OUR COMMON INTEREST
By RUTH TAYLOR

Common suffering YIELDS toge-
ther people OF different nation
alities as though they were menu
bers of the same family. Common
aims bind together people of diff
ferent faiths. Common ambitions
coordinate the actions of people of
different backgrounds.
After all, what does common
mean? According to the dictionary
it is usual. average. regular, and
pertaining to or participated in by
all". There must be no division
in democracy A very great man
once said: 1.-THE foundation OF
unity is the equality of status of
the citizens" In short, if law is
to be effective it must be ap-
piled always, everywhere and to
all.
We have learned from bitter
experience that to be truly free
men must have the assurance fol
all alike of an opportunity te
work as free men in the company
of free men. No man can be con-
fident in perpetuity OF his own
safety unless and until every man
woman and child is equally safe
Common ambition is working
together toward the same goal =
a prize which will be shared
Rival ambition is striving for

goal which must be seized for the
bescfit OF the one and the de-
triment of the other. VIII we let
rival ambitions separate us?
If we are to fulfill our duty
as American, we must. without
setting aside any of our individual
rights. work together in our COM
munity or common life, to carry
out the ideals of democracy, to
see to 1t that there are opportu-
mites for each man to advance
according to his talents and abil-
tiles. to extend a friendly hand
to those who need help, to keep
the laws which we ourselves have
made. Only faith behind demo-
cracy can foster the common
virtues which are necessary for
self government and for the pre-
servation of our unity.
Centuries ago Euripides stated
it thus:
Look to the things of God.
Know you are bound TO help al
who are wronged,
Bound to constrain all who des
troy the law.
What else holds state to stat
save this alone,
That each one honors the grea
law of right.
We did this in war. We mus
do it now, if this is TO be an eri
of peace and not just an armistic'
] between wars.

Read Proverbs: II: 24-2s

We would be foolish indeed to
underrate the importance of mo-
ney. We know that money means
food for our nourishment, a home
for shelter, education for our chill
dren. opportunities for recreation,
amusement, and everything good.
It is one of mankind's most need
ed servants. The danger is in
allowing it to become our master.
IL We began to put our trust in
riches, we shall be leaning upon
a broken staff upon sinking sand.
While it is true that money can
purchase many things, we must
not forget that many of life's
most valuable possessions are I'M
purchaseable with any amount of
wealth. Money can purchase plen-
ty but not peace. Money can bride
into silence many accusing wit
nesses but not an accusing con-
science. Money can turn back col
lectors but not the death angle.
The message of Peter to Simon
Magus needs to be repeated to
manya today. Thy money perish
with thee, because thou hast
thought that the gift of God may
be purchased with money" (Acts
S:2O). Our only safety and secur-
ity is to put our trust in the
living God who holds the wealth
of the world in his hands. He is
our harbor of safety.
A financial successful young
businessman. whose trust has been
in things, said to me after the
financial crush following World
War l; 81 have learned where to
put my trust.
Gracious Father give us the
wisdom and prudence to put our
trust in the unchanging Christ
and his unsearchable riches. Amen.

While assorted favorites managed
to hold gains of fractions to point

Bullish sentiment was propped by

Earnings, business optimism, the

was possibility.

.vFW Is Urged TO File Suit
To Ban Communist Party

The District Department of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars will ask
Louis E. Starr, VFW commander, to
start court action to outlaw activi-
ties of the Communist Party in
this country, department officials
said today.
The proposal will be made to Mr..
Starr Snd his legal staff at meet
ing at 4 pm. Monday at VFW Ma
tional headquarters, 1926 Seven
teenth Street NV, according to
Charles S. Sullivan, jr., assistant
department judge advocate.
Mr.. Sullivan said the move was
planned because of the failure of
Government officials to start such
action. If VFW headquarters re-
fuses to accept the proposal, he
said the local department probably
would carry out the plan itself.
A spokesman for Mr.. Starr said
the VFW has had similar proposals
from other organizations who want
a veterans group to carry the ball !"
He added that VFW has steered
clear of the proposals because it
felt the action would require a more
specialized legal staff than VFW
has.

But Lau was not mentioned at
the trial of the ring members and
thus did not know that he still was
under surveillance, United States
District Attorney John F.. x. Nc
Gohey explained. He fed the coun-

Canada last October. He was ar
rested at once and indicted on a
charge of espionage conspiracy.
Lau, who was born in Germany,
but became an Argentine citizen
after going there in 1899, does not
face the death penalty because his
espionage work was conducted be-
fore the United States was at war.
The FBI learned that a spy ring
was operating from papers found in
Won Der Ostens pockets after the
fatal accident. Members of the
group were found by tracing persons
who phoned his hotel room and at
tended his funeral
| Sentences imposed on the eight
members of the ring who were con-
victed in 1912 totaled 1872 years. The
ring collected information on all
fields, troopships, armament plants
