Military Aid for China
Demanded by Taft;

BY the Associoted Press

DETROIT, Feb. Ex-senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio today
called for American military help
for China.
He termed President Truman's
$4,000, 900 assistance plan a "relief
program" which will completely fail
to solve the problem" of Commun-
ist pressure,
Senator Taft said Secretary of
State Marshall had been unwilling
ly forced" into drafting the aid pro-
gram sent to Congress last week.
The truth is," the Senator said
in addressing an Economic Club
luncheon that Secretary Marshall
does not like the Chinese and has
no interest in their problems, ;"
The Ohioan, candidate for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton, said he considers the Far East
as ultimately more important to
peace than Europe.
Fears Loss of Manchuria..
Yet today in China, he added,
I'VE continue a policy which threat
ems to undo in the Far East every
thing the Marshall Plan is trying to
do in Western Europe"
Senator Taft declared that unless
vigorous action is taken immediately,
all Manchuria will be lost to com
munism." And if that happens, he
asked, "how can We hope that in
future years we will be able to keep
it out of Japan?"
The Senator said the matter of
relief and rehabilitation for China is
open to question. But, he added:
Certainly we can provide the
Chinese government with the arms
and ammunition necessary to resist
Communist forces in Manchuria as
we have undertaken to resist them
in Greece
Hits State Department.
Senator Taft said that during the
early war years Americans were
taught to regard Chang Kai-shek
as this country's greatest friend.
Now, he continued, every Com
mie sympathizer in the United
States is damning Chang Kai-shek.
He was the same man then
with the same faults that he has
now, but forces in the State Depart
ment have encouraged the propa-
ganda against him. Yet he is today
the only hope to prevent the spread
of communism in China"

Greatest Hero of Liberty

The city to which George
Washington gave his name for
mally celebrated the 216th ami
versity of his birth today. Since
February %, Washington's birth
day, fell on Sunday this year,
today became a holiday for most
of the city.
District and Arlington schools
were closed but those in nearby
Montgomery, Prince Georges and
Fairfax Counties were open. Alex
andria schools compromised-they
were open half day only so school
children could watch the annual
parade at 2 pm. in that Virginia
city so closely associated with the
Father of His Country.
One of the speakers who lauded
the first President was Justice Mar
vim Jones of the Court of Claims. He
referred to Washington as the man
who carried the torch of human
liberty farther and made it shine
brighter than any other man who
ever trod the earth"
Justice Jones gave the principal
address at exercises in the Memorial

attended the meeting, which was the
34th joint celebration sponsored by
the Sons of the American Revolu-

Justice Jones spoke chiefly OF the
Constitutional Convention presided
over by Washington in Philadelphia.
He pointed out that his basic Amer

Referring to the organizations

To prevent overpayments of SUBJ
sistence allowances, the Veterans
Administrator urges EXCL students
and their schools to notify VA as
soon as a veteran breaks off or
completes his program.
A veteran student in training un-
der the CT Bill is not entitled to
subsistence allowances after the
date he interrupts or completes his
training. In some cases, veterans
stop their training and receive ad-
ditional payments before VA is
notified of their change in status
All such overpayments must be re-
funded to the government.
Advance notice is preferable
whenever a decision is made to dis
continue training. However, prompt
notice Immediately after such g
break in training will prevent most
overpayments.

value OF the Kingdom as the gift
of God, SO great that it exceeds
the highest imagination and
transcends all expectation. 1t is
interesting to note that one man
found. the treasure almost by
accident and the other found his
by searching for it until he
found it. Each recognized, how
ever, the value of the treasure
was willing to sacrifice every
other treasure in order to
possess this one.
While we are only given the
parable of the Lost Sheep for
our consideration, in Luke Is:
80, we find three parallels, all
emphasizing the unfailing care Of
our Heavenly Father for the
single human soul, no matter
how sinful and wayward he may
be. While human society may
give him up for lost, dismiss
him as hopeless and proceed to
forget him, God never forsakes
or forgets him. We cannot help
feeling that there is a gentle re-
buke in the parallels of the lost
sheep and that of the lost coin.
Most of us tolerate the loss of a
human soul much more easily
than we do the loss of property,
but God has a different scale of
values.
The Parable of the Prodigal
Son is the climax Of the series
and probably the outstanding
parable of Jesus. The story has
probably been the means Of more
men and women living apart
from the will of God, turning
back to him than any other. It
tells of the generous love Of the
Father, the folly of the wayward
son plunging him into the lowest
depths of degradation, the hard
msensibility of the elder brother,
who had mistaken servility for
loyal service. 1t tells of the way
ward sons realization of the
depths to which he had fallen,
his recognition Of the better
life offered by his Father and
his forsaking the ways of sin to
return to his Fathers home. The
beautiful reconciliation between
/ the son and his father reveals
that no man can come to his
real self without turning his steps
toward the Fathers house in
which alone that self can live
| and grow
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-11-26

We are prone to think of the
parable as something that was
peculiar to the teaching minis
try of Jesus, but there are many
examples of this type of teach
J ing in the Old Testament, in the
teachings of the Greek philoso-
piers, and also in public speak
ing today. However, the master
of this form of teaching was
Jesus, the master Teacher. He
stands as the supreme creator
and narrator of simple stories
and pithy sayings of great spirit
ual consequence.
The definition of parable"
1 that we like best is: "a parable
is an earthly story with a heaven
ly meaning" Jesus used this
method of teaching to best ad-
vantage wrapping up a portion
of truth in compact and under
standable form, so that even if
his hearers could not fully COM
prehend the implications of the
story, they could remember the
parable for future meditation.
There are parallels and allie
Dgories in the Old Testament. A
mong them is the story which
the prophet Nathan told to Dav-
i'd the King, about the man who
demanded the sacrifice of the
owners one lamb, with its point
ed lesson, "Thou art the man."
There is also the story of the
Vineyard told by Isaiah, these of
Ezekiel about the two eagles and
a vine and of the caldron.
, More familiar to the average
: Bible student are the brief para
bles of Jesus, all dealing with
various aspects of the Kingdom
of God. The parable of the
mustard sc d contrasts the
seeming insignificance of the
Kingdom with its actual great
ness and power. Men may deem
it a beautiful but poWerless ideal
but in it are the creative forces
of God himself.
4 The same theme is developed
in the parable of the leaven, on
" here it is the working of the
Kingdom as a power permeat-
ing life itself, constantly at work
to bring it to the state for which
it was intended.
The parable of the Hidden
Treasure and the pearl of great
price, emphasizes the supreme
