In the meantime, the
Negro veteran is becoming more
and more disgusted with the spec
tacle, and with the actions of some
of his friends" He is learning
very rapidly that the best friend he
has is the CT Bill of Rights, and he
is becoming more and more vocif-
erous in his demands that all Ne

forts to see that this law operates
equitably in his behalf. (Note:

year it expects to have all of it's
13 branch offices in operation.
Those offices will function as ad-
ministrative focal points for the
main office. Each of these offices
will be under deputy administra-
tor who will be answerable to the
administrator of veterans affairs,
now Gen. Omar Bradley, through
his executive assistance admins

sumo supervision Of all regional
offices in the area, which in turn
will assume supervision of all SUBJ

BISHOP BEGINS WORK
IN AFRICA

MONROVIA, Liberia, Feb. IL
(ANP)-The Rev. Bravid w. Har-
ris, auxiliary bishop of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church, who arrived
here recently, has completed an in
itial survey of his district and re-
ports that Liberals keenest need
is for teachers, technicians, and
modern agricultural equipment.
Liberals abundant and rich re-
sources must be developed so as to
provide a living for the Masses"
Bishop Harris says. The only Ne
gro holding office of bishop in his
church, DR.. Harris became head
of the missionary district of Lii
IBERIA last summer when he was
raised to his present position by
both white and Negro clergy and
parishioners.
Bishop Harris, who replaces a
native Liberian in his new post,
urges American Negroes to con-
slider Liberia where they may serve
in governmental positions and
others which will aid the country
and themselves. In his new assign
ment, the bishop is in charge of
school and church work and hopes
to stimulate education in the coun-
try.

Russia in Munchuriu

Behind a veil of diplomatic reti-
cence and local censorship pattern
seems to be emerging with regard to
Manchuria which, while maintain
ing the outward semblance of Chi
nese sovereignty. will invest Soviet
Russia with effective control, espe-
cially on the economic side.
This pattern was foreshadowed by
the clauses regarding Manchuria in
the Sino-Soviet treaty negotiated
last August in Moscow. BY that in
strument the Chungking govern
ment headed by Chang Kai-shek
got definitive recognition from Mos
COW as the legal regime in China,
but in return it had to make GER
tain concessions. especially as re-
CARDS Manchuria. Chungking agreed
that Russia should be accorded
joint partnership with the Chinese
for thirty years in the Manchurian
railways, made Port Arthur a Joint
naval base and turned Dairen into
free commercial port.
This went long way toward
placing the Soviet Union in the
privileged status attained by Czarist
Russia at the opening of the present
century. That Russian dominance
over Manchuria, coupled with at
tempts to extend it to Korea, pre-
cipitated the Russo-Japanese War
OF 19o4-5, by which Czarist Russia
gave place to Japan. Building on
that foundation, Japan assumed in
creasing predominance. eliminating

sovereignty in Manchuria and the
erection of the puppet empire" OF
Manchukuo. Behind that facade

preserve of Japan. all foreign eco

and acquired complete physical pos

Chore Time

Doing the chores is a regular part
OF life on the farm, and the
countryman rather enjoys 1t in the
winter, when outside work is not
rushing. In the wintertime man
does not need to get up much before
six instead of five, his rising hour
from May to October. And on
winter afternoon, when the dark
ness settles in quickly after the sun
has tipped over the horizon, the
farmer lights the shining -globed
lantern and gets the chores done
before supper.
Chores are work, of course, and
many a farm lad has longed for
job where he could do days work
and quit on the dot of five. But
the true farmer, who delights in
his cattle and horses, likes the
couple Of hours at the end of the
day. AS he goes into the warm,
familiar-smelling barn the cows
rattle their chains impatiently and
the horses make soft, whinnying
noises. Around the barn at con-
venient spots big spikes are driven
into the upright timbers, where the
lantern can hang safely as man
pitches down the hay and forks
it into the horses managers and
pushes it in front of the cows.
While he does the milking in the
soft, yellow glow of the lantern, the
cats sit patiently by waiting for the
warm milk for their supper. Those
who enjoy milking like to hear the
metallic song as the first streams
hit the bottom of the pail and then
listen as the white arrows of milk
go swishing into the bubbly froth.
Then, milking done, the calves have
to be fed, the livestock grained and
more hay pushed where the cows
can reach it. Last of all, everything
has to be bedded down for the
night with forkfuls of crisp oat
straw or perhaps big scoopfuls of
smelling sawdust or shavings.
And when the chores are done for
another day, it is good to stand
minute at the end of the tieup and
let the lantern light shine on the
sleek cows and the plump fanks of
the horses.

