So fa r England is the only country that will make a payment and this not in full according to the terms of settlement. France has the money and refuses to pay as she did last December. Italy and Belgium evidently will not pay as long as Germany gets the benefit of the moratorium and several other smaller countries abroad take the same attitude. i That the depression has been broadened by the Hoover j moratorium there is no denial. That this country must levy j higher taxes on industry and individuals to make up for what foreign nations refuse to pay us is a certainty. The German moratorium was granted by Hoover to relieve Germany of pay­ ment to this government on war debts in order that Morgan and other W a ll street bankers could collect their loans first. The interest the W a ll street bankers have in this country is best shown by wjhat has been uncovered in the recent Morgan investigation. It now appears that Hoover was only the window dressing for the House of Morgan, the titular head of the past administration. LEGISLATIVE BODIES NEAR ING THE CLOSE From surface indications both Congress and the Ohio legis­ lature are nearing the time, for adjournment, though either or both may be in session yet for several days. The one subject that has overshadpwed all others has been taxes of various kinds on business and individuals to pay the bill. Congress has been busy approving legislation .that will cost billions on the theory that the depression can be broken. It is a hew economic scheme and no one can guarantee that it will bring results. W e are. told the old rules will no longer solve our economic ills and new methods must be adopted. It has been our opinion that the old rules would still operate if they were given a chance and not used to restore business for some interests at the expense of others. That was the chief object of the past administration in using governmental functions to hold up certain business that centered in W a ll street. Agricul­ ture and small business were given no consideration. , It is the opinion of most people that we have not yet reach­ ed the burden of taxation in either state or nation. Take for example the vast sums voted in the name of poor relief, mil­ lions and millions, for which there is no return or value received. It is nothing more than a dole. r Ohio needs about $4,000,000 a month for the rest of this year according to Columbus authorities and additional taxes will be required to raise this money. Those familiar with the relief problem have not been satisfied with the manner in which it has been handled. There is no question but what aid is need­ ed in many cases but to grant wholesale distribution of funds or provisions is but breeding the worst form of pauperism the country ever has known. Individual independence and self support is not encouraged and we face dependency in most, of these cases. Congress and the Ohio State Legislature can adjourn soon and the sooner the better. The nation and states have too much legislation which is doing little to build up the faith and con­ fidence'of,the people in government. . 'j WORLD CONFERENCE IN SESSION An air of intense and almost unrelieved gloom surrounds the World Economic Conference. American delegates, for the most part, have hope without expectation. Too many of the great European nations seem determined to pursue a relentless policy of economic isolation— and the inevitable result will be more embargoes, higher tariffs, further declines in already vanishing world trade. This same isolationist spirit menaces the success of the arms conference at Geneva. The United States will throw its entire influence on the side of disarmament, world peace, stimulated trade between nations and agreements for loweri’ and equalizing tariffs. Failing success in its efforts, it is prepared to embark on economic war with the rest of the nations, as a matter of self defense. It will work out a program designed to provide us with commercial independence so fa r as the rest of the world is concerned, and create a more self-contained national economy. The Adminis- ' tration definitely does not want this— but it is, indirectly, warn­ ing the other powers that if they refuse to cooperate, no course is left but American isolation. Great hope for conference success is the influence of Mr. Roosevelt. Rumors, as yet neither denied nor affirmed, are jme- valent that he will go to London, make a speech" and return. Strength to the rumors is given by the preparation of a navy light cruiser for a long, non-military trip, at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. -This ship, can cross the Atlantic in record time— if President Roosevelt is on board, the world will see another dramatic and potentially helpful gesture in interest of world amity. A factor that is also important to world trade, is future action of the American government in controlling the dollar abroad. This will be attempted in the near future— means of doing it have not been definitely decided upon. It will prob­ ably take the form of a dollar stabilization program which, in effect, will resemble the much-discussed, little-understood British Equalization Fund, The British Fund is part of the government’s budget, and was recently increased from 150,- 000,000 to 350,000,000 pounds. The British government’s monetary policy is, briefly: Maintenance of the internal price level, as distinct from the value of the pound abroad; con­ tinuance and, if possible, expansion of trade, and the checking pound. The Fund is used for these purposes— by keeping the pound. The Eund is used for these purposes— by keeping the pound down, in relation to the dollar, while the price level remains unchanged within England, an obvious trade advant­ age is obtained. The American government believes, as do most commentators, that some action by this country must be taken if an explosion in foreign exchange, with consequent trade disruption, is to be prevented. ■ ' - * ’" ' * ' * im p r o v S T UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I c h o o l Lesson <By BEV.

