The machinery OF civilization has
either broken down or is breaking
down.
If we but had ears to hear, we
would realize that present condi-
lions are a desperate summons to
every citizen to bend his powers to
the saving and amending of the
social order we call civilization. The
true angle from which to deal with
conditions is that of individual re-
sponsibility. We simply must have q
new personal outlook and activity
on the part of individuals. This
lesson is a challenge to character
building. 1t cries with all the weight
of ancient wisdom behind it, Wake
up, youth! This is your day of duty
and of opportunity"
That way lies character building
The mention of Christian EndeavoI
recalls the many agencies that in
our time are concerned in this
fundamental Service-the home, the
public schools, the Sunday school,
the Scouts, the youth movements
the summer camps and conferences,
the All Clubs, and wide array
of other activities.
There is solid ground for opti-
mism as we survey the field of youth
whose characters are in the forma-
tive period. True; there are myriads
Of delinquent young people; but
it is heartening to realize the forces
that are operating to redeem them.
A host of older folk are bending
their best efforts to this end. Here
in is the reward of the Sunday
school teacher. IL
OF course, the greatest force in
shaping character is the Book that
reveals God, with its precious and
exceeding great promises.

y Million 10 Finland
Dy the Associoied Press

The United States is putting up
another So, 900 900 to help put Fin
land back on its feet.
Finland remains the only bor-
rover which has never failed to
make the payments on a debt con-
tracted with this country as an aft
ermash of World War I.
The little Baltic nation will get
the new credits from the Export
Import Bank, which let it have
$4,000, 900 in 1945 and 1916 to buy
some urgently needed materials and
equipment in this country, mostly to
restore its lumber, pulp and paper
exports.
The bank said it expects the addi-
tionaI credits-also to be spent en-
tirely In this country-plus some
financial assistance from other
sources" will enable Finland to re-
establish its foreign trade on SELF
sustaining basis.
But the banks directors doubtless
were counting as much on Finland's
past record for paying up as well as
its future prospects when they
agreed to the new loan.
Finland was furnished with around
50 ,000, 900 worth of relief supplies on
credit after the armistice in 1918.
Since then, it has paid about s.
100000 in interest alone. It still
owes about 81, 8,325 900 on the princi-
pal. Interest keeps piling up at 3
per cent rate, with payments due
each June and December.

Simple U. 5. Loyalty Test
By The Associated Press

Thurman Arnold and Abe Fortas,
both one-time Government officials,
yesterday urged the United States
to rely on q simple congressional
test of loyalty rather than some
ones fancy" In measuring eligibility
for q Federal job.
That test, contained in the Hatch
Act forbidding political activity by
civil workers, would be:
Whether the jobholder or Job
seeker advocated the overthrow OF
the Government, or belonged to an
organization which so advocated.
Mr.. Arnold and Mr.. Fortas set
forth their views in letter to the
Presidents Temporary Commission
on Employe Loyalty, which is search
ing for a standardized procedure for
passing on the Government workers
loyalty.
The letter was released by the
CIO-U United Public Workers OF
America, for whom Mr.. Arnold and
Mr.. Fortas spoke as counsel.
Mr.. Arnold was once Assistant
Attorney General and for brief
time served on the Federal bench.
Mr.. Fortas was Undersecretary Of
