SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT -,
ID j Liberty in Law
BY DR.. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
ChapIain Of The united s-a.e. senaLa

In the midst of his great
ministry. one of the most
outstanding preachers Of the
goth century made a signifi-
cant discovery and confession.
The Nation was then passing
through what was being
called by responsible citizens
AN orgy of lawleSsneSs. "
This nationa n ally known
preacher who was listened to
eagerly by great crowds. in
examining his own message,
said: Il could not recall ever
having preached a sermon on
obedience: / could not recall
ever having heard a sermon
on obedience. I have searched
volume after volume of mod
ern addresses and sermons
and I have not run upon any
that dealt with respect for
and obedience to authority.
There were plenty on free
dom. on the emancipation
of the individual, on the out
growing of old restraints, but
few, if any. upon the neces-
sity and glory of being mas
tered by what rightfully
masters u.s."
Immediately after having
been made conscious of that
gap in the message to his
generation, this prophet Of
God stood in the pulpit,
which was his throne, and
preached a sermon on
Obedience"
Certainly now, years later.
the pulpits of the land need
to thunder the same message.
One does not have to be an
alarmist or a pesSimiSt to
declare that one of the omi-
nous symptoms, as we enter
this decade of destiny, is that
authority has broken down
in the state, in the family, in
the individual.
In the movies and tele-
vision, upon which the eyes
Of millions are glued for
hours every day. obedience to
law is taken lightly. The
representatives of the law are
habitually at a disadvantage
on the silver screen. The
judge, the detective, the
policeman, usually comes off
badly in the plot. and the
mere husband is often in i'll
repute with the audience
Those who are thus enter
tanned are regaled with the
story of attractive murderers,
high-minded robbers, and

sentimentality expressing it.

Commenting on FDR's SPELL

David Lawrence wrote in
The Star April 80, 1885:
Mr.. Roosevelt recognized the
existence of certain widely

policies, and he sought,
therefore, to offset these i'm
pressions. . To present per-

The other way was to

He has opened for himself
an immense, historic oppor-

feat into a close, creative ad-
visory association with the

not afford to keep on giving
dollars away as it did in the
early years Of the postwar
period,
The same Monthly Letter
Of the First National City
Bank-which incidentally has
branches in most Of the i'm
portant countries-puts its
finger, moreover, on the real
problem Of the dollar and the
loss of gold as follows:
There are fears, expressed
by some Americans and for
eigners alike, that a new ad-
ministration taking office
January 20 next will enlarge
Government spending and
perhaps also seek to impose
an artificial cheap money
policy. While these things
may not come to pass, 1t is
not unnatural that some of
the cheap money campaign
speeches should have aroused
fears at home and abroad of
a new surge of imitation in
the United States"
It is a sad commentary on
modern democracy that so
little thought has been given
to the effect abroad Of the
extravagant promises as to
Government spending. These
were, conveyed in the CAM
paign speeches designed to get
votes by appealing to the self

Of Pharaoh Spurred

CAIRO. Egypt, Nov. 9 (AP)
Diggers searching for the fab

have found a secret corridor
deep in the Egyptian mon
arch's ancient tomb which
they believe may lead to the
goal.
Sheik Ally Abdel Rassoul,
who is financing the archeolog-

Valley Of the Kings, said he
expects to find a chamber at
the end Of the corridor where
Sets treasure was buried with
him.
Sheik Rassoul estimates the
treasure to be worth $50 mil

Archeologists decline to pre-
dict what the secret chamber
will contain. Some say it may
prove to be another deceptive
dead-end. purposely built into
the tomb to deceive grave
robbers. Others suspect it will
contain the burial chamber of
another king, nobleman or
high priest who utilized Seti's
tomb.

Businessmen, more than
any other group. are glad the
election is over. They have
been anxious and hesitant.
It wasn't altogether the fear
that, while one party would
adhere to sound fiscal prin-
ciples, the other would take
a chance on deficit spending.
It was the uncertainty itself
which produced a psychology
cal reaction that added up
to a pause rather than a
movement ahead. For despite
all the volume Of words in
the speeches, businessmen
couldn't tell just what poll
cies they would encounter in
q new administration.
The country is passing
through q mild recession or
readjustment. But this alone
would cause little concern.
Thoughtful students Of eco
nomic problems know that
something more fundamental
is causing anxiety. 1t is the
rapid growth of economic
blocs in our midst which at
any moment can stif1e the
business progress of the Ma
ton and throw it into a tail
spin.
Neither candidate dared to
mention it, but the real cause
of our economic upheaval and
the narrowing profit margins
for business is the irrespon-
sibility of groups that hold
vast economic power. The
steel strike caused the pres
ent recession. Yet not a word
came from either campaign
speaker to enlighten the peo-
pie on the same menace that
confronts American pros
perity in the future.
If a group Of labor leaders
can tie up the economy of the
country by a prolonged strike
and are not held accountable
for their actions by any pub
lie authority, the end result
must be chaos. How long can
America face up to the COM
petition with the Soviet
Union If each group here can
do as it pleases without re-
gard to the public interest?
This is a political question.
but the campaign hasn't

Although doing more busi-

When profits are related to
