sociation at a banquet in Atlanta re¬
cently.
OONGRESS completed action on the
communications bill and It was
handed to the President for his signa¬
ture. This new law puts an end to the
federal radio commission and creates
a new board of seven members known
as the federal communications com¬
mission that not only takes over the
duties of the radio board but also all
control that has been exercised by the
Interstate commerce commission over
telegraphic and telephonic communi¬
cations.
As set forth In the law, Its enact¬
ment Is for the purpose of regulating
interstate and foreign commerce in
communication by wire and radio to
make available, so far as possible, to
all the people of the United States a
rapid, efficient, nation-wide and world¬
wide wire and radio communication
service with adequate facilities, at
reasonable charges, for the purpose of
national defense and for the purpose
of securing a more effective execution
of this policy by centralizing authority
heretofore granted by law to several
agencies; and by granting additional
authority with respect to interstate
and foreign commerce in wire and
radio communication.
A significant new provision which the
bill carries into law is the assertion
of full control over all wire and radio
communications by the government in
case of war or “public peril.” Under
this section the President has author¬
ity to take over all wire and radio
offices and stations with just compen¬
sation to persons entitled thereto.
T ARGELY through the efforts of
Norman Davis, American ambas¬
sador at large, the European states¬
men at Geneva were persuaded to
Premier
Mussolini
to Venice and that Premier Musso¬
lini should fly to that city to confer
with his fellow dictator, whom he had
never met. Later Louis Barthou,
French foreign minister, is expected
to go to Home for a talk with Mus¬
solini in which the misunderstandings
between their countries may be ironed
out.
Mussolini and Hitler were to discuss
European policies generally, and, spe¬
cifically, the German claims to full
armament and the Austrian question,
involving Nazi propaganda in the lat¬
ter countrv.
This Anglo-French compromise was
a diplomatic setback for Russia, but
the Soviet republic countered with the
announcement that it had been recog¬
nized by Czechoslovakia and Rumania.
Recognition by Jugoslavia was expect¬
ed to follow shortly. Maxim Litvinov’s
announcement was taken to mean that
the Russians intend to go ahead with
their policy of -encircling Germany.
The recognition was effected by an
exchange of letters between Litvinov
and Dr. Edward Benes, foreign min¬
ister of Czechoslovakia, and Nicholas
Titulescu, foreign minister of Ru¬
mania. After suggesting an early ex¬
change of ministers, which will as¬
sure that relations between their coun¬
tries “will always remain friendly and
correct,” each of these letters adds
the phrase, “our peoples will collabo¬
rate in the future to maintain the
peace of the world.”
German papers agree a new chapter
in relations between Soviet Russia and
the powers of southeastern Europe
has been opened. It is expected the
next step probably will be the conclu¬
sion of a commercial agreement be¬
tween the little entente and Moscow,
one of the purposes being to minimize
the effect of Soviet dumping of lum¬
ber and cereals in the entente nations.
Nonaggressions and mutual assistance
pacts are said to be in the back¬
ground.
A committee of the disarmament
conference had under consideration
the matter of guarantees for any con¬
vention which may be agreed upon;
but when the question was submitted
to the Japanese delegate he said his
government could not consent to guar¬
antees without reservations. There¬
upon the Russian delegate said the
Soviet government would not accept
any such agreement that was not
signed by Japan.
IT'VEN the Democrats in congress
are not boasting openly of their
success in passing the bill for a cen¬
sus of tiie unemployed, and many of
them voted against it or were absent
when it came up for final passage.
That it was designed mainly to give
jobs for the faithful at the expense
of the national treasury was clear, for
the census takers are not to get their
jobs until after the November con¬
gressional elections. Then they will
receive $2 a day for a long period, ob¬
taining answers to ah elaborate ques¬
tionnaire.
i-J p\ ROUTH-STRICKEN regions of the
Middle West were blessed with
soaking rains, and hope was held out
for forage crops and corn. The earlier
-crops, however, are ruined over most
of the area. Secretary Wallace, after
a trip through the “dry” states, de¬
scribed the drouth as a “tragedy” for
the farmers who are suffering from its
ravages, but a possible future “bless¬
ing for the country as a whole.”

Member of Faculty, |loo<Xy Biblo
I&stltuto of Chicago.)
<D. 1934, Western Newspaper Union,
Lesson for June 24
REVIEW
GOLDEN TEXT—And he shall reign
over the house of Jacob forever; and
of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke 1:33.
PRIMARY TOPIC — Carrying on
Jesus' Work
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Our Saviour
and Lord.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—What Shall I Do With Jesus?
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—The Comprehensive Program of
Jesus.
