NEWSMIEWOFCURRENTJVENTS MacDonald Visit Ends and Naval Conference Is Called by England. By EDWARD W. PICKARD FIRST fruit of the momentous conversations between President Hoover and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in the Virginia fishing camp and the White House was the invitation issued by Great Britain to the United States, France, Italy and Japan to participate in a naval conference in London next January. The proposal of the British government is in effect to reopen, revise and extend the navy limitation agreements reached at the Washington conference of 1921-22, with a view to gradual disarmament in accord with the spirit of the Kellogg pact in which all countries have renounced war as an instrument of national policy. In order to give assurance that there will be no differences between Great Britain and the United States over cruiser tonnage to wreck this conference as occurred at the Geneva conference .of 1927, the London government informs Japan, France and Italy that the two Anglo-Saxon nations have virtually reached an agreement based on parity of the two navies in all classes of ships. There is no doubt that the invitations will he accepted, though there will be some opposition to holding the conference in London. America’s acceptance was announced Thursday. France, it was believed, would make three reservations, asking that the work of the conference be disassociated with the Kellogg pact; that the proposals for abolishment of the submarine be dropped by England and America before the meeting opens, and that France have the right to call for a new ratio on cruisers, destroyers and submarines. It was understood that Italy would adopt practically the' same attitude as France; and Japan was expected to accept the invitation without reservations. Each British domiu , ion also was Invited.to send represen tatives to the conference. When Mr. MacDonald’s Washington visit officially came to an end he and Mr. Hoover issued a joint statement to the effect that in their conversations they had reached an understanding that the United States and Great Britain would co-operate to preserve - the peace of the world, and that settlement of all disagreements between the two countries in the future should be sought on the assumption that war ' between them is unthinkable. Sincere acceptance of the Paris peace pact is reaffirmed, and confidence expressed in the success of the naval conference. One significant paragraph of tiie statement reads: “The part of each of our governments in the promotion of world peace will be different, as one will never consent to become entangled in European diplomacy and the other is resolved to pursue a policy of active cooperation with its European neighbors; but each of our governments will direct its thoughts and influence towards securing and maintaining the peace of the world.” This is designed to quiet the apprehension, felt especially by the French, that the MacDonald visit would result in an actual alliance between America and Great Britain intended to force upon the rest of the world their interpretation of disarmament and peace. At every opportunity Mr. Hoover and Mr. MacDonald disclaimed any such Intention, and in his remarkable ad- . dress before the senate the prime minister specifically sa'd: “We are not our for any exclusive alliance. You would reject it. So would I. It is not for the benefit of either of us.” The President and the prime minister discussed, in a general way other topics besides 'the naval conference. These included tariffs, the Anglo-Amer-ican war debt, freedom of the seas and ’ the British naval bases off the Ameri can Atlantic coast. It was agreed the last named matter should be the subject of further consideration alter Mr MacDonald lias returned to London.

Modern Science Has No Use for Food Fanatic The food faddist was called a menace by Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the American Medical Journal, speaking before a session of the National Restaurant association convention. - Asserting that “faddlsm has no place in foodism," Doctor Fishbein said that “the food faddist is especially a menace because he Invariably tries to bring other people around to his point of view. Nothing ruins the appetite

