Nv. Cleansing wv. 40-45).
There is sense in which the
cleansing of the leper was another
act of healing, but leprosy is such
striking type of sin that the Incl
dent calls for special consideration.
Leprosy is like sin in that it is a
destructive malady that pursues its
insidious way without revealing its
true nature until it is far advanced.
1t renders a man unclean, loath-
some to himself and dangerous to
others. At least such it was in the
days of our Lord.
Was there. then no hope for the
leper? Yes; Jesus had come. The
smitten man cried out IF thu,
wilt, thou canst make me clean"
And Jesus said, II will and
he was cleansed."
So may the sinner be cleansed.
for 'whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved
(Rom. 1913. He will not turn the
vilest of men away, for He came
Ito seek and to save that which
was lost" duke 1910.
There is another important lesson
here. The man who was cleansed
disobeyed the instructions of Jesus
". Az, with the result that the
Lords ministry in that place was
greatly limited. =
We should obey the commands of
God without question, and without
any deviation from them. Disobedi-
ence, even though it be by reason
of great joy and enthusiasm, results
in confusion. Our Lord knows ex-
actly what should be done in a par
ticular place at certain time. When
He guides, we should conform-for
our own good and His glory.

Realistic Attitude Marks
Change in Allied Diplomacy
New Journey Into international Cooperation
Combines ldeaIism and Realism; Step
Away From Old Style Power Alliances.
BY BAUKHAGE
NelUs Analyst and Commentate

looking for trouble were gratified
that he revealed no new concrete de-
velopments. The objective reporter
got his quota of news. for everything
a President says is that.
But the two remarks of the Presi-
dent stood out in my mind-the one
/ mentioned (realism) and another,
made almost as soon as the last of
us had squeezed into the crowded
oval Office, and they were, / be-
lieve, most revealing as far as our
future foreign policy goes.
Those in the first row had time to
take in the Presidents cheerful and
informal appearance-the colored
shirt and the pull-over sweater
which he had worn on his trip-and
which, because Of one meeting fol-
lowing another from the moment he
arrived at the White House, he still
wore. He had been on the job since
$3.50 a. NIT was then after four.
AS soon as the signal that the
last reporter was in the room was
given, the President began to speak
of the success of the trip. and he
said that those who shared with him

ton that there would not be another
war while this generation lives.
must admit that the words at
first struck me a little coldly-
while this generation lives" Not
much long-range optimism there,
thought. But afterward and since
his later announcements, general
though they have been. I feel a lit
tie better about it. 1t seems to me
that perhaps we are at last en-
barked upon an adventure in inter-
national cooperation with enough
idealism to keep our eyes on the
heavens and enough realism to keep
our feet on the ground. That Is my
New Years hope and wish.

Heavy Casualties Ahead

The happy illusion of the people of this country
that they whip Germany and Japan without suf-
ferng heavy casualties is responsible for the warning
from Washington preparing the people for terrible
battle casualties.
The Associated Press quotes of the nations
highest executives as predicting that casualties will
jump from $4,000 to more than 100000 in the next
three months.
This means extremely heavy fighting is at hand.
1t also means that the enemy will be on the receiving
end of some hard blows and that what may, the
Axis casualty list will grow.

