Senator
Vandenberg
Vandenberg'i Program
CENATOR VANDENBERG of
^ Michigan didn’t wait for the
leaders of the Republican party to
formulate a program on which to
battle the Demo-
crats. He broke out
with a ten-point pro-
gram designed to
“give honest busi-
ness a chance to
create stable pros-
perity.”
His ten points
were:
1. An end to gov-
ernmental "hymns
of hate" and bitter
attacks on business
men.
1 Progress as rapidly as possible
toward a balanced budget.
3. Amendment or repeal of the
surplus and capital gains taxes and
substitution of “incentive taxation”
for “punitive taxation.”
4. Amendment of the social secur-
ity act to eliminate the “needless
drain upon the resources of com-
merce and labor.”
5. Revision of the Wagner labor
law to make for greater certainty in
“long range industrial planning.”
C. Abandonment of the so-called
wage-hour bill and substitution of
legislation to protect states from
the importation of goods produced
by substandard labor.
7. Repeal of many of the Presi-
dent's emergency powers in order
to free business from “executive
despotism which is at war with ev-
ery tenet of the American system.”
8. Reasonable and practical farm
relief, without bureaucratic controls,
processing taxes, or price pegging,
but with benefits for soil conserva-
tion practices, financing of export-
able surpluses, and return of the
domestic market to the producer.
S. Foreign policies that will keep
America out of war through pur-
suing “an insulating neutrality”
rather than sanctions.
10. “Frank abandonment of all
anti-constitutional activities and in-
trigues which shatter democratic
faith.”
Peace Talk with Utilities
DESTRICTION of the construc-
*'■ tion and expansion activities of
the privately owned public utilities
being recognized as an important
factor in the current business re-
cession, President Roosevelt began
a aeries of conferences with the
heads of these concerns. He seemed
to be in a conciliatory frame of
mind and sought to lessen the utili-
ties' fear of the effect of govern-
ment policies, but without making
any concessions. His first caller
was Wendell Wilkie, president of the
Commonwealth k Southern corpora-
tion, and next day he talked with
Floyd Carlisle of the Niagara Hud-
son Power corporation.
Though he appeared amiable, the
President at the same time was
•ending to various congressional
committees and federal agencies a
report by the New York stale power
authority, whacking friends and
agents of the private utilities for
“propaganda” against public power
development, ft presented figures
to Show the government could pro-
duce water power at a much lower
coat than private utilities could pro-
duce power by steam plants.
ft was understood Mr. Wilkie sub-
mitted these points:
That there is a general fear
throughout the country of govern-
ment competition and interference
with private utilities which can be
subdued only by concrete reassur-
ance from the administration.
That money for private expan-
sion purposes and refinancing to ob-
tain lower interest rates, which in
turn would be reflected in lower
power rates, is hard to obtain.
That die government had a right
to sell power from tts dams, but a
for marketing rt could be
1 the whole
That the prudent investment
method of determining the rate base
might well be used for determining
values to be added hereafter and
that it could be studied as a means
of finding present value, that in any
case no system of valuation does
or should bring about the highly
watered capitalisation which the
President condemned in a number
of examples which he cited at a
recent press conference.
Chino-Japanete War
JAPAN'S armies were slowed up
J by rain and mud in their ad-
vance up the Yangtse valley, but
as there seemed no likelihood that
the Chinese line of defense would
hold, the Nationalist government
moved out of Nanking, scattering its
departments among a number of
cities. American Ambassador John-
son and his staff moved to Hankow.
The Japanese commanders in
Shanghai took over full control of
most of the city and its customs of-
fice. They demanded that the in-
ternational settlement and French
concessions officials hand over the
city’s four leading citizens as hos-
tages. Most prominent of these was
T. V, Snong, brother-in-law of Dic-
tator Chiang Kai-Shek.
The Far East conference in Brus-
sels, unable to accomplish anything
to end the Chino-Japanese conflict,
was on the point of final adjourn-
ment.

