|Zonta club Speaker
Sees Threat in
Red imperialism.
r., P.sfk na1n
Bv Ruth Dean

Russian imperialism is the great
est threat in the world today" Miss
Selma Borchardt. prominent local
lawyer and educator, told a lunch
con meeting of the zonta Club
yesterday at the Dodge Hotel.
Miss Borchardt, who spoke of her
impressions of postwar Europe as
she saw them while attending the
International Federation of Educa-
tional Associations convention in
Geneva last summer. said many
talk of British and Dutch imperial
ism. but what about Russian i'm
perialism?"
The type of imperialism practiced
over century ago is far different
from the present type in which not
only land rights are violated but
the sacred personal rights of the
individual as well, she declared.
Nowhere did she see the line
drawn more clearly than at the
Geneva conference, Miss Berchardt
said, with the forces of free govern
merlt on one side and the satellite
nations on the other. She said
she was shocked to learn that the
Czechoslovakian government, a free
government, is requiring the teach
ing OF Russian in its schools, an in
dication, she added, that its idealogy
lis turning from the west to the
east.
On her way to the conference
the speaker had a chance to observe
both the British and French trends
LOT political thought. She pointed
to Britain's adoption Of a labor gov
ernment as a natural outcome of
the war. After war, a nation al
ways goes to the extreme opposite
form of government, she observed
Britain's Labor government is most
emphatically non-Communistic she
said, pointing to the fact that not
only are 80 per cent of the Labor
members of Parliament non-Com-
munist but i-Communist as we'll.
Many people in this country are
worried about Britain's trend toward
socialism, but forget that the Eng
lish as whole are emotionally con-
servative and are devoted to pre-
serving the sanctity and independ-
ence of the individual human
being. Il am not so desperately
concerned with the change of eco
nomic structure of a government, /"
the speaker emphasized, "as I am in
the preservation of the sanctity of
the Individual"
Miss Borchardt praised the Labor
governments progressive programs
in the fields of health, education
and industry. They have what
they call 'socialized industry we
call it subsidy, and that is not con-
fiscation,' she said with emphasis

quantity and in complexity
~ during the year 1947. A
Il - greater number of books
on religion were published
and they covered a larger and
more diverse field. The public re-
sponse to the titles offered also was
notable. Perhaps the impact of
world conditions was responsible for
a more comprehensive interest in
spiritual themes. In any case, such
a broadened interest was manifested
by men and women of all classes.
Leading the list of the religious
best sellers" of the 12-month period
was Human Destiny" by Lecomte
du Nouay Gongmans), profound
and searching study of the principle
of evolution in application to morals
as well as to biology. The author, a
pupil of the Curies and colleague
Of Alexis Carrel, sees religion as an
expanding force working through
human intelligence and experience
to a tranScendant achievement of
the soul. Man, he contends, has a
glowing destiny" and "he should
be proud of the tremendous respon-
sibility bestowed upon him." What
he anticipates is a moment when,
through their own aspiring en-
deavors, men finally may be trusted.
The first requirement of this full
f1llment is the conscious wish that
1t may be attained. "Only evolution
could bring forth man." Dr. du Nouy
declares, and man must continue
to evolve toward spirituality" in de-
fance of every circumstance that
would interfere with his advance
ment

Works by Preachers
And Lay Writers

Another book attesting wealth of
scholarly equipment Is "A Plain
Mans Life of Christ" by the Rev.
DR.. A. D. Martin (Macmillan). He
was an evangelical minister in
several provincial cities in England
and his f1ocks were people of the
middle class. Deliberately to suit
their need, he developed a style
which iSteners-or readerS-cOuld
comprehend with ease. His inter-
probation of the synoptic Gospels is
modern, thorough but in no respect
pedantic. The method of his expo
sition may be Illustrated by this
quotation from the narrative OF the
Crucifixion: "The hours rolled on
heavily in the burning heat of the
early summer day. The sunlight
feebly suffused through blanketings
Of Dead Sea cloud drifting up i'm
perceptibly from that breeding place
of storms. The pale yellowish light
made yet more ghastly the scene at
Golgotha. They who hung there
were no longer the objects of insult.
An apprehension of some mysterious
evil, hidden with the silence and
stagnation of Nature, awed the
watchers. Suddenly from the cross
of Jesus came startling cry"
Lay writer's also produced signifi-
cant volumes during the year. John
D. Rockefeller, jr., and Thomas j..
Watson were among 25 citizens with
business backgrounds who collabo-
rated in "Laymen Speaking, edited
by Wallace c. Speers Association

approach to religion; each has "ac-
cepted a commission to practice
Christianity in their individual and

A Wealth of Reading
In Spiritual Literature

Prof. Conrad H. Moehlman of the
Colgate Divinity School,
in his examination of THE Church
As Educator has brought into focus
many current ideas about modern
culture as a purely secular growth
not adequately influenced by Chris
tian conceptions blinds, Hayden &
Eldredge). His own opinion is that
"a new approach to religion is
urgently needed to save all faith
from oblivion" in a world in which
the majority of the people are
either agnostics or members of nom
Christian faiths" But he thinks
new religious synthesis based on
science Is forming" Movement
away from the mythology of tradi-
tional Christianity" toward "a per-
sonal religion in agreement with in
tellectual honesty" Prof. Moehlman
stresses "the ethical quadrilateral of
Jesus: Purity, love, humility, hero
ism"
New Day for Evangelism" by the
Rev. Aaron N. Nickel DuttonO is
an expression of the missionary zeal
of the Congregational Church in
America in the postwar era. 1t is
the work of the pastor of typical
New England town, historic Brain
tree, and it Is filled with proof Of
wide and deeply going scholarship as
well as generous fellow feeling The
