tain any vetoes he may issue. The Con-
gressional Quarterly figures it this way:
"In the House, 146 votes-one more
than one-third-are necessary to sus-
tain a veto. There will be 1877 Democrats.
In the last Congress, Congressional
Quarterly's studies of party unity show
ed that SO Democrats habitually voted
against the majority of their party. OF
these, "a will be in the new Congress,
reducing the regular Democratic
strength to 1863. To this should be added
the six Republicans in the new Con-
gress who voted against their party
more than half the time in the old Con-
gress.
"That makes 1863 votes that the Ad-
ministration can usually count upon,
or % more than enough. Absenteeism
and further Democratic defections from
party policy could reduce this number
below the danger point.
"In the Senate, party division is
closer, but the Administration may have
more trouble. Of the 45 Democrats who
will be in the Senate next year, II voted
against their party more than half the
time in the 10th Congress. That leaves
only "a fairly certain Administration
votes-one more than the 33 necessary
to sustain a veto. The Administration
strength is increased slightly by the
addition of two Republicans who regu-
larly voted against their party, to bring
the number who, usually support the
President to &c."

Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
BY LARSEN

WASHINGTON Veterans have
asked the following questions re-
garding the educational provisions
o. the CT Bill of Rights:
Q-I have been gong to college
on my benefits as a veteran. Now
I plan to change schools. The
school I plan to attend has longer
SemesterS than does the one |
have been attending. Just what
does the Veterans Administration
mean by an ,"ordinary school
year,"
A-The official definition is this:
The ordinary school year is de-
fined as a period of two semesters
or three quarters-not less than 30
nor more than 80 weeks in total
length. Under this definition, an
institution may be paid as much
as $500 Cor each ordinary school
year which is completed, regard
less of the time required for such
completion. Thus $500 might be
paid for each Of four ordinary
school years which are completed
within three 12-menth periods"
Q-1 was a star on the high
school baseball team last wear. 7

Armistice Day

Armistice Day being observed this
year almost on the heels Of a national
election which leaves the nation divided,
with the executive branch represented
by one major party and the legislative
branch to be under the control of the
other.
Were it not for the great good sense
Of the people at large, and the outstand-
ing fact that in both branches are men
of sound judgment, this could be de-
plorable. AS it is, there is no reason to
fear either for the stableness of the
government or the security of the ma.
ton.
Rather, there is reason to be glad
that the trend to the left has been
halted, and to pray that the movement
back to the center will carry the country
into new and %unexplored frontiers, not
of prosperity only but of influence for
the right in domestic and international
affairs.
The Armistice of 1918 was just what
the word implies-a cessation of hostili-
ties. 1t is our duty and our privilege
to lead the effort to make hostilities
impossible in the future. It is we'll to
consider that if we Measure up to our
opportunity, the war from which we
recently emerged with signal honors
will in actual fact prove to have been
the war to end all wars the world
around.

FROM THE SOUTH PACIFIC
BY L T. L L

FROM THE SOUTH PAClFlC
Two ex-officers of the United
States Navy were seated in front
of the big fireplace in Canadian
camp, reminiscing a b Ut their
common experiences in the South
Seas. They dwelt upon the changes
made in the natives by Christian
ity, and cited instances. They
philosophical about the long over
looked c of the pioneed mis-
sionaries of the American Board,
an achievement that had to wait
for the present war to penetrate
into the consciousness of the Amer
can public.
These unsung fruits of long,
quiet, faithful labors by men and
women of God are typical of what
has been going on for more than
a century, all over the non-Christ-
ian world. Not only have uncounted
myrieds of individuals been con-
verified, but the whole spirit of life
has been altered. Universal civili-
alton has been permeated by the
standards and spirit of Christianity.
If there is any sense of strategy
to be found in the rank and file
of the Church, the present time
will witness a great resurgence Of
missionary activity and giving.
Yet we face the fact of a slump
in benevolence in the United
States, though not in Canada. A
report based on statistics from the
Stewardship Council says that
"gifts to church and related be-
nevolences decreased more than a
billion dollars in the 13-year period
from 1888 to 1045, as compared
with the previous 13-year period,
1920-1932." And that in the face Of
vastly increased prosperity.
o Lord, shake us and wake us to
an understanding of the times, and
of Thy will. Amen.

