War To The Death In Europe
The first reports of what Herr Hitler said to
Welles have filtered in. And, if you take them as a fixed
declaration of German policy, they certainly do not seem
conducive to peace. Instead, they seem to make war to
the death inevitable.
According to reports, the Fuehrer insisted that
man political domination of Czechoslovakia, German
cupied Poland and Hungary be recognized—that the Al
lies keep their hands off Scandinavia and the Balkans—
that Germany’s pre-war colonies, bulk of which were
taken by England, be returned—that Britain lead the way
in disarmament by doing away with such fortifications as
Gibraltar—and that Britain’s “stranglehold” on the world
economic structure be broken. It is significant that Hitler
said little about France—it is an oft-repeated Nazi doc
trine that Germany has no quarrel with France, that the
two countries as now constituted can live forever in peace,
and that John Bull is the troublemaker.
naturally unthinkable that England , would , , make .
It is
these tremendous concessions, unless she were facing cer
tain defeat at arms. They are tantamount to
the British Empire, and leaving the Isles remote and
less.
However, that does not mean that all hope for
early peace is gone. For Hitler undoubtedly demanded a
great deal more than he could expect to receive. A good
bargainer often asks the impossible as a starting point,
and makes concessions from there. And certainly great
pressure will be brought on Hitler, as well as the Allies,
to consider ending the war. Italy is extremely eager that
hostilities stop—her own neutrality grows more difficult
to maintain daily. The smaller neutrals, especially Bel
gium, Holland, Scandinavia, Rumania and Greece, will do
everything in their power to promote peace. And it is felt
that even Russia, Hitler’s avowed “friend”, will sing a
similar tune. Russia is in no position to fight a major
and if matters go on as they are now, there is a strong pos
sibility that the Allies will declare war against her j n
order to open a new flank, and make fighting in the vul
nerable Baltic possible.
It is significant that the German reception of Mr.
Welles was cordial in the extreme—honors were
him that are usually reserved for the heads of States. J he
German government is apparently desirous of improving
German-American relations, and it was intimated that
Berlin would welcome an American ambassador.
The effect of the war abroad on American business
gradually becomes clearer. And, for the most part, it is
different t 1 ’ ’’ It' 1 n """ted when hostilities began last
September, Paul Mallon recently published a brief analy
sis ot tne siiuawou, iiuiiisning it with facts of considerable
interest.
First, war has upped our exports—but, curiously
enough, the rise in sales to beligerents has been less than
to neutrals. Total export rise is almost 30 per cent, but
increase in goods going to Britain has been only 10 per
cent. Norway’s demand for American supplies has shown
the startling rise of 144 per cent. Swedish buying is up
67 per cent, Dutch 47 per cent and Italian 41 per cent. No
one believes that these countries are using all of what they
buy for themselves. Logical explanation is that a large
part of the purchases is being transshipped to Germany,
which is unable to trade directly with us because of the
Allied blockade.
War buying here will undoubtedly increase as time
goes on, though no sudden jumps are anticipated. If com
mercial credits are given Finland and China through the
Import-Export Bank, tens of millions of dollars worth of
orders will flow into American industry. We aren’t exper
»,«/ k-m- but we «* making money out of
conflict. Unfortunately, it seems to be the verdict of his
tory that we or anyone else must pay thiough the nose foi
Such profits when the war ends and the exhausted par
ticipants must face the immense task of rebuilding shat
tered economies.
Helping King Cotton
What is probably the most aggressive campaign on
behalf of beleaguered King Cotton ever inaugurated, was
recently announced by Donald M. Nelson, President of the
Institute of Distribution, Inc.
A short time ago the Cotton Consumption Council
met in New Orleans to consider ways and means of stim
ulating cotton sales in this country. At the meeting were
representatives of growers, manufacturers, retail distrib
Utors, and government officials. Out of that meeting came
a 15-point cotton promotional program that will see cot
ton continuously pushed on a nation-wide basis in 1940.
High spot of the drive will be National Cotton Week, to be
observed from May 17 through May 25.
Spearhead of the campaign will be America’s organ
ized retail distributors, including both the chains and the
individual retailers. Every section of this country, from
Metropolis to cross-roads town, will be included in the
totton drive.
Some 12,000,000 Americans depend on King Cotton
for their livelihood—for the money that buys food and
clothes and homes and fuel %nd amusements and every
thing else. To quote Mr. Nelson, “When cotton wagons roll
and cotton gins hum, times in the United States are good.”
The cotton surplus has long been a problem in this coun
try. The key to improvement is stimulated consumption at
home.
More power to King Cotton—and the cotton sales
rami -ign Its success means much to every industry, every
locality, every wotker in this vast country of ours.