Fair Trade Bill Demise

Decision of pharmaceutical inter
ests to abandon their efforts to Sc
cure passage of the So-called "fair
trade practices" bill for the District
of Columbia is welcome news to local
consumers and other civic groups
who have waged vigorous cam
paign to defeat the measure. Re-
ported by subcommittee of the
Senate District Committee after
brief hearings at which no opposi-
ton testimony was heard. the bill
aroused storm of protest from in
dividuals and groups who feared it's
price-fixing implications. A special
hearing was arranged for them.
Modelled after similar legislation in
many of the States. the bill would
have outlawed the resale of trade
marked commodities at less than a
minimum retail price fixed by the
manufacturer. The announced pur-
pose of this price floor plan was to
eliminate what is known in retail
trade circles as "loss leader" prac-
tices, under which some cut-rate
stores sell certain nationally adver-
tised products at a loss in order to
attract customers who might also
decide to buy additional goods on
which prices have been marked up.
Opponents of the bill pointed out
that it would result in sharply
increased prices not only on many
pharmaceutical products but on
wide variety of trade name" arti-
cles. The cause of the proponents
was not helped by disclosure at the
hearings that similar laws in several
States were passed so hastily that
typographical errors in one of the
first of the laws were copied in
others, nor by the fact that Senator
Saltonstall, who introduced the local
bill, did not press for It's passage.

IT believe in God. the Father
Almighty, Creator of Heaven and
earth" Thus we have been taught
from the dawn of Christianity to be-
gin the recitation OF our creed and
make our profession Of faith in the
living God. It is called the Apostles
Greed, not because the twelve
apostles either by single contribu-
tions or by cooperative effort COM
posed it and wrote 1t out in the
exact form in which it has come
down to us, but rather because 1t
summarizes neatly the teachings
which they had received from the
Master and in turn preached to the
first disciples. And just because it
is recognized as an epitome Of the
teachings of our Lord it stands even
today as the rock foundation of
belief, not for Catholics only, but for
practically all who take some pride
in the name of Christian.
There are many who are convinced
that real democracy can be grounded
solidly only in the belief in a God
who has endowed human personality
with those inalienable rights which
democracy seeks to defend against
every form Of aggression. Certainly,
it Is extremely difficult, il not i'm
possible, to find in any other source
than the doctrine of the Fatherhood
Of God and the brotherhood OF man
a sufficient guarantee Of that funda-
mental equality of all men which is
inherent in the very idea OF real
democracy. At any rate. this was
the profound conviction of our
founding fathers.
Consequently, our life as a Nation
has its roots deeply in the belief in
God, and always has drawn on this
belief for strength and courage in
working out its destiny. 1t is. we
are happy to be able to say it, not
unusual in this land of ours for men
in high office to speak His name, or
to ask His blessing in normal times
and invoke His aid in times of ma
tional distress. With the name of
God held in high honor in .the
declarations Of our Government and
enShrined in the hearts of millions
Of our citizens, it would seem that
in what concerns our profession of
faith in Gods existence, at least,
all is right with us.
y
But this is only one side of the
picture. There unfortunately is an
other side which Is dark indeed and
which brings chilling fears to the
hearts of those who have eyes to see
its sinister forebodings. It is one
thing to say: I believe in God, and
another to profess: believe in God,
the Father Almighty, Creator of
Heaven and earth. The distinction

tiations between Moscow and Chung
king, Moscow holding trump cards
in the shape Of the Chinese Commu-
nists who we're eager to take over
Manchuria and hold it against
the Chungking government. Again,
Chungking seems to be paying a
price which tends to get heavier as
time goes on. Building upon the
basis of the Moscow treaty, Soviet
diplomacy appears to be aiming at
acquiring not only the old Czarist
status before 1905 but also effective
control over the vast. economic
structure erected by the Japanese
during their period of domination.
That would indeed be major prize.

Capital Sidelights
By viii p. Kennedy.

