How They Stand
AT last reports the1 senate was evenly divided three ways
on the president's plan to change the complexion of the
supreme court, 32 for, 32 against, 32 undecided. It will
require 49 votes to pass the bill. In ease of ia tie the vice
president would cast the deciding vote. The pressures on the
senators who are still undecided -will be terrific. The pres
ident is credited with determination to get. his bill through
- and to use all the powerful pressure that only a president has.
Naturally hevwiH feel that his prestige is at stake' and leave
no stone unturned to win his battle.
. The New York Herald-Tribune has published a list
showing how the senate stands. The iist is now several days
old and some changes have occurred. For example Senators
Copeland and Nye are now credited with being definitely . in
opposition. The position of Senators McNary and Steiwer is
well known, both being opposed to the bill. The sharp division
is among the democrats and among the genuine new dealers,
the radicals of all labels." ' -, 1 " t

(Concluding from yesterday:)
Here are a few words from the
preface of "Brotherhood Econom

Japanese Christian and states
man: - . :: V: - - .- .
."Once more in the twentieth
century I am reflecting on the
words of the Lord Jesus, when he
said: Those who -merely repeat:
'Lord. Lord cannot enter Into
Heaven, but only those who really
practice His -words will do so.
.. "I have never heard of such a
period as the present, when the
teachings of Christ are being chal
lenged. - . . . -
"If the church were, trying to
practice lore In society, there
would he ' a reason for Its - exist

- S
."With creeds alone I do sot ex
pect it to be able to save the
world. Not that creeds are unim
portant, but ' along with creeds
and dogmas there is need for the
application of REDEEMING
LOVE IN SOCIAL LIFE. f

"In the new. age we must solve

go together, supply and demand.
"We must bridge over the gap

that the whole process of Indus

Two facts:. First, the nations

Because of the pressure on the
money market, arising from, gov

will have, to pay higher fates of

them. ".

"She was a poetess, wasn't she?
Now how on earth do I remind
you of her, 'Handsome'?"
'Because of the look in your

Over her glass -of champagne

Luana was wrapt In -a. silence
that was profounds After a little
while she said : softly, her eyes
shining: : "Tell me some more,
please, 'Handsome. . ..' 7
He leaned towards her, re
sponding- to her mood, infected
by. her enthusiasm. So' she loved
beauty? 'Could be moved by it, by
the haunting cadence of words?
In her mind's eye, khe was seeing
-the shimmering loveliness of. the
Grecian Isles? . ;; . ,
-"Suppose I get up-a little par
ty, Luana, alnca you're so conven

trip? We'd go ot Venice, and visit
the palaces of thu Doges, and of

be pretty early in the season
there, but you'd enjoy everything.
We'd drift about on the canals,
too, la the gondolas. They're fas

'Then we'd sail down the Alri-
atic to the beauUf ul ' little Greek
Island of Corf a, which would take
about ' three days - In my 'yacht.
That'a where the Empress of Aus
tria had her jalaee and where she
mourned the lost love of her hus
band, the ,Emperor Franx Josef,
who neglected her. Just as "lots

wouldn't !" His sleeur ' black
eyes' opened and held hers with a
kind of magnetism. "I'd be so aw

ana. that there simply wouldn't

She said hastily: "Wasnt that
Austrian empress the mother of
the young Archduke Rudolph who
came to a mysterious death?"
"Handsome" nodded, : supple
menting: "With this beantlful be
loved, the Baroness Yetsera. They
were found dead together in his
hunting lodge, lying side by
side." ' . - ,
Everything that "Handsome"
referred to had the lore note in
it Such talk fascinated but
frightened , .her. Where was It
leading?

"and walked, in. the beautiful

Luana thought to herself: Lore

to suck tragedy!- :

her went on: "We'd stop at the
