Cruical Test
Peace for American People
Hangs on Nov. Elections;
Decision Is With Voters
Never before have the Ameri¬
can people been called upon to
make a more momentous decis¬
ion, one that will have a direct
bearing not only on their own
welfare and economic security
but a decision that will tell
whether their children’s children
will have o participate in anoth¬
er World War.
The truth of this is borne out
in a comprehensive survey made
by Nathan Robertson and pub¬
lished in a late issue of PM, daily
liberal newspaper.
A Republican victory in the
Presidential election, Mr. Robert¬
son disclosed in his survey, would
throw' control of Congress into
the hands of a set of Republican
committee chairmen whose rec¬
ords are almost uniformly iso¬
lationists and reactionary, with
such men as Fish, Taber, Vand-
enburg and Nye being among the
isolationists who would imperil
peace.
If there is a Republican sweep,
said Mr. Robertson, it would
make Rep. Joe Martin, of Massa¬
chusetts, Speaker of the House
and mean the selection of some¬
one like Rep. Charles Halleck,
of Indiana, as Republican lead¬
er.
Martin, reported Mr. Robert¬
son, is the man who led the
Republican side of the House m
its record of obstruction to ev¬
erything the Roosevelt Admini¬
stration has proposed to further
the w r ar program. Halleck, who
is a likely candidate for Republi¬
can leader, voted against OPA,
against FDR’s salary limitation
order, subsidies, for the inade¬
quate tax bill, for the Dies Com¬
mittee, and against the Federal
soldier’s vote bill.
The three most important
committee chairmanships in the
House, Robertson said, are Rules,
Ways and Means, and Appro¬
priations. These vital posts, und¬
er Republican leadership of the
House, would be held by three of
the most anti-liberal Congress¬
men in the House—Reps. Ham
Fish, of New York; Harold
Knutson, of Minnesota, and John
Taber, of New York.
Two other highly important
committees of the House are
Banking and Currency and Ju¬
diciary. They would be headed
by Rep. Jesse Wolcott, of Michi¬
gan, and Clarence E. Hancock,
of New York, who have records
resembling those of Fish, Taber
and Knutson, said Mr. Robert¬
son.
A Republican victory in Nov¬
ember might also give the Re¬
publicans control of the Senate.
Robertson said. Here the party
is led by three men, Sens. Ar¬
thur Vandenberg, of Michigan,
Robert A. Taft, of Ohio, and
Wallace White, of Maine, with
Vandenberg and Taft holding
the balance of power. Both Van¬
denberg and Taft, said Robert¬
son, were leading isolationists
and are still among the leaders
of the party who place the issue
of sovereignty above the issue
of working out a lasting peace,
that involved an international or
block any peace arrangement
that involved an internaional or¬
ganization with sufficient power
to enforce peace. White, the 3rd
Republican leader, has an in
and out record on international
questions, and a conservative
record on domestic issues.

In the Senate the most ir
F A°nnro-
Relations, Finance and Appro
priations. They would be head¬
ed by Hiram Johnson, of Cali¬
fornia; Vandenberg and Gerald
P. Nye, respectively.
Johnson, who would head the
vital Foreign Relaitons Com-
mittie and thus handle peace
treaties and international re¬
lations, said Mr. Robertson, was
one of those responsible for beat¬
ing the League of Nations after
the last war and could be count¬
ed upon to conduct himself in
the same way this time.
Next in seniority is Arthur Cap¬
per, of Kansas, another fervent
isolationist, and third is Sen.
M. LaFolett, of Wisconsin
whose thinking on foreign
.
affairs follows the Johnson-Cap-
per groove, said Robertson.
Warren Austin, of Vermont,
who has been a supporter of
FDR’s international policies but
a hard-shelled conservative on
domestic issues, would head the
Judiciary Committee, one of the
most powerful committees in
Congress on domestic legislation.
This picture of the men who
would rule Congress if the Re¬
publicans win in November, con¬
cluded Mr. Robertson, is expect¬
ed to be one of the most im¬
portant issues of the coming
campaign. mentioned

