brought him nation-wide fame. The]
(first was a book “Coein’s Financial

Harvey remained a power in the

PEACE SUBJECT OF

Large Crowd Hears Atlan

Chapel Tuesday
By ALBON HAILEY
No man is 100 per cent Ameri
can whose crusading spirit does
not include all the races of the
world and who does not believe
that the peace prosperity of Amer
jca is entwined in that of all the
children of men, Dr. M. Ashby
Jones, Atlanta minister and lect
urer, said Tuesday night in the
University chapel.
“Organized Churches as Instru
mentalities of Peace” was discuss
ed by Dr. Jones in the fourth ad
dress: sponsored by the University
Institute of Public Affairs.
“It is a violation of the Christ
ijan spirit and functioning of the
American people, Dr. Jones said,
when church leaders attempt te
coerce the government by getting
groups to sign plt.’dges not to fight.
“If the people of every country
would unite in giving and uncoerc
ed voice demanding peace, it would
be heard around the worl,” he
said.
“The fundamental principal of
humanity is the fundamental
principal of Americanism. All men
have certain inalienable right,” Dr.
Jones declared and said that no
policy of isolation would bring
peace.
“Co-operation between all the
'nations of the world is the only
way to insure peace,” he, said.

SAVANNAH — (#) — To other
states in the nation, today was:
celebrated as Abraham Lincoln’s
birthday but in Georgia the day
had dual historical :significance—
the birthday of the former presi

founding of the state.
On Feb. 1, 1733, James Edward

tlers arrived near here t; make
their homes. The next day, Feb.
2 they held a Thanksgiving serv
ice to express their gratitude for a
safe voyage, and for the opportun
ities that lay ahead.
Under a change in the calendar
since then, the original Feb. 2 has
been made Feb. 12.
Today was ohserved with spec
ial programs in the schools, and
in some cities as a day of feast
ing, at which Georgia products
were featured.
A Georgia Day dinner will be
held in Valdosta tonight, at whicl

Community service iz the prineipal |
objective of the American Legion
at this time, D. Weaver Bridges,
former district commander of the
Athens-Augusta area told the Jef

Mr. Bridges, ag state chairman of
the Legion Community Service
committee declared that in his con
tacts with Legionnaires through
out the state he has found that theyl
are keenly interested in community |
service objectives. “That, to my
mind,” he said, *is complete ans
wer to those who have misconstru
ed the aims of the Legion and have
mistakenly believed that we are or- |
ganized primarily to get all we can |
out of the government. On the econ- !
trary, our chief aim is to give all
we can to the communities in which
we live” 5
Praising the Jefferson Post for
its interest in community service
projects, Mr. Bridges said that in
the future the interest of Legion
naires in similar undertakings will
be felt throughout the contry. “Here
in Georgia,” he said, “the Legion
Posts, such as yours, have inter
eésted themselveg in initiating and
supporting movements designed to
provide community service, such as
recreational centers, public librar
ies, and similar undertakings.” ‘

(Associated Prescs Staif Writer)
WASHINGTON — (#) — Lin
coln’s birthday brought much poli
tical cannonading as President Roo
sevelt and the great emancipator
were compared by the New Deal's
friends and contrasted by its foes.
By Secretary Ickes Mr, Roosevelt
was described as “the man who
bravely tilts his lance againat
special privilege and entrenched
greed.”
To Senator Hastings, Republican,
Delaware, the president appeardd
as “this profligate son” who “rush

The skirmishes within the Re

news from Illinois that Senator
Borah would compete in the pri
