NEWS REVIEW GF CORRENTEVENTS Hoover’s Extensive Program for Waterways—Golden Jubilee of Light. By EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT HOOVER has definitely taken his position as champion of the development of our inland waterways and set forth the policy of his administration in that connection. In an address at Louisville, made during his trip down the Ohio in the celebration of that river s canalization, the Chief Executive proposed a program that would call for the expenditure in the next ten years of approximately one billion dollars for the Inland waterways projects. He would complete the canalization of the Mississippi system of 9,000 rtlles within five years at an qnnual outlay of $10,000,000 over the present appropriation, and would be ready to spend as much more on the St. Lawrence project. The chief points of the .President’s program are thus summarized: ’ Establishment of a nine-foot depth In the trunk systems and six or seven feet in the tributaries of the 9,000 miles of navigable rivers of the country. . The federal government should not only retire from, the operation of ocean shipping, but from the operation of barges and craft on these rivers after the period of pioneering. Completion of the entire Mississippi basin system of waterway in five years. The 746 miles of intercoastal canals should be lengthened by 1,000 miles during the next ten years. The great lakes channels should be further improved and the lake levels stabilized. ! This Mississippi flood control project to be expedited and finished in ten years. Harbors and their littoral waterways to be maintained and deepened to accommodate the expanding foreign commerce. When it came to the matter of providing the needed funds, Mr. Hoover, adopted the idea of beating our swords Into ploughshares. He expressed the hope that the great increase in expenditures involved would be balanced by reduction in the expenditures for the instruments of war as the result of the present international negotiations for naval limitation. Mr. Hoover’s first participation in * the Ohio river celebration was at Cincinnati where, in Eden park he helped dedicate a monument tq the men who started the canalization work 34 years ago and, as an engineer, gave high praise to the way in which the project had been carried out. He and his party then took a stormy ride to Louisville on the old lighthouse tender Green Brier, stopping briefly at Madison, Ind. Patrol boats, yachts and other passenger Inats carrying members of the Ohio Valley Improvement association and officials from several states trailed in the wake of the Green Brier, making a flotilla of 16 vessels. As the President’s train was returning to Washington some persons discovered near Albany, Ind., an automobile .placed across the rails. It was supposed an attempt had been made to wreck the train, and indeed ♦hat might have been the result; but two negroes who were arrested said they had put the car on the track in hope of collecting damages for its destruction. LIGHT’S golden jubilee, the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the Incandescent electric lamp by Thomas A. Edison, was celebrated more or less all over the world but centered In the transplanted early American village, Greenfield, built near Detroit by Henry Ford- There were gathered President and Mrs. Hoover, Secretary of War dood and other government notables, Mme. Curie of France, codiscoverer of radium, and a host of other important people to do honor to the “Wizard” and his achievements. Bowed by his eighty-two years and

Americans Build Dam to Give Athens Water dose to the historic battlefield at Marathon, where the Greeks defeated the Persians in 490 B. C., American engineers are putting the finishing touches on the first marble-faced dam In the world. When the Marathon dam Is turned over to the (/reek government early in 1930, the city of Athens, for the first time since Its foundation in 1259 B. C., will have an adequate water supply.

