Says Soviet Will Fight Japan

In New Years message to the Chinese egisla-
ure Sun Fo President of the Yuan expresses the be-
lief that Germany will be knocked out by the of
this year and that when the time comes, ally, the
Soviet Union, will turn her forces to the East and par
ticipate in the war against Japan"
The Legislator talked of postwar peace in Asia
result of the close collaboration between China and
the Soviet Union He gave six for their good
neghborliness and collaboration:
(D Both China and the Soviet Union are building
their nations revolutionary principles and have al
ways been sympathetic with each other.
(2) Both China and the Soviet Union are peace
loving and opposed to aggression.
(3) Both countries with vast territories and
abundant resources and apart from recovering their
lost territories, have territorial ambitions.
() Both maintain friendly relations with the
great Britain and the United States
and will continue to cooperate with them after the
war.
(5) After the war, both will engage in rehablita-
ton and reconstruction. z
CO., Both fighting and rebuilding under the
guidance of great leaders
The reasons advanced by Sun Fo for the coopera-
ton of Soviet Russia and his country solid and
substantial They have more basis perhaps than his
prophecy that the Soviet Union will enter the war
against Japan.
At any rate, his statements seem to deny persist
ent reports of tension and disagreement between Soviet
Russia and China in regard to territorial and political
questions.

Parallels were often used by our
Lord, particularly when He had.
truth to reveal which was not for
unbelieving hearts that had hard
ened themselves against it (see
Matt. 13:10-16).
The method is that Of telling an
earthly story, true to life thence, not
a fable), which is placed alongside
of the spiritual truth it is designed
to teach. 1t thus differs from an
allegory, which gives the meaning
with the story (see John 1910.
Jesus used parallels in our lesson
to teach the truth that the good seed
of the Word of God will be received
in various ways and will bring forth
widely differing results. He-the
Lord-was the Sewer, and the field
was the world Matt. 1887, 30.
We note first that in that field
there were and are

4:1-0.
The reception of the seed is de-
termined by the condition of the soil.
The great field was essentially of one
kind of soil, but it had become wide
ly different in its ability to take in
the seed and bear fruit.
The Interpretation Of this parable

A road. or beaten pathway, was a
common thing in the fields of Pales-

his emissaries. They are always

800 Tons Of Bombs A Day

The extent of the aerial bombardment of Ger
many be estimated from the report of Lieut.Gen
era Ira c. Eaker, commander of the U. S. Eighth Air
Force, and the Royal Air Force review of events in
l943
During the calendar year, American bombers
dropped daily average of hundrtd fftythree tons
of bombs Germany The R. A. F. averaged four hum
dred ten tons per day.
The fact is that the heavy bombing of American
planes really got underway the last of the year In the
month of December, the Eighth Air Force had daily
average of about four hundred TONS This approximately
equalled the intensity of the R. A. FPS night attacks
From this information, we may conclude that Ger
many is being pounded by not less than eight hundred
tons of explosives and incendaries day. The tonnage
will certainly increase during January and in the months
ahead
While there may be arguments to the
ability of the Air Force to win the the West,
without Channel invasion, there be doubt
whatver that the aerial bombardment is ncting heavy
blows upon Germany and seriously imparing Nazi pro-
ductive facilities.

The Change in
InUos;on Plans

1t is a perilous thing these days
to write more than an hour in adj
vance of the invasion if one uses
the future tense. The majority of
opinion as l write" Chats the saw
ing line) believes that the inva-
sion won't get under way until late
spring although one report through
Sweden said the Germans were ex-
pecting it between Christmas and
New Years.
But from the time that General
Eisenhower was named as COM
mander and the other changes In
command we're named, 1t appeared
that the shape of the whole Allied
plans for the assault on fortress
Europa began to change rapidly.
The speed with which the Russian
armies were moving toward the
German frontiers set new forces
in motion.
Suddenly the Mediterranean be-
came less important in the picture
as Washington saw it, II was point
ed out that the British had a larger
force of men, ships and supplies in
that theater than the Americans.
What had seemed the most impor-
tant thing in Europe to America
ever since our troops landed in
North Africa suddenly grew less i'm
portsnt. The Middle East, which
had looked as if it were the gather
ing point of new blow through the
Balkans. perhaps with the help of
Turkey, shrank on the horizon. The
shifting of British commanders
seemed TO make this clear.
And then there we're calls for
greater speed on the part of the
Allies, it seemed as If a fear that
Russia might get to Berlin first was
stirring new activity and there were
stories that Spain was not as anxious
for Allied friendship as she was to
keep the "Bolshevists" from getting
nearer her borders, that If she must
make new enemies. at least 1t was
better to have the Allies against her
than to have Russia get too near
her.
But even without these rumors, IL
grew clearer and clearer that the job
ahead was colossal. Hopes that Ger.
many could be brought down by
bombing alone were given up. II
really seemed as If her factories
and indeed her cities had moved
underground.

