Bit by bit our senators and representatives have turned over more and more authority and responsibility to President Roosevelt, until today they have loaded him with authority for the making of nearly all the really important rules, for the administration of the rules he makes, and for their interpretation. President Roosevelt could not, and did not, grasp these powers and responsibilities. Congress conferred them upon him as an easy way of getting out of the job senators and representatives were paid for doing, and as an easy way of evading their responsibility. law-makin- g STEWART EDWARD WHITE trained scientific experimenters. In addition, strange tales had been brought back by soldiers who had fought at the front. Many still remember the story of the Angels of Mons. And now with Europe once more drenched in blood, with people being killed daily and whole populations living under hourly threat of death, men of achievement like Lodge and Doyle are again testifying to their conviction that those who have died can and do communicate with the living. And this time something more than mere testimony is being offered. One book, just published, The Unobstructed Universe, by Stewart Edward White, undertakes to chart a program for proving survival by physical experiment and not just through revelation. Life After Death. He has embarked on what he considers an even more important exploring task that of finding out and reporting what goes on beyond the very borders of life itself. Why he believes he has succeeded in this new exploration is told in The Unobstructed Universe. His interest in psychical research is due largely to the persistence of his wife, Betty. It had long been established that she herself was possessed of remarkable psychic powers. But White was skeptical 20 years ago of his wife's excursions into a forbidden frontier which he could not explore himself. An unusually practical man, he had to be shown, and was at last convinced only by the mounting weight of evidence she provided. It was a logical outcome of their joint psvchic experiments that, after his wife's death in April, 1939, S,t about seeking to establish contact with her. How, in his own belief, he finally succeeded he related m The Unobstructed Universe. White's book purports to present-- 3 dt lulled report of how the Rrm retains its ptrsonal spiritual identity; how it is fed, clothed and sheltered. Toe work and even the pleasures cf lne after death are described. 01 intense interest is the explana- tion offered of how the transcended individual fives on with earthly friends, though unseen not merely as a memory, bat as a fully aware person.
