this activity accounts for the

the defending team, Mrs. A. M.

Mrs. Peterson, who has won
this title three times in a row,
can always be counted upon for

one of Americas outstanding

shown today, North played the
king of diamonds on the open

EAST won with the ace. A club
was led and North won. The
diamond seven held the next
trick, but when North led his
last diamond, Mrs. Peterson won
with the queen, discarding low
hearts from dummy on both of
these tricks. When the estab-
lished clubs were played, South
was squeezed. He gave up one
spade, but could not discard an
other, so he parted with two
hearts. Mrs. Peterson went up
with the ace on the play of a
heart from dummy, dropping
South's queen, then returned
the nine. Thus she won three
clubs, two diamonds, two hearts
and two spades.

The failure to achieve, or the
loss of a positive, constructive
religious faith, is today having
ruinous personal results.
Irreligion leaves the best
areas of mans experience unac-
counted for. Every man has splr-
itual experiences that material
ism cannot explain. On the basis
of thoroughgoing ir r e Ii 81 o n,
what made Plato Plato, Bee
thoven, Christ Christ, is an &C
cidental by-product of merely
physical processes - "a curious
accident in a backwater." The
entire spiritual life of man, then,
involving whatever gives hui
mainly such distinction and dig
nifty as it possesses, Is miSfit in
the cosmos.
When any man feels that way
about life he faces distraction
at the very center of his person
atty. His best is a cosmic mis-
chance and misfit. He may de-
eide to stand by his best and he
may do we'll at it, but whenever
he turns his thought to the total
meaning of life, the sense of ul-
innate futility cannot be
escaped.
This disintegrating effect of
irreligion becomes more mani
fest when its ethical results APP
pea. A man of sensitive spirit
ual life may pass, by some COM
bined emotional and intellec-
tual route, into materialiStic
philosophy, but there he finds
himself facing profound per-
sonal schism. What in his ideal
ism he thinks ought TO be pulls
in one direction; what in his
philosophy he thinks really is
pulls in another. He thinks man
ought to be a high-minded, spir-
itual being, but he thinks man
basically is an animal, acciden-
tally produced.
This disintegrating effect OF
irreligion is apparent when at
tention is conferred on mans
opinion of himself. Schopcn-

REAL PERSON
BY DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSDlCK

SpSCh OIL llldlteT III lIlIlllte space
and infinite cold"
To be sure, man has many
ways of sustaining his self-es-
TEEN. His need of thinking high
ly of himself is so urgent that,
even when his total faith would
logically picture him as ridicu-
lous parasite, he manages to
make the most of every minor
justification he can find for self
appreciation.
In seeking satisfaction for that
desire man uses any support for
self-approbation he can find, but
the more thoughtful a person is,
the more his ultimate answer to
the question, Who am /? springs
from and shares the quality of
his total philosophy. To call man
a child of God" is doubtless a
metaphor, but so too is the state
ment that man is "a bundle of
cellular matter upon its way to
becoming manure" and both af-
firmations illustrate the neces-
Sary impact of ones basic faith,
not simply on ones thought
about the universe, but on ones
thought about oneself.
Any personality trying to live
a high life on the basis of a low
idea as to who he is, faces dis
traction at the center of his en-
deavor. Whatever else relig-
ious faith does, it sees man as
essentially spirit and not mat
ter; it regards him as a soul with
a body and not as a body with
accidental mental and spiritual
functions; it grounds his best in
eternal reality and teaches him
to esteem himself as a being of
divine origin, nature, and des-
tiny. Great religion furnishes
the most stimulating answer
ever given TO the question,
Who am | and the history of
religious experience at its best
is rich in illustrations of Adler's
statement, by changing our
opinion of ourselves we can also
change ourselves"
George Bernard Shaw de-
scribes an experience of his that
took "a mob of appetites and or
gained them into an army of
purposes and principles" This
process of organization, essential
to personal Wilderness, always
involves two elements, diScrimi-
nation and remuneration and is
never self-produced. 1t takes
positive faith TO get il started.
Some idea, cause. or person cap
lures our confidence and devo-
ton; we believe in some value
and gave ourselves TO it; and in
that act of faith we practise dis
elimination in its most pro-
foundry satisfying form, and re-
nunciation of our faiths oppo-
sites follows with a minimum of
strain.

