BABSON PARK, Mass, March 21-'This is Lent
Millions of people throughout the world, Catholics,
PrOtestants and others keep Lent In fact the keep
ing of Lent" is partly based on Old Testament He
brew fasting periods The Lenten Season is a good
time to ask, "What is wrong with the world and
Ourselves?"
THE VOICE OF LENT
Lent is an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning
Spring" The connection is Obvious,-the commem-
OratiOn comes in the spring; therefore the name
Spring is given which is Lent. But there is still
another and better connection. Spring is the time
of renewal of the earth the promise Of the soil.
So Lent is a time for the renewal of the Spirit.
Lent calls us to consider Religious Faith the
needed driving force of our existence Jesus-in
whose Lent is now hOnOred-was uncOnven-
tOnal and uncOmpromising. He preached repent
and forgiveness He prayed intensively; not
habit prayers but prayers sprnging frcm deep inner
impulses. Jesus demanded of His follOwers-that
they lead life of service and self-sacrifce. His
one principle of action that love an
other His creed His belief i'm the intrinsic
worth of every human being The thing that set
Jesus so completely apart from men of all time
His deep-seated spiritual faith in God and the
ultimate goodness of Every devoted Jew
agrees to this.
SELECTING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
The most important question today should be
this: "Is Jesus religion something we can live by?
Is it worth reproduction? Is it something to guide
Presidential Candidate?" lot of people who do
not often think much or talk about religion
are beginning to wonder if many OF our political
troubles do not come from neglect of the Spirit.

BABSON Discusses Lent

have become pretty much convinced that two
things are needed to save this old world of ours CD
q revolutionary invention such the harnessing OF
gravity, which would give people everywhere great
new source of power and thereby make lifes neces-
stiles cheaper and within closer reach OF more
people; and (2) spiritual rebirth of the nations
of the world, such as came to Saul OF Tarsus Re
member, how, when he was pressing hOtly the per-
seCutiOn of Jesus followers, light and power
from above took hold of him. The same was true of
every great leader of history. Before vote in No
vember for a President want to know which can
didates are praying men. "ls he a man OF the
Spirit?" will be my first consideration. Because
Saul of Tarsus was thus changed to Paul, through
love- the regeneration of Europe began and the
foundations of a new civilization were laid.
SPIRITUAL REBIRTH NEEDED
Read Whitaker Chambers story titled, Il Was
the Witness" if you want a picture of the ultimate
in Godlessness. It will chill you to the marrow.
The fruits of this way of life to be found in the
shambles of Europe and concentration camps of
Siberia Yet were it not for the churches and
preachers our country could be in the same mser-
able condition.
We are today caught in a great worldwide
struggle, a struggle between a materialistic world
and a world of the Spirit There are those who do
not yet feel the need for religion They think Science
and Technology will ultimately solve all of our
problems. l cannot agree to this because believe
that the very freedom for which fighting is
not thing of the Mind; it is a thing of the Spirit

ton.
By 1875, the population of the
U. S. will be about 190,000,000. 1t
will require 53O,O0O,OOO acres of
cropland to feed it at the diet levels
of 1935-1939 and there won't
be that much land! Government
estimators figure that we now have
462,000,000 acres that could be put
into crops, and by 1875 will have a
possible maximum of 5O7,O0O,000
acres capable of production, which
is still 23,000OO0 short.
And maybe, we'll have even more
mouths to feed, since a later re-
port from statisticians of the Uni
ted Nations reports such a drop in
death-rates and increase in birth
rates that nineteen nations can ex-
pect to double their populations in
the next 28 years.
There's been a lot of joking about
our synthetic foods of the future,
getting a full dinner out of a slot
machine, in pill form. But the old
meat-and-pOtatoes habit is going
to be hard to break. Personally, we
don't want to try. So we hope the
American farmer will continue his
tremendous progress in soil con-
servatiOn and crop improvement
/ And, it's none too soon for a day
of public thanksgiving and recOg
milton TO the far-sighted men anC
women who organized and enCOur
aged such movements as the. Four
H Clubs and the Future Farmers

We believe it will take more thar
bug-a-boo statistics to frightel
these young people, and that th'
farmers of 1875 will meet their re
spOnsibilities as fully as the far
mers of 1862.

OUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH is
IMPORTANT. ARE WE GUARDING
TT PROPERLY?
Are We dOing right bY our kids

Are we doing right by our kids?
From all indications, no. In terms of their
health, present and future, we are letting
them down. 1t is a recognized fact that many
of the medical and dental conditions discover

nations are not followed up for treatment.
Why?
Why is it that in one state, for instance,
out of $1,000 children who were found to
have something wrong with their eyes, less
than 5000 had been taken by their parents
to the family physician by the time of the
next school medical examination. This is not

by parents greater, far greater?
Why is it that a study Of four other COM

had been taken to the doctor for treatment? I?