The method of review must always
be determined by the teacher in the
light of the grade of the school and
the aptitudes of the pupils. For senior
and adult classes the best method will
be to recall that all the lessons of the
quarter are from the Book of Mat¬
thew which has as its theme, “Jesus
Christ, the Messianic King, and His
Kingdom,” and then to present each
lesson in Its relation to the central pur¬
pose. The lessons have a threefold
unity, namely; one book, one theme,
one person.
Lesson for April 1:
The resurrection of Christ Is one of
the foundation truths of Christianity.
It is the grand proof that Christ was
what he claimed to be, the Messiah,
the Son of God. His resurrection
authenticated his claim. By it he was
declared, to be the Son of God with
power.
Lesson for April 8;
The greatest in the kingdom are the
childlike. Entrance Into the kingdom
is infinitely more important than rank
therein. There is no way into the king¬
dom except through the new birth
(John 3:3-5).
Lesson for April 15;
In this lesson we have divine In¬
struction as to behavior in case of 111
treatment. Those who are Christlike
shall suffer persecution. Those who
have entered the kingdom by birth
from above will have a forgiving
spirit.
Lesson for April 22:
Riches are deceitful. Possessors there¬
of are prone to put tbelr trust In them.
It Is most difficult for those who are
rich to give place to spiritual things.
Lesson for May 6:
To the nation which rejected Jesus
as king, he officially presented himself
at the appointed time In the counsel
of God In the fulfillment of prophecy.
Lesson for May 13:
The parable of the king’s marriage
feast stresses the necessity of a-right
relationship with God In order that
there be a life of temperance and good
citizenship. Our first obligation Is
unto God.
Lesson for May 20:
In the Olivet discourse Jesus out
lines the events to take place In the
world in the Interval between his cru¬
cifixion and his second coming. The
parable of the ten virgins shows the
right behavior of believers In this
present age In view of the coming of
the Lord.
Lesson for May 27:
There is a coming judgment for the
living nations on the earth. The Is¬
sue of that judgment Is determined by
the attitude of the nation toward
Christ the King. Their destiny will
either be inheritance of the kingdom
or eternal fire.
Lesson for June 3:
The cross Is the touchstone of hu¬
man life. The behavior of Mary, Ju¬
das, Peter, and others gives us a
cross-sectional view of the world.
Lesson for June 10:
The climax of the quarter's lessons
Is reached in the lesson today. The
supreme value of the quarter’s lesson
centers In the cross. Jesus did not
die as a martyr or as an example, but
to make an atonement for sin. Teach¬
ers, it is not a matter of getting your
children to learn the lessons of a great
teacher but to Induce them to hava
faith In Christ's sacrificial work.
Lesson for June 1-7:
The resurrection of Jesus Christ
demonstrated his Messiahship and
Deity. The command to preach the
gospel In all the world is backed by
his resurrection power.
The Word of God
In the Word of God may be found
every variety of theme that can well
be imagined, from the story of creation
to the forecast of the new creation.
Here is endless diversity—fragments
of national history, and of Individual
biography, poems and speeches, prov¬
erbs and predictions, parables and eth¬
ical teachings, legal enactments, ro¬
mances of love, and awful tragedies of
judgment, plain precepts for right liv¬
ing, and spectacular dramatic scenes
gorgeously painted In oriental lmagl
nery; miracles and mysteries, the prat¬
tle of a child side by side with the pro
foundest discourses of philosophers
and sages.—Dr. A. T. Pierson.
Greatest Inspiration
Let us earnestly and solemnly sur¬
render ourselves afresh to the Lord
Jesus Christ for service. We cannot
afford to let the world find in gain or
in pleasure a greater inspiration than
we can find in our religion.
Knew What He Was Doing
The infinite God know what he was
doing when he gave to his sinning, suf¬
fering children a Gospel that covers
the heart and renovates the whole
man through the incoming of Christ
Jesus Into the man.
JOHNSON DENOUNCED
IN DARR0W REPORT
Removal of Administrator
Is Suggested.
Washington.—Gen. Hugh S. Johnson,
the fire-eating head of the NUA, has
given the recovery program an un
American and dictatorial tinge which
handicaps Its fight against depression,
the national recovery review board
headed by Clarence Darrow, told Pres¬
ident Roosevelt
Hinting broadly that President
Roosevelt’s plans would forge ahead
more rapidly if the general were
thrown overboard, the Darrow board,
in its second report to the Chief Exec¬
utive, denounced Johnson’s autocratic
actions and again insisted that many
codes are smothering small Indus¬
tries and gouging consumers.
