NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Reduction of Income Tax by One Per Cent Proposed by the Administration. By EDWARD W. PICKARD IF CONGRESS is agreeable, and It almost certainly will be, our income taxes for this year will be reduced by about $160,000,000. This is the plan of the administration, the announcement of which was -made in advance of the President’s budget message' to congress in the hope that it would serve to ameliorate the stock market situation. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, Undersecretary Ogden Mills and Roy Young, governor of the federal reserve board, conferred with Mr. Hooker, and Mr. Mellon then issued a statement which said tn part: “While the final detailed estimates of revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year 1930 and 1931 have not been completed, the secretary of the treasury considers the estimates have reached the point where tax reduction should be recommended to the congress at the coming sessions. “The indications are that business profits, dividends, interest, and wage payments in 1929 will considerably exceed those of the year 1928. Our estimates indicate that the government should close both the fiscal years 1930 and 193 i ’with a surplus. Taking all factors into consideration, the secretary of the treasury, with the approval of the President, will recommend tax reduction r o the congress. “The form of relief to the taxpayers which the treasury’s recommendations will probably take will be a 1 per cent reduction of tax on the incomes of individuals and corporations applicable to 1929 incomes and payable in the calendar year 1930. “The total reduction of taxes to be collected during the calendar year 1930 will amount, it is estimated, to approximately $160,000,000. “The reduction, it is hoped, will take the form of a joint resolution of congress, thus permitting prompt action by both houses by avoiding a general revision of the revenue law. “The proposal has been discussed with the Republican and Democratic leaders of both houses of congress, who have tentatively approved the proposed recommendation.” It was believed in Washington that enactment of the necessary legislation will come early in the regular session of congress, which opens on December 2. » COMMENT on the stock market situation seems superfluous, for every one in the country has been reading the financial columns with avidity if not with dismay. Day after day prices continued their downward ; way and it seemed as if the market had no bottom. Even the bears were surprised, and one ol their leaders, Jesse Livermore, was quoted as saying that prices of many of the good stocks had fallen too low. But the amateur speculators were panicstricken and refused to listen to reason. Many of the highest-priced industrials fell to new low records for the year, and lots of bargain hunters of the previous week were caught in the jam. The New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday took steps to ferret out the undercover selling that had foiled all efforts to stabilize the market. Every member was called on to give at once the following information: A list of stocks borrowed and from whom and for whose account; a list of stocks loaned and to whom; intra-office borrowings and for whose accounts; a list of all stocks which they have failed to deliver, and for whose account. This action, together with the tax reduction news, brought on a of buying orders, and prices began to move upward. PRESIDENT HOOVER’S Armistice day address at Arlington National cemetery was hailed in America and Europe as one of the most important statements ever made by him, and it

Progress of Culture Made Scientific Study Indians of prehistoric America constitute rare material for the laboratories of science, Dr. A. V. Kidder said In a lecture at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Doctor Kidder spoke on the oldest known Inhabitants of America and their importance to science. Two factors, he said, combine to create an unparalled opportunity in the Southwest for study of the growth of early tuman culture.

