FINALLY the arguments and
deliberations concerning the
world war blasts of munitions
plants at Klngsland, New Jersey,
and the Black .Tom explosions,
have been completed and Ger
many has been ordered to pay
damage awards totalling $M,000,
000. Will Germany pay? If you
were the German dictator you
would probably laugh at the Idea
and that Is Just about what he
will do. It Is one thing to send
a bill to somebody but It Is quite
a different problem to get It col
lected If the debtor Is unwilling
to pay.
The supreme court of the Unit
ed States which handed down
the final decision on these claims
yesterday might wisely have in
cluded a few more millions In
the bill as damages for recent
blasts.
We might,' In fact, bill Cor
many for our entire defense out
layIf It were not for nazl ag
gression and determination ;o
dominate the world we would
not need to arm. But then,
enough of this line of thinking.
The kind of "prosperity" we
are beginning to enjoy Is not pre
cisely the kind of prosperity we
would like to have seen. There
Is no doubt that the basis of It
Is war orders by the government,
paid for by borrowing on the gov
ernment credit.
That means that for such
"prosperity" as we arc now en
joying, the taxpayer Is still pay
ing the freight. Yet even so, It
is something ot a relief to see
the relief rolls gradually declin
ing: 3 per cent In November as
compared with October, while In
certain Industrial cities the drop
has been as high as 20 per cent
In a single month.
The transfer of men and wo
men from relief to regular Jobs
in private Industry is good in It
self, though artificially Induced
by the emergency arms program.
We should prepare now, as much
as we can tlo so, to keep lliem
there.

Navy to Add 4,000
Planes This Year,
Congress Advised
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (AP)
-Rear Admiral John H. Towers
told congress today that despite
delays and bottlenecks the navy
expected to add about 4,000 air
planes to lis fleet this year.
The chief of naval aviation,
testifying at the opening of an in
vestigation of the navy's ship
building and aircraft programs
by the house naval committee,
disclosed that the number the
navy expected to receive this
month was 331 -about double
that of December.
In response to questions by
Chairman Vinson lU-Ga.l, Tow
els said that while he was "of
course not satisfied" with the
present output, he fell that ev
erything possible was being done
to remedy the situation.
Discussing delivery schedules
which he said had not been main
tained Towers told the commit
tee that among the reasons were
shortage of machine tools and
tool-makers and failure of some
sub contractors to fulfill their
obligations to prime contractors.
The admiral said that on Jan
uary 1, the navy had 2,590 planes
on hand.

Anti-War Stand
Denounced in Talk
By Army Chaplain
PORTLAND, Jan. 8. (API
Major E. Raymond Attebury,
chaplain of the 146th artillery at
Camp Murray, asserted last night
that "it a society teaches that
nothing is worth war, then it has
prepared the eventual death of
that society."
"You don't realize how far
you've destroyed the soul of
America by the continuous, In
siduous propaganda in the
schools that nothing Is worth
war," the former pastor of a
Seattle Methodist church told a
civic club. 1
He charged that the United
States produced "international
anarchy" by failing to go to the
rescue of Abyssinia, China and
republican Spain.
"We've lost the belief that
there's something for which we
can die vouncr and live immortal-
'ly," he said. "And if we don't
recover it, tomorrow will finu us
a subject people."
"If there be any God in this
universe, this country will pay
with blood for the dirty spots
that have been put on our flag be
cause we lacked honor," he de
clared. Improving Mrs. Carl E. Wim
berly, who was recently discharg
ed from Mercy hospital following
treatment for pneumonia, is re

U.S. Agriculture
Faces Crisis, Says
Official of AAA
SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 8.
(AP) American agriculture is
up against a "life and death"
struggle against "wholesale
bankruptcy," N. E. Dodd, west
ern division director of the ag
ricultural adjustment administra
tion, said here.
Opening the 13-state western
AAA conference of farmers, AAA
employes and government offi
cials, the director stressed that
a condition closely resembling
peonage would be the result for
the nation's farmers should the
farm program fail.
For more than a year now tno
poison ot war and economic ag
gression has polluted the world,"
he said. "Our AAA program has
protected agriculture from the
worst effects so far, but each
month and each year It will be
more difficult to stave off the
effects of a dying world trade."
Ureine his hearers to stuuy
the underlying philosophy of the
farm program rather than to
hunt only for the monetary pay
ments of compliance benefits, he
said:
I fear that if we don't give an
80 to 85 per cent favorable vote
in this region on tne quota re
ferendum (on wheatl, we win
have no wheat loans next year.
Such a situation, in the face of
present conditions, would, I fear,
mark the beginning of the end
for agriculture as we know it.
'The next sten, incucareu ny
history, would be a system of
larce land concerns and virtual
peonage for American farmers.

Our loyalty is the key to
our character. To bow before
God is an act symbolizing al
legiance and obedience. The
heart of patriotism is loyalty
to the nation. The heart of
religion is loyalty to Christ.
High living and high lives
come out of high loyalties, and
the nobler the subject on the
object of those loyalties, the
more noble and worthy will
be the life and character of
those who profess and prac
tice their fidelity. Our lives
are greatly Influenced and
largely shaped by the princi
ples and the persons to which
and to whom we yield our al
legiance. Our relationships
have much to do with our des
tiny. The goodness and the
greatness of religion so power
fully appealed to Paul as to
lead him to subordinate all
other causes. It reorganized
his whole life and unified his
personal energies. Everything
else had to be relate to this
one central purpose, and for
this reason he became a man
of the "undivided mind." He
laid the sum total of all his
powers upon the alter of his
Lord. That which differen
tiates men is not so much their
gifts and abilities as it is their
power of concentration. Amen.

Soviet-American
Hitch Created By r
Interned Ships
WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. (AP)
Eleven small ships which still
fly the flags of Baltic republics
("absorbed" by soviet Russia re
main one of the major obstacles
I to more friendly relations be
;tween Moscow and Washington.
I The ships have been tied up in
'American harbors ever since
.their home ports In Europe pass
ed into Russian control.
Authoritative sources disclosed
today that aside from the ques
tion of what, if anything, to do
with these ships diplomatic re
lations between the soviet and
1 the United States were on a more
i cordial basis than they have been
l in years.
' . Since the United States still
'recognizes Latvia, Lithuania and
Estonia as independent repub
lics, however, it has refused to ,
turn over to soviet Russia the S
Baltic nations' ships which
.sought safe havens In American
ports.
Russia is badly In need of mer
chant shipping and wants the
vessels but none of the negotia
tions, here or in Moscow, has
yet established a basis for an ac
ceptable solution to the problem.
The Baltic ships are among the
2G6 foreign merchantmen which
have taken refuge In American
ports to escape the risk of fall
ing into British or axis hands at
sea. Like the others, they have
been earning no revenue, but are
piling up port charges instead.
A basic principle of American
foreign policy, officials said, was
the United States government's
refusal to recognize the transfer
of sovereignty of any territory '
acquired by force of arms. i
