Swedish Methodists,
crease production of con-
sumer goods so that supply
will be enough to meet de-
mand, and competition again
will keep prices down, so
that increasing productivity
«dll create the income to pay
fU$her wage increases.”
Anything I might say about
that doctrine would be sim-
ply gilding the lily. It is the
plain truth and a credit to
anyjmftsophy.
Cut Restraints
At the present, conditions
are far from wholesome.
The government’s new arti-
ficial wage controls, bom of
for better living, it turn-
planned; better liv
r and tools, by ne-
But when cap-
had to swing into

and instruments of de-
better living ceas-
increased, to be
profits. But
be buy?
Once more let the AFL
r vey answer: “Every
m nickle of wage gain
offset by a price rise
:h cancelled it and work-
actual buying power per
of work, as measured
real wage rates, did not
Llpfe at all.” These state-
ments are supported by gov-
ernment figures made avail-
able through the department
of labor. Moreover the AFL
analyst’s logic is perfectly
sound.
Holding Prices Down
The labor bulletin contain-
ed no carping against, gov-

tificial restraints it set up
to keep a fictitious economy
from getting out of control.
Oh the other hand it says
plainly that under whole-
some business conditions
“wage increases are paid for
by rising productivity.’’ Thus
with mass nroducion and
J; fijume sales “the wage rises
are all clear gain.”
"Our first task is to in-
-.................
political expedience, creates
hii
igher wages with one hand
and snatches them away
with the other in the form
of higher prices. In a gov-
ernment-fouled economy, it
is small wonder that farm-
ers and business men alike
line up at the ,door of Uncle
Sam’s “fix-it” department.
The Office of Price Ad-
ministration is getting as
much criticism as it deserves
now perhaps. My comments
ftre brief; Private enterprise
needs freedom if it is to op-
erate by the law of supply
and demand, and in some
fields supply will meet de-
mand much sooner if regula-
tions are lifted. The OPA
has done some guou work
and well deserves a dignified
funeral, soon.

Under auspices of the In-
ternational Missionary Coun-
cil, American and European
churches having missions
and missionaries in the Cam-
eroons, the Belgian Congo,
Angola, and French Equa-
torial Africa will hold a con-
ference, planning for future
work, in Leopoldville, B. C.,
from July 13 to 24. This will
be the first of several re-
gional ; n Ui
conferences through which
it is hoped to greatly inten-
sify the work of Protestant
missions throughout Africa.

One of the many contribu-
tions to science and to hu-
man welfare made by reli-
gious objectors to military
service housed in Civilian
Public Service camps is re-
ported from Coleville, Calif.
During spare time, a group
of CO’s bfiilt their own ob-
servatory and climatologial
station; a lensmaker fi-
nished lens at cost, funds be-
ing supplied by families and
friends. Under the leader-
ship of a trained astronomer
who is also a CO, Albert j
Shatzel, the Coleville Obser-
vatory is providing its ob-
servations on the courses of
variable stars, sun spots,
earth tremors, and weather
conditions to the US Weath-
er Mureau, Mt. Wiiaon and
Harvard Observatories, and
to astronomical publications.

Appealing to the churches
of the United States for gen-
erous gifts of food and cloth-
ing for the direct and indi-
rect victims of war the world
over, the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in
America said: “It ip human
greed and human ignorance
which keep the larder bare
for hundreds of millions.
The fellowship of starvation
can but prepare the way for
anarchy and desolation more
terrible than war itself.
When countless homes are
blasted and destroyed, then
bitterness eats corrosively at
the protective walls of broth-
erhood. In the spiritual va-
cuum left by war fresh wars
of hate boil up to engulf new

Tcuuuuiiig of life aim hope
in Europe and Asia and Af-
rica calls not alone for ma-
terial gifts of food and
clothes and for the physical
reconstruction of church in-
stitutions. It awaits as well
such resurgence of the life
of the spirit as will cause
the churches to bring to bear
upon the problems and is-
sues of our time the pene-
trating insights of the Chris-
tian gospel.”

During the first three
months of 1946, the Metho-
dist church, through its com-
mittee on overseas relief,
gave cash gifts and supplies
of a total value of $511,909,
it is reported by the chair-
man, Bishop Herbert Welch.
The use of these gifts in-
cluded: the feeding of 15,000
children in Finland; sending
145 tons of flour to Greece;
printing of 95,000 Bibles and
250,000 New Testaments in
eight European languages;
shipping of 3,765 hah* of
clothing to China, 1000 pairs
of shoes to children in Hol-
land, 12 tons of powdered
milk to China, and three tons
m Ami and blankets to In-
land.
The father of two children,
he left the Senate to volun-
teer in World War II, served
overseas and now asks pro-
motion to the office of lieu-
tenant Governor, for which
he is qualified, based on
service and experience. Ad-

Some people su|»pose that,
because the war is over, |
there it no longer any need
to carry on the fight against
intolerance in our country.
But this tight must go on.
The enemies of democracy
and equal rights—purveyors
of hate — work harder nov
than they did during the
war.
For example, the New
York Times reported on Feb-
ruary 17 that a public opin-
ion poll showed that “13 per
cent of the persons polled
would be willing to join a
campaign against Jews; 11
per cent think negroes are a
menace to America and
would support a hate cam-
paign ; 7 per cent favor a per-
secution movement against
the Catholic church; from
Quebec, Canada, across the
United States to South
America, there is a range
from 7 per cent to 13 per
cent of persons who want to
stir up feeling against Pro- j
testants.”
Evidence is mounting that
a revival of K’J Klux Klan
activity is taking place in
many parts of the country.
It should be remembered
that the Klan is avowediy
against Catholics, Jews, and
negroes.
The New York Daily
Times reported on March 28
that the Georgia secretary
of state’s office had an-
nounced that the Ku Klux
Klan had registered offi-
cially as a “fraternal organ-
ization”, and on April 1, the

newed Klan activity in Cali-
fornia. Kay J. Schneider, a
former Kleagle, said that
there were more than 100 se-
cret Klan “clubs” operating.
The situation was serious
enough for Attorney Gen-
eral Kenny to have taken
steps to revoke the state
charter issued to the Klan in
1931. Fiery crosses have
been burned; Jewish homes
One lady said a few days ago

nalia and pamphlets advo-
cating racial and religious
intolerance.
Literature is being circu-
lated and activities stim-
ulated against Catholics.
Some of the literature is of
the most scurrilous kind.
Often, this literature links
Jews and some Protestants
with Catholics as the objects
of its attack.
This is but a very small
fraction of the whole story
of intolerance in the United
State toady. But—it is to-
day’s story. It is not ancient
history—or prewar history.
It is not the story of what
happened last year — or ten
years ago. It is the story of
what is happening today.
Now is the time to act . . .
