ALL IS NOT COMMERCIAL Rev. Titus Lowe, a Methodist-Episcopal bishop, in an address in New York recently deplored, among other things, the fact that Babe Ruth drew more salary as a home run hitter than does the President of the United States as a statesman and that Mae West supposedly gets more salary every time she blinks an eyelid in the movies than many preachers received as a year's salary for exhorting. While not entering into the athletic ability of Babe Ruth or the histronic qualifications of Me West as an actress, which are open to debate, it is barely possible that Rev. Titus was taking too commercial a view of the situation. Babe and Mae are entertainers in a purely commercial way and have been paid and are being paid in ratio to their ability to attract customers to the ball park or the movie theater. So far as the President of the United States and the ministers of the gospel are concerned the situation is entirely different. A candidate for the Presidency seeks the office for the honor he may acquire and the service he may render to his countrymen. No salary which the American people could pay would remunerate a good President and nothing could settle the damage should we happen some time to have a bad one. The high office is one of honor and service. No attempt is made to pay the President in money what he is worth. The appropriations are made so that he may live in style befitting the office and, if he desires, perhaps save enough to maintain himself should he desire to retire. The minister of the gospel also enters his profession not for riches but for service. He cannot be paid for the number of souls he saves just as Babe Ruth is for the number of balls he knocks out of the park. He works for the good of humanity. His services are often priceless. Most of us will agree that the majority of salary which the American people could pay would remunerate a good President and nothing could settle the damage should we happen some time to have a bad one.

Most of us will agree that the majority of preachers are not paid as much as they should be. The churches have found it harder and harder to pay decent salaries since 1929. Perhaps, if the present campaign against private business continues the church funds will become even more limited in the future since their size depends on the prosperity of the community. Very likely in a socialist state which seems to be favored by some ministers there will be neither preachers' salaries nor churches. MONEY TO LEND BUT NOT TO PAY DEBTS The Franco-Russian compact under which each nation agrees to fly to the aid of the other in case of "attack" has little of practical interest to the United States. There is one alleged Franco-Red understanding, according to press reports however, which ought to provoke some comments in the United States. It is stated that under the agreement France agrees to lend to Russia the um of 3,500,000,000 francs, most of the outlay to be used by Red government in modernizing its railway system so this would be of greater use in case of war. When France or any other debtor European nation makes arrangements to lend money to another nation for industrial or military purposes, the matter is certainly one of interest to the United States. For it is to be remembered that the French owe us considerably on account as a result of what they borrowed from us when we were "saving their bacon" in the last war. For some time now France, along with other nations, has been a defaulter so far as these debts are concerned. We are told that France is poor and no longer able to pay. Yet along comes a chance to line up Russia for future military activity and suddenly we hear talk about lending the Russians, who still owe plenty of people themselves, the magnificent sum of three and a half billion francs. Certainly if the French can afford to lend Moscow any such sum they can afford to scrape together a little on account of what they owe the United States. The talk about poverty and inability to pay sounds like the strongest and coarsest sort of baloney. It is stated that the United States has the right to demand of the defaulting nations that they float bond issues in their own countries to pay these war debts owing to Uncle Sam. So far as most people know, such a demand has never been made but we have sat calmly around, watching the rest of world waste money on prospective future wars. Certainly it is about time to take some steps toward collecting these war debts if it is humanly possible. The Franco-Russian proposed three and a half billion franc deal ought at least to be an inspiration for Uncle Sam to try something." WASHINGTON SNAP-SHOTS A few months ago many of the Republicans were lending toward acceptance of ultra-liberalism. There is a noticeable drift now toward sticking to Americanism, making the changes in our economic system necessary to aid the common welfare, but away from regimentation and centralization of power in Washington. That may be the big issue of 1936, with the Republicans on the attack. In fact, they might adopt the Democratic platform of 1880 which declared "opposition to centralization, and to that dangerous spirit of encroachment which tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever form of government, a real despotism." Five weeks after the huge five billion dollar relief appropriation was pushed through Congress, with the Administration insisting upon speed, officials were still trying to find a setup that could adequately administer the money. When Congress hesitated in an effort to find out what all those dollars would be used for, the members were being told that all halting a surge of recovery was their delinquency. The delinquency is on the other foot now, with the Washington hotel keepers alone prospering. Literally hundreds of representatives of states and cities are sitting around hotels day after day waiting to get their slice of the pie when ever the red tape is cut. Unless all signs fail the next Presidential campaign is to be one of the most notable in many years. Six months ago not even a dyed-in-the-wool Republican would have bet against the re-election of President Roosevelt. Now, as one New Deal experiment after another has become shaky, the Republicans have been stirring about more. At the same time the Third Party talk continues, with the possibility that it might so affect the situation as to throw the election one way or the other. Reports from all over the country indicate that the people are no longer following the blind faith but are casting critical eyes both at the Roosevelt program and at offerings of Republican leaders. All of this has the makings of a sizzling election campaign which will find houses divided against themselves as during the Smith-Hoover race of 1928. The truth is that the jockeying for power within the Administration has been the really serious cause of delay. President Roosevelt personally sought to work out a setup which would give equal rank to Harry Hopkins, Secretary Ickes, and Frank Walker. But immediately the internal fight began to move one to the top of the heap. It is a safe guess that either one of these, or an outsider, will finally have to be elevated to take the petty jealousies out of the situation.

The American eagle in the old days used to be rather fond of screaming, but since the war its screams have had no belligerent note. The dominant feeling in the United States today is that she will be lucky, in the world as it is, if she can keep out of war, that war seems to be approaching in Europe and that is possible also in the Far East. The rank and file of the American population is inclined to say: "We are not liable to be attacked in our own country; is it not the right policy for us to have a navy which will keep Europe off North and South America and will enable us to maintain a defensive line in the Pacific which will keep us free from the menace from Asia also?" —Lord Lothian in International Affairs, London.