Georgia Primary Laws
Are Strongly Opposed
By Gov. Ellis Arnall
Governor Ellis Arnall has tak¬
en ^ a ^ firm ^ ^ stand against Partes any ef-
fort re ? ulate P art V
in the new state constitution,,
now being drawn
The commission redrafting the
constitution, of which Governor
Arnall is chairman, recently
struck out of the constitution
a provision requiring that all
participants in party primaries
be qualified voters, as well as
all other references to state pri¬
maries on the theory that the
regulation of party primaries
should be left to the political
parties themselves.
Real purpose of the action was
to eliminate all laws on pri¬
maries so that there can be no
appeal of party rules and regu¬
lations to the U. S. Supreme
Court, such as happened in Tex¬
as not long ago.
Commenting on a move by the
Atlanta League of Women Voters
seeking to have the regulations
restored on the grounds that
political parties need this super¬
vision, Governor Arnall said:
“I will oppose vigorously any
effort to reinsert any refernce
to party primaries in the new'
constitution. I am against any
regulation of primaries in the
constitution or on the statute
books of the state. I think highly
of the League of Women Voters
and they have advance some fine
ideas in the past. However, I
disagree with them this time. We
both have that privilege.”
FELLOWSHIP
Do we have fellowship one
with another? And above all, do
we have fellowship with God?
Jesus wanted the fellowship of
men in his life’s work. He came
unto his own and his own re¬
ceived him not. Imagine how he
felt at heart! We are told he
walked by the sea of Galilee;
there he found and called four
men to follow him; they were
fishermen. Jesus called them to
be fishers of men. Notice Jesus
did not, as we are prone to do
in this day, seek out men of
high standing; brilliant, talented
men—he sought the humble,
kind-hearted, obedient men. It
is our choices and not our
chance that mairks our lives.
Christians often repel, a sinner
by their acts of righteous su¬
periority toward them. Jesus
came to seek and .to save that
which was lost—his mission was
to call sinners to repentence. He
is a wonderful Saviour to look
beyond our failures and coward¬
ice and build faith on the love
he finds. A sinner’s world is a
narrow world, full of disappoint¬
ment and unrest. What can a
Christian do to widen out his
world? Deeds are acid tests of a
Christian life. It matters not
how low a person has sunk in
sin, Jesus say “my grace is suffi¬
cient.” How many times have we
failed God and hindered through
failing to do his bidding?
A ship is a parable. A great
ship goes to sea; it carries four
kinds of passengers. First class,
second, third and fourth class,
is the crew. On the journey a
torpedo finds it way to the ship.
What happens? Class distinction
no longer exists, for their only
hope is the life boats. So it is
with the sinner, moral man,
moderate sinner and the down-
and-out sinner. Who is their life
boat? Jesus is their only salva¬
tion and way of life. Jesus com¬
mitted certain duties and re¬
sponsibilities to his followers and
if we are true to his trust, we
will witness for him in act and
deed. There is never a time to
let down. This is an overworked,
tired world in need of prayer.
Christians need to bow down in
intercession to God for his cause.
When w r e have fellowship with
God we love our fellowman in¬
stead of hating him; w'e love the
seemingly unlovely and sinful
people. Love reaches out to a
lost world; for God is love and
in him only do we find love that
has no special race or creed. God
is no respector of person. God
gives us grace to love our ene¬
mies and do good to them that
despitefully use you. Dear God,
w r e ask for thy grace day by day
to meet the trials of life.
—Mrs. Will Bradford.

For many months I have been continuously
engaged in Washington on business of high im¬
portance to the people of Georgia. In this day of
great moment in the history of our country I
have felt that you would expect me to remain at
my post of duty to look after your interests here.
I am not unmindful of the opportunity you have
given me to serve you in the Senate of theJ^uit-
ed States for a number of years. Your faith and
confidence have strengthened me in every effort
to meet the responsibilities entrusted to me to
the very best of my ability. I will appreciate the
continued support of the people of Georgia.
The shadow of sorrow has fallen across many
of our homes and when this conflict in which we
are now spend so desperately engaged has ended, we
must our strength—as God gives us
to P rev ent the recurrence of war.
My deep concern for the happiness and wel¬
fare of the people of Georgia can end only with
my life.
Faithfully yours,
