By REV HAROLD L LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago © Western Newspaper Union. National Press Building Washington.—The United States is being given an object lesson in what happens when The People government a t- Must Pay tempts to interfere with nature. American farmers these days are threshing their wheat crop. The production is that of a reduced acre age, an acreage that was planned on theory by the Department of Agriculture. The result is that this year’s American wheat crop will approximate 640,000,000 bushels. That is about 145,000,000 bushels less than the average crop during the five years from 1929 to 1933. The result is a shortage. Department of Agriculture fig ures indicate that the total wheat crop in the world this year will be something like 650,000,000 bushels below the annual production. In other words, the wheat crop is short everywhere on earth and the result is obvious. In our own case, there is normal ly a carry-over each year of about 125,000,000 bushels but due to the shortage of the crop this year that carry-over is insufficient to make up the needs of domestic consump tion. Consequently, we soon will see heavy importations of Canadian wheat, a wheat that can be blended in milling with our own production and a very satisfactory flour re sults. Yet, it must be remem bered that on all importations of wheat from Canada or anywhere else, a tariff of 42 cents a bushel must be paid. It is clear, therefore, that consumers of bread must pay that tariff because the importers are going to pass that item of ex pense along as part of the cost of the flour. In addition to the short age in the United States, Canadian wheat production is reported to be something like 100,000,000 bushels under normal. There is sufficient production in Canada to permit of export, of course, but the shortage is bound to be reflected in the prices. And mention of the price brings us back to the individual effect of the combination of acreage, re duced by government edict, plus the act of nature in visiting a drouth upon us. Scarcity always results in higher prices. It is the operation of the law of supply and demand. The Roosevelt farm pol icy has been predicated on the the ory that scarcity would produce higher prices and thereby add to the farm income. But drouth and other production hazards cannot be predicted and, therefore, the Amer ican people find themselves in a position where the unpredictable has happened and the farmers are not getting the benefit of higher prices on a natural and normal production. • • • There seems to be a stronger demand for wheat now than at any time during the Industry last five or six Opens Up years. It indicates a restoration of buying power on the part of the masses. In other words, industry again is opening up to some ex tent and employing workers al though the increase in employment has been small thus far. In consequence of this combina tion of circumstances, there is now a seller’s market in wheat in stead of a buyer’s market in wheat. To say it another way, there are more people seeking to buy wheat than there are seeking to sell it and the consumers of flour will pay the bill. By way of contrast with present conditions, it may be point ed out that world wheat consump tion has exceeded world wheat pro duction in every year except one since 1929. In the 1932 crop year there was slightly more wheat pro duced in the world than was con sumed. The result of the steady growth in consumption over pro duction in the last few years has been to wipe out all of the carry- over—wheat stored in bins and ele vators throughout the world—and in every country users of wheat are scraping the bottoms of their bins. The tragedy of it all is that, be cause of the reduced acreage and the drouth in the United States, American farmers are not in a po sition to take advantage of the high er prices thus established by the sale of surplus wheat which may have been accumulated if the acreage had been normal. Instead of the United States real ly controlling the market for wheat, we are in a position where a good many other countries may be en couraged to grow more wheat. The natural and obvious results of this will be to further curtail the outlet for American wheat which so long has been relied on by many foreign nations that are non-producers of wheat. I do not know how far the New Deal intends to go in revising its basic economic policy regarding crop controlling. I can be sure of only one thing in regard to the New Deal plans: The visitation of the drouth in two years in which the political planners of the New Deal attempted to upset natural laws has proved the inability of man to alter the course of nature and by the same token these con ditions have proved the inability of government to change human na ture. I do not know whether oth ers will agree with my conclusion or not but I am of the opinion that the American farmers are paying dearly for the crop control checks they received in the past two years. Even with a crop shortened by drouth, if there had been the nor mal acreage of wheat, American farmers would have reaped the re ward to which they are so justly entitled. • « • A year or two ago, a committee of the American Bar association made a report def- Bar Offers initely critical of Neu) Plan the New Deal ad ministration for having created so many agencies to which had been given functions almost like the courts. That re port pointed out how such units as the now dead NRA and the equally dead AAA could issue rules and regulations that were enforceable as law. They called attention to the further fact that countless of these rules and regulations carried strict and severe penalties, even to the extent of a jail term for an indi vidual violator. Lately, another committee of the American Bar association has pub lished another report, again calling attention to the un-American princi ples established in such bureau cratic control. It offers a construc tive proposal for the elimination of bureaucratic management of in dividual affairs from Washington. It proposes the establishment of an administration court which would have power to enforce these rules and regulations but would be equipped with the judicial right of determination so that the thousands upon thousands of regulations with their various penalties would not be enforced upon an individual ac cused of their violation without giv ing that alleged violator the right of a hearing. The committee pro posal, in other words, would put an end to determination of violations by one bureaucrat. Ultimately, the proposed court would take over the judicial work of all of the administrative agen cies in Washington now numbering something like 75. The initial op eration of the court would be limit ed until it could bring something like uniformity out of the chaos now existing for it is well known that in many cases two govern mental agencies will have rules on the same point and those rules will not be the same. In some aggra vated situations, it has been found that one agency will prescribe a penalty against an individual busi ness for doing one thing while an other agency will have no penalty for the same act. Another instance is known where two agencies have virtually the same regulations but the penalties in 'he two rules are different. * • • I suppose the condition can be explained by the fact that dozens of new bureaus Too Many have been set up Bureaus under the scores of New Deal laws and that in the haste to get them into operation, no co-ordination was had between the various groups, but it is my belief that private citizens cannot be blamed for this condition. Since they cannot be blamed for failure of government to function properly, they ought not be compelled to answer for the silly differences in law which bureau crats have written under authority of congress to draft necessary reg ulations. After all, congress is really to blame for this condition. It rushed through laws which President Roosevelt demanded and it did not take time to debate the provisions nor did it examine the sections to know fully what results would flow from them. In many cases, too many, statements of general legis lative policy were not clear and congress abdicated its duties to the extent that it wrote into those laws provisions saying that the agency which was to enforce the particu lar law was given authority to write whatever rules and regula tions were found to be necessary. Some authority of this kind always has been given in order to make the national laws flexible but they never have been given to such an extent as they have in the last three years. Insufficient time has elapsed since the American Bar association committee came forth with its ad ministrative court proposal for an analysis to be made of its poten tialities. It may, and probably does, have weaknesses. It does, how ever, have a strong point in the general idea that a judicial body should determine whether an individual citizen has violated a bureaucrat's law and what the pen alty should be rather than have that bureaucrat sit as prosecutor, judge and jury in telling the indi vidual citizen what his crime has been. • Western Newspaper Union.

