well, however, for not to take too much such simple explanation. Latin American natonaisn- cas- fly offended and volcanic when disturbed-is a much probable cause.
 Considering the decacy of Latin American sensibli- ties the United States should proceed softly The bg stck is outmoded in Pan American relations But the hemisphere importance of the canal defense is such that cannot simply let it drop. Panama remains ada mant, should invoke machinery of nter-Amercan defense recently approved at Rio. The question offers proper test of American defensive solidarity
 The U. S. official reaction has been sound We have acted immediately to troops from the ques toned areas, leaving grounds for anti-American propaganda In doing making actions suit profession of respect for the sovereignty of other nations.
 might be noted that Russia which has been the big gest breastbater for national sovereignty would have acted otherwise. If Russia in position, there would by now have been "soptaneous" uprising against the Panama government, just there has been in every country on Russias European border.
 This contrast will be noted, to good credit, in democratic capitals of the world

The Danger Of National Schizophrenia

 IN THE "COID WAR; with Russia, the front is vast shifting and nebulous-but noneheless real It is in the factories of western Europe it is the docks it in the grain fields of North America the halls of Congress and is in the minds of people whom want to bring to side. It is fought with food chimes and ideas.
 There is "hot war; too of whose existence we have lately been reminded by the mounting crisis in Greece There, the is fought with bullets and bodies. The proclamation of an independent Communist state in Greece with the prospect it will be supported by the Russian puppe states to the north has proved the real character of the Greek conflict It longer be de- ned to be the resistance of an independent nation to ternal Communist aggression.
 It seems almost too obvious to mention that the cold war" and the "hot war; are one and the same Yet there is danger of confusion There is common impress sion-mistaken we think that the American policy in Greece is unrelated to the policy in western Europe
 This thought has been ostered by those who opposed the Truman doctrine" of military aid to Greece but who later acclaimed the Marshall plan" of economic aid to Europe. Military aid to nation under actual a tack wrong, but economic aid to nations less d- recty threatened was all right these persons apparent ly believed
 The danger in such distinction is that it tends tow ard the same schizophrena of national policy which

That's That
 By BRUCE GUSTIN

Whether Congress reduces taXe or not, there is one glaring ir equity in federal income taxe which should be corrected. That the discrimination against mal ried couples in non-communit property states. Five million ma, ried persons living in thirty-si states are taxed at a higher ra than married couples in twelI other states. There is no concei' able justification for that.
 Members of Congress are begi ming to wake up to the fact tn discrimination between commo law and community-prope r | states is hitting most of them the pocket. Senator Mcclellan Arkansas has discovered that has to pay $656 more federal i come tax on his salary than is l quired of the Senators from thr neighboring community-proper states-Louisiana, Texas and Q lahoma. Self interest, if nothi else, should impel Congressm and Senators from three-fourt of the States to revise the tax Ia so tax rates will be the same all states.

Thanks To The Coal Miners

(By Jack FOSter)
 BRITISH COAL MINERS now seem almost certain to have reached their governments 1947 production goal-200 million tons
 Such achievement appeared all but impossible up to few months ago. It is a vastly important contribu- tion to brightenng their countrys economic outlook
 Americans also can be happy about the fine job our coal miners have been doing As of Dec. 20 the U S. Bureau of Mines has just reported their 1947 output totaed 3671 900 tons By the months end they to close to the all-time record-620 million tons, made in wartime 1914.
 Here, certainly is respect in which this country is far better off than it the year before For that thank the fact that 1947 like 1914 comparative peace in the coal fields.
 Last year there were two general production stop- pages-the two-week mourning period" last April for victims of the Cenraa, H., mine disaster and the 1O- day official holiday in June But otherwise the miners worked steadily and we'll and doubtless would have boosted output higher if coal cars had been available.
 It wasn't big enough unfortunately, to repair the damage done in the bad year of 1946 when two nation wide coal strikes cost than weeks of production These, following long steel strike, dealt the country blows from which it is still suffering.
 The loss of millions of tons of steel which could not be made because steel workers weren't working or be- coal was not mined has been major factor in the continuing shortage of that material which is basic to most of our manufacturing industries.
 It has had great deal to do with present price troubles Its bghting effects aren't likely to be over- come fully for long time.
 But mourning the terrible price paid for past n dustrial conflicts do good We have to be thankful that the miners now producing nightly in return for wages which, by former standards give them much better returns for their hard and dangerous toll
 The average wage in the soft-coal mines is nearly $1.80 an hour and average weekly earnings above $70.
 Let's hope that they will the advantages to them selves and to the rest of of maintaining industrial peace in 1948 and beyond
 For in America, as in Britain and in many other countries, coal the foundation essential to sound and lasting recovery.

acle He ever performed. For He
contained within Himself all that
was possible for God to express OF
His own nature. Into the Divine
character and words and works OF
Jesus, God chose to crowd every
thing possible of Himself. He was,
in a way beyond our comprehension,
the incarnation of God. Away back
in the Old Testament times, Isaiah
and the other prophets had fore
CLEANS of this One who was to
come and to be mans great sharer
and master and guide.
Whoever walks with Him expert
ences a changed life. Wherever He
is accepted, there fundamental al
terations appear in the life OF the
individual and community. Jesus
makes things different. In His COM
panionship new fortitude Is found
for clean and courageous and help
full living. BY Him-the mystery OF
grace!-men come to the Father
and are changed into the likeness
Of His Son.
To read current books and mag
azines, and to listen to current radio
programs might, easily deceive one
into the belief that our world has
gone to pot. We commonly over
look the vast body Of Christian peo-
ple whose deepest and highest am
bition in life is to be well-pleasing
unto Jesus Christ. The Church. in
spite of present indifferentism and
secularism, is a growing church.
Men have more than usual concern
for things spiritual More and more
leaders in public life are seeing that
only by the Christian way can man
kind come to peace. In quiet FASH
ion, beyond all recording by the
press, the Message and Power OF
Jesus are spreading. For He alone
has the answer to our times prob
lem, and He alone can give the
leadership adequate to the days
need. He alone is. a Savior.
