Merry Christmas!

Sunday we of the Christian world will again celebrate
the birthday Of our Lord, as we have done for 1919 years.
: and the editors and staff wish to take this opportunity to
z'wish for our readers the happiest of holidays and a new
"year filled with prosperity and contentment.
This will be the fifth Christmas that we have cele-
sbrated since the end ofathe last wal which saw the world
saflame to its farthermost corners. Those five years have
seen a troubled and beset world pulling and hauling for
positions that could well lead to a third, and final, conflict.
As we look back bver the Is centuries that have elapsed
-since Jesus died on Calvary. we see many wars and con-
~flicts. much trouble but little of the principles of love and
humility for which He lived and died.
s We can have little collective peace on earth until
we purge our individual hearts of bitterness and preju-
@dices. nor can we be classed as true disciples of Christ un-
Ill we accept the brotherhood Of man as the elementary
-rule of living.
r As the birthday of the One who came to earth for us
sdraws nearer, we can see ever more clearly that the ills of
the world stem from the human frailties against which
Christ preached and that the principles for which He lived
and died are far from achievement, even in our own so
called Christian land, almost two thousand years after
His death.
All of our complex machinery and organizations that
I'VE passing mortals attempt to set up for the achievement
of world peace will inevitably come to nothing (as they
1have down through the centuriesl unless they are founded
on the principles that Christ brought to earth and which
we, with our hates, p%rejudiees and ~selfishness, persistently
ignore as individuals. When we become willing to live by
1.-The unselfish teachings laid down by our Saviour, our
sgrasping hands may touch peace.
1t might be profitable for us to ponder these thoughts
1ew7a frailties before passing judgment on our fellow man.

Washington-The United States
is welding a small stick against
the Communist Chinese govern
ment by falling to recognize it.
But a high diplomatic authority
says non,recognition can't last
forever.
In the long run, he says. the
withholding of recognition is not
a powerful lever. US recognition
gives prestige and strength to a
new government, but once other
governments have accorded rec
ignition, a nod from the US
would not mean so much as it
would now.
Angus Ward Case Cited
BY withholding recognition at
this time, the US hopes to make
it clear to the Chinese Reds that
it doesn't intend to accept on an
equal diplomatic footing any ma
ton which doesn't fulfill its in
ternational obligation. The Reds
mistreatment of Angus Ward and
other American citizens was
enough in itself to disgust Amer
lean diplomats.
To obtain American recogni-
iion. Secretary of State Aeneson
has said. the Chinese Communists
must not only live up to their
international obligations. They
also must control their whole
country. and the Chinese people
must at least aequiesce in their
rule.
For generations the American
government has required that
new governments meet those tests
before they r recognized. Tho

doesn't mean approval-only that

Parents are becoming more and
more aware that jealousy in chill
dren is often a very real prob
lem. And not knowing what to
do about it, many parents are
worried. Perhaps they have one
baby and r thinking of having
another, or they have two chill
dren and may have noticed signs
of jealousy in n Or the other.
"You will run into jealousy"

at the medical schools of George
Washington university and Mary

be jealousy, but the depth of
jealous feeling will vary with
each child. It will depend on his

whether they enjoy him and love
him, or whether their affection
depends ON his good behavior.
ut will depend, too, on whether
both parents understand the

agree on the approach to his prob

Washington - Those. rectang-
ular green pieces of paper you
carry in your pocketbook are just
about as popular as any eommod-
ity in the world today. When
proud old nations knuckled under
and devalued their currencies to
make them worth less in terms of
the American dollar, the young
American greenback really came
into its own.
Once upon a time it wasn't
worth a Continental" That was
when the Continental Congress
turned out 210, 900, 900 on printing

olution. In terms of gold and 9TH

al dollars were worth only a frae-
ton of their face value.
Coming Began In 1893
The dollar got on its feet when
Congress, after the Constitution
had been adopted, established the
present monetary system in 1892.
Congress began coming dollars at
the Philadelphia mint in 1892.
They were all metal coins -
gold eagles (worth 500 and frac-
tions of eagles, silver dollars and
fractions of dollars and copper
cents and half cents.
The federal government didn't
turn out any paper money until
the Civil war, when "greenbacks"
were first issued. Banks operat-

tiers issued notes as currency -

There ended DR.. GoWanloch's
memorandum. We'd like to add
that location of this canning
industry could mean develop
ment of our rural areas as well
as the waters that wash our

probably will, can vegetables

farmers, large and small, an
outlet for the fruits of their
farms, and would therefore add
to the economy of these areas.