Joe" Walsh of Massachusetts,, one of
the great little men in Congress 80
years ago, is dead. His demise was
brought to the attention of the House
by his successor and admirer, Repre-
sentative Charles L. Clifford of Cotuit
(the Cape district of Massachusetts, i.
who said: He was remarkable student
of the rules Of procedure here. He was
outstanding as presiding officer and
was often requested to serve in that
capacity in this chamber. He resigned
to accept appointment to the Superior
Court in Massachusetts,. Our Nation has
lost man Of courage and ability such
as is greatly needed in these grievous
times"
And then, from the other, Democratic,
side of the House came the testimony Of
Representative John E. Rankin, who
appeared in Congress IS months before
Mr.. Walsh retired: He was one Of the
ablest parliamentarians I have ever
known. There were giants in those days.
One was Joe Walsh another Jim Mann
of Illinois, Finis Garrett Of Texas,
Claude Kitchin Of North Carolina, later
Democratic leader; Charles r.. Crisp,
Georgia; William A. Rodenberg, Illinois;
Jim Begg of Ohio and many others. We
had parliamentary battles in those days.
We did not take everything for granted.
My memory of Joe Walsh has been kept
green because of his sterling honesty in
his fights on parliamentary procedure. I
never knew him to manifest the slightest
degree of political prejudice In arguing
for or against point Of order. He was
one of the truly great men Massachu-
sets has sent to Congress"
Joe Walsh started his career moving

ton at Woods Hole, Mass, where he later
was fish cnlturist and clerk. 1900 to

to 1922. When presiding, he held the
record for broken gavels.

Anne Royal, born in Maryland, June
II, 1859, was pioneer newspaperwoman
in the Capitol, said to be the only
woman ever officialy placed on trial as
common scold. She narrowly escaped a
ducking in punishment, but was be-
friended at her trial by the youthful
journalist, w. D. Wallack, of whom she
herself wrote: "Of all human beings,
Master Wallack was the most attentive.
This amiable youth hung over my chair
the whole time with the affection of
son. With his head bent close to my
ear he would whisper, What can I do
for you, Mrs. Royal? Tell me If you
want anything and will get it for you y"
The formal report of Chief Justice
Cranch to the Supreme Court on the
case of "The United States VS.. Anne
Royal" is amusing reading. General
understanding of the obsolete English
law was that no other punishment than
ducking was legal for the offense Of be-
ing common scold. A model of
ducking stool was made at the Navy
Yard by the courts order and exhibited
before their honors. Mrs. Royal was
sentenced to a fine of $40 and required
to keep peace for one year. Security
in the amount of $50 was demanded.

| Believe in God
By the Very Req. Louis A. Arand, S. S,
President OF Dtuiu COLLEGE Unperstu Of America

Is real, because belief in God can
and does have many different shades
Of meaning on the lips of those who
profess it, meanings which range all
the way from wholehearted accept
ance Of and reliance on a personal
God to the complete negation Of His
real and distinct existence. Read
your books and your periodicals and
listen to the lectures of university
and college professors up and down
and across the country in which we
glory and then ask yourself: Do all
who proclaim His name really be-
lieve in a God who is our Father,
through whom we are all brothers
one to another and on whom our
claim to democratic equality must
ultimately rest?
Do those who say they believe In
God, but deny that He can shape
our lives, really believe in God our
Father? Do those who shout aloud
that they do not deny that God
exists, but merely affirm that we can
know nothing about His nature, truly
believe in God our Father Do those
who claim that we are all just SO
many manifestations Of deity, waves
in the eternal sea Of divinity, actu-
ally believe In God our Father? Do
those who prate about God as being
identified with Mother Nature really
believe in God our Father? The
answer in every instance is the same.
They don't. And yet, such are the
ideas-and there are others more or
less like them-which unquestion-
ably are being taught openly today
in many, If not most, of our higher
institutions of learning. What an
astonishing anomaly, that the citi-
zens of our great democracy should
pay taxes to. support schools which
destroy the very idea Of personal
God on which our democracy Is
founded! Is it not true, therefore,
that all too many in our Nation
profess God in name and neverthe-
less know Him not? Is it not obvious
likewise that not all is well with us?
y 4 r +
If we are to maintain for long our
democratic belief in the equality and
the dignity Of man, and if we are to
prosper in a democratic form of life,
and il we are to remain secure
against the aggression OF totalitarian
conceptions OF government, and if
We are still to hope for Gods bless
ings in normal times and His special
assistance in times Of national crises,
then it behooves us all to know that
belief in God is not enough, unless
it means at the same time belief in
a personal God, in a God who is our
Father, in a God who is our first
beginning and who shapes our lives
and who is the final goal of all our
strivings.