almost overcome by emotion. Mr. Edison, in his rebuilt old original laboratory, repeated his final test of the first successful incandescent light, and then at a banquet heard what his fellow citizens and the world generally thinks of him and his inventions. Congratulatory messages from the prince of Wales, President Hindenburg of Germany and others were read: Owen D. Young as toastmaster was eloquent,and President Hoover revealed a delightful vein of humor as well as a deep appreciation of what Mr. Edison has done for humanity. Especially did he give the inventor credit for the way he has demonstrated the value of the modern method and system of invention by highly equipped, definitely organized laboratory research. Henry Ford and his son Edsei, the hosts of the occasion, declined to speak. Mr. Edison himself, in broken tones, thanked the American people for the tiibute paid him and gave credit for a full measure of his successes to his fellow workers and the great thinkers of the past. < The celebration at Greenfield was supplemented by the dedication of the Edison Institute of Technology which Mr. Ford has created as his concrete tribute to his friend, the “Wizard of Menlo Park.” Representatives of twentynine co-operative live stock sales agencies, meeting in Chicago at the call of Chairman Legge of the farm board, made satisfactory progress with the organization of a central sales agency. It will have subsidiary corporations owned by its member agencies and financed to extend activities toward stabilization of the live stock industry. Addressing the sixth conference of major industries in Chicago, Mr. Legge warmly advocated an economic parity between Industry and agriculture as the only way to check the increase of radicalism in America. “The public can rest assured,” Mr. Legge said, “that the American farmer will never be reduced to peasantry, but unless he gets help, and gets it quickly, drastic results may be expected. You can’t blame the farmers for backing radical blocs. Those blocs represent distress at home. If we remove the distress we remove the radicalism. If we don’t we’ll see radicalism in the future that is going to be worse than that we’ve had in the past.” DEMOCRATS and radical Republicans of the senate, striving at least ostensibly to make the tariff bill more favorable to the farmer, began their fight against the schedules of rates. Their success was variable, and the hottest parts of the battle are yet to come. The debates were so long drawn out that there were renewed fears that the measure would fail of enactment in the special session. Herbert C. Lakin of New York, president of the Cuba company, was an interesting witness before the senate committee investigating lobbying. He said that American interests with Cuban sugar Investments had thus far spent $75,000 in lobbying against an Increased duty on sugar, and that propaganda headquarters have been maintained in Washington at a cost of $24,000 to date. Mr. Lakin insisted that he and those he represents do net desire to Injure the domestic beet sugar industry and have tried to work out a scheme that would be equitable to all groups. Replying to Senator Caraway’s questions, the sugar man said he believed his interests would have been unsafe if he hadn’t employed persons to represent him in Washington. Aristide briand, premier of France, and his cabinet stepped out of office last week because the chamber of deputies, by a vote of 288 to 277, refused its confidence in Briand’s foreign policy. Briand, who has been premier 13 times and is in poor health, announced positively that he would not accept the task of forming another government. When parliament opened Briand demanded that debate on his foreign policy be postponed until after he had conferred with allied governments, until the conference at The Hague had been resumed for final action on the international bank, and until after final re-

In performing their contract with the Greek government the American engineers utilized some of the water supply systems which have been in use for centuries, says Popular Science Monthly. The new dam, which Is faced with white marble, quarried from Mount Pentellcus, is a solid concrete wall 150 feet wide at the base and 15 feet wide at the top. It is 900 feet long and rises 165 feet above the river bed and 695 feet above sea level. The structure contains more than 6,000,000 cubic

partition of German reparations. This the chamber refused, deputies of all parties joining in the opposition vote. Dislike of the Young reparations plan and of the contingent evacuation of the Rhineland was strongly evinced by the right wing, which was surprised by the fall of the government. The left wing leaders said they really were strongly in favor of the Young plan and the evacuation program. Eduard Daladier, Radical Socialist, was picked to form a new cabinet. , BECAUSE a Slovene student was executed in I’ola, Italy, there were violent antl-Italian riots in Belgrade and other cities of Yugo-Slavia, and the Italian representatives in that country were threatened and insulted. Consequently Mussolini, through Minister Carlo Galli, made indignant remonstrance, demanding immediate investigation and the cessation of the press campaign against the Mussolini policies. <»pROWN PRINCE HUMBERT of Lu Italy arrived in Brussels to ask officially for the hand of Princess Marie-Jose of Belgium, and when the king and queen gave their consent the engagement was formally announced. The consent of the king and queen of Italy was published at the same time. Prince Humbert next day went to place a wreath on the tomb of Belgium's Unknown Soldier and was there shot at by a young Italian student, Fernando di Rose. Humbert, who was unharmed, stood quietly until the tumult was stilled and then proceeded with the ceremony. _____ CIVIL war in Afghanistan apparently is ended for the present, for news comes that Bacha Sakao, the deposed king, and 1,000 of his followers have surrendered to Nadir Khan, the new ruler, stipulating only that their lives be spared. Amanullah, the former king, has sent his warm congratulations to Nadir. DESTRUCTION, by explosion and fire, of the Hollywood laboratories of the Consolidated Film industries caused a loss of millions of dollars — nothing like an exact estimate being possible for some time. The place was used by about 75 per cent of the motion picture producers and included in the losses were a number of master films of new screen productions. Fifty persons were in the building at the time and all escaped unhurt except Albert Lund, who was taken out unconscious and died. URBAN F. DITEMAN, JR., Montana cattleman and amateur aviator, started a surprise hop from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, for London, and presumably was lost in the Atlantic, though there was a remote chance that he landed somewhere in Greenland. Dox, the huge German Dornier seaplane, made a successful flight over Lake Constance carrying 169 persons; these included 150 passengers, nine stowaways and ten members of the crew. The big ship rose rapidly and for nearly an hour flew at an average speed of 106 miles an hour, though it Is capable of 138 miles. Italy, Japan and Spain immediately put in orders for planes of the same type. SEVEN of the Communist labor leaders who were tried in Charlotte. N. C„ for the killing of Police Chief Aderholt of Gastonia during the strike troubles, were found guilty of seconddegree murder and sentenced to prison for terms ranging from five to twenty years. Several of the convicted men were from New York; others were native products. FIERCE raids by the bears brought on the wildest scenes the New York stock exchange has ever known, and prices of stocks crashed down to such low levels that billions of paper profits were wiped out. Trading was utterly demoralized as the brokers fought to execute their orders, and the ticker was nearly two hours behind with the quotations. The excitement was repeated only in lesser degree in the curb market and in Chicago and other exchanges. No explanation of the great crash was satisfactory, at least to the losers. The bulls struggled hard to keep their footing, with some success later. (©, 1929. Western Newspaper Union.)

