The fact is, ladies and gentle-- men, that everybody in America from you on. up to the president, o r from you cown to the presi­ dent, which direction you prefer in that matter, was FOR Russia 100SJ-PLUS when the German hordes were pounding at the gates o f Stalingrad—remember? Investigation shows that most o f the furor about lending aid to Russia stems from that period. Our ailing president at Teheran and Yalta made concessions to Russia that Stalin didn’t even ask for, and explained that by handling the situation that way he hoped to gain the generalissi­ mo’s favor. The record o f what the president did ami said is an open book. America has never had a citizen who lent as much aid and comfort to Russia as Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It’s a difficult matter to turn compelfcely around in an attitude, but now that we’ve turned com­ pletely around in ours toward Russia— Well, we have t& take it easy when it comes to placing blame and calling names and helping Russia—with money, machinery, implements o f war and our utmost in good will. And by so doing wo removed the only barrier there was to ag­ gression by the power-hungry Russian bear—Germany. Analysis in retrospect is al­ ways easy. I f we and our leader­ ship could only have seen and known then what we know now— which is what we ought to nave known by ail that histoiy and ex­ perience teach. HUMAN NATURE It is apparent that vice has a press agent, and virrde has to be its own reward. The evil that men do is published. We hear it on every hand. Seldom is there mention made o f the good men do, except in tribute to them at their passing o f on occasion of some milestone o f life or achievement. And there is logic in the situa­ tion. Let a man meet another man, crack him over the head and rob him o f $10. Via police officers the newspapers learn o f it and tell the world about it. But suppose when the two men met one said to the other; ‘T hear your wife is sick, and that you are out of work; here's $10; re­ turn it when you earn” I f the po­ lice and newspapes learn of it they do not mention it, nor should _ they. Virtue can noi be paraded. It would be unfair to both men to publicize the kindness o f the one, ~and the need o f the noth.er. The Goad Samaritan was name­ less, and the man o f Jerieho road fame was only “ a certain man.” BUYING PREDICTIONS The federal reserve hoard, that hard-cash agency that keeps a sharp eye on what’s coming and going, predicts that buying by the people will continue through 1950. A million persons “ definite­ ly ” plan to buy new homes, the board says. But they insist they will not pay more than $10,000. As to automobiles, “ preliminary evidence shows that middle and low income consumers comprise ritjffli ff.’ffiv. ROBERT R HARHR .*-i REV. ROBERT H. HARPER Amos. Teaches About Worship Lesson for April 30; Amos 4:4; 5:4-9, 14-15, 21-24 Memory Selection ; Amos 5:24 W E LEARN in the lesson about the futility of formalism. Forms and ceremonies ,in religion are good when rightly used. Other­ wise symbolism becomes a snare to the worshippers. Amos indicated that the Israel­ ites were not worshipping but transgressing against God at Beth­ el. At that place the attempt at worship was made worse than formalism by the golden calf. And the places of such idolatry were destined to ruin. For their symbols, Amos bade the people behold the stars. Be­ yond those shining symbols of Gad’s glory they were to see God himself and call upon him. If they should turn from their evil way, “love the good and establish jus­ tice in the gate,” they could hope that Jehovah would be “gracious” unto: them. Ames declared that, without thought of Gcd and without right living, the worship of the people would be despised by the Lord. Ke did not condemn forms of wor­ ship as such. But he insisted upon the spirit of worship and the gift ol life to Gcd. Let us rightly regard church at­ tendance and all the “ program” of our churches. These are indis- per.sifclo to church life. But we must so use our forms that they will express the desire of our hearts for Gcd and bring us to know him better. They must be a real exercise of faith that will be demonstrated by Christian living. CLARENCE J. BROWN Write* With a Buckeye In Congress The house resumed its sessions Jast Tuesday, following the Eas­ ter recess, by taking up the omni­ bus appropriation bill section by section for amendments. It now appears certain the $29 billion measure will not come to a final vote before late this wees, and probably not before next week. * The senate has before it this week the so-called EGA bill to authorize appropriations o f more than $3 billion for the coming fiscal year to continue t he Amer­ ican foreign aid program under the Marshall plan.

The house ways and means committee has tentatively agreed to report legislation eliminating all wartime excise taxes on cer­ tain commodities, such as baby oil. light bulbs, etc.; to halve such taxes on other items, such as leather goods, furs, cosmetics and certain services; and to re­ tain them on luggage, liquor, to­ bacco, etc. Last January President Tru­ man estimated his administra­ tion would wind up this fiscal year in the red, with a deficit o f five and one-naif billion dollars.

TAFT K H T HERE are some aspects of the investigation now being made , ryO YOU EVER GIVE your ehil- _ dren an opportunity to express dislike of their parents? We don’t actually mean that on the second Tuesday of the month, at 4:00 p.m., they be allowed to name over your faults. For. in their ef­ forts to take advantage of this chance to air grievances they might spend hours thinking them up. And it is to prevent children from nursing grievances that we suggest letting them tell you off now and then when they are ang­ ry. In fact, there really Isn’t any way to prevent those occasion­ al flare-up* when a child, driv­ en wild by the feeling that he is helpless against parent- made rides, tells yon that he hates yon. It is how yon re­ act Jhat will make the Incident either a normal releasing of tension, soon to be forgotten, or a mark of gidlt which the child may carry on his con­ science all his life. Tell the child either at the time, or later if he ’is very angiy. that all children feel at times that they dislike their parents but that par­ ents go on loving them just *the same. If the temper is occasioned by a child’s nnwillingness to obey, ~ it is best to insist on obedience ^ even while you admit his right to - dislike you at the moment. For if the outburst ended In your com­ plete submission the child might unconsciously adopt this method of getting his own way. For what yon are trying to do la help the child accept his feelings without guilt, and know that he “ belongs” even if he la not always loving and lovable. But yon aren’.t sup­ posed to give him the impres­ sion that his parents will make - c themselves over into door mats just because he doesn’ t like some specifio restriction. Be­ cause the very next day he may want, more than any­ thing in the .world, to feel that his parents ,•are a firm and immovable wall.- Questioning the depth' of your child’s love for you is another experience which disturbs chil­ dren greatly. A friend Of mine once told me, still with a certain anguish over the memory, how terribly she-had once disappointed her mother. - It seems that Bessie- had been sent to stay with an aunt while a new baby made its advent into the family. There were young lady cousins at the aunt’s and for a week Bes­ sie was the darling of the whole household of grownups. When at last she was taken home, not only did she dis­ play a remarkable Indiffer­ ence to the new baby sister, but she put on her coat and bonnet to go home with her aunt. At this the mother showed her disappointment and accused Bessie of no longer loving her. * What she didn’ t realize was that she was putting an emotional adult interpretation on a child’s thought- , „ lessness. A few such weights on a child’s mind are inevitable, since we can never be sure how a child will take the things we say- But we can keep them to a minimum by taking on ourselves the re­ sponsibility’ for learning our chil­ dren’ s real feelings. If, as very rarely happens, a child doesn’ t love his mother or father, the parent should search first in bis own heart for the reasons.

Some of. those con­ cerned were let "off with fines, and another one was reinstated in the State Department. In other words, influential forces in the State De­ partment at best refused to regard the delivery of papers to Commu­ nists as a serious offense. The long pro-Communist record of the Far Eastern Division raises the same doubt.
