NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Industry and Finance Give Assurance That Nation’s Business Is Sound. By EDWARD W. PICKARD UNLESS President Hoover and the leaders of finance, industry and labor are all wrong, the country’s business structure is on a firm basis and there is no reason why prosperity should decrease, despite the stock market collapse which in six weeks reduced stock prices by about 87 per cent. What the leaders mentioned think about the situation was brought out in the conferences called in Washington by the President. First toi gather were the presidents of a J number of railways, together with William Butterworth, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; Julius Barnes, chairman of the chamber's board; Secretaries Mellon and Lamont and Ernest L. Lewis, chairman of the Interstate Commerce commission. President Hoover thus told of the results of this meeting: “The railway presidents were unanimous in their determination to cooperate in the maintenance of employment and business progress. It was stated that the railways which they represented would proceed with full programs of construction and betterments without any reference to recent stock exchange fluctuations; that they would canvass the possibilities of further expansion, and that amongst these particular railways it appeared that the total volume of such con-’ struction work already indicated an increase during the next six months over the similar period of last year.” Later in the week, at the annual meeting of the Railway Business association in Chicago, the rail officials of the country gave out more definite information of their plans for expansion and betterment which will call lor the expenditure of a billion dollars. The second group to assemble in the White House included the twelve members of the advisory council of the federal reserve system and the members of the federal reserve board, together with government officials. They gave assurance of the soundness of the business structure and the probability of cheaper money. Each member of the council reported that business and banking throughout his district were in a sound condition. On Thursday morning the nation’s Industrial leaders assembled, with Julius Rosenwald, Henry Ford and Owen D. Young of the General Electric company at their head. Included in the conferees were the chiefs of nearly all the great corporations—an Impressive gathering indeed. The President asked. these men to cooperate in maintaining their business activities on the same plane as in past months and to make’ expansions wherever possible. What the President particularly desires to avoid is a curtailment of industrial activity in anticipation of a possible business ■ slump due to the stock market collapse? He received the assurance that the constructive activities of the various industries would be continued, and even expanded to take up the slack in employment. That afternoon William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and other prominent labor leaders, together with Secretary of Labor Davis, conferred with Mr. Hoover. And it was announced that on Monday there would be meetings of the leading public utility magnates and of farm leaders. Thursday evening Mr. Hoover announced that a truce between capital and labor had been made; that the big Industries of the country would not reduce wages and that organized labor would make no demands for increased pay. Both groups, he said, had pledged themselves to assist the President in his endeavor to maintain business stability and progress. Soon after this Henry Ford announced that a general wage advance was to take effect immediately in all his automobile plants, benefiting about 135,000 men. He gave his views on the industrial situation, maintaining that prices of commodities are too high and must come down, while wages are too low and must be raised. As a result of the series of conferences it is planned to set up some ■ort of an organization to act as a clearing house for the activities of the different groups. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Butterworth, in co-operation with Secretaries Mellon and Lamont, will figure prominently In this work. JAMES W. GOOD, secretary of war, died In n Washington hospital following an operation for acute ap-

pendicitis. The news of his demise was heard with deep regret throughout the country for Mt. Good was regarded as a most efficient servant of the nation and was popular with a host of friends. President Hoover was especially grieved by the death of a man who had been his close associate for years and who held his high regard. The war secretary was given all military honors at the funeral services which were held in the east room of the White House and were attended by the President and Mrs. Hoover, the members of the cabinet and as many others high in the government as could be accommodated. Then the body, on an artillery caisson drawn by six bay horses, was escorted to the railway station and taken on a special train to Cedar Rapids, lowa, Mr. Good’s boyhood heme, for burial. It was accompanied by committees representing the administration and the senate and house and by Acting Secretary of War Hurley and General Summerall. army chief of staff. PRESIDENT HOOVER has completed the delegation to the naval conference in London by naming as additional menders Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams and Ambassadors Charles G. Dawes. Dwight W. Morrow and-Hugh S. Gibson. The others, previously selected, are Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania and Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas. Admiral William V. Pratt, commander of the United States fleet, and Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, retired, will accompany the delegation as naval advisers. The addition of Secretary Adams and the three ambassadors to the delegation was a measure taken to pacify Admiral Jones, who had threatened to refuse to go along because he thought the administration was not giving proper consideration to the navy and the naval authorities who have been opposing what they considered too great concessions to Great Britain. It was said the admiral is now satisfied. FINDING it was impossible to complete its version of the tariff bill this month, the senate voted, 49 to 33, to adjourn the special session of congress sine die on Friday night, and the house concurred This gives the lawmakers an intermission of ten days before the regular session convenes on December 2. The adjournment was proposed by the Democrats and the old guard Republicans