by Arthur Brisbane THE TIME TO BUY MEDDLING WITH RELIGION THE AKRON A BILL OF MYSTERY

“Circumstances alter cases.” What in peace times is a crime, namely, killing strangers, becomes a patriotic virtue when .war comes, and killing strangers a nation’s business. • Similarly, in this war of depression, what might be called “extravagance” in better times changes to “helpful spending and encouragement of business.* Those able to spend should spend now, even though they strain a point to do it. To refrain from buying things that you want or things that you need, when you have the money, is another form of hoarding. Every dollar put in circulation now does duty doubly and quadruply, whether it be used r for replenishing wardrobes, new household equipment, furniture, automobiles, renovating, painting and otherwise improving houses. All money spent now is literally patriotic spending. 4 Revolution always means great enthusiasm, a desire to do something new. The French revolution, objecting to established religion, decided that there was only one Gird and ordered worship of “the Supreme Being.” Russia's i evolution officially eliminates that Supreme Being, calls religion “the opium of the people,” putting the people to sleep, making them obey orders of their exploiters. Nazis representing revolution in Germany would rewrite the constitution of the Lutheran church. Thirtynine million German Lutherans, prac-J tically -the entire Protestant church in Germany, are to see the ancient swastika emblem taking its place beside the cross. < The church constitution is to be rewritten and German Protestants marrying members of a foreign race will be excluded from the church. It will be laid down as a tenet of the church that if Christ came back Ke would lead the Nazis against com munism. As much of the,world as hears 'he news, talks of the Akron,disaster, fdiowed so swiftly and tragically by that of the nonrigid airship J-3. This country has owned three gre.t d.rigtblea, and two have been wrecked ' with heavy loss oi life. A great majority of Americana hope that this second great air disaster will not diminish government interest in airships of all types, l.ghter than air, or heavier then I ir. It is man's business to conquer the air and it is the business of our government to make this nation the moat powerful in the air.

The Akron disaster will be fully in-! yqetigated, aa is proper, but it is im-‘ probable that “blame" will ever be located, suppo Jng any blame to exist. The government is dredging the sea. floor, below the spot where the wreck • is supposed to have gone down., If raised, is probably would tell noth-, ing. There is no doubt that every member of the crew did his duty couiageously, although bad judgmnet is not impossible. Whether lightning or wind caused the disaster will probably not be known, nor whether, vith better judgment directing the ship, it might have escaped the inten- » sc violence of the electric storm. ' With much haste, and with no definite information given to the public, the house of representatives passes a bill fixing criminal penalties for "unauthorised publication of official documents. " Congressmen are being asked whether this new bill might be used to cover up misconduct or corruption of gov eminent officials, whether the bill could conveniently help to cover up waste of public money, or commit secret agreemenUMvith other countries, made without letting the people know about them. Those that established this government with a good deal of common sense, were especially interested in protecting the right of the people to know what was being done by the government, which, after all, belongs to them. The government now going ahead with its plan to employ 250,000 idle in the forests will establish 1,000 or more forest camps, each to accommodate from 100 to 200 workers by July 1. Each state will send its quota of workers to these camps. The establishment of the camps, let us hope, will be done more economically than such work was done by SI a year patriots of the big war. News from Germany tells you that the number of Jewish brokers on the stock exchange in Frankfort has been cut from thirty-three to eight and the , number of Jewish lawyers allowed to practice limited to 35 in Berlin. This reveals the “milk in the coconut," which is in Germany, as elsewhere, not In the least a question of religion, but of business competition. The British Uke seriously the rights of their citizens in other countries and do not like Russia’s action arresting half a dozen British busineA men in Moscow on chargee of “sabotage,* which in this case means interwith Rumib’b iodlostri*! ptswu

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY. APRIL 13, 1933.

' j CURRENT EVENTS | April 5. Grains sold at the highest prices of the season. September wheat sold at 58*2 and may wheat at 57. The senate agricultural committee reported favorably on the administration farm relief bill, on the farm mortgage bill and embodied in its report a recommendation for currency ' inflation through means of a controlled dollar. The committee eliminated from the provisions of the farm relief bill cattle and sheep and included the so-called Simpson price fixing plan which would attempt to guarantee to farmers the cost of production. •' - ■ The Permanent Court of International Justice sitting at Hague by a vote of 12 to 2 confirmed Denmark’s sovereignity in Eastern Greenland and thereby disallowed Norway’: claims to the same portion of Greenland. April 6. The Senate passed and sent to the House one of the most drastic legislative attempts ever made to overcome machine age employment problems—-a bill limiting labor ir manufacturing industries to five dayi a week and six hours a day. i ~~ ~ A Federal ban on lohns to govei ni ments in default to America of its citizens was recommended to the Senate by its judiciary committee. Plaqs for reoiganizing the state health department to reduce operating costs $7,500 a year was announced by Gov. McNutt. The health board, now composed of four members, will be replaced by an advisory board. i • President Roosevelt, following the receipt of Prime Minister MacDonald’s acceptance of his invitation to come to Washington for economic i and disarmament discussions in preparation for realistic action at the world economic conference, made it known that spokesmen from France, Italy; Germay and Japan would be | equally welcomed • by the President I for successive separate conversations on the same subject. After days of anxiety and indeci- ' sion, France definitely turned thumbs down on Premier Mussolini’s plan for la four-power, “peace club,” to re- . partition Europe. Poland and the • Little Entente also objected.

