Reds Appear To Want Manchuria Weaker Want Manchuria No Threat To Siberia (Editor*, notst In the following dispatch Reynolds Packard, veteran United Pres, foreign correspondent, summarize, the impression, of Soviet policy in Manchuria he gathered during his extended stay In that country.! By Reynolds Packard Changchun. Mar. •—(Delayed) - Ru„ia appear, to want Manchuria, once a great industrial center and arsenal, reduced to a weak state which cannot be a threat to Siberia. The Russian, are letting the giant Industrial machine built by the Japanese during their 14 year, of control fall to bit, like a piece of wormy wood. Thl, seem, to be a fulfillment of the Russian desire not to have a highly developed industrial state on the southern borders of Siberia. During the month, I have been in Manchuria I haven’t seen one bit of evidence that Russia I, trying to reconstruct Manchuria, even for her own interest,. On the contrary. I have note I many indications that Russia is continuing to strip these part, of heavy machinery, generator, and hvdraulic equipment.

Lewis Demands For Foremen Big Issue To Submit Demands To Owners Tuesday —— Washington. March 9—(UP)— The nation's soft coal operators! mulled over the question today of how far John L.

Although they are mill |gm>raflt ‘ of the united mine workers' »peel-| flc contract demand,, bltuminouis operators expect the supervisory question to be an important issue secondary < nly to the wage demand* which Lewbi will submit next Tuesday In effect, the operator, already have said "no” to the expected demand for union recognition for supervisory personnel. A policy committee of 60 operators announced last night that it had instructed the industry's negotiating committee to "continue opposition" to recognizing a union of supervisory employes. The Hsuo first assumed major significance last fall when It resulted In a strike which lasted 26 day, and ultimately involved akemt 200,000 men before Lewis abandoned Hie fight. The UMW has enrolled supervisory employes In s unit of district 50 The fact that Lewla called off 1 the dispute then led operators to wonder whether Lewis wonld be willing to abandon the demand (Turn To 4.

Lenten Meditation (Rev. f>. II Pellett, i nion Chapel United Brethren) "THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS” Fiction has presented the child Jesus playing with crudely devised crosses; sacred artists have painted him with outstretch* ~>A arms with the sun's rays casting a shadow of a cross. These. <9f course, are but expressions of the Imagination, yet they do set forth the fact which Is so clearly Indicated in th.- Holy Scriptures. that the shadow of the cross has dimly hut definitely appeared across the centuries. The Prophet Isaiah spoke of our lx>rd as "A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; as "One from whom men hide their face"; "He was despised and rejected of men ” John the Revelator. looking back upon the events of Calvary, speaks of “A Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world.” Thus the Sacred Record quite clearly indicates the shadow of the cross. Simeon looking into the face of the infant Christ, spake of his life and purpose and warned of a "sword” which should pierce through the very soul of Mary Jesus himself saw the shadow of the cross, and in the closing days of his life spake definitely concerning It and bis crucifliion. See Matt. 20: 19; 23:31, and 26:1, 2 The shadow of the cross Is an age old testimony to the fact that God's gift of his Son was tn tho divine plan from the beginning. "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believoth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jo. I:II.