After French Throne
A LARM of the French govcrn-
‘ ment over the plotting of the
Cagoulards or “hooded ones" that
led to the arrest of many rightists
■ and the raiding of
hidden stores of
weapons and ammu-
nition was far from
baseless. Evidently
there was a real
conspiracy to over-
throw the republic
and set up a dicta-
torship and eventu-
ally a restored mon-
archy. The govern-
_ . „ , ment announced.
Due de Guise however, that the
plot had been wrecked.
From his place of exile in Bel-
gium the Due de Guise, pretender
to the throne of France, issued a
manifesto announcing he had de-
cided to try to regain the throne.
“Have the moral courage not to
abdicate before present difficulties,”
the manifesto appealed to French-
men. “Do not permit, in a moment
of abandon, dictatorship of any kind
to impose itself.
“Certain of my ability to assure
your happiness, I have decided to
reconquer the throne of my fathers.
France then again will reasaume
her mission in the world and again
will And peace, unity and prosperity
through a union of the people with
a titular defender-king.”

Windsor Wins Libel Suit
The duke of Windsor won his
* libel suit against the author and
publisher of the book “Coronation
Comments," and in a settlement
out of court received a substan-
tial turn, said to be $50,006, from
them, which money he gave to char-
ity. Lord Chief Justice Hew art
commented that the libels “ap-
peared almost to invite a thorough
and efficient horsewhipping.”
Green Opposes Labor Bill

denouncing the pending wage and

and demanding that it be sent back

After Labor Racketeers
E'OR tour months Shot Nets, the
1 young safety director of dove-
land, Ohio, has been investigating
labor racketeering in Cleveland, es-
pecially in the build-
ing trades, and then
he made a report of
his findings that re-
sulted in a special
session of the Cuya-
hoga county grand
Jury to hear the
stories of scores of
business men who
allegedly have been
terrorized by labor
union officials. Ness „ „
said these men were ^e**
prompted to volunteer their infor-
mation because of the security of-
fered them and the knowledge that
many others were prepared to tes-
tify.
In addition to protests from busi-
ness men ihat they were being shak-
en down, Nesa also had numerous
complaints from rank and file union i
men that their leaders had obtained I
dictatorial control of the unions and
had used it for racketeering pur- 1
poses.
This resulted in hundreds of men
being thrown out of work, impeded
legitimate business, snd kept hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars in new
industries out of the city, the Ness
report was said to have stated.
Governor* Aik Tax Repeal
(GOVERNORS of the six New
England states, in conference
in Boston, adopted reaolutions se-
verely criticizing the tax and tariff
policies of the administration. They
demanded repeal of the capital
gains tax and the tax on undistrib-
uted corporate profits, and de-
nounced the pending reciprocal
trade agreement with Czechoslo-
vakia as imperiling the Jobs of
thousands of American citizens.
The governors who took this ac-
tion ware Lewie O. Barrows, Re-
publican, Marne; F. P. Murphy, Re-
1 publican. New Hampshire; George
! D. Aiken, Republican, Vermont;

Trade Treaty with Britain
IN WASHINGTON and London It
* was officially announced that the
United States and Great Britain had
agreed to negotiate a reciprocal
trade treaty, which
has been sought by
Secretary of State
Hull ever since he
started his recipro-
cal program in 1934.
The negotiations are
expected to begin
before the close of
the year.
American admin-
istration officials be-
Secretary bull m#y ,ead t<) #
mercial union of all English-speak-
ing peoples and will be a powerful
influence in preserving world peace.
London looks upon it as an in-
strument to form a front which all
nations may enter later on condi-
tions of most-favored-nations reci-
procity, and therefore ss an indi-
rect reply to the new German-
Italian-Japanese alliance.
Principles said to be already
agreed upon provide that Great
Britain would receive reduced
American tariffs on textiles and
coal.
In return she would grant the
United States lower tariffs on food-
stuffs, certain raw materials, iron
and steel and other essentials of a
rearmament program.
Immediate opposition to the pro-
posed pact developed among the
statesmen In Washington. Senator
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois,
Democratic whip, protested against
any British accord until the Eng-
lish pay off their defaulted war
debt to the United States. He called
the proposed pact “trade treason.”
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
Massachusetts Republican, served
notice he would sponsor a resolu-
tion halting negotiation of all new
trade treaties until congress can
determine whether they are respon-
sible for the current business re-
cession.
Representative Allen Treadway,
Massachusetts Republican, de-
nounced the proposed treaty aa cer-
tain to prove disastrous to Amer-
Scan business. He warned it would
throw “more Americans out of their
Jobs.”
Rand It Acquitted
TAMES H. RAND. JR , president
J of Remington Rand, Inc., and
Pearl L. Bergoff of New York ware
found not guilty of violation at the
Byrnes act by a Jury in the Untied
States District court in New Haven,
Conn.
The verdict was a blow at tha
government's first attempt to en-
force the act, which forbids the
transportation of strikebreakers
across state lines with the intent of
interfering with peaceful picketing.
Another Judge Wanted
CENATOR MINTURN of Indiana
^ introduced a bin authorizing the
President to appoint an additional
Judge to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals at Chicago. That
court has jurisdiction over the sev-
enth circuit, Wisconsin. Illinois and
Indiana, and ha* hod one vacancy
since the retirement of Judge Sam-
uel Atachuier last year.
Both Senator* Lewi* mi

