Page Four America Faces 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 Pictures of the men in this article were published in PM under the head, “The Men Who Will Wreck the Peace If the GOP Wins.” Revival Meeting to Begin At Baptist Church Here Sunday, July 16th A revival meeting, beginning July 16 and continuing through July 30, will be held at the Bap¬ tist Church here, it has been an¬ nounced by the pastor, Rev.

The Times, $1.50! 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.
