scratched. A plttance of money has been al
located by the Christian people Of America
to spread the Gospel of Christianity to
the peoples of the world. Some progress has
been made but comparatively little. In
China, missionaries have worked many
years with some success, but not enough to
prepare the population for the great ex-
perence Of freedom. The same is true in
Korea, Japan, and many other nations
Japan occupies the position of van
pushed nation. She must cooperate with the
victor 1t is distinctly to her welfare that
cooperation with the United States should
be exercised at this time. The rulers of
Japan have come under the Influence of
this Christian nation, and may be consecrat-
ed to its principles, but they will not be able
to maintain free government unless they
receive the support Of the people. One of
the basic needs, therefore, in Japan is the
progress Of Christianity and this is a chal-
lenge to the Christians in America.
Freedom and liberty are not had for the
asking An eternal vigilance must be main
tanned. Like many other governmental idea
logies, the education Of generations is neces-
sary to securely establish them. Because
we believe free government is based on
Christian principles, it follows that con-
versions to these principles are necessary
among the peoples of every nation to insure
permanent peace. If this be true. the gov
eminent officials who control Japan should
further Christianity 10y precept and eX-
ample, and missionaries Of the greatest
ability and force should now be working
among the people
In taking this viewpoint we do not as
sumo a "holier than thou" attitude and
are cognizant of the short comings in our
own nation. However, this does not disprove
the principles as we see them, namely that
the foundations of our system Of govern
ment are predicated upon Christian princi-
Piles. which are recognized by the rulers as
we'll as those governed. What challenge it
presents

African Move

One of the unhaLpieSt features
of the South African situation is
that it gives the Reds chance to
pose as the champions of the nom
white peoples Though commUn-
ism has little hold IN that part of
the world yet. there IS fear that
further retrogI eSSivc action by the
Nationalist Government will in
crease MoscoW's appeal to native
Africans
One constructive move by
white group in the country has
shown how this danger can be
countcred by liberal action The
principal South Allcan labor
organization recently voted for
tlade union front to include all
races. This naturally enraged the
Nationalist but it also acutcly
embarrassed the Communists
The Reds can hardy afford to
oppose this blow at segregation
in the unions Yet they are
strongly opposed 70 a labor front
that would bring the more radical
clements of labor under the domi-
nation OF the pOWei Jul Conserya-
tive unions Thus the latter have
succeeded in putting their Red
critics on the spot at the same
time that they hold out to ma
tives the promise OF better work
ing conditions through a demo-
cratic labor movement.
Here is the hint of possible
alternative to the present repreS-
slonS and reErcSsionS in South
Africa.

Baseball Purely American

THE opening Of the Maj League season.
III mid-Aprl. is always a major event in
American sports life. This year Major Lea
que play opens on new note the National
League containing new member team-thc
Milwaukee Braves. OF course. this team is
the old Boston Braves team which has
changed it's location.
Baseball has not changed too much in
the last half-century. The weight Of the
ball and other technical considerations have
varied from year to year and have definite
~ changed. The game itself is also changed
III many respects, although basically it re-
mains practically the same.
For many. many years now the schedule
for each team has included about $50 games
the season extending from the middle OF
April to the last of September After that,
the World Series is held the first week in
October and world champion baseball
team is determined. The baseball season is,
therefore, an extremely long Que lasting
almost six months, or half a wear
Considering the fact that Spring train
ing consumes another two months, the
Major League sport requires about eight
months of the players time each year. The
key to the great popularity Of baseball lies
in the emphasis on skill and precise action
rather than on brute force.
1t will be noted that few baseball plaers

Freedom And Peace

FREEDOM and liberty are not for all
people. A long period of experience is
necessary to train people in the condition of
freedom. A nation which has been under the
restrictive powers Of absolute monarchy, or
a ruling oligarchy for generations has not
the capabilities or powers of free enterprise
and government.
English people came to America about
three centuries ago to seek freedom of rei-
gion and government. Prior to their emigra-
ton, the subjects Of the Crown had forced
some liberties from the ruling caste They
had tasted the privileges of self-governing
people, and were the only group ever to be
free to institute a government of free peo-
pie. Some progress to this end had been
made in England, but it was obtained by
pressure of the governed toward the COVER
nors. So, the Pilgrims of New England,
seeking religious freedom. and the
Soldiers Of fortune who established
colonies in Virginia and the south had
background Of individual responsibility and
freedom Of action.
They had more. A deep religious, Christ
ian faith was present in the colonies so it
was that the trainers Of the Constitu-
ton Of the United States drew it according
to Christian principles. Our considered
opinion is. that until nation accepts the
principles Of Christianity, freedom and
liberty and the way Of life we know are
not possible. This is not to say that all
Christian people are free people, but we do
believe that Christian principles are the
cornerstone of our conception Of govern
ment
For many years we did not believe in
foreign missions. 1t was our contention that
we had enough work to do at home, and
therefore. did lend our support to home
missions. If We expect to have peace, of a
permanent nature. foreign missions are
vitality important. This is a challenge to the
churches Of America and to the millions
who make up their membership. Only the
surface of Christian potcntia lities has been