What kind Of a man is Stain?
That question was put to President
Roosevelt at the White House press
and radio conference on the day Of
his return to Washington from Eu-
rope. He was tanned, alert. cheer
full, still pulsing with the conscious
ness of achievement. His answer,
which came without seconds hesi-
tation, l thought. was significant.
Stain, he said, was a realist, just
like himself.
am not particularly interested in
the accuracy Of that answer. either
as an analysis of Stain or self
analysis of the President. But to me
the fact that the President chose
realism as the outstanding and COM
mon characteristic of himself and
the man on whose word and deed
so much of the future depends. was.
think, significant.
On the whole, in the light of later
announcements, use Of that term
seems a good omen rather than a
bad one.
Mr.. Roosevelt is committed to
plan for the postwar world which
leans toward the ideal, rather than
toward the old style diplomatic
realism" which is nothing but TOOTH
and-claw tactics behind laundered
facade Of protocol. / think the
American people have shown plainly
that they are more interested In
stopping-or at least postponing-
wars than they are in the slogans Of
the isolationists or the imperialists
Granted that, the fact that Roose-
welt emphasizes the ''realist' side
when he speaks, gives one feeling
that he and Stain and Churchill
have been able to reach some rough
agreements that are practical
enough to work, and yet are a little
less earthly than the old power alli-
ances, which always end in wars
and always will.
The Conference
l recall very well that crowded
news conference for which friend
and foe alike turned out to see what
the President looked like after his
trip. One hundred and seventy-nine
working press and radio correspond
ents were there. not counting off,
Gals. The innocent expected some
hot, inside stuff; the cynical hoped
the President would reveal errors
by concealing them; the average re-
porter knew it was going to be a

Congratulations From Luftwaffe

The Associated Press recently reported that the

The ActiUe Element

But the party in power is the &C.
tive element, it makes news because
it does things. The minority merely
objects. We report what is done.
Not because we approve or disap-
prove Of what is done but because
that is concrete act. The opposi-
ton can do little more than oppose.
That is negative. We know that il
the opposition were in power, it
might do the same thing, and the
party in power. which would then
be the minority. would object.
That is hard for the partisan lay
nan to understand. We know that
We have ideas, too, and the party in
power usually has some pretty good
ones which the minority has to OBJ
ject to, merely on party grounds.
Not being of either party we, the
reporters, may also become parti-
sans not really of the party but of
some Of the party's ideas.
1t is hard to make some people
believe that we are not partisan

Nonsense

bill was recently introduced in Congress to re-
quire the government to spend $30000,000 for
paper advertising.
One of the arguments used against the measure
was that its passage would corrupt the press This is
nonsense. If the government corrupt the press by
spending $30000,000 what can a reader expect when
business spends many times that sum?

The reas. am worrleu now is
because l hear so many people talk
about the things 1.-The Washington
correspondent" writes-or says on
the radio-as gospel. Well, most Of
us try to report what we see and
hear. We don't always know wheth-
er it is true or false. We just try
to tell you about it. Most of us label
what we know and what we think.
Some do not.
Sometimes when we talk with peo-
pie we think really ought to know,
we report what they say with a lit
tie more confidence. If we can't
quote the Brass Hat" or the cabi-
net officer or the senator who told
US this or that we say authoritative
quoters." We are supposed to know
from experience whether what we
hear is sound fact or just wishful
thinking.
The longer we live, the better we
are able to judge between the real
people and the phonies. Most old
timers in the government don't try
to fool reporters because they know
they can only do that once. Maybe
twice.
You know the old Scotch proverb:
IF he cheats you once, shame on
him; If he cheats you twice, shame
on you"
Many people think that unless we
attack the party in power, we must
be in favor of it. That isn't true.
We know, as the old bull said, "One
COW is much as another" We know
that despite the different party re-
gala politicians display. they are
really pretty much alike once they
get into office-not as good as they
might be for the most part, seldom
as bad as the opposition paints them.

Coal consumers in this section this

buy and store maximum amounts
of coal during the summer months
in anticipation of a serious deficit
in supply the coming year. Dealers
said information from the war pro-

uation is far more serious than the
last two years, when early buying
also was urged. A deficit in coal
production of at least 25,000,0OO tons
is forecast for the coming year. 1t
will be even larger if manpower in

Seed Demands Are

Montana growers of alfalfa, red

extension agronomist at Montana
State college, to harvest every pos

crops this year.
Several factors, he said. have con-

for seed, chief among them being
the feed requirements for the
greatly increased livestock popula-
ton. competition offered by other
crops that give higher returns per
acre, and shortage of machinery

He reminds growers that support
prices have been placed on legume
and grass seed to encourage in
creased production.
