President Hoover Declares Himself for Change in Prohi¬
bition Amendment—Roosevelt Hears Mayor Walker’s
Defense—Secretary Stimson Angers Japan.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
PRESIDENT ■U campaign for HOOVER his re-election opened with the
his acceptance speech, and told the
nation that, in regard to the liquor
{I v, g Lg: If; _‘
w .
President
Hoover
he could not consent either to restora¬
tion of the saloon or to the continu¬
ance of such grave abuses as the
speakeasy and the bootlegger which
flourish under the amendment. There¬
fore, he proposed such modification
of the prohibition amendment as
would return liquor control to the
states under federal control that
would guarantee the dry states federal
aid in keeping out liquor and prevent
the restoration of the saloon in the
wet states.
In substance the position taken by
Mr. Hoover on this prohibition prob¬
lem is very close to that of Alfred E.
Smith in 1928. It was warmly in¬
dorsed by the Republican senators
who consented to talk about it, even
hy such veteran drys as Fess and
Borah. The Republican press gen¬
erally commended it, and Democratic
newspapers praised the President for
“bravery greater than that of his
party platform."
The President’s address of course
covered practically all the subjects
that appear in the Republican plat¬
form and was written with skill. In
it he reiterated his stand for free¬
dom in industry and commerce as op¬
posed to radical and revolutionary
proposals, for a protective tariff, for
noncancellation of foreign debts, and
pledged himself to work for restora¬
tion of prosperity.
The notification ceremony took
place in Constitution hall and the
speech was heard by 4,000 persons
gathered there and by countless mil¬
lions who listened in by radio. The
affair was preceded by a garden par¬
ty and buffet luncheon on the White
House grounds, to which 700 men and
women had been invited. Former
President Calvin Coolidge was not
there because, as he said, he feared
the trip would aggravate the hay
fever from which he was suffering.
ivl A t AYOR JAMES WALKER of New
York, appearing before Gover¬
nor Roosevelt in the latter's office in
Albany, made an impassioned plea
for the right to face and question the
witnesses who have accused him and
whose testimony before the Seabury
committee resulted in the demand that
the governor remove him from office.
Mr. Roosevelt ruled that the mayor
might present any witnesses or evid¬
ence that would contribute to the gov¬
ernor's examination of the case. He
did not require the proof of Mr.
Walker’s guilt to be shown by wit¬
nesses. but he did go at once into a
cross-examination of the mayor him¬
self.
Mayor Walker’s answers followed
closely his previous defense as given
in his formal answer to the Seabury
charges and in his testimony before
the legislative committee. He admit¬
ted taking the S2e,000 gift from .1. A.
Kisto, banker interested in taxicab leg¬
islation, but denied he had given of
his influence as mayor to obtain the
legislation.
Answering the charge that he owned
securities in a company doing business
with the city, in violation of a state
law, Walker asserted he knew noth¬
ing about its connection with city
contracts.
In succeeding sessions of the hearing
he continued along the same line,
denying all charges of misconduct and
defending the acts on which those
charges were based.
t APAi>, continually on the defensive
J concerning her course in Manchuria
and extremely sensitive to criticism,
or has been
aroused to great offi¬
cial indignation by
Secretary of State
Henry L. Stimson. In
an address before the
council on foreign re¬
lations in New York
the cabinet officer as¬
serted that consulta¬
tion among signatory
nations to mobilize
“moral disapproval”
of acts of aggression
is implicit in the Bri
and-KeUogg treaty
outlawing war and that a definite pact
providing for such consultation is un¬
necessary. As an example, the secre¬
tary of state referred to the American
protest to Japan against hostilities in
China. Such a protest would have
bad far less weight, he pointed out,
had it not been supported by “the en¬
tire group of civilized nations.”
question, he stood
not exactly on the
Republican platform
but a considerable
step ahead of it. He
said the administra¬
tion’s efforts to en¬
force national prohi¬
bition had been of no
avail because the
Eighteenth amend¬
ment itself was a fail¬
ure except in states
where the majority
sentiment was actual¬
ly dry. He declared
Sec*y Stimson
Later in his address Mr. Stimsot
said:
“As it stands, the only limitation to
the broad covenant against war is the
right of self-defense. This right Is so
inherent and universal that it was
deemed unnecessary even to insert it
expressly in the treaty. It exists in
the case of the individual under do¬
mestic law, as well as in the case of
the nation and its citizens under the
law of nations. Its limits have been
clearly defined by countless precedents.
"A nation which sought to mask im¬
perialistic policy under the guise of
the defense of its nationals would soon
be unmasked. It could not long hope
to confuse or mislead public opinion
on a subject so well understood or in
a world in which facts can be so easily
ascertained and appraised as they can
be under the journalistic conditions of
today.”
The Japanese foreign office took Mr.
Stimson’s remarks as an attack on Ja¬
pan’s acts in Manchuria and cabled
the embassy in Washington for a de¬
tailed report of the speech. It was
believed that formal protest might be
made to the United States government.
D OY D. CHAPIN, the Detroit auto
mobile manufacturer, was sworn