Socially as well as politically. Mr. MacDonald's visit was a great success. He and his daughter Ishbel were lavishly entertained, there were state dinners at the White House, the British embassy, and at the home of Secretary Stimson, and the prime minister was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by the George Washington university. After the formal farewells in the Capital the British party left for Philadelphia and New York, secure in the belief that Mr. MacDonald’s unprecedented adventure had accomplished extraordinary things for the two nations andfor the world at large. IRWIN B. LAUGHLIN of Pittsburgh, 1 one of the “career” diplomats, has been appointed by tl.e President as ambassador to Spain to succeed Ogden H. Hammond, resigned Mr, Laugh lin’s last ..assignment was as minister to Greece, where he served from 1924 to 1926. Prior to his appointment Mr. Laughlin had been stationed in various diplomatic capacities at many of the principal capitals of the world. He began his career as private secretary to the minister t<« Japan. ONCE again the Democratic senators and those radicals who persist in calling themselves Republicans scored on the administration senators in the tariff battle. This time by a vote of 44 to 41 the senate rejected finance committee amendments broadening the rights of manufacturers and wholesalers to intervene in customs disputes before the treasury and the courts. Later the senate rejected an amendment offered by King of Utah which would have granted independence to the Philippines, and debated another proposal to levy' tariffs on imports from the Philippines and return the revenue thus derived to the islands until independence is granted. These proposals really were made for the benefit of the American beet sugar growers and domestic producers of vegetable oils. The strength of the Democraticradical combine led to forecasts that there would be a deadlock over the tariff bill in conference and that the measure would fail of enactment in the special session. There were those who said this result would not be entirely displeasing to the President and that the administration would not favor the revival of the bill in the reg ular session of congress. ALBERT B. FALL, former secretary of the interior, appeared in Washington for his trial on bribery charges connected with the oil scanand refused to ask a continuance on account of his exceedingly poor health. But before the taking of testimony began he collapsed and a , recess was ordered. The court designated Dr. Sterling Ruffin to examine him, but Fall refused to receive the specialist, explaining his action was on purely personal grounds and that Ruffin was the only physician in the country whom he would not permit to examine him. THREE more loans were authorized by the federal farm board. The Florida Citrus exchange is to get a facilities loan of $2,800,000; and the Tennessee Cotton Growers’ association and the South Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co-operative association receive supplemental loans of $250,000 and $500,000 respectively. The advance to the Florida Citrus exchange will be secured by first mortgage on packing plants of local units. REPORTS from India say that Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, has been captured by the forces of Nadir Khan and that Habibuliah Khan, otherwise Bacha Sakao, had fled by airplane. Evidently the.story of the usurper king’s assassination two weeks ago was at least premature. The troops of Nadir’s brother are said >o have scattered Habibullah’s army and to have entered the capital, the inhabitants taking refuge in the hillk SENATOR MORRIS SHEPPARD of Texas has put forward a proposal to amend the Volstead act so as to make the purchase of liquor a crime, as well as the sale of it. But the idea is meeting with strenuous objections not only from the wets but also from many of the dry leaders. Some thought

like an oration on digestion and indigestion delivered by a food fanatic in the course of a meal.” Modern science, he said, urges a balanced meal containing a variety of food substances—“breakfast that will include fresh fruit, cereal, milk, butter, bread, and perhaps eggs and ham or bacon; a luncheon that will have a sulad and some vegetables and something to sustain energy; and a dinner complete from soup to nuts. “This does not mean that the human being must gorge himself with

it would nullify the whole scheme of prohibition, and others, like Senator Norris, chairman of the judiciary com mittee. held that it might completely break down prohibition enforcement. Mr. Norris said the plan, if adopted, would prevent 95 per cent of the prosecutions in prohibition cases,, for in fully that number the testimony ot buyers must he relied on for convictions. Senator Hawes of Missouri, a wet. said: “The matter of ‘purchase’ purposely was omitted from tlte Eighteenth amendment, and if it is to be brought up now the proper method would be by the submission of another constitutional amendment.” PREPARATIONS were completed for the investigation of lobbies operating in Washington by the sen- ; ate. The subcommittee of the judiciary committee, which is to conduct the hearings, was named, as follows: Caraway of Arkansas, chairman; Borah of Idaho, Robinson of Arkansas. Blaine of Wisconsin and Walsh of Montana. Thus the inquiry is dominated by radicals, drys and pacifists and it is ex pected to go especially hard for the eastern high tariff interests, the big navy and other preparedness organizations and the wet associations. The tariff lobby was scheduled for first at tention. Probably the hearings will last through the winter. American federation of labor delegates opened their annual convention m Toronto with President William Green in the chair. The most interesting event of the week was the start of an attempt to bring the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen back into the federation. Albert Whit ney, chief of the brotherhood, was loudly cheered when he told the con ventidn he saw no reason for the brotherhood to remain separated from the rest of the labor movement and that he intended to ask the lodges ot ; the order immediately to vote on a ! proposal to affiliate. For four days New York’s supply of fresh fruits and vegetables was seriously curtailed by a strike of the teamsters’ and chauffeurs’ union, and freight yards and piers were jammed with rotting produce worth millions of dollars. The strike was called off when the Market Truckmen s associa tion agreed to accept one of two propositions made by the union. The men were to get either more wages or shorter hours The workers’ week has gone into effect in Soviet Russia and is said to i be creating distressing confusion in industry. DIEUDONNE COSTE and Maurice Bellonte, French aviators who | started eastward from Paris for an endurance flight and were thought to have been lost in the wilds of Siberia, turned up in Manchuria near the Mongolian border, 4.846 miles from j their starting point, breaking the i world’s straight line distance record. ■ It took them about a week of foot travel to reach a place where they could get in communication with the outside world. | Colonel Lindbergh, with Mrs. Lindbergh and two archeologists, spent several days flying over the jungles of Yucatan, Guatemala and British Honduras. Their purpose was to explore unknown regions in the search for ancient Maya cities, and they were successful in discovering several ex tensive ruins not heretofore known. The Lindberghs then flew from Belize to Miami, Fla. FEDERAL inquiry into liquor and vice conditions in northern Indiana has resulted in hundreds of in dictments and arrests. Among the accused are the mayor of East Chicago and many police officers of towns in the northwest corner of the state. The charges include violations of the liquor, white slave, narcotic and auto theft laws. COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT arrived in San Juan, Porto Rico, and was immediately inaugurated governor of the island. The ceremonies took place in the new capital building, and the governor was then es corted by a parade to La Forteleza, the ancient building that will be his official residence. (©. 1929.