A FAKE BOMBING3

1t has been suggested by the German journalist
Curt Rjess in his recent series Of articles 1.-THE Cor
poro vs. the Generals" thot the July q attempt on
HtIer's life was fromeup. The suggestion makes
excellent sense and to review accounts OF the event
only strengthens its logic.
Perhaps the best evidence Of fokey is in the
"seene of the crine," as revealed by Nozi photo
graph. The room where the bomb exploded is demoI-
ished Beams hang from the blasted ceiling, furni-
ture is blown to bits windows out, doors off their
hinges 1t is nconcevobe, in this setting Of utter
destruction where others we're killed and wounded,
that Hitler should have suffered only minor bruises
and burns and maybe compound multiple fracture
Of the scot Of his pants.
And where was Htler's bodyeuord? There's
nothing phony about that. ct eost) Did the alleged
bomber, Col. Count Klaus Won Stouffenberg, sneak
by the Gestopo remove popers from his bonb-looded
briefcose, then casually put it in such an unlikely
spot as under HitIers desk? Did he then leave with
no fear ttot someone would come running and shout
ing, riley, Herr Grof, you forgot your briefcose"'
Or did he remain, confident thot Providence would
protect him as we'll os Hitler from the bomb?
1t doesn't make sense As Mr.. Riess soys "Ger-
man generals no matter how brutal and ruthless
they are, do not plant bombs 1t would have
been too simple for one Of them to shoot
him."
How about the revolt thot was to follow the as
sossinoton? The pIotters moved too slowly and, as
Mr. Riess points out, the Gestopo moved too fost
According to the Nozi account, the pIotters made
first ottept to seize radio station Rather, they
went offer fonotieo|y Nozi bottoon Of guards
in Berlin. And if the Gestopo caught fotfooted,
as we ore supposed to believe, how did they happen
to head first for Ione-retred General Beck, and kill
him within 10 hours?
There comes time when there is one left to
purge except those who will weaken yourself. Thot
time has come for Hitler His best generals now
gone - those who might have managed his lost re-
treots with sennbIonce Of order and saving Of
lives.
Insteod, Hitler and the Nozis will surely end the
war in orgy Of blind bloody fury - costly to their
enemies, surely, but costly oIso to them in men and
in the growing, righteous vengeance Of on nfuoted

cy, FAC, which stands for Food
and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations-an interna-
tional trade association, inter-
ested in food production.
The proposal will probably be
kicked around good bit,
though there is nothing vicious
or seriously controversial about
it. Before FAC can even get OF
ficially born, its proposed con-
stitution will have TO be ratified
by 20 governments which will
agree to foot the bills. The pro-
posed cost to the United States
would be rs per cent of the total
at first, or an estimated $780,
900 a year for the first five
years.
Whatever controversy arises
will probably center around the
idea that the United States
should be asked to foot a fourth
of the bills, although it will get
only one vote. This is the usual
squaWk on all these agreements
when first presented, and in the
case of FAC, it will probably be
coupled with the notation tina.
the British would be assessed
only Is per cent of the cost, the
Russians 8 per cent; and that
six units of the British Empire
would have six votes, even
though together they would be
assessed with 81 per cent of the
cost.
WORLDWIDE DO-GOODER
Just what this Food and Agri-
culture Organization would be
empowered to do is little hard
to pin down, as it is still pretty
much in the nature of an inter-
national do-gooder. It would not
be a super-State, international
Department of Agriculture, nor
would the director general of
the executive committee in any
sense be world food car. FAC
would start out in life on
much more modest basis than
that. 1t would be empowered to
conduct research, collect Stats
tics and make recommendations
and that's about all.
1t would have no control over
world food production or diStri-
button. 1t would have no police
powers and no authority to dish
out punitive orders to nations
that did not live up to its rec
concentrations. Even its recon-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." they
are called in international par
lance would require ratifica-
ton by individual governments
before they would become bind
ing on any nation.
FITS IN WORLD PEACE
PLANS
The whole set-up as proposed
is therefore perfectly, harmless
and the potential good that it
might do is limited to studying
and passing out information to
recommend raising the levels of
nutrition and living standards,
improving the efficiency Of
agricultural production, better
ing the conditions of rural life,
and thus contributing towards
an expanding world economy.
All this is of particular inter
est just now as contributory to
whatever agreement for main
tanning peace and security the
British-Russian, Chinese Ameri-
can conferees are able to work
out at Dumbarton Oaks. in
Washington. Also, the Hot
Springs Food conference was
the first of the international
meetings to be called Since then.
there have been United Nations
conferences on monetary stabil-
ization, and preliminary confer
ences on international aviation,
petroleum and rubber control.
There will be others. Fitting
them all into one big interna-
tional organization to send wars
is the gigantic jig-saw puzzle to
be worked out in coming
months.