gress.
At any rate Congress must ac-
quiesce for no ambassador can
be accredited until the Senate
has confirmed him. In China's
case, the administration has pro-
missed that the President would
not extend recognition until after
the State Department had dis
cussed the matter with the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
In 1918, when the question of
recognizing the new Chinese Re-
public came up, the issue was
holly debated. A group in Con-
gress felt that the President was
delaying too long and a resolu-
ton was introduced declaring
that the new government was
recognized. But it never passed.

Withholding Recognition OF China
Cant Last Forever, Says Diplomat

tary of State Acheson. Eve may
have the gravest reservations as
to the matter in which it has
come into power. We may de
plore its attitude toward civil
l~iberaties. Yet our long-range OBJ
~jectives in the promotion of dem
ocratic institutions may, in fact,
be best served by recognizing it
and thus maintaining a channel
of communication with the coun-
try involved
Recognition of a new govern
ment has advantages for both
sides. That's the reason some
other countries are reported to
be eager to recognize the Chinese
Reds as soon as possible. II opens
the channels of diplomatic inter
course. Before recognition envoys
of foreign powers have no i'm
munitY. no diplomatic status.
They are treated like private
citizens and can be of only limit
ed use TO the governments they
represent. If an envoy of a coun-
try you don't recognize turns up
in your country. you can deport
him a. an alien illegal in u
country.
An unreeognized government
can't be prosecuted before inter-
national tribunals in case it fails
to live up to treatries and other
obligations. One government
doesn't have access to the courts
of another nation unless it is
recognized. 1t couldn't sue to en-
force contracts and to obtain
damages for eonfiscation of prop
erty. Under such circumstances,
a government finds il hard to
make loans or to write contracts
for purchases.

But the dollar managed to hold
its own in relation to gold and the
mighty British pound. Through
most of our history the pound has
been worth about $4.86. After the
first World War it began to slip.
In 1920 the pound was worth only
$3.50. It was back to its normal
$4.86 by 1880. But in 1882 it
dropped to its lowest point up to
that time, to $3.50 in US money.
Then it fluctuated wildly. In
1884 it reached the highest value
of which the Federal Reserve
system as a record, $500. In 1941
it sold for 81 o., and that was its
official rate until the recent de-
valuation sent it down to $3.50.
We're Worlds Banker
The reason for the rise of the
dollar in relation to the pound is
primarily Americas new position
as a creditor nation. For more
than a century we bought more
from the rest of the world than
the world bought from us. But
in about 1926 we became the
worlds investment banker. Now

a perfectly normal reaction; usu-
ally it is an unconscious attitude
or feeling which bothers him and
makes him as uncomfortable as
it does his parents.
It is the poor handling, the mis-
management of jealousy which
use trouble, not the feeling it
self; it is the failure of the par
ents to recognize the existence of
jealousy, or their downright sup
preston of it, that produces such
unhappy results.
Must Show Troubles
We can say that a child is jail
Gus when ne wants something
someone else has. The child who
is troubled has to find some way
of showing it. A two-year-eld, for
example. may revert to his in
fantile habits of no toilet train
ing. Or, he may strike his infant
sister or pull her out of her crib,
or worse.
But DR.. Ziman says he shouldn't
be regarded with horror. as If
his parents have suddenly discov-
cred they were harboring a mon
ster. They cannot get very far by
him because they have
not treasured him tht he has not
lost their love. In fact punishment
at such times will only help con-
vince him that he has lost their
love.
A little cid needs to feel loved
and needs to have this love dem
onstrated even more when there
is a new baby. The reinsurance
that he belongs, that he is still
very much loved, that he was and
is a nice cid, needs repetition
over and over in both words and
acts.