food,” he warned. “The number of calories necessary to sustain life has been carefully estimated. What Is needed is a varied diet that will appeal to the appetite and supply all the essentials.” Some day, Doctor Fishbein predicted, the wise restaurateur “is going to have a restroom adjacent to his case where the tired business man, the nervously strained stenographer or the exhausted mechanic will lie quietly ten or fifteen minutes before and after the noon luncheon.**

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- | IC—The Gambling Spirit Hurtful to ; Business and Morals. I. .he First Man Set to Work (Gen. 2:15). Work was God’s primal thought for ■ man. Even In the state of innocence man was to have useful employment. With ihi coming of sin. new burdens were added. 11. The Time to Work (Ex. 20:9). ! “Six days shall thou labor and do all thy work.” Six out of seven days should be devoted »o work Idleness on any of the sis davs Is as great a sin before God us working on rhe seventh day. Let it never be forgot- 1 ten .hat the fourth commandment is an ordinance of labor as well as rest; in fact, there cap be no rest unless there has been work. The Idler and the Sabbath breaker are equally guilty before God. • 11. The Working of the Father and the Son (John 5:17). The God ot the Bible Is a working God. It is true that God. wtien His creative work was done, rested; that isv desisted trum creative work, but there is other work besides that of creation. There is no such thing as Inactivity in the divine kingdom, i God is in His ceaseless activity everywhere. To be godlike is to be active. Jesus had healed an impotent man on the Subbatb day. The Jews sought to kill Him for this good deed, and when He linked Himself with God in this, they more earnestly sought to kill him. because He made Himself equal with God. Die special points of equality with God were: 1. Giving life to rhe dead. Only God had shown Himself able to raise one from the dead. 2. Judging mankind (John 5:22). ! His claim to being the judge of all mankind was His supreme claim to ‘ Deity. IV. Urgency of the Work (John 9:4). “1 must work the works of God while It is day; the night cometb when no man can work.” These words were uttered in connection with the appalling need of the man who was born blind. Delivering lost men and women from their sins Is the work of God which must be done. The night is coining when no ! work can be done. The night thereJ fore for the world is when Jesus is j withdrawn from It. V. Paul an Example ot Working (Acts 20:33-35). Paul did not work to hoard up money, but to support himself while preaching the gospel. A truly great preacher is the one who preaches i not only in word but in deed. If ] preachers would show more interest in lost souls than in money, their influence would be greatly multiplied. | VI. The Man Who Will Not Work Should Not Eat (I) Thess. 3:10). Growing out of Paul’s teaching concerning the coming of the Lord, a j tendency to idleness devek ped at L Thessalonica. They reasoned that if the Lord's coming was so near, k work was useless I’he true teaching concerning the coming of the Lord ! is. “Occupy till I cotne.” Earnest at- : tention to present duty Is the scriptural attitude toward the second coming of Christ. Those who will not j work should not eat. This la the I ; right principle upon which to base all works, of charity. It is the effl- , , dent cure for pauperism. It exhibits the right economic order and should | apply to all classes. VII. The Object of Work (Eph. i 4:28). This text sets forth the only three ways by which to get money or possessions of any kind. 1. To steal. Theft was common among the heathen. It is common today, even ■ in civilized countries. Many ways of , ? obtaining money can be designated by P theft. 2. To receive as gifts, 3. To work for. To have possessions which have been stolen is, of course, wrong. To I have that which benefactors have given is rigtit. even though it may I not bring a blessing. To have that | which we have earned is not only j honorable, but gives personal satis- i •faction in that it has come through ; toil. All legitimate possessions should i be regarded as a trust to be executed | for God in giving to those who have not. ’~ ’ ■ Our Spiritual Ancestors How large a part of our forward life is traveled not by clear landmarks seen far off in the promised land, but as travelers climb a mountain peak, by putting footstep after footstep slowly and patiently into the prints which some one going before us. with keener sight, with stronger nerves, tied to us by the cord of saintly sympathy, has planted deep into the pathless snow of the bleak distance that 'stretches up between humanity and God. —Phillips Brooks. The Call to Prayer The call to prayer means a call to work, not a summons to set going a machine, which needs neither brains nor heart. It is a call to gather up j all the forces of the soul, and to summon them to the Intensest activity. 1 It v Is indeed the highest exercise to j 'which man can be called.