Though our citizenship is in heaven, we have obligation to the government under which we live. I. Obligation to Pay Tribute (Mark 12:13-17). This teaching concerning the tribute money came in answer to the quest ion put to Jesus by representatives of the Pharisees and tlenxl They would gladly have killed him. but they feared the people. Their only hope therefore was to discredit him among the people. 1. Their question (v. 14). Is It lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? The Pharisees contended that since God was the real king ot Israel, it was not obligatory—yea. even sinful—to pay taxes to a heathen king. I'he llerodians were supporters of j Herod With flattery on their lips, they put this subtle question For Christ to have answered “yes would have discredited Him with the people, and to have said “no” would have made Him liable to arrest by the Roman authority as an enemy of the government. 2. Jesus reply (vv. 15-17). He requested a coin to be brought and inquired as to whose image and superscription it bore, declaring that < those who accept the coin of Caesar i should pay taxes to Caesar. Thus the Lord escapes their trap and inculcates a principle which applies to all time and conditions ,as to the Christian’s responsibility to civil vernmenL 11. The Christian’s Obligation to the State (Rom. 13:1-7). The believer is a citizen as well as a Christian. 1. Obedience to rulers (vv. 1-4). This obligation is upon all Christians. Civil government Is ordained of God. and rulers are His representatives. To refuse obedience to civil authority is to resist God This does tot mean that a Christian at the behest of the state should do that which ! Is inherently wrong The same is true of the child in Its responsibility to its parents. While obedience to parents , is the will of God for children, this <l<»es not imply that the child is under obligation to do that which Is morally wrong, at the command of the parents. Submission to rightful constituted authority is the law of the believer’s life. ; 2. The spirit in which the Christian renders obedience to rulers (v 5). He shot'ld regard it as his obligation not merely because it serves a good purpose, but because it is morally right. 3. Methods of expressing this obedience (vv. 6. 7). (1) In the payment of personal and property taxes. The citizen who enjoys the benefits of government is morally bound to support it. (2) Payment of duty upon merchandise. and license fees. The business exchange between nations must be 1 regulated Fdr such regulations, expense is incurred, for which benefit the citizen should pay. (3) Veneration for magistrates—- “ Fear to whom fear.” Those who have the fear of God in their hearts will venerate their rulers, God’s representatives. (4) “Honor to whom honor.” Civil officers should be honored because of the ministry they perform. 111. The Spirit of Loyalty to Authority (1 Pet. 2:13-17). The loyalty of the Christian to right authority should be glad and free. The Christian recognizes the necessity of social order, and will graciously submit to the authority of rulers and faithfully perform his obligation as a citizen, not through cringing fear, but as the Lord’s free man. for the Lord’s sake. By means of this free submission as God’s servant, he puts to silence the Ignorance of foolish men (w. 15. 16). 1. Honor all men (v. 17). He will see In every man the Image of God and therefore give honor to him. A Christian will attend to the proprieties of life among all classes and In all relations. (2) Love the brotherhood (v. 17). The Christian has a peculiar love for those who are of the same household. (3) Fear God (v. 17). This is filial, reverential fear. (4) Honor the king (v. 17). This had- a peculiar significance, for tn all probability the wicked Nero was then the reigning monarch. Old Teacher Nature Go to nature, as Emerson has so wisely advised, with all singleness of purpose, rejecting nothing, scorning nothing, and rejoicing always in the truth. Follow the process of the seasons as they come and go, take notice of the common things that bring home a lasting message to the throbbing human heart, and utter yourself in intenser prayer than ever before that you have been privileged to play your part in a wonder-world of sheer delight. — — Enough for U« to Obey As soon as we lay ourselves entirely at His feet we have enough light given us to guide our own steps, as the foot soldier, who hears nothing of the councils that determine the course of the great hattie he is in, hears plainly enough the word of command which he must himself obey.— I George Eliot