pvEANNA DURBIN will do a
T-e play on Broadway early in
the spring if all the experts
concerned with her upbringing
agree that it won’t be too much
of a strain on her.
Any decision affecting her wel-
fare has to be pondered over by
her mother, her
manager, her vocal
teacher, snd the
physician at Univer-
sal studios and they
are all a little re-
luctant about adding
any further public
appearances to her
already very public
life. Until recently,
Deanna could go
light-heartedly about
her work at motion-
picture and radio DwMa
studios, but lately such crowds have
followed her wherever she went that
it is a source of worry to everyone
around her.
All the tumult sad hysterical
sheeting over Fred Allen's return
to his radio program does not mean
that Walter O'Keefe Is being neglect-
ed or forgotten. O’Keefo as co-
des red himself to radio listeners
while he was substituting for Prod
Alien that he could have walked
right into another big program, bat
he demanded a vacation first.
When a young newcomer to the
screen steals most of the glory away
from two enormoualy-popuiar stars,
you can expect to see her in bigger
and better parts right away. So,
when you tee Loretta Young and
Tyrone Power in "Second Honey-
moon," be all ready to clap hands
for Marjorie Weaver who is the out-
standing hit of this gay and giddy
comedy. When the picture was pre-
viewed, Marjorie was all set to go
back home to Louisville, Kentucky,
to make personal appearances with
the picture, but so great was the
audience response to her perform-
ance, the trip was called off.
_k_
Wamer Brothers’ directors have
decided that they just cannot stand
the strain of wondering whether
their handsome heroes will be able
to come to work on Monday morn-
ing, so they have sent out some
pretty stringent orders about what
is not to be done over week-enda,
or any other time. Fernand Gravet
has had to give up steeplechase rid-
ing. George Brent and Errol Flynn
cannot pilot their planes.
Out of the hundreds of young ac-
tresses who daily apply for work
at New York radio producers’ of-
fices, the majority specialize in one
type of characterization only. In
trying to explain how slim their
chance is of getting anywhere, many
radio producers point to Helen
Claire of the cast of "Aunt Jenny's
Real Life Stories,” on CBS. A typ-
ical week's voric for Miss Claire
called for her to play the Serpent
in “Methuselah,” the character of
Adelina Patti at the ages of sixteen
and forty-one, a hillbilly girl, and
Alice in “Alice in Wonderland.”
Russel Gleason thought the Twen-
tieth Century-Fox studio was kid-
ding him when they told him he had
been cast in “Lave aa a Badge*.” Be
had Just announced his engagement
and was taking a keen Interest la
all bankroll-stretching theories. But
very seriously, he bad been cast for
a role in thi* latest of the Jones
family aeries.

By far the gayest and most de-
lightful of the new pictures is “It's
Love I’m After,”
featuring Leslie
Howard, Bette Da-
vis, and Olivia de
Haviland. It does
not sound new, be-
cause it is that old,
old story of the
matinee idol, the
spitfire leading wom-
an who la in love
with him, and tha
moonstruck young
woman who blindly
adores him. What is
new is the refreshing, witty treat-
ment the story has been given. Nev-
er before have the three featured
players been so deft.