voted for it because they are disgusted with the tariff measure as it now stands. The new grouping of younger Republicans, headed by Senator Allen of Kansas and called “Young Turks” by Senator Pat Harrison, tried to keep the session alive, believing much more progress with the schedules could be made. The tariff bill retains its place on the senate calendar as unfinished business, and though the Vare case comes up for disposal during the first week of the regular session, the senate leaders hope the tariff measure can be passed before the Christmas recess. Doings of lobbyists in behalf of high and lbw tariff on sugar were invest! gated by the senate committee on lobbying during the week, and the information elicited was interesting though not especially incriminating. Most important of the witnesses was President Rentschler of the National City bank of New York, which institution is deeply Interested in Cuban sugar plantations and refineries. SENATOR George H. Moses remains chairman of the Republican senatorial campaign committee, despite the animosity he aroused among the western radical senators recently. Thie committee met last week and apparently all was harmonious. Consequently the New Hampshire senator will be in charge of the arrangements for the re-election of those solons whom he stigmatized during the tariff debates as “sons of the wild ass.” Harry f. Sinclair, on magnate, completed his term of imprisonment for contempt of the senate and the District of Columbia Supreme court and was given his freedom after 198 days of confinement. He seemed happy and healthy and posed obligingly for news photographers, declared he was guilty of no moral turpitude and asserted his imprisonment was “in violation of common sense and common decency” to make him the scapegoat for corrupt politicians. CONGRESSMAN- Edward E. Denison Marion, 111., a bone dry, is added to the victims of the prohibition laws. He and John Layne, his former secretary, were indicted by a grand Jury in Washington on a charge of illegal possession of liquor. The Indictment Is based on the ,fact that, eleven months ago, a trunk and suit case containing liquor were delivered to Mr.. Denison tn the house office building, being ad-

dressed to Layne in Denison’s care. Federal agents opened the trunk In his presence. The congressman says he explained at the time that the bag gage was not his and had been checked to him by mistake in New York after his return from a trip to Panama. The agents, he asserts, expressed themselves as satisfied and said there would be nothing more to it. In Washington it was said Denison’s receipt for the trunk was laid before the grand Jury. Layne, who is now connected with the internal revenue bureau, has flatly denied any connection with the liquor. SECRETARY of the Treasury Mellon submitted to the senate a report it called for on the prohibition activities from April 1 to October 1, and it shows that though more money and more agents were used, dry law enforcement slackened considerably in that period. Both the number of violators arrested and the number of prosecutions recommended in the federal courts dropped under those during the corresponding period last year, the report showed. At the same time the prohibition agents throughout the country have captured fewer stills and confiscated less Illicit liquor than during the previous period. Attempting to explain the apparent letup in the activity of his forces. Prohibition Commissioner James M. Doran, in a statement accompanying the Mellon report, declared that the “quality” of the work has improved. TWO of our new ambassadors presented their credentials last week at the courts to which they are accredited. John W. Garrett was received with all due ceremony by King Victor Emmanuel of Italy after being conveyed with his staff to the Quirinal palace in three gala coaches. In the royal palace in The Hague Ambassador Gerrit J. Diekema was received by Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands. MOST of New York, New England and the maritime provinces of Canada were startled by a series of violent earthquake shocks early in the week. At first it was believed no material damage had resulted, but in a few hours the cable companies found that nine of their twenty-four Atlantic cables had been broken. The center of the disturbance was at sea be tween Nova Scotia and New York, and several liners that were in that region were brought up standing as if they had run against a reef. Toward the end of the week came the belated news that the quake had caused an immense tidal wave which hit the Burin peninsula on the south coast of Newfoundland. Several villages were swamped by the water and at least thirty-six persons were killed. GEN. PASCUAL ORTIZ RUBIO was elected president of Mexico, defeating Jose Vasconcelos by a large majority. Rubio may be relied on to carry on the policies of President Gil. He is of an old Mexican Indian family, tracing his ancestry to the last of the Tarascan kings of Michoacan. He has had an adventurous life, taking part in all the revolutionary activities since his youth. SOVIET RUSSIAN forces. Invading Manchuria, captured Dalai Nor. . the key position of the Chinese front line defenses in the “Three Rivers” district, after nineteen hours of bloody fighting. The Russians thus cut off the Chinese position in Manchouli and opened the way for a drive on Hail ar. besides gaining possession of valuable coal mines. Leaders of the “people’s army” that has been fighting the Chinese Nationalist government troops made peace offers to Nanking but on such terms that President Chiang Kai-shek could not accept them. TP. O’CONNOR, called the father •of the British house of commons and familiarly known to the wArld as “Tay Pay,” died in London at the age of eighty-one years of septic poisoning Famous as an Irish Nationalist and as a Journalist, he had served as a member of parliament for forty-nine consecutive years. FRENCH and German experts are now in session in Paris trying to work out a plan for the disposal of the Saar basin without waiting for the Versailles treaty to take its natural course. Over the protests of America, the rich Saar basin was taken from Germany after the war and confided to the care of the League of Nations. It was arranged that in 1935 there was to be a plebiscite held in the region, when the natives would be given an opportunity to say whether they favored French or German rule. The mines of the Saar basin were banded over to France for al) time, except that the Germans were entitled to buy them back after 1935 (©. 1»2». We* tern N*w*p*>«r Union.)

