NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Hoover’s Prosperity Program Goes Well—China Asks Russia Be Checked. By EDWARD W. PICKARD BUSINESS as usual—and then some. This appears to be assured by the responses made to President Hoover’s call and by the programs disclosed in the series of conferences held in Washington at his summons. The last of these conferences with different groups was that with the representatives of public utilities on Wednesday. They were the spokesmen for the electric power and light interests, the gas companies and the street railways, and after having held separate meetings in New York to canvass the situation in their respective fields, they went to the National Capital prepared to assure the President that they, like the other groups, were ready and willing to assist in his program for stabilizing business conditions and assuring the continuance of the country’s prosperity. They told him their organizations would spend about $1,500,000 in improvement and expansion during 1930. Mr. Hoover sent a message to the governors of all the states asking that they co-operate by the state, municipal anjjl county programs and speeding up, so far as possible, public works so as to further employment. The responses were most gratifying. giving assurance of the expenditure with the next year of hundreds of millions for road building and other public improvements. Pennsylvania headed the list of states making definite pledges, announcing that $155.000,000 would be available in 1930 for roads and public buildings and that it would be distributed throughout the state with a view to taking up any employment slack that occurs. Leaders of-farm organizations met with the President Monday, Secretary of Agriculture Hyde and Chairman Legge of the farm board being present. Mr. Hyde announced that they were in hearty accord with the Hoover program and promised to aid it in every possible way, and he added: “The general opinion expressed was that confidence has been gaining in agriculture and that the morale of agriculture is now better than it has been for years past. Except in short crop areas there has been genuine improvement in agriculture and an increased income, and therefore an increased buying power this year." RIILROAD executives having announced extensive plans for expansion and improvement: leading industrialists having promised there shall be no reduction in wages, and heads of organized . labor having pledged their word that there shall be no demands for increases in pay next year; and numerous associations of manufacturers and merchandisers reporting good conditions in their fields, it would seem that ) the prospects for continued prosperity are indeed bright. The nation is determined to show that the speculation crash has not done vita) damage. Edwafd N. Hurley, one of Chicago’s level headed business men and a former president of the Illinois Manufacturers’ association, put the matter so well that he is worth quoting. “There is nothing wrong with American business and the outlook for 1930 is most encouraging," Mr. Hurley declared. “We have everything today that we had on September 1 in the way of brains, wealth and earned income. Nothing is gone except some delusions as to the amount of profits which American industries might earn in years to come. r “The deflation of so-called stock values from about $90,000,000.000 on September 1 to some $71,000,000,000 now does not represent the disappearance of one ounce of materia) wealth. Ultimately this ‘loss’ represents a positive gain, because it will insure wore and cheaper capita) and the industries will be relieved of the pressure to earn extravagant profits which is exercised by a speculative securities market” As a culmination of the President’s conferences, seme two hundred of the country’s leading business men were invited by the Chamber of Com- * merce of the United States to gather In Washington on December 5. It was announced that Mr. Hoover would open this conference, the result of which was expected to be the formation of a business council for continuing study of business conditions and the co-ordination of activities. A summary of business conditions, pub” ’ ”• hv the federal reserve board.

reveals a higher industrial activity during the month of October last than in the same period of 1928, although there was a decline in both industrial production and factory employment as compared with the preceding month. The report says that the decrease in production was confined largely to steel and automobiles, although there was also a drop in the daily average output of shoes, leather and flour. CHINA’S Nationalist government and the governments of the three eastern provinces of China have appealed to President Hoover, the League of Nations and the powers signatories of the Kellogg pact for action to halt Russia’s invasion of Manchuria and to punish the Soviets for the seizure of Chinese cities and the massacres of Chinese citizens. Russia’s aggression is termed a deliberate violation of the Kellogg treaty, which both Russia and China signed. The message from the Manchurian provinces was dispatched directly to President Hoover. It cited many definite instances of Russian invasions, raids and massacres. namingXpllaces more than 100 miles within thelborder lines, and added: that if the world tolerates this Russian policy it means “the triumph of Bolshevism and the end of humanity; also the end' of the antiwar pact, which certainly is not the intention of the United States and other signatory powers ” The appeals from Nanking were equally specific and urgent. It was said in Washington that there was no indication that the State department would take any immediate action in response to the call from Manchuria. And the officials there were rather at a loss to know what could be done about it, since the Kellogg pact contains no sanctions and depends wholly on public opinion for its effectiveness. The Chinese Nationalist government, through the German ambassador at Moscow, has made to Russia two proposals for the settlement of the Manchurian dispute, and has rather more than hinted thar-therefusal of both will mean war, for which China will be prepared. The first is for a joint commission with a neutral as chairman; and the second is th\t both nations withdrawStheir forces'thirty miles from the borders to await final settlement of the Si no-Russian issues. Within the last two weeks the Soviet invaders have made decided advances in both eastern and western Manchuria. Hailar was captured, as were Muling and other important points, and it looked as if the Russians were getting