CHRISTIAN REST
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 11**: He-
brewi 4:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—Com# unto me. all ye
th»t tabor and arc heavy laden, and t
will give you mt—Matthew 11:**.
PRIMARY TOPIC-When We Are Tired
JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Great Invitation.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-
Bow Christ Gives Ua Reot
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP1C-
Chrtattan Rett.
"Time, like an ever-rolling
stream, bears all its sons away,” so
sang Isaac Watts in 1719. One won-
der* what he might say today! The
mad rush of modern life—tts relent-
less drawing of ua all into ita terrific
tempo—leaves us distraught, nerv-
ous, overanxious. Nervous disor-
ders are on a rapid increase, even
among children. The condition pre-
vails In the country aa well aa In the
city, although it is aggravated In
metropolitan centers.
Let us lay down the burden* of
the universe for a bit and counsel
quietly about that almost forgotten
Christian virtue, rest. Nowhere can
the troubled spirit find calm of soul
aa surely and as quickly as in God's
Word—and in the One revested
there, for true rest is
I. Found ta Chris* (Matt. ll;»-
30).
Rest for our souls is found not ta
the cessation of aettvity, but rather
In joining with Christ aa our yoke-
fellow and in going on with him ta
meekness and lowliness of heart
Most of life’s restlessness is tha re-
sult of pridt, of driving ambition to
be somebody or to attain something.
True humility removes all such dis-
turbing factors.
But we do have a yoke and a bur-
den to bear. Ye*. It is true that not
all is easy in the Christian life. But
a* someone has suggested, the bur-
dens are like the burden of feathers
on a bird. They may teem to bs too
heavy for his little body, but as a
matter of fact they are the thing he
flies with! Such are the “burden*”
of Christ.
ft. Received by FtKh (Heb, 4:3).
Those who believe enter Into rest.
Faith in God through Jesus Christ
brings a man into an abiding place
that the storms of life may beat
upon but can never move. Fair
weather followers of Jesus who fall
into a frenzy of fear and worry
when sorrow or loss comes upon
them need to learn to walk by faith.
“Be not dismayed whate'ar betide,
God will lake care of you," Is more
than the pious expression of a hymn
writer, It is a statement of fact.
HI. Rejected by Unbelief (Heb.
4:1, Ml).
“The worst thing in the world" ta
unbelief — because it effectually
closes the door to God’s blessing.
Jesus could not do "many mighty
works" in his home town of Nazareth
“because of their unbelief' (Met*.
13:58). Unbelief will keep us from
the rest that God haa prepared for
his people, for It not only hinder*
men from coming to tha Saviour,
but keeps them from resting ta him
after they are saved.
IV. Necessary to Useful Living
(v. 11).
Only when the follower of Christ
appropriate* that rest of soul which
results from turning from his own
efforts and trusting himself fully to
Christ will there be that absolute
surrender of every detail and prob-
lem of life to him which will bring
out in daily living the glorious beau-
ty and power of a life at rest with
God.
A poem by Fay Inchfawn which
has blessed the writer’s soul Is here
passed on, with the prayer that it
may help you who read these notes:
“Well, 1 am done. Mj mrvea were ea the
rack.

I've laid that down today.

the Tenth Bairn
*
A divinity professor was asked
to preside at the baptism of the
latest-arrived infant ta the already
crowded home of the minister of
the parish in Scotland.
The professor gave out one of
the paraphrases often used on
such occasions.
“let us," he said, "sing from
the second verse, 'As sparks ita
close succession rise,’ ”
To his consternation he observed
that the congregation seemed un-
able to repress a giggle.
Afterwards, asking the minis-
ter's man what had been wrong,
he received the reply, "You see,
the minister’s name is Sparks."
Gift of Humor
I HAD rather be strong, af-
1 fectionate, loyal, noble
minded, than be the best hu-
morist ta the world, yet if the
gift of humor be added to them
graces, you havt a combina-
tion that it absolutely irresist-
ible, because you have a per-
fect aense of proportion that
never allows emotion to degen-
erate into gush or virtue into
rigidity.
Thus I say that humor is a
kind of divine and crowning
grace in a character, because
it means an artistic seme of
proportion, a true and vita) tol-
erance, a power of infinite for-
giveness.—Arthur Benson.
