‘TRANSFER’ OF U. S. NAVY
The President says that any sug-
I gestion that, under the “lease-lend”
bill he might transfer part of our
navy to another nation is a “cow
jumped-over-the-moon’ ’ idea—mean
ing, we may suppose, Mother Goose
nonsense or a palpable impossibility.
“Hi-diddle-diddle, the cat and the
fiddle, the cow jumped over the
moon.” He also says that he never
even considered using the navy to
convoy American shipments to Brit
ain.
A great deal of confusion is creep
ing into this debate. There is noth
ing in the “lease-lend” bill about
convoying ships. Providing they are
not violating the neutrality act and
the President’s own proclamations
thereunder, by entering proclaimed
war zones, or otherwise, American
ships can still sail the sea. If there
is danger of illegal interference
with them by another nation while
they are in pursuit of their lawful
business, the President doesn’t need
any additional authority to protect
them with naval convoys. There
fore the convoy argument is not
properly in the debate on the “lease
lend” bill.
But this "cow-over-the-moon”
business is something else again.
There is no authentic record of any
cow jumping over any moon, but
there is a very recent and rather
startling record of a President trans
ferring a very substantial part of
our navy, to wit, 50 destroyers, to a
belligerent nation. It was done with
out any specific authority. There
is also a considerable record of did
dling public opinion just before elec
tion or during the debate on hotly
contested legislation by promises
that were quickly forgotten—for ex
ample, the 1932 promise not to vio
late the gold covenants in our bonds
and money. That was the highest
diddle-diddle in all our economic his
tory. But there was no remedy.
All that happened was that “the
little dog laughed to see such sport
and the dish ran away with the
spoon.”
If there is no intention to trans
fer any part of our sorely needed
armament, why is it necessary to
grant unlimited authority to do so?
With a little paraphrasing aad trans
position, which does no violence to
its intent, the 1776 bill authorizes
the President “to sell, transfer,
lease, lend or otherwise dispose of
, . . any weapon, munition, air
craft, vessel or boat . . . any com
ponent material . . . any other com
modity or article for defense.”

WAR POWERS
There is a lot of argument in fa
vor of the “lease-lend” war dictator
ship bill based by the so-called con
stitutional “war - powers” of the
President.
Abraham Lincoln, as President,
without any previous congressional
delegation at all, and under the war
powers of the President, simply set
aside all the constitutional guaran
tees and compromises that made
this union possible and emancipated
the slaves.
This is dangerous doctrine. If
there is, in our form of government,
any hidden power in the President
in his own discretion, without any
actual war, simply to set the Con
stitution aside, and do as he pleases
with the peace, prosperity, property
and destiny of the United States, we
are in a fix.
What are the “war powers” of
the President under our Constitu
tion? In actual war and in the area
of combat on enemy territory they
are, and they must be—as the pow
ers of a commanding general in
such territory—completely dictatori
al and practically supreme. But
that kind of dictatorship does not
flow from his office as the President
of the United States. It flows from
his specific constitutional office as
commander-in-chief of our army
and navy.
It was under this military power
and under no civil office that Presi
dent Lincoln emancipated the
slaves. He did so only as an act of
war, only in enemy territory in ac
tual rebellion and his act was later
confirmed by congress.
He did so, and said that he did
so, not in his capacity as President
but in the execution of his office
of commander-in-chief. This is par
ticularly emphasized by the fact that
when, under such fierce factional
dogmatic urging as is now lashing
Mr. Roosevelt, to force this great
powerful, peaceful country into war,
Lincoln attempted to Hitlerize the
divil processes of the United States
Constitution and send to concentra
tion camps, or by a star chamber
process, whoever opposed his war
policies, authority to do so was de
nied by the Supreme court.
There is no doubt that the “war
powers” of congress are almost un
limited. They are like the law of
self-defense in homicide cases. They
go to almost any extent necessary
to national safety and are meas
ured only by the degree of danger
and the express prohibitions of the
Constitution.
We are facing a very dangerous
question. Because wars are fre
quently not “declared” in this mad
modern world, does that mean that
the Constitution can be set aside and
that the government can convert it
self into a dictatorship? I

