you realize that he has to work
three days to earn that much.
1t is rather difficult to arrive
at a fair comparison of living
costs in any way other than by
computing the number of days a
man must work to earn enough
money to buy some necessity

change does not give the true
picture.
There are actually three rates
iof exchange. The commercial
rate, for business firms buying
or selling in Spain, values the
pesetas at Little more than &c.
The tourist, however, is given a
more favorable rate--about 1923
!pesetas to the collar, or roughly
&c per peseta. On the Tangier
exchange, an open market, the
rate is about SO pesetas to the
dollar. But it is illegal to import
pesetas into Spain, or to take
them out with you.

To seal off activities of the
black market in foreign curren-
cies, the Franco government re-
quires the traveller to declare
the full amount of all cash and
travellers checks in his possess
ion. He can cash these into Span
ish pesetas at authorized places
only, for example bank or a
travel agency. The cashing agen-
cy is required to make a written
statement OF the date and amount
on a special form included with
the passport. Filling out these
forms required nearly As minu-

can't say, after several days
in Madrid that there is any rea-
son why the Spaniards should be
reluctant to admit an American
newspaperman - although gov
eminent by dictatorship in Spain
is far from perfect.
The essentials of dictatorship
consist of a sizeable and loyal
armed force-army, navy and air
corps; a sizeable systematic police
force; and a large number of
bureaucratic jobs. Public support
is enhanced by government jobs
through the job holders them
selves, their families, relations
and friends. Thorough the police
force, disloyalty is not permitted
to get OUT of hand. If it should,
the armed forces stand ready to
do business. ;,
The dictator--to be dictator
must, like any other successful
politician-maintain wide spread
public support. He may accom-
plish this through fear, favor
or force-or all of them together.
Salazar of Portugal uses a lit
tie of the first two, with en-
phasis on the second, and with

to mention the time involved in
writing in many forms.
From the standpoint of govern
ma-F, travel Of business, the
Spanish scene is one of many
unnecessary complications. In
the effort to maintain complete
control, the Franco government
has tried to plug every loophole
with regulations. The result is
that with SO many, there is con-
fusion among the government
people themselves.
The Spanish people are a
friendly. type, and surprisingly
enough, despite Americas stand
on the Franco regime-the peo-
pie show a genuine warmth and
friendship for the few Americans
who visit the country. Our land
is to them still the most wonder
full country in all the world. Am
erican movies are everywhere, by
far the most popular films in
Spain, which may account for the
interest. 1t is possible, too, that
Frances controlled press has pro-
vided little discussion on the Am
erican and United Nations atti-
tude toward Spain.
Class distinctions are very
sharp, particularly between the
middle and lower classes. The
latter are very poor and there
are many beggars on the streets.
The workingman - he earns be-
tween 20 and 80 pesetas per day
($1.20 to $1.80 in our money, at
the tourist rate) - simply can't
afford good decent clothing. A
pair of workmen's shoes, for ex-
ample, at the controlled price,

Living Our Religion

N/HAT we are determines what
w, people think Of our religion,
not what we say about our religious
life. James tells us in Sundays les
son that faith without works is
dead. It is that very truth that our
generation so much needs to get
hold upon.
We have many perplexing situa-
lions in our world. Racial differ
ences, differences regarding capital
and labor, and SO forth and so on.
How are these problems to be
solved? BY resolutions? We know
that many very pious resolutions
have been adopted concerning these
problems. but still the problems
remain.
One Christian In any given COM
munity who applies the teaching
Of James to everyday life will
start q train Of events that will
add up TO the solution Of any prob
lem, social, economic or what not.
We must translate our beliefs into
action.

JAMES goes on to assure us that
y when we undertake faithfully to
live our religion, we may conf
IDENTIFY claim the promise Of God
that il any man lack wisdom, let
him ask of God who giveth literally
unto all men, and upbraideth not.
The conclusion of the whole mat
ter, therefore, is to face life as we
find it, taking into account the
actual facts, and boldly and conf
IDENTIFY tackling the job in the assur-
ance that the grace Of the Lord
Jesus Christ is always SUFFICIENT for
any and every situation.
The more excellent way Of
the Golden Rule Is the answer TO
the whole matter. But the Golden
Rule is impotent until II Is trans
lated into action.
And the best Of 1t all il that IL
actually works. When someone
asked Morrison what Christianity
was doing for China, he replied:
christianity is changing China into
a community Of Cog" That Is pre-
cisely what this lesson will do for
your community, II you apply its
teachings TO life as you And ii.

Doors Of the Word

JAMES makes much of practical
- religion in everyday life. He
tells us that we are to be doors of
the word and not mere savers of
the word, or hearers Of the word.
And here he meanS the Word OF
God-the will Of God.
Is there . misunderstood boy in
your block? Is there 4 girl In
your class at school who suffers
from some bitter criticism? This
lesson would suggest to every
Christian boy and girl to 60 in
sympathetic understanding to
such neighbors and help them to
overcome these handicaps. Thus
we become doors Of the will Of
God.
