NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Hoover and Senate Act in Case of Propagandist of Shipbuilders. By EDWARD W. PICKARD INTERFERENCE by individual citizens or corporations in the foreign relations of the United States is not to be tolerated by the President} or the senate, and proceedings were started last week designed to put an; end to that practice. The matter came to the fore when one William B. in a suit for retnuneration, revealed that he had been employed by American shipbuilding concerns to attend the futile three-power naval limitation conference of 1927 and by propaganda to frustrate the plans for reducing naval armaments. President Hoover immediately issued a statement scathingly denouncing Shearer and his employers and ordered the Department of Justice to Investigate the man’s activities. The senate followed suit and adopted unanimously a resolution by Senator .Borah directing the naval affairs committee to make an inquiry into the alleged employment of Shearer by shipbuilding corporations and the part flayed by them in the collapse ot the conference at Geneva. Under the resolution the inquiry was limited to that, though Senator McKellar of Tennessee suggested it might be found wise to enlarge the scope of the inquiry to include all kinds of propaganda in the naval armament controversy. This course also had been urged by various persons outside of the senate who, while not defending the alleged activjfies of Shearer, condemned the propaganda of pacifists and other “httle navy” persons. .4- • t Senator Robinson of Arkansas, 'the minority leader, said: ‘‘No question is raised as to the right of any or all parties to carry on propaganda within the limits of lawful action, jbut this involves a question of interference in what is essentially the foreign relations of the United States. There is no purpose to confuse the transactions mentioned with the long continued controversy as to whether the United States should have a large or a small navy.” - •. . i The Arkansas senator declared no senate investigation could end that controversy or stem the flow of proaganda on that and virtually every major piece of legislation brought before congress. It was expected, however, that the investigation would end interference by interested citizens or corporations in the country’s foreign relations, he said. The corporations named by Shearer in his suit for $257,655 were the Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation, the American Brown Boveri Electric corporation and the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company. Eugene G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, in a letter to President Hoover, admitted Shearer had been employed by the shipbuilders to attend the conference as an observer, but said this was done without his knowledge and that when the board of the Bethlehem corporation learned of Shearer’s antidisarmament propagandist activities his employment was terminated. The American Brown Boveri corporation issued a statement to the same effect. MEANWHILE President Hoover and his chief advisers in international affairs , were considering new proposals from the British government for establishing a tentative naval reduction agreement and preparing an answer thereto, which was caliled to Ambassador Dawes Thursday night. The British plan called for reduction of the British cruiser fleet to about 340,000 tons on condition that the United States would limit its 10,000 ton 8-inch gun treaty cruiser tonnage to eighteen ships, Instead of the twenty-three now carried on the American building program. / Under this arrangement Britain would have fifteen gun cruis-

German Savant Splits Hydrogen in Two Parts Hydrogen, heretofore regarded by scientists as an element in itself, was declared to be in fact two elements, and the gas was broken up into its two component parts before the eyes of hundreds of scientists at Minneapolis by Dr. K. F. Bonhoeffer, professor of chemistry In Kaiser Wilhelm institute, Berlin. As a result of the Bonhoeffer discovery it-was declared chemistry text-

