The gospel writers say that after the temptation in
the wilderness where he rejected the worldly ideal Of the
synagogue the Sabbath Day. and when he stood up
these words:
"The spirit of the Lord hath Amounted me to preach
good idngs the meek He hath sent me to bind UP
the broken-hearted to proclaim liberty to the capves
and the opening of the prisons them that bound
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord etc. So the

He chose the course to relieve humanity of the ills
that made life gloomy and burdensome for vast numbers
He would praise goodness, relieve suffering wipe away
tears and prison bars Yes he would make men
free and brohery and establish peaceful world Do
have any indications of such world?
Yes The social gospel the church has proclaimed has
brought to pass many things in lives Space will al

NO BOMBS alone will win this

ruin on both sides. What the

better living. All Asia and Africa
as well as the West needs a re-
newed faith in Christmas and an

Given these religious powers, the
peoples everywhere will endure
the modern Caesars, tyrants and
exploiters as they have for cen
turtles past. May this Christmas
provide the inspiration for future
peace.

II know of no way of judging
the future but by the past"
PATRICK HENRY


THE BIBLE tells of the first
Christmas almost 1000 years ago.
At that time people walked
about, as today, engrossed in
material mentality, a pagan wor-
ship of money, power, lust and
conquest. Rome and lesser EN-
pires were in power vieing for
supremacy" There were armies,
navies, deadly weapons, wealth
and Injuries. The ill-fed bar
barians" were becoming a
menace.
A TELEVISION "flicker-back"
to the past would show these So
called "barbarians" were Euro
pean as well as Eastern peoples.
They included the ancestors of
the Britons, Celts, Germans,
French and other peoples whose
natural development was curbed
or exploited by the Caesars. The
Roman colonial policy drained
the wealth of foreign lands. The
subject peoples were often slaves
sold at the market. Or fed to
savage beasts.
THE WORLD conditions 1000
years ago seem to have much
similarity with today. Exploited
peoples everywhere were crying
out for freedom, food and justice.
There was hunger, conflict and
suffering. There was great hope
for a Saviour. There were lead
ers in the great Roman and other
empires who made speeches say
ing the "barbarians" would de-
stroy the world. But the world
has outlived 'barbarians'' of
every race. s~
CHRISTMAS represents the
birth in Bethlehem of the faith
which first surprised, shocked
and finally toppled Rome. It
was a new Holy Law that men
are not "barbaric enemies" but
must be treated as brothers, re-
CARELESS of race OF creed. To
dlsobey this Law meant punish
ment. For 1000 years men have
sought to evade this Law and
escape punishment.
80 ~ Sc
NOT ONE single nation has
escaped the punishment which
arose from the exploitation of
the people. Rome tried frantic
ally to do SO. King Herod, the
puppet ruler of Judea sought to
Stay the boy babies. Rome event
ually tried to destroy Christians
wholesale. Eitler, in later days.
tried to destroy the Jews. None
OF these pogroms have endured.
But regimes which launched
such destruction are now past
history.
- ~ ~
MODERN DAY historians, like
the late H. G. Wells. pointed out
often that the era of colonial
exploitation of "barbarians" by
Western Powers must either
cease or invite disaster. 1t was
urged for a long time, even be-
fore Gandhi, that Asia and Africa
be allowed to develop under
democratic patterns of freedom

THE PROPOSED WATER CODE

When the Fairbankes News Miner last week
reported the existence of a proposed Water Code for
Alaska the repercussons were immediate. They
much more violent, informed, in Interior
Alaska than along the coast.
This is understandable. The proposed bill would
place all surface fresh in the Territory
and lakes) under the control of the Highway En-
gneer
Running water is particularly vital to the placer
mining industry of the Interior and the miners do not
relish having apportioned to them by superin-
tendents appointed by the Highway Engineer
The full implications of the bill itself will require
study and investigation What interests us at the
moment the political repercussons caused by the
announcement of the bills existence
In Juneau Governor Gruening told an Empire
reporter, II far from certain that such bill is
now needed and that if it is needed now the present
form is best"
An explanation accompanying the bill says 1.-THE
Departmental Field Committee Gnterior Department.
and the Governor Alaska requested the assistance
of the Bureau of Reclamation in the preparation of
comprehensive water law for the Territory with a
possible submission by the Governor to the
Legislature for it's consideration"
Frank Metcalf, Territorial Highway Engineer, said
he had heard about the bill but had not it. 1t
was to him, he said, that the Highway Engineer
being considered administrator
A preliminary draft of the bill was furnished
Judge Heentha of Juneau, according to the expana-
ton accompanying the bill. The explanation does
not perhaps unfortunately include Judge Hellenthals
comments.
Up in Anchorage, Senator Victor c. Rivers who
has had considerable to do with water surveys for
the Department of Health made an interesting state
ment The Anchorage Times reported that Senator
Rivers branded wholly unfounded' report that
plan afoot to place all waters inside Alaska
under control of the Territorial Highway Engineer"
A few comments have also been heard from men
interested in mining in the Interior of Alaska. We
regret that they mainly in terms that are I'M
printable.
1t seems extremely doubtful that Alaska needs
such legislation at the present time When there is
demand for this type of legislation, believe our
legislators will be capable of discerning the need and
of caring for it without prodding from bureau of
the Federal government.