was given general approval. Briefly, he challenged the other powers to a radical reduction of naval armaments, declaring that the United States would reduce its naval strength in proportion to any other, that it remained for the others to say how low they would go and that “il cannot be too low for us." He suggested the exemption of merchant ships, carrying food exclusively, from seizure .by belligerents as the first step in solving the problem of the freedom of the seas. He proposed amplification of the Kellogg anti-war pact by provision of automatic machinery for investigation of disputes involved in violation of the pact, subjecting the aggressor to the “searchlight of public opinion." And he suggested the need of additional arbitration treaties and of an authoritative system of international law. Throughout his address Mr. Hoover revealed himself as an ardent advocate of world peace and the reduction of preparations for war, but asserted the latter must be by agreement only. “I have no faith in thd reduction of armaments by example alone,” said the President. “Until such time as the nations can build the agencies of pacific settlement on stronger foundations; until fear, the most dangeri ous of all national emotions, has been proved groundless by long proof of International honesty, until the power of world public opinion as a restraint of aggression has had many years of test, there will not have been established that confidence which warrants the abandonment of preparedness for defense among nations. To do so may invite war. “I am for adequate preparedness as a guaranty that no foreign soldier shall ever step upon the soil of our country.” It should be noted that Mr. Hoover said his suggestion concerning food ships in war times would not be discussed at the London naval reduction conference. ONE of the many interesting events on Armistice day was thd dedication of the Ambassador bridge, the first to be built across the Detroit river to Canada. It is the longest bridge of its type in the world and cost $20,000,000. Its free span is 1,850 feet long and its total length is one and eight-tenths miles. The ceremonies included military parades in both Detroit and Canada and addresses lauding the structure as an aid in perpetuating the 114 years of peace between the United States and the Dominion. CIR RONALD LINDSAY, British under secretary of state for foreign affairs, has been selected as ambassador to Washington to succeed Sir Esme Howard, who retires^from the diplomatic service early next year. Sir Ronald is well known In this country and his wife is an American, | a daughter of the late Colgate Hoyt of New York. Nelson Johnson, assistant secretary of state in charge of far eastern affairs, was appointed by President Hoover to be minister to China to succeed John Van A. Mac Murray, resigned. He is a “career” diplomat who has served In China and is remarkably well posted on the entire far eastern situation. William Phillips has resigned the post of American minister to Canada, to the deep regret of President Hoover and the State department. He was offered another diplomatic post, but wished to return to the United States on account of his children. CENATOR BINGHAM’S theory that the senate lobby committee was packed against tariff bill received a measure of substantiation when its chainnan, Senator Caraway, asserted thatklts labors would soon be concluded. For of all the lobbies operating in Washington, little or no attention has been pale by the committee to any others than those whose concern is the tariff. Joseph R. Grundy, veteran lobbyist for Pennsylvania interests, was recalled by the committee last week and Mr. Caraway demanded that he name the senators from “backward” states who, be contended, have too much voice in fixing the policies of the nation. Mr. Grundy said that on reflection he had decided this would be improper and unbecoming, and Mr. Caraway called

These burials and possessions of the Indians found with them and in the shelters enable archeologists to study the progress of their culture In the greatest detail. The other favoring factor is the scarcity of water In the Southwest which caused the Indian groups to congregate where water supplies were

Chairman Caraway dealt with the testimony given by William Burgess of New Jersey, ■ representative of pottery and other interests. The senator flatly accused Burgess of perjury and slander- and said he was a paid lobbist who had “no regard whatever for his repu- > tation.” DELEGATES to the conference to establish the new Bank of International Relations signed the statutes, i charter and trust agreements of the institution and departed from Baden Baden. The statutes, as published immediately, fix Basel, Switzerland, as the seat of the bank and describe Its purposes as: “To promote co-operation of the central banks, provide additional facilities for international financial operations and to act as trustee or agent in regard to the international financial settlements entrusted to it.” So long as the Young reparations plan is operative the bank will not only "observe provisions of the plan in administration of operations of the bank," but also will “conduct its affairs with a view to facilitating execution of the plan.” During the Young plan’s operation the bank is vested with the functions of receiving and distributing the German reparations and supervising and assisting in commercialization and mobilization of certain parts of the German annuities. NADIR SHAH, the new king of Afghanistan, has issued a proclamation saying that strict prohibition is to be enforced in that country. The rights of the people are to be equal, with no distinctions as to nationality, caste or birth excepting those prescribed by the Shariat—sacred law. A recognized national army has been established and equipped with the latest implements of war. A military school is to be founded at Kabul, the capital, where officers will be trained in modern scientific warfare. King Nadir also says he hopes to conclude a trade treaty with the United States. REDUCED to poverty and without desire to live longer, the former Princess Victoria, eldest sister of the ; ex-kaiser of Germany, died in a hos- . pital in Bonn at the age of sixty-three ‘ years. Wilhelm was estranged from her when she married Alexander Soub- I koff, a Russian refugee, and gave her ' no assistance when she was forced to I sacrifice all her possessions to pay her ' husband’s debts. She had applied for divorce from the dissolute Soubkoff, i who was expelled from Germany and has been working as a waiter in Luxemburg. Other deaths were those of James A. Robb, finance minister of Canada; Dr. E. A. Allen, chief of the experiment stations of the Department of Agriculture; Dr. Frederick Monsen of California, eminent anthropologist, and James J. Riordan, New York banker and close friend of Al Smith, who committed suicide. WHAT is believed to be the largest embezzlement in the nation's history was revealed by a statement of the officers of the Union Industrial bank of Flint, Mich. It shows that within the last few months ten or more of the bank’s employees have stolen from it mopey and securities to the amount of $3,592,000. Charles S. Mott, president of the institution, has deposited cash enough from his private fortune to guarantee the depositors against loss. SOCIETY along the Atlantic seaboard was provided with a sensation when it was learned that William W. Willock, Jr., of New York had married Adelaide Ingebert, a recent immigrant from Norway who had been his mother’s chambermaid. The young grodm is the son of W. W. Willock of the social register and former vice president of the Jones & Laughlin Steel company, and his mother was the daughter of the late B. F. Jones. The family fortune Is reputed to be more than one hundred million dollars, but how much the son will get is questionable. He and his bride were found in a $5 a week room in Oyster Bay. <©, 1829.

