of wines the gentlemen not only
tasted but slowly slipped with

secretary of State and situation

member of the Washington
chapter-or Sous-Commanderie

small stag gathering. All the
gentlemen looked more elegant
in their dinner clothes with the
decorative ribbon of the Che
valierS around their necks-red
with a yellow stripe-from
which was suspended the little
shallow silver cup for wine
tasting.

in the Washington group which
is bona flde branch of the 300
year-old organization of Che

bearing upon his sinless shoulders
the iniquities of all.
Such is the Old Testament: the
reality of the Covenant of Sinai
and the promise of the Messianic
Covenant are the two poles be-
tween which every word of this
portion of the Scriptures finds its
place.
God Is Faithful
Where the Old is promise, the
New Testament is fulfillment. God
is faithful, though men are rot,
and the Gospels tell us how the
promises were kept in the Divine
Person of Jesus of Nazareth. There
follow the Acts of the Apostles
which give the history of the new
Israel during the first decades of
its existence.
The EpistleS are pastoral letters
which give us glimpse of how the
new SOIICiH was taught anu SoN-
erned And finally the great Apoc-
alypse of st. John, in spite of its
many obscurities, gives us key
TO the meaning of the worlds his
tory down to the end of time; the
perennial struggle between good
and evil will from now on be con-
centrated in the struggle between
the Church of the New Covenant
and Antichrist in his various mani
festations, and while in this strug-
gle the Church may lose battles.
she will not lose the war, for in
the end Church Militant will be
completely transformed into eter-
nal Church Triumphant.
If they are read with this out
line in mind, the Scriptures will
unfold a grandeur that is COM
pletely hidden from those who
read only isolated chapters or
verses. Humanity, through time
into eternity, from the creation to
the end of time. and God ever pres
ent as the Lord of human history
what other book has so majestic
a theme?

affiliation would permit economy
of operation, coordination of
projects, and increased conf
dence in the corporation. But
the funds, according to the re-
port, would need to be separated,
since the corporation would
make risk investments while the
bank makes loans that call
for Government guarantees
and payments on rigid time
schedules.
The report did not spell out
how the proposed corporation
would be organized, but listed
general principles. According to
the Reconstruction Bank plan,
the corporation would not own
the controlling share of stock in
any project. It would be able
to sell it's stock for an ap-
propriate sum and invest in an
other venture when pertinent.
The corporation still would
look to private investors for
primary initiative in suggesting
projects.
THE measure of the corpora
tion's success" the report de-
clared, would be the flow Of
capital it generated. directly and
indirectly, from private in
vestors."
The report did caution that
the corporation would not be a
solve-it-all, but simply another
tool for economic development.
Pilot Project
Nearly all experts concerned
seem to agree that the existing
patchwork of developmental
aids falls far short of meeting
current demands. A recent pro-
posal by Johnston would move
from. the general to the specific.
He proposes inviting one under
developed country to work with
this country "in a laboratory
test of measures that can be
taken now to break the log jam
and stimulate the needed flow of
American dollars for develop
ment."
He would create some sort Of
joint commission to investigate
every practical method for con-
certed development in that
country. He urges a frontal
assault on the obstacles
which stand in the way of in
dustry's full participation in the
program of technical co-opera-
ton and economic development"
Other techniques to encourage
investment involve tax incen-
tives. bilateral treaties. and
eased convertibility of profits.
When these projects will get
out of the talking stage and
into the doing stage. however.
is any ones guess.
