The W Washingt ion Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON Ct. Col Robert S. Allen now on active
 service with the Army)

WASHINGTON More inside facts in the tangled skein of Chi nese politics leading to the recent shake-up of Chiang Kai-shek's s Cabinet and the busting of Gen. Stilwell from his Far East com- mand can now be revealed.
 A showdown with China as to whether she was really going to fight Japan has been in the cards for a long time. Last July, this column reported that many Chinese war lords around Chiang would rather fight Britain and the United States than Japan. Since then, a comprehensive report has reached the White House giving details regarding the whole Chinese picture and certain suspicious re- lationships between the Japanese and some of those around the Generalissimo.
 For example, Wu Te-chen, Secre- tary General of the Koumintang Ca position similar to that of Bob Hannegan, chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee), still owns a large home on Avenue Hague in Shanghai, still collects rent for it through his own agent in the occupied areas, while his wife lives openly under the Japanese in Shanghai.
 Also, the wife of Gnu Chia-hua Kuomintang Minister of Organiza- ton, has travelled freely between Jap occupied and unoccupied China, apparently with the consent and cooperation of the Japs. Final ly, her goings and comings at- tracted so much attention that she was asked not to return to Chung

that already has been done in Ell

Freedom Is Spiritual Gift,
Christian Scientists Hold

While holding military might es-
sential to the victory OF allied ma
tions over the anti-Christ claims OF
Injustice and intolerance, The
Christian Science board of directors
told the recent annual meeting OF
The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton. Massachusetts,, that freedom
is essentially a spiritual gift Ito be
realized only through spiritual un-
derstanding and attainment"
Before an audience of several
thousand Christian Scientists es-
sentially local in character cue to
wartime restrictions upon trans
portation, the directors cited the
universal determination to win the
peace as advance evidence of a
world wide realization that right
eous victory under arms will not
suffice to guarantee freedom to
MANKIND
COMING TO KNOW
That the world is coming to real
ize this fact was seen by the direc-
tors in the careful consideration
being given throughout the world
to winning the peace, that Is, max
ing world peace so secure that other
wars will be precluded. Let our
prayers for our dear ones who are
in service, our prayers for our
church, our nation, and for all
mankind, find consistent express
sion in our everyday lives. Let us
see that the triumph of Truth over
error with us is sure sign that
the victory of good over all evil is
assured, and that 1.-The kingdom of
God is at hand"
The directors statement high
lighted reports to the third annual
meeting of The Mother Church held
under wartime conditions which
cited increasing evidence of church
growth and activity, and unprec-
edented demands for the works of
Mary Baker Eddy and The Chris
tian Science Monitor.
At the same time, transporta-
ton problems and material short
ages were reported to have been
surmounted by The Christian Sci
ence Publishing Society and The
Christian Science Board of Lee
tureship. Two hundred thousand
periodicals were estimated to have
been delivered and received by
reading rooms in Great Britain with
only seven pieces lost in transit, and
occasional copies of Christian Sci
ence literature were said to have
found their way into some countries
of occupied Europe.
PRESIDENT NAMED
Announcement was made by the
directors of the appointment of
Paul Stark Seeley, of Cambridge,
Massachusetts, as President of The
Mother Church for the ensuing year,
succeeding Mrs. Daisette D. S. Nc
Kenzie.
THE problems we face are great,
but God is greater, far greater"
the new President affirmed. His
hold upon the universe is not shak-
en-. The ideas with which every one
of humanity's problems, individual
or collective. will be solved existed
before the problem appeared, for
as the prophet assures us, that
which is to be hath already been
:. We fear no problems at home
or abroad. AS the children of al
mighty Goo we accept their chal-
lenge as a demand that we use
more confidently the power of all
knowing Mind which is ever at
hand to reveal every step of the
way out of the thralldom of earth
into the freedom of Gods heaven. -

problems in transportation added
a dramatic touch to the report of
The Christian Science board of lee
tureship. At one time, army author
! tiles sent a special airplane on a
4OO-mile trip to enable Christian
/ Science lecturer to speak to men,
bers of the armed forces, the report
! stated. Two lecturers, instead OF the
usual one, were sent into Mexico
during the last year, and for the
first time in five years, American
members of the board were able to
celiyer lectures in Great Britain.
Despite the emergency rationing
of paper and other wartime re-
strictions, the trustees of The Chris
tian Science Publishing Society re-
vealed the largest circulation ever
attained by the leading Christian
Science periodicals, and Bible sales
were twice those of 1912.
In the report of the manager of
committees on publication, warm
ing was sounded that as public
thought becomes more socially
minded, a growing number of legis-
lative bills providing for sickness
or disability insurance poses a real
threat to the growth of our relig-
ion.
CHAPLAINS OVERSEAS
1t was disclosed that 13 of the
Christian Science army chaplains
are now stationed overseas, and
that one of these chaplains has
been honored with the Legion of
Merit for exceptionally meritorious
conduct and courage under fire,
which was an inspiration to the
entire command. His report further
pointed out that splendid spiritual
healing is being accomplished by
all of the chaplains.
The report of the Camp Welfare
Activities showed that 1000 War
Relief committees in Christian Sci
ence branch churches and societies
in the United States and Canada
are sending clothing in consider
able quantities to Great Britain,
Russia, Malta and Greece, and that
l45 wartime officiating ministers
are at work in the field for the
movement, along with 428 volunteer
Christian Science warime workers.