ceed Robert P. Lamont, who resigned
R. D. Chapin
bold as to venture prediction now,
but one thing is certain—we must all
exert ourselves to the utmost striving
to strengthen ail favorable factors
and to make the inevitable turn come
as soon and with as much security as
possible.”
Secretary Chapin is already encour¬
aging the railroads to go ahead with
repair and replacement work and find¬
ing money to help them do it; and in
co-operation with Secretary of Labor
Doak he is working on the plans for
spreading employment by decreasing
the individual hours of work.
nOR about twenty-four hours there
r was a spectacular attempt at revo¬
lution in Spain by the monarchists
who hoped to restore the Bourbons to
the throne. The movement was led by
Gen. Jose Sanjurjo, known as “the
lion of Morocco,” and for a time he
and his helpers were in control of
Seville. But the republican govern¬
ment, was apprised of his plans in ad¬
vance and the revolt was speedily
squelched mainly by the police. San¬
jurjo himself was arrested as he fled
from Seville and was taken to Madrid
for trial by court martial, and various
others of the former king’s military
commanders also were apprehended.
In Madrid there was little fighting when
revolutionists sought to occupy govern¬
ment buildings.
The whole affair was a mixture of
comedy and tragedy and the net re¬
sult was the burning of many royalists
clubs, homes and residences by the re-,
publicans in several cities, and the
prospect of death - at the hands of
firing squads for the royalist leaders.
p EWARD for his uniformly suc
iw cessful prosecutions of gangsters
and politicians for evasion of the fed¬
eral income tax has come to George
E. Q. Johnson, United
States attorney in
Chicago. He has been
appointed to the fed¬
eral District bench by
President Hoover, and
probably will be con¬
firmed by the senate
in December with lit¬
tle opposition. As suc¬
cessor to Mi. John¬
son, the President

to become president
of the American Iron
and Steel institute. As
he took office Mr.
Chapin gave expres¬
sion to his optimism,
saying: “Naturally,
like every other Amer¬
ican, I am gratified by
the unmistakably bet¬
ter tone that now pre¬
vails in our industries

pHANCELLOR his cabinet acted VON to PAPEN stop terror¬ and
ism among the political factions of
Germany by decreeing the death pen¬
alty for all persons convicted of acts
of political violence, including rioting,
treason, arson, instigation of explo¬
sions or floods or damaging railways
or railway equipment. Despite this
rigorous action, the acts of violence
did not cease. Adolf Hitler issued a
proclamation to his storm troops to
curb their disorderly enthusiasm.
Von Papen invited both Hitler’s Na¬
tional Socialists and Hugenberg’s Na¬
tionalists to share in the government
which he will submit to the reichstag
when it convenes August 30. But the
monocled chancellor is determined to
keep the office of chancellor and to
maintain the government on the “no
party” basis. The Hitlerites continue
to claim full governmental control.

the 100 meters free-style race in the
new Olympic time of 1:6.S. She was
first in the fastest field of girl swim¬
mers ever assembled, and every one
of them beat the old Olympic record.
In other water events the flags of
Japan, Holland, Australia and other
hations were raised.
\yf UCH of the work of the British
Ivl imperial conference in Ottawa
was completed during the week and
che delegates thought they might be
able to leave by August 20. However,
the questions that most interest the
United States were still unsettled,
these being the trade relations be¬
tween Canada and Great Britain. The
dominion’s offer of preferences on
manufactured goods was rejected by
che British delegates as not good
mough. The Canadians thought their
offer ought to mean about $55,000,000
extra trade for Britain every ye*r, but
the British could not figure the gain
at more than $10,000,000 a year.
The British made satisfactory trade
arrangements with the Australians,
the New Zealanders and the South
Africans. Points on which the con¬
ference fails to agree will be referred
to a permanent committee.
A LL the neutral nations of Central
** and South America joined with
the United States In calling on Bo¬
livia to lay down her arms and accept
arbitration of the dis¬
pute with Paraguay
over the Gran Chaco.
They even set a def¬
inite time for such
submission, but Bo¬
livia’s reply was not
especially satisfactory.
President Daniel Sal¬
amanca's government
said it was willing to
suspend hostilities
pend Ing arbitration,
if Paraguay and the
neutral powers would
consent to the pres¬
ent positions in the Gran Chaco as the
basis for negotiations, instead of the
positions of the troops on June 1, as
stipulated by Paraguay. After June
15 Bolivian patrols captured three
Paraguayan outposts.
Pacifists in La Paz, Bolivia, who
opposed war with Paraguay, were
court-martialed and eight of them
were condemned and shot.
Adventurous citizens of the United
States have been offering their serv¬
ices to Paraguay and Bolivia, if war
materializes, through their legations
in Washington. One World war flyer
with the rank of captain telegraphed
both sides identical requests for serv¬
ice.
EX. CHIANG KAI-SHEK, it ap
'-J pears likely, will be the supreme
dictator of China. This results from
the controversy between Wang Ching
wei, premier, and Marshal Chang
Hsiao-liang, Peiping war lord. Chang
refused to obey Wang’s order to make
war on the Japanese forces that were
operating in Jehol province, and of¬
fered to resign. Soon after Wang and
his entire cabinet submitted their res¬
ignations, the last to step out being
Finance Minister T. V. Soong.
Chiang Kai-shek, unlike Wang, still
thinks the Sino-Japanese dispute can
be settled by direct negotiations and
therefore refuses to take any warlike
steps likely to antagonize Tokyo. Un

