ly oppose the policy of the Russian communist goy-
ernmeht if he lived in Russia. In fact, if he lived
iii Russia, he would look to the United States of
America as a blissful heaven on earth but, being
here and thinking that he can, perhaps, coerce th^
majority of the people, he utters a silly threat that
will do no good, either’ to him or his race.

to make specific proposals for the
energy. The Commission met for the first time in
June of that year and has held a total of 101 meet-
ings since.
The effort to reach agreement on control of the
atomic bomb has collapsed, coming to naught as
the United States and Russia disagreed on a fun-
damental issue. The United States insisted that
atomic weapons should be outlawed only after a
complete system of international controls and safe-
guards, including inspection in the various coun-
tries, had been put into operation. The Soviet Un-
ion insisted that atomic weapons be prohibited and
that the existing stockpiles of American bombs be
destroyed before any kind of control system be
established.

Yes, from one end of the country to the other,
public enthusiasm for the new 1948 Chevrolet
points to a great public conviction that CHEV-
ROLET AND ONLY CHEVROLET IS FIRST in all-
round value as in popularity. More people drive
Chevrolets, according to official nationwide
registrations and more people want Chevrolets,
according to seven independent nationwide
surveys than any other make of car. Your own
judgment will tell you that this is because

Chamber of Commerce in Falfur-

far as San Antonio when I ran into
Bill Furey, Hillsboro publisher,
the Gunter lobby and he was
his Way to Edinburg and so
caught a ride to Falfurrias.
Coming back, I’d gotten as far
as Austin by bus, stopped over a
few hours, ran into Carl Bruner,
a friend from Cowtown. He' and
his, son, Paul, veteran—and gradu-
ate student at the University of
Texas, insisted—they didn’t have
to insist very strong—that I ride
back to Fort Worth with them.
Not only that but I’d stopped in
San Antonio (on the return trip)
to see .Col. Ray Leeman, executive
vice president of the South Texas
Chamber of Commerce, and tell
him what a good job Ray Jr., is
doing as Falfurrias' CofC manager
but it was noon so I thought I’d
have lunch, then phone the Colo-
nel. So I went into the Manhattan
Cafe, had my favorite dinner (the
seafood platter) and, just as I fin-
ished, the man uqxt to me at the
counter got up and, one sfeat over,

ITS “GOOD BUSINESS” TO CARRY
The month of April has long been associated
with the wars of the United States, but it also
brings the anniversary of some other rather im-
portant events.
It is the anniversary of the beginning and the
end of the War Between the States, which began
bn April 12, 1861, in Charleston Harbor and ended
four years later, on April 9th, at Appomattox. It
also gives us, on the 6th, the anniversary of the
declaration of war upon Germany in 1917, when
the destiny of the United States carried its armed
forces across the Atlantic.
In connection with other wars it should not
be overlooked' that President McKinley, on April
11, 1898, called upon Congress to intervene in Cuba
and that was was inaugurated two weeks later by
a formal declaration. The War of the Revolution
began at Lexington, in Massachusetts, on April 19th,
1775. Eight years later cessation of hostilities was
proclaimed to the American Army and the war
came to an end.
The other anniversaries to which we refer in-
clude that of the first pony express,

souri, on April 3rd, 1860. The first

THE DECREE OF ARTAXERXES
THE fourth chapter of Ezra
brings us to the halting of the
work on (hq, temple, after they had
raised the magnificent sum of ap-
proximately $400,000, and had laid
the foundation for the temple, with
imposing ceremonies.
This delay was occasioned by the
jealousy of the Samaritans, who
went to Artaxerxes, through em-
ployed counsel, and convinced him
that it would be dangerous to al-
low these Jews to rebuild Jerusa-
lem. At first, the Samaritans pro-
posed that the Jews let them use

STICKING TO ONE’S PURPOSE
E come now to the part Hag-
gai played in summoning the
Jews to their duty and obligation
to God to restore the temple. It was
in the second year of the reign of
Darius that Haggai received the
word of the Lord. “Is it time for
you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled
houses, and this house lie waste?
Now therefore thus saith the Lord
of hosts, Consider your ways.”
1 It was enough. The people rallied
call of Haggai, and the
was completed. Men can
do what they ought to do,
will to do it.

when forty-

Rufus Putnam, founded the city on the river bank.
Other events of considerable importance' in the
history of the nation, occurring during April, in-
clude the birth of Thomas Jefferson on the 13th,
the death of Abraham Lincoln on April 15th, the
landing of the first permanent English settlers at
Jamestown, on April 26th, 1607, and the inaugura-
tion of George Washington as the first President
of the Republic on April 30th, 1789.
OF
THE proclamation
Ezra 1:1-5. recorc
CYRUS
of Cyrus,
— Ezra 1:1-5, records the happy
word to the Jews that they would
not only return, but that the temple
would be rebuilt. Cyrus called
upon all the people who would to
make offerings by which the temple
might be restored. Cyrus was act-
ing under divine impulse in this
gracious and generous proclama-'
tion.
“The Lord God of heaven hath
given me all the kingdoms of the
earth; and he hath charged me to:
build him an house at Jerusalem,
which is in Judah,” said Cyrus,
Ezra 1:2.
Fifty thousand Jews, their hearts-
rejoicing at the thought of return-,
ing to the land of their fathers, set
out on? the trek of 600 miles,
laden with gifts from the Per-
sians for the restoration of the
temple in Jerusalem. They could
now sing the song of the Lord, and
no longer did their harps hang
silently on the willow trees.

COWPER’S lines come to mind
as we study the dramatic re-

in Babylon to Jerusalem in the,
first year of the reign of Cyrus,
king of Persia, 536 B. C.:

His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.”

Randolph’s Silly Threat
Negroes will refuse to be drafted, declares A.
Philip Randolph, head of the Pullman porters’ union'),
unless the government ends racial “discrimination”
and segregation in the Army. The Negroes of the
nation, asserts this man, will refuse to fight for a
democracy they cannot possess and enjoy.
We are sure that Randolph does not speak for
the intelligent Negroes of th^ South. He may be the
spokesman for the racial fringe in some areas but
there is no reason whatever to suppose that, he has
any substantial support among thinking Negroes.
Let us assume that the Negroes follow his ad-
vice. They will not fight for the United States and,
let us suppose again, which is a violent assumption,
that because of the defection of the Negroes, the
United States loses its next war.
What have the Negroes to gain? Certainly, if the
German Nazis had conquered the U. S. the plight
of the American Negro would have been worse than
that of the socalled Aryan race. The presumption
is that the next aggressor, regardless of what may
be said about equality, will enslave Americans if
they lose their fight for freedom and the- Negro,
whether he elects to fight or not, will suffer a
lorm of slavery even though it be shared to some
extent, by the white people of the nation.
The fact that a member of a minority race is
permitted to make such a threat in the national
•capital is an illustration of th^ freedom that he, and
his race, enjoys i£ this country. He could not open-
