BEN LINDSEY ATTACKS POPE'S BKTH_ VIEWS St, Augustine’s Ban on Divorces Caused Immoral Age, He Asserts. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 9 —Judge Ben B. Lindsey, companionate marriage advocate, believes part of Pope Pius's latest encyclical "ought to do some good," but thinks most of it Will have little if any effect. The Denver jurist praised the pontiff’s statemrtits on the education of young people for marriage, but could not accept the part of the encyclical dealing with divorce and birth control. The pope. Lindsey said, bases his protest against divorce on the gospels, which say that “whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another committeth adultery against her." Cites Immoral Age The jurist pointed out other precepts such as "sell all thou hast and give to the poor," and “if thine enemy smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” “It would be Just as futile," he said, "to expect them to avoid birth control of divorce in proper cases. "When St. Augustine had his way and there wasn't a diVorce in Europe for 300 years, historians tell us it was the most immoral and degenerate age in history. “There should be reasonable, honest, scientific divorce where it is properly called for, and there always will be. Companionate Instincts “As to birth control, the rule proposed by the pope—outside of a very few exceptional people—is respected only by domestic animals. "But among human beings, the relationships of the sexes are far more ‘companionate’ than they are procreative, and they will always be among free and intelligent people. “The encyclical, however, sincerely intended, as I am sure it is, promises frightful punishments for those who do not agree with the doctrines of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries."

cently returned frfom an extended, scientific Journey in Russia. The potential wrheat producing acreage in Russia is much greater than that of the United States. Russia has more than 482,000.000 acres of first-quality wheat land, as compared vttth 99.000,000 acres in this country, Russia has nearly 372.000.000 acres of second-quality wheat land, as compared with about 135.000.000 acres in this country. In this country, the great grain blet in the plains states is remote from tidewater ports and lacks navigable river, so that all its wheat has to be hauled long distances by '.all. The European part of the Russia grain belt runs directly to the black sea, and is crossed or bordered by three large navigable rivers. The wheat zone in Asiatic Rusisa, however. is not so favorably situated. Whereas the rest of the world already has put most of its possible wheat acreage into actual cultivation, Rusisa has vast land reserves that never have known the plow. It is this, coupled with the grandiose schemes for farms as big
