From far and near they have come: from the hills and the valleys, the cities and the farms, the shops and the offices to attend their meetand handings, renew old acquaintances in the Church. clasps with their Missing from the ranks of those gathered this fall, are the mission presidents who usually come from all sections Of the United States and fropa Canada to attend the Conference sessions. At this time. however, it has been deemed advisable for them to remain in the field of their labors, as many missionaries from England and the mntinent, who were returned to the United States when war began in Europe. have been assigned to the missions in America. Those missionaries have not become entirely settled in their new fields and it was thought a part of wisdom for the mission presidents to remain at their posts of duty at this time., But aside from this one group, those convened are largely the same faithful ones who converge upon Salt Lake twice yearly to hear the words of truth as they come from the lips of their leaders, and to receive the advice and instruction whuh they may take back home with them to those who were not fortunate enough to get to Salt Lake for the meetings. While here they will gather in Joy-f'reunion, meet friends whom, perhaps, they have not seen in years. and have a time of happiness and rejoicing. And when the Conference is over, they will leave here with their ideals reburnished. their faith burning brighter and their determination stronger to follow as nearly as possible in the footsteps of the Master. So. it Is good to have these conferences twice yearly that many thousands of the members of Christ's great Church may e together in one spirit, one faith and with one objecth'e, to bring to pass the purposes of Cod noon the earth.

The lines, with equipment now at hand and in its present condition, could handle a minimum of 25 per cent more than present business. By putting into serviceable condition the cars and engines now awaiting repair because they are not needed for present business, the railroads could handle 50 per cent more than present business. Since the time of the last general car shortage, some fifteen years ago, improved methods have been employed in keeping equipment in condition to take .care of emergencies in transportation. Then again, freight trains are more than GO per cent faster on the average, than they were in 1520, and the average output of transportation for each hour that trains are on the road has been more than doubled in the same period. These facts are Vouched for by officials of American railroads. In spite of the coming into use of other forms Of common carriers, the steel lines remain the. backbone of our transportation system. They handle with dispatch and why practically rill Of the heavy freight. They reach into every corner of the country and they have not Only kept abreast of the times but in many cases ahead of progress. And this amazing development has been made during years when the industry has earned even a modest profit. Congress should see to it that at its next session our chaotic transportation policy is thoroughly examined and readjusted. of American Railroads.

'Arrangements are practicallypleted to put this plan into effect, and it is expected to be in operation, in this city and county within the next few weeks. Selection of Salt Lake as one of the places where this plan could be inaugurated, 'resulted from the fact that the relief setup in this county was considered by the fed. oral officials to be particularly well adapted to the program outlined. Only seven or eight cities in the United States hive been desig- nated to date as eligible for the Inauguration of this plan. and officials having charge cif the administering of public welfare here were delighted to learn of the decision to name Salt Lake as one of the chosen spots. Adoption of this program means that each relief dollar will buy 50 per cent more foodstuff than heretofore. and that the surplus commodities will he distributed through regular stores and not at specified depots as formerly, Commodities currently designated as surplus foods include butter, eggs, fresh appleS, pork lard. dried prunes, onions, (except green onions), corn meal, rains, dry edible beans, fresh pears, wheat, flour, and whole wheat (grahaM) flour, and snap beans. Directly benefitted at this timesill be the 1,7tah farmers by the designation of fresh apples and onions as surplus commodities. While the primary purpose of the stamp program Is to assist the farmers in disposing of their surplus food products at a profit through the .normal trade channels by means of government purchases. the plan is considered ideal in that it will assist the grocers, the needy, and business in general. Operation of the program via be watched with interest, and it is to be hoped that the results realized will be all that sponsors anticipate. IbkImo( (MED. Par Side Of The News i i ACopyright. 