Three States To Share Taxes
With Municipalities From Now On

! CHICAGO, Nov. 10-(R - Forty.
three states are cutting in their
hard pressed municipalities for a
$500, 600, 900 annual slice of state
collected taxes, the American MI
nicipal association reported Sun
day.
Faced with a need for increased
funds to meet mounting demands
for expanded and improved city
services, city officials in many
states are backing new proposals
aimed at getting even larger shares
of state collected taxes.
An association survey showed
that Florida, Kentucky, Nevada,
Texas and Vermont were the only
states not sharing some of their
taxes with cities. Chief among the
shared taxes are those on liquor,
motor vehicles and gasoline.
Most extensive tax-sharing sys-
tenn adopted in recent years is
New York's Moore plan, which pro-
vides for a return to cities of more
than $S7, 900, 900 of this years state
taxes as part of a 1907, 900, 900 local
assistance program.
Liquor taxes are shared With
municipalities in II states, with
local receipts exceeding $55, 600, 900.
Pennsylvania and Ohio return vir-
tually all their state collected Ii
quor license revenues to cities.
More than $50, 900, 900 in gasoline
taxes are being returned annually
to municipalities in Is states. Cali

Americas Card Authority

Most bridge players tell you only
about their good plays and it is
refreshing to have someone seno
in an interesting hand in whict
he got the worst Of it. Howard W
Bennett of Schenectady, N. Y, is q
popular fellow who often tells g
story in which he comes out or
the wrong end.
Some time ago Bennett was
teaching a class of beginners and
he spent some time impressina
upon them that distribution is
equally as valuable as high cards.
The class thought they still would
like to hold the aces and kings
and let him hold the distribution.
After the class a rubber game
was started and n of the stu
dents was kibitzing when today's
hand came up.
When South opened the bidding
with four hearts, Bennett <East)
was eager for the chance to double
it, but to his surprise North chimeo
in with the seven bid.
Of course he lost no time ir
doubling, and North redoubled
One can hardly blame Bennett
for doubling even though he hac
just given a lesson on distribution
Declarer rutfed the opening
spade lead in dummy with the
seven of hearts, led the c o.
hearts, and West showed out. A:
East was the doubler, declarer lee
dummy's ace of diamonds, ther
played the queen. Bennett refused
to 60 up with the king and declare
discarded a club.
When the grand slam was made
the kibitzer looked at Bennett ane
said, rs that what you meant b.
high cards and Distribution" Ane
after a moments thought the
kibitzer added, "Mr. Bennett. i
you had bid seven spades. YOU
side would have gone down onl,

While distribution does play :

municipalities, nearly SO, 200, 900. In
Illinois, where the motor fuel tax
is the only tax shared with munich
palities, Sc, 700, 900 was returned to
local governments.
Municipalities in 20 states last
year received approximately $45,-
900, 900 as their share of ~state-col-
lected motor vehicle and related
taxes. New Jersey cities received
the most, nearly $11, 600, 900, while
California localities received &c.
600, 900.
In some states, including Indiana,
Michigan and Maryland, gasoline
and motor vehicle tax receipts are
combined for sharing purposes.

V~andenberg's Position

Senator Arthur V~andenberg's state.
ment before the United Nations Bulge
tary Committee that so far as his au-
thority extends there will be no change
in this nations foreign policy, regard
less of what political regime sits in
Washington, and that the United Ma
tions organization can count on the
wholehearted cooperation of the govern
ment in "striving for a system of mutual
defense against aggression and for
peace-with-justice in a better, safer,
happier world" is we'll calculated to So
lace all governments similarly disposed
and such sections of our own population
as were not satisfied with the results of
last Tuesdays balloting.
Senator Vandenberg was at Secretary
of State Byrnes' side throughout the
disturbed and often stormy sessions of
the recent Paris peace conference and
has been a strong supporter of the
Secretary's position on all major issues
there discussed. AS he is the probable
choice of the republicans for president
pro tempore of the Senate, and as the
Senate is the branch of Congress which
passes on treaties, it is obvious that,
with his tremendous influence, the gov
eminent will not face such obstacles as
interfered with the peace settlement
following the First World War and the
creation Of the League of Nations.
Issues now before the Big Four
Foreign Ministers offer a fair picture
of this nations foreign policy, which
Mr.. Vandenberg upholds.
First there is the administration of
Trieste. The United States and Great
Britain have both favored a governor
with strong reserve powers subject b
the direction of the Security Council.
This view was upheld at Paris by a fiji
teen to five vote. At present, however,
it is understood this position would be
abandoned if Yugoslavia and Italy COM
pose their differences and draft a pro-
gram acceptable to the Ministers. The
United States and Great Britain also
favor acceptance of the French line"
between Italy and Yugoslavia. Paris
conferees supported this by a thirteen
to five vote.
Danube navigation, this government
holds in concert with Britain, should be
a part of the Balkan treaties, with an
international conference to be called in
six months by the Foreign Ministers to
set up a regime for Danubian traffic.
Both parts of this item were endorsed
at Paris, fifteen to six.
Concerning compensation for war
incurred losses the United States favors
70 per cent, as does Russia. Britain
wants 70 per cent, and the Paris con-
ference supported Britain's basis of
settlement.
The United States believes Germany
should be unified economically and po-
lltically, as agreed at Potsdar, and
that Austria's postwar status should
be settled promptly so that Allied troop
Withdrawals may begin.
The measure of American diplomacy
and statecraft will be reflected in the
solution of these and the other prob
lens still ahead.