ready to close in on Harbin from both sides. Chinese troops everywhere were reported to be retreating almost without offering resistance, and thousands of them were made prisoners and disarmed. Those still in the field were described as lacking sufficient food, ammunition and winter clothing. Japan was excited by the push into Manchuria, for she has many nationals resident there. The Japanese ambassador to Moscow. Tokichi Tonaka. told the Soviet government that Japan demanded that full protection be given its citizens in Manchuria, and Russia promised to exercise every care. The military group is very strong tn Japan and there is some reason to believe it has been preparing to have the country eventually enter the conflict on the side of China. ONE more of the great figures of the World war—perhaps the greatest—passed with the death of Georges Clemenceau, who, as premier, guKMd the destinies of France during the most critical years of the mighty conflict and by his tremendous courage and ability kept his countrymen nerved to their task until victory was achieved. The old giant—he had passed his eighty-eighth year—d|ed In Paris of uremia after many hours of suffering, and the next day the “Father of Victories.” as France called him when he wask its idol, was laid to rest tn a little village of the Vendee with only a dozen to witness the Interment. In accordance with his .injunctions there was no state funeral, nor were there any religious rites, for Clemenceau was an avowed atheist. Premier Tardieu. however, ordered all flags at half staff and the firing of a salute of 101 guns such as was fired on November 11. 1918. in honor of the armistice. And the Sunday following the funeral the World war veterans marched past the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in honor of the Tiger. Clemenceau’s career and character are familiar to al) the world, as is the part he had tn winning the war and in making the treaty of Versailles. Throughout his stormy life he always was actuated by unswerving loyalty to France and determination to promote her Interests; and yet, at the climax of It all. France denied hltn his final wish, refusing to elect him president of the republic. He thcpXpetlred

from public life and most of his re--1 maining years were spent in seclusion on his estate in the Vendee. DEATH lasr week also claimed Francis Emory Warren. United States senator from Wyoming, who had the distinction of serving longer in the senate than any other man. He was a member of that body for thirty-seven consecutive years. A state funeral for Mr. Warren was held in the senate chamber, with President Hoover and his cabinet. Chief Justice Taft and his associates of the Supreme court, members of the senate and house and the entire diplomatic corps in attendance. The body was then taken to Cheyenne. Wyo„ for burial. Senator Warren’s death removes one of the last three survivors of the Civil war who held high office in Washington. Warren served in the Union forces with Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the Supreme court. Representative Charles M. Stedman of North Carolina served the Confederacy. Another well known American who passed away was Raymond Hitchcock, actor and musical comedy star, who died suddenly tn Los Angeles from a heart attack. He had been in poor health since last May. Lieut. George T. Cuddihy, one of the best pilots in the navy, was instantly killed when an airplane which he was testing at Washington crashed. Cuddihy, who was thirty-three years old, graduated from the Naval academy in 1917, served in the World war and later entered the aviation branch. He distinguished himself in the Schneider cup and other races, and in 1927 flew over the Andes. TOKYO correspondents sent over what purported to be the Japanese program for the London naval conference, and it contained the demand for a 10-10-7 ratio tn cruiser strength and other auxiliary ships, as well as a reduction in the size of capital ships. It seemed certain the United States would oppose the increase of Japan’s ratio in cruisers, but later dispatches from Japan said its delegates had received private instructions to accept considerable less than 70 per cent of the British and American auxiliary navies. France and Italy were still trying in vain io reach a preliminary agreement on policy in the conference. The principle obstacle is that the Italians insist on complete parity with France in all categories of warships. The French oppose this on the ground that Italy has only Mediterranean interests, while France also requires sea power in the Atlantic and in the English channel. The French also oppose giving Italy parity because of France’s widely distributed colonial empire, whereas Italy’s possessions are chiefly Tripoli and the area facing the Red sea. Replying to questions in parliament, Prime Minister MacDonald said the British government was in full agreement with President Hoover’s statement , that the latter’s suggestion for the immunization of food ships in war time would not be discussed in the London conference; and A. V. Alexander, first lord of the admiralty, said of the suggested closing of the naval bases at Bermuda and Jamaica that the government has “no intention to take sucha decision." THE text of the trust agreement for the Bank of International Settlements has been made public by a Peris correspondent. The principal provisions relative-to the Issuance and marketing of bonds are contained in article 12. which provides that the international bank, as trustee, will be guided in matters relative to mobilization of annuities “by the provisions of the (Young) plt\n which govern mobilization.” The bank also will inform the creditor governments when it seems “practically possible’’ to proceed with the issuance of bonds. r CREATION of five new cardinals was announced at the Vatican, bringing the membership of the sacred college to 62, of whom 33 are nonItalians. The new list included the Most Rev. Joseph Macßory, archbishop of Armagh; Msgr. Cerejelra, patriarch of Lisbon; Archbishop Verdier of Paris, Archbishop Lavitrano of Palermo and Archbishop Minorettl of Genoa. GEN. C. P. SUMMERALL, chief of staff, in his annual report recommends the enactment of a selective service law to operate In war time as the one method of procuring nqw units for the “far from complete” infantry division of the army. In other respects the report reflects a generally satisfactory condition throughout the army, says the decentralization systeniis justified, and that increased ration. allowances have greatly improved the morale of the troops. & I*3o W<M<t«ra Newspaper Union.)

GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt love thy neighbor ae thvself PRIMARY TOPlC—Being a Good Neighbor JUNIOR TOPIC —Being a Good Neighbor. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— How to Be a Good Neighbor. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Modern Good Samaritan: Who la He? It Is difficult to discover a thread of unity running through the texts selected by the lesson committee. The readier should choose between them, making a study of the one best suited to the needs of the class if the use ot all the texts be desired, the teacher will be under the necessity ot selecting the verses from each unit besi suited to the .needs ot the class. Perhaps rhe nearest approach to unity of treatment of the texts In the light ot the lesson subject would be the following: I. Who Is My Neighbor? (Luke 10:29. 30) The parable ot the Good Samaritan makes clear who is a neighbor and also what It means to be a neighbor. This destitute and wounded man left on the highway by the robbers, needed a neighbor. My neighbor therefore. Is the one who needs my help—whether he Ilves next door or on the other side of rhe world. 11. What Being a Neighbor Means (Cuke 10:31 37) Out primary concern is not—who ois my neighbor? but whose neighbor am I? Being a neighbor is: 1. To be on the lookout for those in need ot help (v 33). 2. To have compassion on the needy (v 33). Human need called forth Christ’s compassion All who have His spirit will be likewise moved. 3. To give to those in need (v 34) This means not only to give money to help the poor, but also to minister to them. The human touch is fre quently ot greater value than material aid. 4. To bind up wounds (v 34). 5. To set the helpless ones on our beasts while we walk (v 34). 6. To bring to the inn and take care of the unfortunate (v. 34) 7. Genuine love is nor spasmodic, but completes Its service. 8. To give money (v 35). It costs much to be a neighbor. Love is rhe most expensive thing in the world. It cost God His only Son: it cost Christ His life. 111. The Test of Pure Religion (James 1:26. 27) 1 The tongue is bridled (v. 26). This means that those who have experienced Christ will speak with discretion 2. Sympathizing with and helping those in need (v 271 The widow and orphan are the symbols ot helplessness and need Those who have true piry win visit such and render necessary aid 8. Keep unspotted from the world (v. 27) The one who has truly experienced the life from God will separate himself from the world. IV. Judgment of the Nations (Matt. 25:31-46) It is difficult to see what bearing this text has upon neighborly responsibility as it is a picture ot the Judgment which is to take place at the end ot this age. 1. Tne Judge (v. 31). tie is the Son ot Man who died to zfedeetnxthe human race. He will Xhen be clothed with majesty and pow erXoccupjling His throne, acting as 2. Thte trrhe <v. 31). It will take place when the Lord comes m His glory, accompanied with a retinne of glorious angels. It will take nlaee after He has gathered the elect remnant ot Israel. 3. Trie place (v. 31). From Zechariah 14:1-5 we learn that it will be in or near Jerusalem. Since, according to Luke 1:31-33. Christ is to sit upon the throne of His father David, we conclude that the place will be real and the throne real. 4. The people judged (vv. 32-45) They will be the living nations upon the earth after the translation ot the church (1 Thess. 4:16. 17). Tiiey will be people unto whom the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached (Matt 24:14). Those who preach this gospel will be Jews (Rev 7 and Romans 11). They will be the hretb ren of the Lord in the flesh. 5. The Issue of the judgment (v. 46). (1) The sheep. Israel, shall enter upon their inheritance of the prepared kingdom. (2) The goats, rejecters ot Christ, go into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Rea) Success Success is not 'always to be measured by money, position, or reputation, although these visible marks of achievement are the usual spurs to ambition. In what the world calls failure, God often stores the richest success. f — ■- By Love Alone Love alone in this world is the conqueror, by love alone can the nations of the world be brought into the paths of peace; to pursue and to attain love is to pursue the one thing needful to attain the only thing in the world.— Rt Hon. Stanley Baldwin. Punishment Extraordinary attiictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary . sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces. Sarictlfied afllia tlons are spiritual promotions.—Matthew Henry