In the good ground-open to receive

growth of the seed-there is album
dant harvest. Even here there is a
difference in the amo-nt Of fruit.
Why not be "huniredfold" be-

Changing the picture a little our
Lord now speaks Of
II. Normal Growth and a Good
Harvest (4:26-29).
This parable, found only in Mark,
has lesson for the sower. He is
not to expect the harvest immedi-
ately after the time of sowing. There
is period Of patient waiting while
God is producing the growth (and
only He can do itD-then the Joy of
harvest.
There are many lessons to learn
here. We who serve the Lord in
teaching or preaching the Word are
too impatient, too eager to be able
to announce results. God is always
willing that things should mature
naturally and in due season. Let
us wait for Him and be at rest in
our spirits ". ID.
Then let us be glad as the seed
begins to show signs Of maturing,
but let US not be slow to gather
the harvest when il is ready. Some
forget to gather the spiritual fruit
Of their labors, possibly having long
since lost patience and interest.
We should also be encouraged by
this parable to continue sowing the
seed, knowing that it will find place
in the hearts of some and bring forth
fruit unto eternal life.
Next we are warned to be on our
guard against accepting or approx

III. Abnormal Growth and an Evil
Harvest (4:30-32).
The mustard is an herb, not a
tree; hence this parable gave warn
ing that there would be an over
grown religious system calling itself
Christian. The birds are Gas in the
parable of the kinds of SOLD evil
men, or ''isms," or organizations
eager to take shelter in a religious
system without spiritual power.
The church had such an abnormal
growth when Constantine espoused
Christianity as a political move,
mixed it with paganism, and ele.
waited it to a position of worldly
| power.
All this was and still is contrary
to Gods plan for the church. He
wanted spiritual body distinguished
by lowliness, meekness and service
These are the things that mark the
true Christian spirit. The marks of
true Christianity are always those
Of likeness to Him who said: Il am
meek and lowly in heart" who came
mot to be ministered unto but to

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, ID. C.
At a recent White House press and
radio conference, the President was
explaining his pre-Christmas remark
that It was time to discard the
term New Deap'-the remark that
gave the cartoonists so much fun.
He used fable about "Old DR.. New
Deal'' who had healed the patient OF
internal troubles" (the depres-
sions). But when the patient had an
accident and had broken his arms
and legs, he had to call in his part
ner 'Dr. Win-the-War" to heal him.
A correspondent asked: Doesn't
that add up to fourth term declara-
tion?"
The President showed his irrita-
ton in his answer. He said that
that hadn't been under discussion,
that the question was picayune.
Then he caught himself, leaned
back, half smiled, half apologized,
with the remark that the questioner
would understand that he had to an
swer that way.
Two things came to my mind at
once. First, that the President was
thinking about the war and postwar
problems, and to be brought back
to earth with bump was very much
like being awakened by an alarm
clock in the midst of an interest
ing dream. That was one thing /
thought Of.
Another was just what the United
States, and the whole world for that
matter, would be suffering from aft
err the war and what the cure would
be, If any.
Recently there have been several
predictions that we were in for a
dose of mild fascism."

until three news items were called
to my attention. One was the state
ment that the CLIO committee of po-
litical action was planned as nu-
cleus of a labor party. That didn't
smell of fascism but it had slightly
collectivist aroma.
The next item was in the London
News Letter, a little pamphlet edit

No Comfort For Japan

Tokyo admiras will get little comfort out of the

for the shifting of full strength against Japan and the

which ing to produce
great changes in our political
system. Some of these changes
were foreshadowed in a PAM
phlet entitled ''The Future of
Party Politics., written by Com
mander King-Hall in 1887. It
was there argued that crisis,
both domestic and international,
was developing and demanding
for its solution high degree of
national unity in Britain, and
that the political expression of
that unity, and the instrument
for making it effective must be
a national government :"
In other words, the writer means
by a national government" a co,
alition government such as England
has now with no opposition-what
amounts to a single party.