Preliminary steps in the mobilization of 250,000 men for the reforestation army was begun over the country. April 7. Heads of the governments of China, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil were asked to attend the preliminary conference of the economic conference scheduled to be held in London in June; April 7. Chairman Steagel of the House Banking, after a conference with President Roosevelt,, announced that a sweeping bank reform measure based on the Glass banking bill and providing for a $2,000,000,000 corporation to guarantee Federal reserve member bank deposits 100 per cent will be submitted to Congress. Administration and Congressional leaders neared an agreement on the draft of legislation to provide a 52,000,000,000 refinancing program for small home owners. The legislation follows in general the refinancing plan embodied in the pending farm relief bill for agricultural mortgages, but provides an interest rate of 5 and one half per cent instead of 4 and one half per cent and would be confined to existing loans. April B—-Secretary of State Hull, in an interview, held that the United , States was to blame for leading the ' world into an economic mess. Secretary Hpll declared it was time all nations realised the folly of nationalism, of isolation, of building walls around themselves. The administration program for world progress, he revealed, is to throw open wide the doors of international commerce, to rid the farmers of their crushing surplus; to give back work in the mines to twelve million idle by selling their surplus products abroad, ,'|o put all business on what he tariiied a more healthy and wholesome level. He declared that nations could afford to readjust tariffs to a level of moderation. When it was pointed out to the secretary that the pending farm bill is intended to increase the prices of agriculture products, and that consequently tariff barriers could not be lowered to admit foreign goods at cheaper rates, Mr. Hull evaded a direct answer, simply reiterating that it will be necessary for adjustments to be made. A rewritten bill designed to protect state secrets without infringing on freedom of speech and press was I s (Continued on Last

[COFC. ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE FORBROADCAST After listening to the proposal of John Mertes of the Waco Co., and Mr. Seaman of WOWO, the broadcasting station of the Main Auto Supply Co., of Fort Wayne, the chamberpot commerce agreed tentatively, To accept the proposal to advertise Lake Wawasee and Syracuse by broadcasting programs over WOWO this summer. The business men agreed to subscribe for one unit of the proposition SIBO, if after a canvas of the town by a committee, that sum could be raised for the purpose. According to Mertes, the Waco Co., will furnish the music and entertainment and guarantee the telephone line charges of S6OO. They will also pay $370 toward the cost at the broadcasting station. Five other units of SIBO each, making a total of S9OO must be subscribed by Syracuse and Lake Wawasee places of business to cover the cost of the broadc:sting, ■ the total of which will be $1270.

APPENDICITIS WAS CAUSE OF SCARE What damage rumor, without any foundation, can do, is illustrated by happenings in the High School this past week. Some girls who didn’t want to take physical training started the story that the doctors had said the folk dances and drills being practiced for the physical ed exhibition tomorrow night, caused appendicitis! The rumor spread and the story grew as it traveled, so that scores of girls were asking to be excused from further physical ed this year; and dozens were applying to doctors for excuses from further gym work. Many of these, accoding to the doctors, complained of pains in the left sides! Deciding to put a final stop to it, on Monday, Court Slabaugh questioned both Dr. C. R. Hoy and Dr. Fred Clark, and of course both doctors said they had never suggested such a thing as the training given at school causing appendicitis. According to Dr. Hoy, tonsilitis and colds in the head are frequent causes of appendicitis, as the poison in the system settles in the appendix. Constipation is predisposing .to appendicitis also. He said there have been a number of appendicitis operations recently, there hadn't been a broken arm in this vicinity for months, but three occurred within a few days recently, but that broken arms aren’t catching. Dr. Hoy also said that soldiers in the army exercised for 15 minutes every morning, and he never heard of these exercises causing appendicitis at that time. So Mr. Slabaugh addressed the assembled High School student body, Monday and told them there was no foundation for such rumors, he said he didn’t blame anyone Tor being afraid of appendicitis. But he asked how it happened boys could high jump, run, pole vault, play basketball and baseball, and no one suggest!ed this would cause appendicitis, ; but as soon as the girls of the student body were asked to practice a few folk dance steps to music, it was supposed to damage their appendixes. Miss Hen wood has taken special pains to make the Health Harmony Exhibit a success, tomorow evening, and most of those in her classes are working hard to that end. Decorations have been made and colored lights are to be used to give the desired effect when various folk dances are demonstrated. The exhibition is scheduled to commence at 7:45 Friday evening, in the gym. Articles made in Home Ec classes and woodwork are to be on display that same evening. — .<»- UNDERGOES OPERATION Miss Bernice Held underwent an appendicitis operation in the Warsaw hospital, late Friday night. Her condition b such that she will probably have to remain in the hospital about three weeks. 0Mr. and Mrs. John O’Connor and daughter Glenns Gene of Bremen were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Cripe, Sunday.