Tilts was a ministry of love, yet had they be­ lieved what he had said concerning his resurrection, they would have known that hrs body would not be there. Mary of Bethany understood this. She therefore expressed intelligent af­ fection for the Lord, and against the day of his burying poured out her box of precious ointment upon him (John 12:8,7). 2. The time of (v. 2). It was very early In the morning of the first day of the week, before the rising of the sun. 8. Their perplexity (vv. 3, 4). They questioned as to who should roll away the large stone from the mouth of the tomb. To their surprise they found the stone removed. II. The Angel in the Tomb (vv. 5-3). Jesus knew that these women would come to the sepulchre with perplexed and unbelieving hearts, so ho had an angel waiting there to announce to Ihem the fact of his resurrection. Note the message of the angel : 1. “Be not affrighted" (v. 6). How sorely they needed this kind word. 2. “Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth which was crucified”, (v. 6). Tills threefold designation shows with mar­ velous clearness— a. His humanity—"Jesus." !>.. His lowly residence—“Naza­ reth." 1 <•. His ignominious death—“cruci­ fied.” - 3 . “He is risen; he Is not here. Be­ hold where they laid him” (v. 0). He was born. In" lowly circumstances and ■suffered -the •shameful death on the cross, but now is the. conqueror of death. His resurrection gives mean­ ing to lils denth (I. Cor. 15:17). • 4. “Go your way, tell his disciples, and Peter” (v. 7). All the disciples .needed this blessed news, but Peter especially, since lie had so emphat­ ically denied his Lord* 5. “He goetli before yon into Gali­ lee, there shall ye see him” (v. 7)., Christ had told the disciples that he would rise from the dead and meet them in Galilee (Mntt. 20:32). III. The Appearances of the-Risen Christ (vv. 9-14). Since Christ’s resurrection was to be the central theme of apostolic preaching, It was necessary that they have a certainty of knowledge as to it (Acts its). Without the resurrec­ tion of Christ, his death wonld be tncnnlngless. Out of (he ten or more nppenrnnces, Mark refers to three. 1. To Mary Magdalen# ^(vv. 9-11). Her devotion was nmpiy rewarded by being the first to meet the risen Lord. She went at once and told the story to ttie disciples, but they refused to believe her. 2. To two disciples on the way to Emmaus (vv. 12, 13). Luke gives full particulars concerning this appearance (Luke 24;13-25), Jesus walked, talked, and ate with them, convincing them that he had Indeed risen from’ the dead. 3. The eleven disciples (v. 14). Jesus appeared fo them while siting at meat, and reproved them tor their unbelief. The fact that they stead­ fastly resisted tlio testimony that Christ had risen, but afterwards were willing to risk their lives In the proc­ lamation of tills truth, proves the genuineness of their faith and should strengthen ours. IV. The Commission of the Rlstn Lord (vv. 15-18). After tlie disciples were convinced of the truth of his resurrection, Jesus sent them forth to preach the gospel to every creature. What a blessed issue to those who believe, and how awful to those who believe not. “He tlint believoth and Is baptized shall be saved; but he that helieveth not shall bo damned" (v. 10). V. The Activity of'ths Risen and Ascended Christ (vv. 19, 20), After giving the disciples their com­ mission, he ascended on high, and from the unseen sphere directed their activities. Whenever they went he confirmed their word with signs, Christianity “Christianity is unique; Christianity Is something most lovable; for Chris­ tianity is a person, and the persoi) is Jesus; and this Christianity has ac­ complished more wonderful things than nhy other religion In the world."

Already government agents report that income taxpayers who have been using the capital gain and loss method of defrauding the government on in­ come tax returns are asking to file amended returns. We are not in favor ordinarily of parading private busi­ ness before the public but the abuse heaped on the country by the Morgan^ crowd and others may bring emibar- rasment to others who have in the past been within the spirit and letter of the law. The Morgan tax dodgers’ only recognized the letter o f the law. Gambling in the stock market has been recognized' as perfectly proper yet just this sort o f thing has taken precedent as an indicator of the rise and fall Of business conditions in this country. It has been the dumping ground for'billions of dollars that might be used in other channels of trade. It has been the market for soiled money taken by many a book­ keeper, bank cashier and trusted emT ployee that has not only wrecked a good reputation but probably ruined a sound financial institution. We worry about.law observance and re spect for the constitution, the eigh­ teenth amendment, and understress frown at murder, yet permit with public approval a system of gambling and stock jobbing that reaches direct­ ly and indirectly into the pocket of each citizen in the nation, What chance the small speculator has is best shown in how Morgan used a pre ferred list to unload big bargains at a lower price than what the little fel­ lows had to pay.