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Christian Home: Its Helps anti Hindrances Instead ol an exposition of *he printed text, as suggested by the lesson committee, if will ne better to make a synthetic study ot <he salient points of the several reference texts proposed tv the <>omiiiittee. I. The Makers of the Home (MatL 19:3-9) The norne is a divine institution, its makers are rhe man and the woman ioined togethei in holy wedlock, according to God’s primary taw—one man for one woman and one woman for one man 1. This union is based upon rhe fundamental fact of sex tv 4). and is so vital that God xclared rhe man and the woman to be one flesh (Gen 2:24) 2. Divorce was not in God’s thougut for man (v fl) it was only permitted because of sin (v 8). Divorce has the disapproval ot God and right thinking tnen and women. It is a blot upon our civilization. Its fearful increase shows the moral breakdown of society. 3 Fornication rhe one and only ground for divorce (v 9) Laxness ot rhe divorce taws causes the Christian to hang his head in shame II The ideal Child (Lake 2:40-52) Marriage has as Its primary purpose the propagation ot the race Children are to be desired and expected Christ stands as the ideal child in rhe home 1. His central interest (v 491 “My father’s business’’ Being con scious ot His Mission He entered the temple to inquire into the meaning ot the ordinances <»t God’s house. 2. His obedience <« 51) Though fully conscious ot His divine being and mission. He went down to Nazareth and lived a life of filial obedience. 3. His development (v 52). (1) Bodily—“lncreased in stature.” His body became strong A strong, healthy body is .he inalienable right of every child, and parents are obligated to provide food and raiment such as to preserve tlieh health (2) Mental—“lncreased in wisdom.” As a normal human being, his mental powers developed. (3) Spiritual —“The grace of God was upon Him.” and He Increased in favor with God and man How beauti ful is the picture of the symmetrical development of the Savior of men 111. The Place ot God’s Word tn the Home (Dent. 6:3-9) I’he home has a vital teachinu tunc tiou. The child develops slowly . remains in the borne for a long time io give an opportunity to be taught the things ot God. L fThe central truth to be taught (vv. 4,5). This Is twofold. The unity ot God (v. 4) and man’s supreme obligation to God (v 5). 2. How the truth was to be kept alive (vv 6-9). (1) It was to be diligently taugnt to the children (v. 7) (2) It .vas to be talked ot everywhere and under all circumstances (v. 7). (3) ft was to be bound upon rhe hand and placed as frontlets between the eyes (v 8). (4) It was to be written upon the posts of the houses (v. 9) IV. The Early Training ot the Child (11 Tim. 1:3-5; 3:14. 15). Timothy was taught the Scriptures from his childhood by a godly mother and grandmother. The Holy Spirit uses the Word ot God in rhe salvation of children as well as adults. V. Christ a Guest in the Home (Luke 24:28-32). At the urgent invitation of certain disciples. Christ tarried in their home and sat at meat with them Christ will come into the home and bless those who sincerely invite Him VI. Mutual Relation of the Mem bers of *he Home (Eph K:l-9) In the home are found father, mothe-. children, and sometimes servants. Each member has certain rights and privileges whim must tie re speeted. Children are to obey and honor their parents. Parents are not to provoke their children to wrath, but to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Servants are to be obedient to their masters and to render service as unto the Lord. Masters are to show consideration to I tiieir servants, since they themselves are servants to the heavenly Master. The Approach to God Jesus appeals to our deepest nature; ! our hearts go out to Him instinctively and hail Him as their Friend and Lord, and confess how good He is. Turning to Him and accepting Him is just letting our hearts have their way and allowing our true selves to rise up and live. And this is Conversion. It is the soul approaching and welcoming Jesus. Our Scrap* of Time If you have not much time at your disposal, do not fail to profit by the smallest portions of time which remain to you. We do not need much time in order to love God, to renew ourselves in His presence, to lift up our hearts towards Hiro, to worship Him In the depths of our hearts, to offer Him what we do and what we suffer.— Fenelon.
