PRESIDENT EisenhDwer's address Satur
L day asked Congress for executive power
to use force, when requested by nations in
the Near East, to stop Communist agrees

become the international policeman for the
United Nations. as the President made the
point that this country would cooperate
with the United Nations policies, unless
and until immediate action was necessary
to avert aggression. On this point, the mes
sage was a bit vague

Japan must have market for its manu-
featured products. 8s,5000O0 people living
on islands in area less than the state of
California depend largely upon manufac
turing and world trade Half of Japan's eX-
ports are textiles, wooden, silk and cotton
products. The United States is the princi-
pal customer, having assumed virtual con-
troll of Japan at the end of World War II.
Until recently the japanese were forbidden
to trade with Communist nations, which
surround her. She was forced to seek free
world markets. In order to compete Japan
must buy all raw materials. No doubt sur

bought by japanese manufacturers at COM
petitive would market prices, shipped to
Japan. manufactured and returned to
America at price under cost of fnanufac-
ture in this country. This is impossible
competition for nation like ours with the
highest living standards. Unless imports
are controlled the textile industry here will
have hard shedding.
In addition to this type of competition,
American manufacturers are faced with
the burden of heavy taxation domestic
prices for raw materials, high wages and
labor harrassment. If by Federal law a
company can be forced to pay wages for
services not performed, conditions have
come to pretty pass.

EVERYBODY is a sinner yet not
~ everybody is tempted to the
same sins. But being tempted is
not a sign of sin. The church be
iieves that the same Jesus who 'in
every respect has been tempted as
we are" Hebrews 4:l5) neverthe
less was tempted without SHINING 1t
would be mistake to suppose

are, Jesus would

all the sins there
are. What this
means is simply

Sword Of the Spirit

Another way in which the ChriS~
tan can learn from Christ's temp
tations is by observing how he met
them. He did not play around
with them. He did not say. well,
there is something in what you
say" He did not debate what for
him was not debatable. And he
met each temptation with a word
from God S Word, Each of the quo
tations he makes, CIT is written }
came from the same book of the
Old Testament Deuteronomy IL
Jesus could find help, in time Of
ternpta ton, in his Bible, surely the
CHRISTIAN of today is cutting him
self off from major source of
strength if when temptation comes
the best he can think Of is, Il am
sure there is a verse in the Bible
about this somewhere, but | can't
think what it is" The best way
10 have the Bible ready for daily
help is not to have it on shelf,
but to have it as treasure IN
the mind.

One thing we can learn from
Christ's temptations is that it is
not possible in this life to be guar

only serious-minded b i G h-princi-
pied people know what real temp
tation is Weak. fabby. frivolous

drop into sin like a stone into