VEGETABLES SERVED STREAMLINED FASHION
(See Recipes Below.)
NEW WAYS WITH VEGETABLES
The time may come when we will
get all our vitamins in little pellets,
j but I doubt it—
( not when eating
vegetables is as
*>a m uch fun as it is.
There would be a
f * | big gap in our
k jjjuP meals if such
things as tender
I little green beans
or whole carrots
' rolled in butter,
disappeared from the dinner table.
Success in cooking vegetables de
pends on such small things—the
amount of water in the pan, whether
the cover is on or off, whether the
vegetables are removed from the
heat when they are just tender or
allowed to continue cooking until
they become slightly mushy.
Remember, it’s “covers off,” for
all green-colored vegetables. Then
the acids which are given off during
cooking are not held in the pan
I where they turn the brilliant green
I color to a dull olive. To keep the
vitamins in the vegetables instead
of losing them in the cooking water
use just as little liquid as possible.
For mild-flavored vegetables an
inch of water in the bottom of the
pan to keep the pieces from burn
ing is ample. Vegetables like spin
ach, which contain a great deal of
water, should be cooked in the mois
ture which clings to the leaves after
washing.
And if you value your vitamins,
never, never discard the liquid from
canned vegetables. Place it in a
saucepan, heat until the liquor evap
orates to about one-half, then add
the vegetable and heat to serving
temperature.

THE CHRISTIAN’S ATTITUDE
TOWARD POSSESSIONS
LESSON TEXT—Luke 16:10-15, 19-23.
GOLDEN TEXT—Yo cannot serve God
and mammon.—Luke 16:13.
“In the service’’ is an expression
much used today. Every communi
ty has young men in the service of
their country. But they are not the
only “service men,” for the fact is
that every man and woman serves
under some authority. Our lesson
today reminds us that our attitude
toward our possessions determines
both character and destiny. We de
cide whether they shall rule us or
we shall rule them.
I. Who Is Your Master—God or
Gold? You Decide! (vv. 10-15).
The decision here is of the “either
—or” variety. “Ye cannot serve
God and mammon” (which means
“riches”).
Money itself is neither good nor
bad. It is the use to which it is
put that determines whether it is to
bless or to destroy. Rightly gained
and rightly used, money is an honor
to the man who has it, and will,
through him, become a means of
blessing. On the other hand, money
which controls a man will blast his
own soul and those of others round
him.
Who decides which it shall he?
You—and you alone. Here we come
to the central truth of the matter.
“He that is faithful in that which is
least is faithful also in much” (v.
10). We generally read that as
though it said, “He that is now faith
ful in a little will later have an op
portunity to be faithful in much.”
That may be true, but what Jesus
said here was that he “is faithful
in much.”
The point is that the man who is
faithful in the much shows that life
attitude by being faithful in the lit
tle. That is, only the man who is
right in the great matter of his re
lationship with God will be the ruler
over his possessions for the glory of
God and the good of his fellow man.
Someone may say, “I don’t be
lieve that.” Well, you are in bad
company (see vv. 14, 15). The Phar
isees, who loved money, who were
self-righteous, and whose attitude
was an abomination in the sight of
God, derided the words of Jesus. %
If you don’t like that kind of com
panions, I invite you to come over
on God’s side.
11. Where Will You Spend Eter
nity? Your Life Decides (vv. 19-23).
Our life beyond the grave is de
termined by our life on this side of
death. Yes, we know that eternal
life is a gift of God received by
faith in Christ as Saviour, quite
apart from our own works or our
merit. But let us not forget that
this means far more than uttering
a few words of profession or going
through a formula.
The man who really turns to
Christ in saving faith becomes a
new creature; he is born again (I
Pet. 1:23). That means that he
walks “in newness of life” (Rom.
6:4). And thus his life in this world
determines both by decision for
Christ and daily living for Him that
he will, like Lazarus, be received
into eternal blessedness.
Sad to say, the opposite is also
true. Living as the rich man did,
for self, will bring judgment in the
world to come. There is no indica
tion that he was especially v/icked,
but only that he loved his money,
revelled in the flamboyant display
of his wealth (v. 19), and had no
thought for others (v. 21). Here
again, the point is that thezf out
ward deeds were the expression of
a heart attitude against God.
Death came to both of these men.
It will come to all of us, unless the
Lord returns to take us to Himself.
It is not a pleasant matter to think
of death, but only the unintelligent
will fail to recognize the coming
of that day. When it comes, it may
be too late to make any real life
decisions. Now is the acceptable
time. Today is the day of salvation.
The verses immediately following
our lesson in chapter 16 indicate
that the decision of men concerning
their relationship to God is not de
pendent on the miraculous, but on
moral and spiritual truth. The man
who says he would believe if he
could only see God perform a mira
cle is only evading the issue. Verse
31 says that the man who rejects
God’s Word does so because he
wants to, not because he needs to
be convinced by a miracle.
We Sleep to Wake
One who never turned his back, but
marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break;
Never dreamed, though right were
worsted, wrong would tri
umph;
Held we fall to rise, are baffled to
fight better.
Sleep to wake.
—Robert Browning.