tion, Genera) Chiang as permanent
chairman of the military council is
untouchable and is in full control of

I. The Plan of the Tabernacle
(Exod. 25-27).
It was a rectangular structure thirty
cubits long, ten cubits wide and ten
cubits high. It was divided into two
rooms: the Holy Place, and the Holy
of Holies. These rooms were sepa¬
rated by the vail The tabernacle
was within a court one hundred cubits
long and fifty cubits wide. Within the
court, before the door of the taber¬
nacle, was situated the brazen altar;
between the altar of sacrifice and the
door was the laver; inside the Holy
Place the .candlestick and table of
shewbread; directly in front of the
vail the altar of incense which was
closely connected with the brazen al¬
tar in the contact of fire and blood.
In the Holy of Holies was found the
Ark of the Covenant, the most sacred
object of the entire tabernacle.
II. The Meaning of the Tabernacle
(Exod. 2S-30).
The tabernacle was the symbol of
God’s dwelling place. The bond of
union affording a medium of commu¬
nication was the priesthood. The
priest was the mediator between God
and the people. The tabernacle typi¬
fied the incarnation of God in Christ
(John 1:14). The furniture of the
tabernacle, beginning with the brazen
altar, symbolized the spiritual history
of the worshiper, making clear the
sinner’s method of approach unto God.
The position of the brazen altar at the
door of the tabernacle indicated that
no one could draw nigh unto God ex¬
cept by way of that altar. The ques¬
tion of sin must be settled before man
dares approach God. The laver typi¬
fies the sanctification of the believer.
Sanctification was effected by the
washing at the laver, prefiguring the
influences of God’s Word. The candle¬
stick with its central shaft and its ex¬
tending branches indicated the unity
and diversity of God’s people. The
candlestick also shows the purpose
of the sanctification of the heliever;
namely, to shine for God. The table
of shewbread was for a memorial
unto God of his chosen people, one
loaf for each tribe. The altar of in¬
cense symbolized communion with
God in worship. The putting of the
blood from the brazen altar on the
of incense shows that acceptable
prayer rests on the ground of the
work of Christ. The vail sym¬
the flesh of Christ. The rend¬
ing of the vail at the time of Christ's
crucifixion shows that the death of
gives access to God. The mercy
upon which the blood of the sin
offering was sprinkled indicates that
the claim of God's law had been satis¬
III. The Offerings for the Taber¬
(Exod. 35:20-29).
1. The motive of giving (v. 21. cf.
5). “Whosoever is of a willing
let him bring it. an offering of
Lord.” Giving which meets God’s
must spring from the heart
(II. Cor. 9:7). The offering must not
be made of a willing mind, but it
be as unto the Lord, an expres¬
of love and godly fear.
2. Who had part in giving (v. 22).
‘They came both men and women.” It
God’s purpose from the beginning
women should unite in the sup¬
and care of the worship of God.
3. What was to be given (vv. 23-2S).
features characterized the giv¬
measure and variety.
a. The measure. They brought what
had to bring. No one is under ob¬
to give that which he does
possess. This is emphasized in
expressions as “every man' with
whom was found,” “all the women
were wise hearted.” What one
to give is clearly the measure of
duty in giving.
b. Variety. They brought jewelry
(v. 22), gold (v. 22), fine linen (v. 23),
hair and rough skin (v. 23).
hearted women would spin with
hands (v. 25). The rulers brought
expensive things that were need

IV. The Workers Who Constructed