TRIUMPH THROUGH
SACRIFICE.
Lesson: Matthew 26:56-27:56.
Goden Text: He is despised and
rejected of men, a man of many
sorrows and acquainted with grief,
i sa iah 53:3.
From Pilate’s hall Jesus was led
away to the place of crucifixion.
He was made to carry his own
cross, but on the way an African
Jew was compelled to share the
burden. A company of women fol
lowed him, bewailing his fate, but
Jesus bade them weep for them
selves but not for him.
At last the procession reached
the place where the great tragedy
was enacted. Here we come to the
loftiest summit in the story of re
demption. Towards this point for
centuries the lines of prophecy
and providence converged, and
from it ever since have issued riv
* rs of blessing that are every
w h ® r * making the world rejoice
Wlt _
,ope
The name of the place was Gol
gotha in Hebrew, Calvary in Lat
in. It was outside the north wall
of the city on the Damascus road,
The name, meaning a skull, was
probably given to a small knoll of
rock in the shape of a skull and
it was a significant name for the
place of man’s redemption.
The soldiers that led Jesus to
the place of crucifixion promptly
despatched the business with
which they were familiar and ex
pert.
The soldiers in charge of
crucifixion received the garments
of Jesus as their perquisites
Wholly unconscious that they were
fulfilling ancient Jewish prophecy
(Ps. 22:18), they divided the outer
garments of Jesus into four parts,
one for each soldier (John 19:21);
and then, rattling their dice in
their brass helmets, they gambled
for the inner garment which was
woven without scam.
How little did these soldiers
realize the overshadowing signifi
cance of that death while
were busy getting a few shreds of
this world’s goods?

ice as tbe >' watched the fall of the

barga ; n ; ng and vvlth blasphemy,
but they had no words of sympa
thy and praise for the strange Suf
ferer.
Is it not even so with us today?
In all our cities and towns in the
very thick of their crowded streets
and marts, churches and cathe
drals lift their spires to heaven,
often crowned with a gilded cross.
Within sight of this symbol of
the crucified Christ men buy and
sell and speculate and gamble and
follow with the fiercest competi
tion the pursuit of this world’s
goods. But how seldom do they
lift their eyes to that symbol of
the cross and temper their bar
gaining and restrain their blas
P hem y with thoughts of that holy
Man?
How much of our living is but
noisy worldliness and selfishness
in the presence of Christ!
Let the shadow of that cross fall
upon our lives to quiet and re
strain us into holy praise and high
endeavor,
A furious mob raged like an an
gry sea around the cross and in
the midst of it all, what was he
doing? Praying. "Father,
them; for they know not
they do” (Luke 23:34): The
limest prayer in the Bible and
a11 the literature of the world.

crowns unwittingly placed on his
thorn-pierced brow.
“He saved others,’’ they jeering- j ]
ly exclaimed and doubtless
thought this a famous jest.
But no grander eulogy could be !
pronounced even upon the Son of
God. Unconsciously they placed;
on his brow his brightest crown, j
“He saved others”: this he did
whether they meant it in truth or
in mockery. Many that had been
healed of disease, many that had
been forgiven of sin, many that
had been comforted in sorrow,
could have testified that “he
saved others.” An increasing mul
titude down through the centuries,
the millions that have felt his heal
ing countless power redeemed today, and in all heaven the j I
stand ready to bear witness to this I
blessed truth.
But in a deeper sense the say
ing was true. Jesus could not save
himself at the expense of his de
votion to his Father and of his
love to a lost world.
No imagination could picture
the consequences if on that event
ful day Jesus had saved himself.
Saving self is the curse of this]
world; saving other it is redemp- j
tion. !
On the top of the cross over the
head of Jesus was a board whit
ened with chalk bearing in black I
letters the inscription, THIS IS
JESUS THE KING OF THE
JEWS. Pilate wrote this inscrip
tion as a deadly insult to the Jews,
and when they saw it they were
enraged and interceded with him
to change it. But the Roman gov
ernor, having recovered some ol j
his courage and probably with al
grim sense of the humor of the i
situation, “What met I them written, with the I refu- have j ]
sal, have
written” (John 19:22).
Pilate wrote better than he I
knew.
It was written in three langu- j
ages, the official Latin, the cur-I
rent Greek, and the vernacular
Aramic. Every one present could
understand one or another of these
languages,
The gosp el is for all men and i
already it has been translated in 1
whole or in part in over eight
hundred languages and dialects so

The Latin was representative of
the power in the ancient world,
the Greek of culture, and the Ara
mis 0 f the common people.