1933, King Features , Syndicate Inn4 BY specific order of Chancellor Hitler and the Propaganda Ministry of Germany, the ancient Oberammergau Passion Play will be given its usual decennial production next year, regardless of the war. All male residents of the tiny Alpine village were ordered last March to begin growing beards and long hair, as the play does not allow make-up.' The Faintly Anton Lang, whose life was given to his gentle portrayal of the role of Chrlitua, died last year at the age of 63, saddened becate thererhad been pressure to replace him by a younger man who would give an vigorous, dynamic portrayal of the Saviour." The replacement had been made loefore his death, the role being taken by a young relative, Alois Lang In 1634, after the Thirty Years' war, the black plague swept Europe. The little village of Oberammergau, high in the Bavarian Alps, built a ring of fire around the hamlet, and posted guards to repel any who might approach. The quarantine was effective until a homesick youth who had been straying in the hills. crept through the defense and brought the infection. In a few days 40 persons died. The villagers, in a ceremony in which all were in attendance, pledged. Providence the devout enactment of the Passion every ten years until the end of time if they should be spared from, the plague. The play was given as an act of faith, profoundly real and moving to the deeply religious villagers. Thereafter there were no more deaths from the plague, and the play was given every ten years. In 1674. tl date was changed so that it would fall in the decimal years. The villagers always had maintained themselves easily and adequatley with their flocks and handicrafts, including the mak-- , ing of tiles for porcelain stoVes, which was Anton Lang's craft. But,--ithepost-wa- r inflation period, there, was suffering ana want, and the players, visiting, America., raised about $100.000 for relief through the sale of their handicraft The first play in .which commercialization had definitely crept in was in 1930. Outside promoters. orcanizers and exploiters of various kinds gained a footing. This commercialization no doubt could not be assessed against the rising Nazi gov ernment, as it had not gained power at that time, but in later years, the play became just so much new grist for the propaganda mill, as a lure for tourists, and the play now has been virtually taken over by the same Ministry of Propaganda which has fostered a return to the pagan gods in Germany. A friend of this writer. who attended the play in 1930, found infinite sadness in the peryersion of the play and the little. Arcady where it is given. One wonders if the villagers might not' again build'a ring of ftre to save them from a more deadly and terror than the black plague. tro,r,e ireethe.,official group. It is well recognized' that Great Britain must publiciy-su- ye that no peace terms can be accepted whicit do not provide for ari attainrr,ent (4f objectives for whuch she went to war, and it is cannot likewise understood that Germany publicly set forth terms which would involve a retreat But underlying the peace talk is a frank realization that Germany does not want to keep on fighting, and that the British and French would welcome an honorable way out. The war wes begun in the first instance Without taking ,into. account that the British and French would fight Herr Hitler felt confident he could depend on a localized war, that, as soon as he seized and subjugated Poland, all would be over. He may have even reasoned that. in view of the British treaty with Poland. the former could not avoid parvith a ticipation, but that. if confronted conquered Poland, the British might subsequently' take a different view. Herr Hitler miscalculated the British position and now wants to end the war. He is too well acquainted with British eronouncements. to think that a mere restatement of his pacific aims toward the British and French would be adequate. He knows that some form of guarantee must te forthcoming which would satisfy British aed French opinion. With the entrance ef Ruesia into the picture as guardian ef a colleetion of lesser states. thus blocking Nazi progress to the east, Herr Hitler cermet be as happy now as his makeshift alliance seemed last month to indicate. That Hitler earneStly wants peace now is unquestionably true. Shall his effort 1:e spurned just because he has made a mistake? Are the allied statesmen shrewd enough to penetrate the bluff nd threat and bluster of public speeches and to realize that a prolor,ged war means the economic ruin of all October -- , . A li -- N- - - Europe? There may have to be a good deal swallowing of prideon each side, but loss of pride is of negligible importance if there Is forthcoming a guarantee against constant recurrence of the use of force as a, means of altering boundaries. The key to peace is right here in Washington. If the isolationists group which is so dragged into war would use their talents and energtes to get back of plans to formulate a world peace program, the embargo issues would sckm become academic. , There ts nothing to be lost for the allies to agree to an arrnistice and discussion nerw, each side maintaining status quo in a military and naval sense,tuntil the is:sues. were thorou,ghly examined.