GOLDEN TEXT—Be not deceived: God Is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.—Gala tians 6:7. PRIMARY TOPIC—How to Behave. JUNIOR TOPIC—When We Choose. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Sowing and Reaping. (Effects of Alcohol). YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Sowing and Reaping. (Effects of Alcohol). Satan is “the god of this world.” And as such he has wrought con fusion in every realm and particu larly in the field of moral distinc tions and responsibility. Instead of clear-cut lines of right and wrong, white and black, he has managed to befuddle the minds of many so that they see only a twilight gray of moral indifference. He has lulled many a man and woman into a false security that somehow sin may be yielded to with impunity. To some he says there is no God, and no punishment for sin. To those who will not yield to such a bold attack he more subtly suggests that God is love and that there will be no judgment. Some there are who think that formal association with religious organizations will some how atone for all their carelessness of life. How great is the need to emphasize the truth of this lesson that “God is not mocked, for what soever a man soweth that shall he also reap” (v. 7). These are eternal and immutable principles. The epistle to the Galatians ex pounds Christian liberty as based on justification by faith. This life of liberty is a life in the Spirit, and this means walking in the Spirit. I. The Christian’s Attitude Toward Others (w. 1, 2). The spiritual concerns of life are far more important than the mate rial, therefore the writer points out that the believer is 1. Considerate in spiritual matters (v.l). Sin is in the world. Men, even Christian men, fall. Who is to help them? and how? Fellow sinners and spiritual weaklings cannot help. Sanctimonious and “holier than thou” folk will only criticize and hinder. The spiritually strong must help the weak, doing it gently, not judging severely. But not all the problems of the world are spiritual and the Chris tians will be 2. Helpful in bearing the burdens of life (v. 2). The Christ spirit leads a man to bear his neighbor’s burden. II. The Christian’s Attitude To ward His Own Life (vv. 3-6). The true believer is character ized by 1. Humility (v. 3). The man who is wrapped up in himself is always a very small bundle. 2. Self-judgment (v. 4). Compare I Cor. 3:10-15. God will one day judge our lives. We do well to judge them now in the light of eternity. 3. Self-reliance (v. 5). The one who is quick to bear another’s bur dens is slow to ask others to bear his. 4. A sacrificial spirit (v. 6). The true disciple will honor his teacher and will share with him not only his material things, but also the good things she finds in God’s Word. III. An Eternal Law of Life and Conduct (vv.7-9). 1. The law stated (v. 7). “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth that sha'l he also reap.” We never question this law in the realm of nature. We expect no wheat when we sow wild oats. But, fools that we are, we think God is less exacting, less true to his perfect holiness and right eousness in the realm of the moral and spiritual. Let us awake before it is too late! 2. The law illustrated (v. 8). The flesh stands for self, self-will, or selfishness. The man who lives for himself and his own pleasures reaps “corruption” even in the present world. 3. Its obedience rewarded (v. 9). God is gracious. Well doing is not only its own reward, but in future prospect there is a reward at his hand for those who are not "weary in well doing.” IV. A Summary and Conclusion (v. 10). This gathers up the truth of the entire context, reminding us that “as we have opportunity” (and sometimes it really knocks only once) we are to “work that which is good” (and it may take effort and sacrifice) “toward all men” (even if we don’t like their nationality, or color, or creed, or lack of creed), “and especially” (and now we come into the intimate family circle) “to ward them that are of the household of faith.” Lacking imagination The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be with out a telescope. — Henry Ward Beecher. The Guilty Conscience A guilty conscience is like a whirl pool drawing in all to itself, which would otherwise pass by.—Fuller. Don’t Trouble Trouble Do not anticipate trouble, or wor ry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.—Franklin.