ers and the United States eighteen. Great Britain proposed that this disparity in big gun cruisers would be made up by allowing the British government to retain four older 7%-inch gun cruisers and maintain an advantage in cruiser tonnage amounting to approximately 40,000 tons of small 6-inch gun so-called police cruisers. In London it was announced that Prime Minister MacDonald had decided to sail for the United States on September 28 to confer with President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson. PREMIER BRIAND’S proposals for a federation of European powers was enthusiastically received by the delegates of 28 nations to whom he explained his scheme, and they decided to try to bring the idea into force. Almost the only objection raised was that the plan might result in a loss of sovereignty of the individual states; and some of the statesmen emphasized that the union should be mainly economic. The French premier was asked, to draw up a memorandum on his scheme to be studied by the European governments, and after they have replied a conference of all European nations will be called to consider the plan. HAVING elected Peru, Yugo-Slavia and Poland to seats in the council, the assembly of the League of Nations considered and debated a number of important matters. These included a proposal by Louis Loucheur, of France, for the rationing of coal and sugar among the nations; an appeal by Count Apponyi, of Hungary, for revision of the Trianon treaty to return to his nation some of its citizens now placed as minorities in Rumania, Yugo-Slavia and Czechoslovakia; and a plan to'place under the supervision of the league the international bank created uitder the Young reparations .. .. .. Dr. C. C. Wu, Chinese minister to the United States, proposed that the league advise its members to reconsider the extraterritorial treaties which, he said, shackle the Chinese republic and rob it of its sovereignty. The agenda committee voted against Wu’s plea for adoption of a resolution for revision of treaties that have become inapplicable, on the ground that it opened up a question of too vast an importance, and the Chinese delegation threatened to withdraw from the assembly. , THOUGH war between Russia and China has not been declared, and may not be, nevertheless an actual state of war exists on the Manchurian frontiers and many deaths already have resulted. The Russians have been attacking with artillery and bombing planes and the Chinese have retaliated sharply. There was desperate fighting for several days for possession of the city of Pbgranichinaya on the eastern border, and at first it was claimed the Chinese had won there, but later advices said they had been driven back 40 miles to Mulin, and that Pogranichinaya had been reduced to ashes. Soviet gunboats made determined efforts to force their way up the Sungari river, but it had been mined by the Chinese. Each side blames the other for the aggressive actions, and actual conditions are rather clouded. Negotiations for peaceful settlement were still going on in Berlin. WHEN the great tariff fight really got under way in the senate, the regular Republicans in , that august body met defeat in the first test vote. Senator Simmons’ resolution directing the finance committee to obtain from the Treasury department information contained in the income tax returns of tariff beneficiaries was adopted by a vote of 51 to 27. The thirty Democrats all voted for the measure and were aided by 21 Republicans, including all the so-called radicals and several others. The information sought is to include profits or losses, gross sales, inventories, merchandise bought and costs of manufacture; including materials. wages and salaries. Senator Reed Smoot and others argued in vain that the resolution was offered with a view to delaying action on the tariff bill. Senator Norris introduced a resolution calling for immedate consideration of the case of Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania, and this, too, was

books might have to be revised, as hydrogen was the simplest basic element known to science. The two component parts in which he has divided the element have been termed parahydrogen and orthohydrogen, both odorless and of the same weight. Dr. Irving Langmuir of Schenectady, president of the society, termed Doctor Bonhoeffer’s discovery “a valuable addition to the increasing knowledge of science. It is a discovery which will change our most fundamental principles,” he said, “and no doubt

said to be intended to delay the tariff measure, but on motion of Senator Watson the Vare matter was put over until the/regular session in December. So the tariff battle continued. EXHAUSTIVE inquiry into Hie disparity between prevailing\yneat prices in the United States and Canada and also into the alleged congestion of wheat storage facilities by speculators who seek to depress prices for the incoming crop, was announced by the federal farm board. It is being ! conducted by experts of the bureau of Agricultural economics of the Department of Agriculture at the request of the board, which hopes to obtain facts ; upon which to base future policies as well as to relieve the immediate emergency. ONE of the most peculiar swindles of recent times was perpetrated on New York banks by Charles D. } Waggoner, president of a bank in Telluride, Colo. Through code telegrams ostensibly signed by Denver banks, he obtained from the New York institu- j tions certified checks for half a mil- i lion dollars, most of which he had • placed to the credit of his own bank. It was a kind of a Robin Hood stunt, i for he says it was done to make it ; possible for the people of Telluride to i recover the losses they have met * through the manipulations of New York financiers. The latter, he asserts, i bought three of the largest mines in I the Telluride district and closed them } to prevent competition, throwing most | of the town’s inhabitants out of em- ; ployment and wrecking his bank deposits. Waggoner was arrested in Wyoming and said he expected to spend a long time in prison but was contented ( with the success of his ingenious scheme. ~ REV. O. J. KVALE, Farmer-Labor congressman from Minnesota, who succeeded Andrew J. Volstead, was burned to death when his summer cottage near Battle Lake, Minn., was de- ; stroyed by flames. Mr. Kvale, an ordained Lutheran clergyman, was the only Farmer-Laborite in the house, to which he was elected in 1922. Arthur Bullard, former Washington correspondent, for a time chief of the Far Eastern division of the State department and associated in various capacities with the League of Nations, passed away in Geneva after a short illness. He was one of the Hest informed Americans on questions connected /with the league. y Louis Marshall of New Yorkr noted lawyer and Jewish leader an 4 philanthropist, died in Zurich, Switzerland, following an operation.

One lap was made at the truly terrific rate of 368.8 miles. — CLAUDIUS H. HUSTON of Tennessee, skillful politician and old-time friend of President Hoover, was unan- } imously elected chairman of the Republican national committee to succeed Dr. Hubert Work at a meeting in Washington. SPECIAL interest to the central South was the offer of President Hoover to hold up work on the Mississippi flood control project on the floodways extending from the Arkansas river to the Gulf of Mexico if the Southern congressmen interested requested it. Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Senator Ransdel) and Representative Wilson of Louisiana concurred in this plan. This will permit the administration to consider the controversies involving payments for .flowage rights and other features of the project. Property owners have protested against the ruling under which they can obtain no compensation for flowage rights unless actual damages are caused. (©, 1929, Western Newspaper Union.)

Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. > <©. 1929 Western Vowsnan*- < T nlr»n.l Lesson for September 22 MALACHI FORETELLS A NEW DAY GOLDEN TEXT—Behold. 1 send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me. LESSON iEXT—Malachi 3:1-12. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Promise of God’s Blessing s JUNIOR TOPIC—The Promise of God’s Blessing ■ INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Our Part in Bringing in a Better Day. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Preparing the Way of the Lord. The subject ot today’s lesson Is broader than rhe printed text. In order to teach this lesson effectively the entire book should be surveyed. The prophet pointed out the sins of a corrupt mixed marriages, and failure to pay tithes. I. The Rase Ingratitude of Israel (1:1-5) G< d approached them with the tender affirmation, “1 have loved you.” Ir was the burden of the prophet ro declare this fact unto them (v. 1) worldly were rhe people tffiit they failed to discern God’s upon them. Israel’s attitude toward God is shown in the skeptical question. “Wherein hast thou loved us” (v. 2)7 Malachi answers this question by showing God’s choice of Jacob and his passing by of Esau, his destruction of Edom and his saving of Israel. 11. God’s Severe Indictment (1:62:17; 3:7-15) 1. Against the priests (1:6-2:!)). They were guilty ot: (1) Profanity (1:6) Their profanity consisted in despising the name of God. To fail to honor God is to be profane. To use His name in any unreal way is to he thus guilty. (2) Sacrilege (1 :7. 8) Their sacrilegious act was tn offering polluted bread and blemished sacrifices. To bring such offerings io an earthly ruler would he a gross insult. Gifts to be acceptable with God must be genuine. (3) Greed (1:1(1). They were not willing to open rhe doors of God's house without pay. Our service should be out of a tieart of love for God. not for profit. (4) Weariness (1:12. 13) Because of rhe absence of love, the routine ot priestly duties became irksome. God threatened them with severe punishment unless they would take His rebukes to heart. (5) Not teaching the law to the people (2:1-9). Those set apart to teach God’s law ro the people have a great responsibility and God will most assuredly demand an accounting. 2 Against the people (2:10-17; 3:715). (1) For ungodly marriages (2:11. 12). God’s purpose in the prohibition of mixed marriages was that He might raise up a holy seed (v. 15). The marriage of rhe believer with the unbeliever today brings confusion into the fold of God and turns aside His purpose. (2) For divorce (2:13-16). Divorce in Israel was the source of great sor row—even rhe tears of the wronuod women covering the altar (v. 13) The offerings of the man who had thus treated his wife would be an abomination to God. (3) Public wrongs (3:5. 6). a. Sorcery—magic arts. This includes tlie practice of occult sciences. b. Adultery. This is a sin of wider 'extent than to’ the parties directly concerned. It is a canker which gnaws at the very heart of society. Unfaithfulness to the marriage relation should be regarded aS a public sin. c. False swearing. d. Oppression of the hireling, widow and fatherless. e. Turning aside the stranger from his rights. (4) Withholding tithes (3:7-12). Failure to pay titlies is robbery of God. His claim upon Israel was the tenth, plus free-will offerings. Ouf responsibility is to give as God prospers us ( 1 For. 16:1). (5) Blasphemy (3:13-15). They openly spoke against God. saying that it was profitless to sei ve Him. 111. The Awful Judgment Which Shall Befall the Nation (3:1-5; 4:1-6). 1. By whom executed (v. 1). It is to be done by the' Lord. All judgment has been committed unto the Son of God - (Jno. 5:22, 3(1. es. Acts 17 30. 31). When Christ comes in power and glory to render Judgment. He will distinguish between the righteous and rhe wicked, rewarding them according ro their deeds. 2. The time of (3:2-4:l). It will be at the second coming of Christ. John the Baptist was the forerunner of His first coming. Elijah will be the forerunner of His second coming. , . , 3. The result (3:3. 4. 16-18; 4:1, 2). For the righteous it will be a day of healing and salvation; for the wicked a day of burning and destruction. A day of reward is coming for the faithful; a day of awful retribution for the wicked. Trusting in God Spurgeon says, “David did not trust In his sling. He tells us he trusted in God, but he went to work with his sling as if he felt the responsibility to be his own. Such is the true philosophy of a life. You are to do good works as zealously as if you were to bj saved by your good works, and you are to trust in the merits of Christ as though you had nothing at all.” A Sentence Prayer Cast me not away from Thy presence and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Confidence Confident e in your own powers Is not conceit, but trust in the God who gave you those powers.