Thus the remains of their habitation have accumulated in the soil in successive layers and scientists can use principles of stratigraphy in determining the relative age and the order of development of various groups. These remains are tremendously worth study because they reveal to the scientist the course of progress which was made when human beings succeeded in taming a wild grain to insure a cereal crop.

The lesson committee has rightly suggested the entire book of Jonah as the bnsis of our study. The topic j selected by the committee muy seem I a little strained. It will hardly do io : | call the spirit which moved Jonah to ■ : preach to the Ninevites. patriotism; . rather, we should recognize it as the i passion ot a missionary going forth with the message ot God. calling upon men to repent and turn to Him Patriotism means love for one’s country, while the spirit of the missionary is passionate love for lost men of all I countries. I. Jonan'a Call and Commission fl :1. 2). Jonah, a Jew, was" called to go and preach repentance to a Gentile city, in a real sense, salvation is ot the Jews. In the seed of Abraham all nations ot rhe earth shall be blessed (Gen 12:1. 2) The story ot Jonah graphically portrays the history of Israel as a nation. God separated Israel to be rhe channel through which His mercy and salvation were to be carried to all the nations of the earth. They, like Jonah, have been recreant to duty. Because of this God has caused them to be swallowed up by the nations, who will one day In the future spue them out upon dry ground. Palestine. After chastisement they, like Jonah, will discharge their obll gation and nations will repent and turn to God. 11. Jonah’s Flight From Duty (1:8). He turned his back ui>od God and attempted to flee from His presence He went In the opposite direction to which he was sent He did not believe In foreign missions. In the same way. IsracJ has become an apostate people, and instead of being a blessing has become a burden upon and a curse to the nations. 111. Jonah's Correction (1:4-2:10). 1. Overtaken by a storm (1:5). Trouble soon came upon the disobe--lient servant of God. So with the Jews, misfortune after misfortune, storm after storm have overtaken them because they turned from God. They are now tossed about by the aatlons. They, like Jonah, are asleep. 2. Cast overboard (1:15). In their perplexity the sailors cast lots and rhe lot fell upon Jonah. According to his own direction they did this. God had prepared a great fish whlcn swallowed Jonah. 3. Jonah’s deliverance (ch 2). Jonah tn his affliction turned to God ind prayed (James 5:13) God miraculously preserved him while In the belly of the fish God tins , miraculously preserved Israel while In the heart of the nations. The tisb could not digest Jonah, neither can the nations assimilate Israel. Jonab repented while tn the fish. So Israel I will repent as she goes Into the great i tribulation. God made the fisb to i vomit out Jonah. So He will at the proper time cause rhe nations to cast i out Israel. IV. Jonah’s Commission Renewed. ' (3:1-10) Although Israel has been rebellious I ind failed In rhe execution of her commission, she will repent and go forward to fulfill her commission in preaching the gospel to the nations ts the earth. Observe: 1. The field of his ministry (v. 3). It was to be the great Gentile city Nineveh. Israel’s field is the Gentile nations. \ 2. His message (v. 4). He was instructed to “preach the preaching" which God had commissioned him to utter —announcing that Nineveh was to be overthcown within forty days. 3. Effect upon the people of Nineveh (w 5-10). They repented and sued for pardon. In the time to come the Gentile nations will repent of their sins when the gospel of the kingdom is preached unto them by the Jews. V. Jonah's Behavior (4:1-11). 1. His displeasure (vv 1-3). He now makes known the real reason for his flight from duty. He knew that the gracious God would spare the people who repented. We have here a ease of a preacher ot repentance mortified when the people repent and are pardoned. 2. God reproves Jonah (vv. 4-11). By means ot the gourd God shows him his error. The closing scene affords a striking example of the patience and pity of God in contrast with the hard-heartedness of man. “Give That to Me” We are here on earth to be trained to give and not to grasp. We gain most by giving mosL We lose by grasping. If we blindly refuse to give and Insist on grasping, God comes to □s as a wise father to a greedy child and says: “Give'that to Me." He comes to make us give because by giving only can we truly receive; not to take from us our Joy, but that by giving to Him we may receive more Joy. —John Hopkins Denison. Humility In the list of the Beautitudes it is Humility to which the first crown is i given. Unless a man becomes as a little child, he cannot enter the kingdom I pf heaven, and unless he remains a 1 dttle child, he can make no progress thebein.
