws Up Plans for

Expanded Production, Increased Trade

Ne.us ANALYST and Commentato,

que feel that we ought to do
what we can to help out people who
are starving or freezing no matter
where they are. I say that adj
visably and for proof turn to the
record.
One Of the earliest memories of
my childhood is tagging up Main
Street on my mothers hand and see-
ing dishpan in front of the Silver
Dollar" mot the original filed with
dollar bills. My mother dropped in
a quarter and hurried past the sin
lister abode. Passersby tossed in
their currency for the sufferers of
some Chinese famine or Italian
earthquake (perhaps Pompeii and
Herculaneum, don't recalD.
America is always willing to go
down deep in its pockets for relief"
But it doesn't seem to like it If gov
eminent runs the show. Nobody on
Main Street knew how much of the
dishpan's contents reached the quak-
ing Italians or what-have-you and
how much never got past the Silver
Dollars" back room, but nobody
cared.
On the other hand, even when the
money is triple checked by the gov
eminent and Investigated by the
opposition, if it is taken out of the
general kitty. Americans don't like
it. That's playing Santa Claus. When
they can shell out individually, it's
all right-which may be perfectly
logical from a psychological view
point.
However this may be, your gov.
eminent is going right ahead and
preparing a program for taking out
the wrinkles and concealing the ribs

"Inside A Cage With A Tiger"

when you working inside cage with tiger
your technique has to be quite different from that of
the independent and carefree critic standing safely out
side" says Robert Murphy in defending his dealings
with socalled French Vichytes preliminary to the in
vasion of North Africa.
Mr.. Murphy repeats what nearly everybody now
recognizes that the deal made with Darlan and others
saved the lives of thousands of American and British
fighting men. This, in ITSELF is complete justification
of what happened in the preliminary stages of the in
vasion.
Pointing out that Admiral Darlan controlled 100000
French troops and that General De Gaule had only
handful Mr. Murphy says that actual losses, result
of the DEAL about one-seventh of what the Army
and Navy expected.
1t would seem logical for the fathers mothers wives
and sweetherts of the thousands of Americans whose
lives spared to appreciate the activity that led to
an agreement with the French Admiral who by the
admission of officers rendered very practical assist
ance to the Allied cause.

The vision Of the mountain top
prepares the believer for service
down In the valley. Where there is
no vision the people perish" said the
wise man Of old prov. 9:18). For
want Of true vision of God, a
knowledge of His truth, and the God
given constraint which makes men
give themselves in sacri6cial serv-
ice, the people will perish in their
sins.
But let men come to know the
truth as it is in Christ, learn to know
Him as the Son of God glorious
and powerful, and then let them
translate their knowledge of Chris
tan truth and their personal spiritu-
al experiences into the daily minis
try to the needs Of their fellow men,
and there will be songs of salvation
and Joy.

The TRANSPORTATION of Christ
doubtless meant much to Him in
preparation for His coming death
and resurrection. It was a FORE
CLEAN Of His kingdom glory.
In this lesson we are concerned
with the experience Of the disciples
rather than the feelings of our Lord.
Fundamental in both Christian life
and service Is clear understanding
Of the person and work Of Christ.
One may come to Christ knowing
little more than that He is the di-
vine Saviour, and one may enter
into Christian living with a meager
knowledge Of the doctrines of the
Bible. But the Christian who fails to
grow In knowledge will not grow in
grace as he should.
God sets no premium on igno-
rance, In fact 1t is quite evident that
the great blight on the Christian
church today is the appalling lack
of understanding of Gods Word.
The disciples came to a fuller con-
viction that He was the Son Of God
as they saw Him TRANSPORTED and
heard the Father say. This is my
beloved Son." They learned more
plainly the truth of His coming death
for the sins of all mankind. They

coming E nat important truths
these are las deity-His redemp-
tion-His coming kingship. Do we
have clear grasp of these truths?
If not. let us search the Scriptures.
ii. Growing w. 81.
Jesus only" He filed their
vision and their hearts. They had
made spiritual progress as they had
seen His glory and heard the COM
mending voice of the Father.
Great experiences of spiritual re-
newing and power are necessary to
effective life and testimony. They
may not be in outward manifesto
ton, in fact they are more often in
the inner recesses of the soul; but
they transform men and send them
forth to magnificent living for God.
One wonders if much of the dearth
of power in the Christian church is
not to be attributed directly to the
lack Of such experiences with God.
The disciples had an unforgettable
mountaintop experience. Even so
have many others found the secret
Of power.
Let us remember that such privi-
leges are not reserved for a few,
they are the birthright Of every
Christian. Power without knowledge
is a dangerous and destructive thing,
but knowledge without power is a
dead thing.
Let us study Gods Word. but let
the truth be baptized in the over
flowing spiritual power of personal
experience with God
In regeneration all that Christ is
and has for US is made available.
II we have not taken out our inheri-
lance let us do it at once.
III. Serving wv. 17-2T.
One of the lessons that seems hard
to learn and to keep constantly eff
fective in the life of a Christian is
that mountaintop experiences of
spiritual uplift are not an end in
themselves. but preparation for
service. All too often we come to
regard such times Of peculiar bless
ing, whether in the privacy Of our
own room or in the great confer
ence Of Christian workers, as some
thing which should glow warmly in
our own hearts, making US glad in
the Lord, and not as a preparation
for ministry to others.
Jesus and the disciples went up
to the place of prayer, into the place
Of glory. and down to the place of
service. How fitting is that Sc.
Quence.
Much confusion exists In the
church because those who have fool
ishly abandoned Gods Word and
substituted the energy of the flesh
for spiritual power have been most
diligent in service to humanity;
while those who know and accept
the truth about Christ, and who pro-
fess to believe in the power of the
Spirit-illed life, have failed to serve
their needy neighbors.
'But Jesus took him by the hand
and lifted him up ". ID. Verses

might have done the same by be-
