Reich, Austria Pacts
Offer Political
Problems.

in London in preparation for the
treaty conference.
AS was the case after the World
War I, Austria will be treated sep
arately by the victors. In 1918 the
old Austro- Hungarian empire fell
apart and a republic was established.
Later, by the treaty of st. German,
the boundaries of this shrunken
state were established to the salts
faction of the Allied powers. They
were designed to follow ethnic lines.
Today the new Austrian republic,
separated by the Allied Control
Council from the derelict Reich
which had seized it in 1888, doesn't
look far different on the map than
it did 20 years ago. Neighbors press
a few minor claims, but the treaty
to be framed at Moscow will chiefly
affect Austria's political future,
leaving the boundaries as they were
in 1887.

could take place for this reason:
American factories and farms are

the tremendous supplies needed by

Further, the nations in the great
est immediate need are those with
little or no gold or American dol

The Unofficial Background.
Off the record, top Government
financial experts will explain the
background for the steps which have
taken the United States along the
road to political use of money this

large towns. Emerging upon the
High Veldt early next month the
party will visit Bloemfontein, pro-
vincial capital of the Orange Free
State, and then will veer eastward
through the mighty barrier of the
Drakensberg Mountains to Natal. On
their way they will stop on the bor-
ders of Basutoland, one of the
native reserves" somewhat like our
Indian reservations, which have
separate administrations and where
white settlement is not allowed.
There, as in other reserves, the ma
tives will put on the full panoply
of their savage, warlike past; so
the celebrations should be especially
picturesque.
The ensuing fortnight will be
spent in Natal, a relatively small
but very rich and prosperous prov
ince of the Union, bordering on the
Indian Ocean. Washed as its coasts
are by the Mozambique Current,
akin to our Gulf Stream, and shell
tered by lofty mountains inland,
Natal has semitropical climate
and abundant rainfall. This makes
possible the large scale cultivation
of sugar, cotton and other tropical
products, grown on big plantations,
Much of the labor is furnished by
the descendants of coolies from
British India, who form large
element in the total population, and
whose claims for full political
status constitute one of South
Africas most troublesome prob
lens.
To Visit Pretoria.
Toward the end of March the
royal itinerary leads from Natal
northWard into the TranSVaal,
headquarters remaining for several
days at Pretoria, the seat of gov
ernment for the entire union. This
dignified city, still largely Dutch in
character, as BELTS the former
capital of the Boer republic of the
Transvaal, one headed by the
patriarchal personality of President
"Oom Paul Kruger. will be the
scene of impressive official ceremo-
nies. It should be remembered that
George vi is simultaneously King
not only of Great Britain and North
ern Ireland, but also of each of the
dominions of the British Common
wealth. Sd he will in no sense be {.
visitor but very specifically the mon
arch of the South African Union.
Less than 80 miles south of starch
ily-official Pretoria lies the much
larger city of Johannesburg, bus
tling, cosmopolitan metropolis, set
in the center Of the great Rand
goldfeld whose mines, stamping
mills and smelters fill the air with
smoke and roaring industry.
From Pretoria it is nearly 900
miles as the crow flies to Bulawayo,
in Southern Rhodesia and almost as
far again to Salisbury, the capital.
Also, Pretoria lies near the northern
edge of the High Veldt, whose ele-
vation gives the Transvaal q climate
far cooler and drier than its posi-
tion on the edge of the tropics would
normally indicate. To save time as
we'll as discomfort, the royal party
will leave Pretoria by air and fly TO
it's various stops in Rhodesia, which
lies wholly within the tropics. The
royal train will be on hand to pick

Sunday School Lesson
Wise Words Concerning Honesty

legal fiction his action may be
covered.
When Zacchaeus, the Jewish
tax-gatherer, who climbed into
tree to see Jesus and climbed
down to receive the Master as his
self invited guest, heard the
Masters declaration, "This day is
salvation come to this house," he
stood and said, eff I have taker
anything from any man by false
accusation, l restore him four
fold" That was the portion that
a convicted thief was by Jewish
law under obligation to restore, sc
that Zacchaeus was saying, in eff
feet, IF 1 have grated in my
office Gas its very nature made II
easy and tempting to do I've
been a thief"
That plain sort of honesty with
himself was the sure evidence Of
the reality of Zacchaeus' con
version. In a somewhat different
way the Prodigal Sons salvation
began when he "came to him
self" and was honest with him
self.
So, honesty, like charity, begins
at home; but like charity it does
not stay there. 1t reaches out into
every sphere and relationship Of
life. And it is the only basis upon
which life can be sound and
wholesome, and even safe. Only
today 1 have been reading a list
of the names and otfenses Of
firms prosecuted under the food
and drug law. Appallingly, it con-
tains the names of some Of the
best known firms in the country,
emphasizing how much the very
food that we eat and the drugs
we use depend upon the simple
integrity of those who produc G
them. Honesty is our deepest
need.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-08-17
Four Sermon Thoughts

Snug sanctimoniOus piety is
not religion. Test your sincerity
by your attitude toward imper-
feet people. Lack Of charity is
a cardinal sin. Matt. 23:14: Woe
unto you scribes and Phari-
sees, hypocrites!
Few men take as much
thought about building a life
as they do about building or
even renting a house. Your life
is eternal, but the house will be
old in one or two generations.
Luke 6:48: He is like a man
who built a house.
There Is a method by which
we can lay hold of infinite
power. We can use Gods power
to move mountains.-Heb. IL:
1: Now faith is giving SUBJ
stance to things helped for, the
proving of things not seen.
The universe is more than a
phantasm. It is Gods project
ed thought, fixed for countless
ages. But our spirits will live
after the universe passes. -
Acts 17:28: In him we live and
move and have our being.

SOUL IS SUBJECT

Theme

SOUL" Is the subject Of the
lesson-sermon in all Christian
Science churches and societies to-

from the Bible: "Hear, O I Israel:
The Lord our God is one Lord:
And thou salt love the Lord thy
God with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy
might Deuteronomy GA, 81. And
from "Science and Health with

Because Soul is immortal, it does

In a recent survey of Christian
churches in Japan, DR.. John H.
Reisner, executive head Of Agri-
cultural Missions, Inc, and an in
ternationally known rural authori-
ty, found that in the pre-war days
a great proportion Of Protestant
Christian missionary work was in
Japan's cities, while only about
100 churches were in rural areas.
He found also that converts to
Christianity were usually one out
of a family; while he insists that
only as whole families are led into
Christianity can the faith be root
ed in any land. DIR. Reisner is
proposing to the Foreign Missions
conference of North America, ano
to its component mission bodies,
that 800 e missionaries be
trained and sent to Japan in the
next few years to work on rural
and village and agricultural prob
lens. They would work on the
matter of livelihood from the land,
the home, youth, religious edu'
cation, and worship. IF we ex'
pect the Christian movement to
provide any new leadership in
solving these hard, tough, every.
day problems Of the village peo-
pie, we must give u mission
aries the kind Of training with
which they can grapple with these
prnb1ems." he saws,