Beside suggesting the removal of
Johnson, the Darrow board demanded
outright that two other officials of
the NRA be fired for misconduct. One
is an assistant deputy administrator
and the other is an employee of the
lumber code authority, but the report
suppressed both their names.
Epithet after epithet was heaped up
on Johnson by Darrow and his col¬
leagues for the way in which the NRA
has arbitrarily decreed life and death
for industries. Besides charging that
Johnson’s high-handed tactics smack
of an “irresponsible dictatorship” the
board declared that they are worth¬
less to the cause of recovery.
“The rule of the military comman¬
der is totally unsuited to the genius,
habits, traditions, or psychology of the
American people, and wholly ineffec¬
tual in meeting the present national
crisis,” the board concluded bitterly.
This denunciation climaxed a long
series of disclosures by the Darrow
board of how Johnson had written ar¬
bitrary modifications into codes.
Many of these changes, Darrow
charged, had later helped large indus¬
tries to oppress their small competi¬
tors.
Johnson admitted writing changes
into the retail dry goods code, as
charged by the Darrow board, but de¬
clared that the President has the right
and power to make any change in any
code which he deems necessary. This
.practice, as used by Johnson on behalf
of the President, the Darrow board
condemned unsparingly.
Three Thousand Perish in
Central America Storm
San Salvador, El Salvador.—A death
toll in excess of 2,000 was reported
by relief workers after an airplane
survey of the sections suffering most
severely from hurricane. Reports from
Honduras indicated that 1,000 had per¬
ished there.
Whole Salvadorean towns were
wiped out by landslides after the
heavy rains, L. C. Calloway, Pan
American Airways airport manager,
reported after accompanying Salva¬
dorean air corps flyers in a survey.
The government planes found that
villages on the coast from La Libertad
to La Union apparently were hardest
hit, all of them being virtually de¬
stroyed.
Murder and Suicide
Cause Shock Death
Milwaukee, Wls.—Three deaths, re¬
sulting from murder, suicide and
shock, were reported after an investi¬
gation at a west side rooming house.
When the police went to the place
in response to a call they found
Michael Murdzia, -the proprietor, had
hanged himself after choking his wife.
Hazel, to death as she lay sleeping.
The third death came when Horace
Olin, unemployed uncle of Mrs. Murd¬
zia, collapsed and died of heart dis¬
ease, aggravated by the shock of find¬
ing Murdzia’s body.
Man Without Stomach
41 Years Reaches 102
Springfield, III.—Ferdinand Wag¬
goner celebrated his 102nd birthday
anniversary and the forty-first year
he has had his present stomach.
Silver tubes replaced Waggoner’s
original stomach In 1S93 after he ac¬
cidentally was shot. The wrinkled lit¬
tle man said the “new” organ doesn’t
work “so awful well” any more, but
be expects to live another seven or
eight years anyway.
“I’ve lived so long ’cause I don’t
worry,” Waggoner said.
Firestone’s Butler Is
Held for Manslaughter
Akron, Ohio.—James Livingston,
butler employed by Harvey S. Fire¬
stone, rubber manufacturer, was
charg’d with manslaughter after, the
police said, his automobile rammed an
overturned sedan, fatally injuring
Miss Elizabeth Neidert of Akron as
she and three other persons were ex¬
tricating themselves from the wreck¬
age.
Madman Wound* Ten

Smi
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
A very dilapidated old man pre¬
sented himself at a hospital for dogs
and cats and asked the porter to take
him In.
“You can’t come In here,” said
the porter brusquely.
“Oh, yes, I can,” said the old fel¬
low, “I’m an old soldier.”
"But that don’t make any differ¬
ence,” said the porter, “this Is a
veterinary hospital.”
“That’s right,” said the old soldier
serenely, “I’m a veteran.”
Foxy Idea
“Why do you prefer players who
have happy homes?” the manager
of the baseball team was asked.
“Because," he replied, "the big
thing in baseball Is getting home, and
if a fellow thinks a lot of home he’ll
be more anxious to get there than
one who doesn’t.”
Curiosity
Warsaw—A young man was arrest¬
ed because he was lying across rail¬
way lines near Warsaw.
“Suicide?” he said, when ques¬
tioned by the police. “Certainly notl
I was just trying to find out how
quickly a train could draw up.”

“What is your gross income?”
“I have no gross income.”
“No income at all?”

WE KNOW THEM, TOO
Smart was looking rather puzzled,
“Tell me, old fellow," be said to
a friend, “have you ever heard of
such a thing as cold embe.rs?”
The friend shook his head vigor¬
ously.
“Never," he replied. "There can’t
be such a thing.”
Smart smiled artfully.
“Ob, yes, there is,” he replied.
“November and December—they’re
cold enough, aren’t they?”