ARE WE HEADING FOR A
DEPRESSION?

AS everyone knows, the arms program is
playing an increasingly important role in
sustaining and expanding the American eco
nOmy. This year we will spend close to $780,
00O,O00,000 for national security purposes.
The peak annual rate may be as much as
$65,000,000,O0O. So a great many people are
wondering just what is going to happen
when, and if, war spending is sharply reduc-
ed. In other words, will we be in for another
big depression?
Answers to that run the gamut, from the
peSsimists who think the next depression
will dwarf that of the 30s, to the Optimistists
who argue that any really substantial break
Is virtually impossible. One interesting and
informed discussion of the possibilities re-
Gently appeared in u. S. News & World Re-
port. 1t took the form of an interview with
A. S. Mcleod, who is chief Of that magazines
Economic Unit, and who served for many
years as an economist and cOnsultant for pri-
vate business in the field Of trend forecasting.
In Mr.. McLeOd's opinion, a crash on the
1929 scale is "highly improbable" for the
reason that "the situation after the arms
program slows and StabiliZeS is to bear no
semblance to that Of 1929" AS he points
out, there have been no such exceSses in
security speculation as there were then. In
those days, securities were widely held on
long margins, and some 80 per cent of all
loans by Federal Reserve member banks
were against securities. Today, he says, Sc
curity loans total less than five per cent of
all outstanding loans, and most securities
are owned outright.
He also finds the situation very different
from that of 1929 in the case of mortgage
credit. Then mortgages were written for
relatively short periods Of time and were not
of the amOrtizing type. Today the typical
mortgage runs for Is years or more, and is
gradually amortiZed-in other words, the
mortgage pays it off much as a man pays
rent. Thus, Mr.. Mcleod observes, 'there
cannot be a forced liquidation of this type of
credit either on urban dwellings or on farms.
He says also, Bank failures, under almost
any conceivable situation, are thing of the
past on a wholesale scale"
This doesn't mean that he believes the
outlook to be 100 per cent rosy. His guess
is that when the arms spending is heavily
cut back, the level of general industrial activ-
ity may decline 10 to 20 per cent and total
national spending might drop around 10 pei
cent. This decline will last one to two years
"By that time" he says, ''if government pO
licieS are not diScOuraging to businessmen
things probably would get better"
Mr.. Mcleod lays heavy stress on our rap
i'd population rise-a factor which he thinks
is not getting as much attention as it de
serves. Our population is growing at ratt
of 100000 year or so, and new family un
its are being formed at the rate of 1,OOOOOt
year. That, he points out, means -heav!
demand for homes, appliances, automobiles
and all kinds of goods, services, and facilities
In sum, Mr.. Mcleod sees some rougl
spots ahead but nothing comparable to '29
Many other serious students of trends are il
general agreement with him. He may b
right-anG then again, he could be wrong.

"Tf Amy Nan Hunger, Let
Him Eat At Home"

Does General of the Army Dwight
D. Eisenhower regard the New
Hampshire primary victory as the
clear call to duty" he has demand
ed before throwing his present
world-eminence in the scales of pO-
litical battle? Only the answer to
that question, in spite of all the
reams of exporting, will tell us
whether or not the New Hampshire
voting was significant.
On the heels of the Eisenhower
weekend sessions with Paul G.
Hoffman, former Economic CoOr-
dinatiOn Administrator, and now
president of the Ford Foundation,
and General Lucius ID. Clay, for
mer U. S. Commander in Western
Germany, comes the word that Ike
is wrestling with the problem of
deciding whether to quit his job as
Commander in Chief of NATO and
come home before convention time.
Further, his decision is expected in
the next few weeks.
1t is also reported that the two
groups supporting the Eisenhower
boom, the Citizens Committee, un-
der Arthur Vandenberg, Jr., and the
Lodge -Duff-Dewey cohorts have
agreed to ask Ike to come back
home between May Is and June 1.
A secret session of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, con-
sidering whether or not to recall
the General to testify on the ST.
9OO,OOO.OOO mutual security pro-
| gram, is said to have voted 6 to 5
against, but may reconsider the
question after hearing testimony
from his chief of staff, General AL
fred NJ. Gruenther on the European
phase. We. have it on the authority
of "an informed source" in Paris
however, that Eisenhower will re.
turn if he feels his testimony is
needed to secure passage of the
bill.
Thus, it will be a pleasant change
to have word from the Genera
himself. That, we can believe. AnC
until then, it seems highly imprac
tical to even speculate on his do
nestle political views, if any.
