Show AMERICA UBER ALLES SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT j In spite of all the wrong and sin and infamy, there is a plan behind events; the force which guides the universe also guards and watches man, and that force is speaking to this generation in tones that shake the earth. Man is not altogether lost and God is not dead or away. On present chaos He will build the New Earth. And as man listens to the inner spiritual voice and develops the divinity within him he will arise to his full stature and literally come into full possession of all that is good and trne and beautiful. Step up, men, and take hold on the things of the spirit. They alone can save. The great trouble with the world is that the vast major.ty of people and their rulers do not understand life and its meaning, and this is because they suffer with spiritual blindness and deafness. That is why there is so much strife and trouble, so maoy tragedies and tears. God has written His laws on the face of nature, in his great Book, and also in the inner depths of the spirit of man. But men refuse to read and interpret and will not accept the message. Yet there are always the few, the great souls, the spiritual seers, who see and understand, and know, but these are called cranks or reds and sometimes have to face the stake, the gallows or the cross. Away with them.' And therefore humanity muddles in the chaos of today.

But how terribly true it is that ' we are not developing the wealth as we should, and much of what we have developed is really owned outside of the state. And how doubly sad is the thought that, as things are going at pretent, the children, instead of inheriting million dollar I estates, most of them will live and die as paupers. One, a world traveler, traversed Denmark before the present war and told the truth, and what he said may be applied to Norway and Sweden. If there is a more advanced civilii-aiio- n in the world I have missed it. They have become really civilised and learned to get along together. Their Jties are clean and slumless. They practise industrial cooperation. They have an organised and stable agriculture. There is 100 cities, low rate crime and disease, per ct literacy, secure and contented woikers, highly developed social conditions. They seem to be engaged in a spontaneous movment. They are prosperous and g and never even think of war. It has taken a thousand years to attain to such a state. In a single hour the poison miasma of war was spread over the people and their country and all their social acheivements were laid in the dust under the feet of tyranny. In the twinkling of an eye these noble sons and daughters of the North were made vassals and paupers.

Nona can meaaure yet how great or how mall a part thia iaiue win have in tha electioneering on the huatinga, but I am afraid everyone haa to agree that the cubject ia going to figure in the campaign. If proof wera needed of the statement above; one haa only to look into tha announcement that President Rooaevelt haa chosen tha latter part of June for a trip to tha Pacific coast and return. Ha said, tha announcement of his in ana, that ha waa going to talk generally on conservation. A wag in tha press conference that day asked: conservation of what? Tha answer waa a hearty Roosevelt nigh. The Rooaevelt announcement quite naturally act political tonguea to wagging at a great rata.

Of course, I would not accuse Mr. Boosevelt of hying to steal toe show, but I do recan that he hared frontpage space with a Republican convention once before. The President's planned trip which ha aaya waa canted over in the nature cf a postponement from last year when International condl-tiowera hot include! a visit to, and dedication of, tha Great Smoky Mountains National park to North Carolina and Tennessee; a dedicahightion of the way and a visit to Hatches, Mias.; visit to his son, Elliott to Fort Worth, Texas; a visit to the San Francisco exposition, and then a dedication of the Olympic National park, to tha stats of Washington. that whatever the purposes of the Presidents Western trip may be, he is likely to talk about foreign affairs to some extent; and whatever he aaya will be snapped up by opposition. Tha Republican leadership seems to sense the trend of events. Nona of those with whom I have talked are certain Just what tha President will do with toe opportunity ha has made for himself by injecting toe Western trip into toe midst of their convention. They do not know what to expect, but they are looking for something from toe Roosevelt leadership that win have to be met as a campaign issue. This uncertainty may be one of tha real reasons that tha Republicans meetare planning a ing.

Ha urged the state delegations, especially, to elect their members at the convention resolutions committee the platform committee ahead of time. He wanted them to assemble early and save an appreciable amount of time et the convention by working out the platform to advance. These plans are similar to intent. Moreover, they are grounded largely in the seme soil, namely, uncertainty about the meaning of tha Boosevelt policies short of war. For instance, policies abort of war might include loans to the allied powers if Hitler gets them backed up against toe well and their need for money forces an appeal to title country. The Republicans, far I cen figure out, do not wish any part et any further loans because it wee the Wilson administration that made the loans to tha first World war end those loans have not been paid. But whatever the Republican position, there seems no at all to doubt that tha weather eye of tha Republicans ia going to be set on tha Boosevelt policies. There will be other things, too, about which they obviously will complain, but every move of the present administration is being closely watched and win continue to be watched right up to adjournment Policies Short of War of tha Philadelphia convention.
