WASHINGTON Dec 15—With
congress looking forward impa-

and no real prospect of getting
any Important legislation out of

A New N U A?
Everybody Is talking about the
better feeling between the admin

are wondering how long It will
last There is a rumor going
around that one group of ad min

that it Will lemi to a demand
from business for a revival or

Some suspielous politicians in
congress are wondering whether
the president In saying that he
Is for ehimghtg the corporation
tax system whenever Colire141 Is
reedy for it was not "passing the
buck" to congress so that the
blame for any failure of held-
nest to respond to whatever it is
that congress flumully decides to
do will be plaeed on congress and
not on the white house

Point they agree on is that the

are ot doing a very good job

attitude toward labor There are
hints of a well-backed movement

better break

Today And
Tomorrow
BRAM goes Famciet
The now that the new Presi-
dent of Brazil has promulgated a
new Conatitution which puts all
power in the hands of the Premi-
dent and relegate§ the Brazilian
Congresa to the background is of
interest to Americans because it
seems to he the first definite es-
tablishment of a Fascist form of
government in the western hemi-
sphere President Getulio Vargas
refers to the new government as
a "corporative state" which is
exactly what Mussolini calla hie
Fascist government in Italy
The importance of this leap of
Fascism aerosol the Atlantic at
this time is what it may signify
In the light of close alliance of
the Dictator-governed nationa of
the world Italy and Germany
have taken 1apan into their alli-
ance with the avowed purpose of
opposing the spread of democracy
have no Idea how closely Bra-
zil's new Dictator is in league
with those three powers but that
there is a tie is more than pos-
sible Italy Germany and Japan de-
mand more of the earth than they
have for their surplus population
Al! of them have been planting
colonies of their nationals in Bra-
zil for years particularly Ger-
ninny The United States is bound
by the Monroe Doctrine to main-
thin the independence of South
American states The Brazilian
sltuation may make trouble for
us
MONROE "hands off"
President James Monroe sound-
ed his warning to Europe to keep
'bands off South America in 1823
In a message to Congress he
wrote:
"The political system of the al-
Ilied powers is essentially differ-
' ant from that of America we
should consider any attempt on
'their part to extend their system
to any part of this hemisphere
as dangerous to our peace and
safety The American conti-
nents by the free and independent
condition which they have (MUM
ed and maintain are henceforth
not to be considered as subjects
for future colonization by any Eu-
ropean powers"
That doctrine was aimed at a
different system of European gov-
ernment than exists today and at
an alliance far different from
Fascism But it has served as a
"hands off" notice to the world
for 114 years has been maintain-
ed as the consistent policy of the
United States and respected by
the rest of the world
If the present extension of a
European system of government
to Brazil has the backing of the
Fascist states or results in an al-
liance with them it certainly will
be up to our government to take
notice and do—something to pro-
tect and maintain our Monroe
Doctrine
EMPIRE of Brazil
At one time Brazil was still
under a monarchy Many now liv-
ing can recall seeing the last Em-
peror of Brazil Dom Pedro E at

Lesson for December 19 Luke
2:8-20
Golden Texts Luke 2:11
"She laid him in a manger be
cause there was no room for them
In the inn" We can picture to
ourselves the various sorts of folk
in that inn stout Jewish farm
era a couple of petty governors
a half-dozen brutal Roman sol-
diers some priests a rabbi and
idlers hanging about the door or
lounging by the fire All were
unmindful of Mary and her divine
treasure about to be born
This is typical of that coldness
of heart Jesus encountered "lie
came unto his own and his own
received him not" Today this
drama of the renunciation of the
Master is being repeated The
world is full of its own interests
and there is no room for the Mas-
ter Even at Christmas time when
the whole world is reminded of
Ilk blessed coming Ile is crowd-
ed out There is always danger
of a Christmas without Christ

I good ruler but the people of Bra-
zil took the government into their
own hands in 1889 and demanded
his resignation They adopted a
constitution almost an exact copy
of ours with 20 provinces feder-
ated as the United States of Bra-
zil Simon Bolivar "The Liberator"
had successfully incited the Span-
ish colonies Of South Ameriea to
declare 0''Y independence half a
century r -Hier Brazil being
Portugue— instead of Spanish

fluence ni1 was quite content to
be ruled by a member of the
yortuguese royal House of Bra-
'ganza Indeed Rio de Janerio was for
a short time the actual capital of
Portugal when the events of the
Napoleonic wars forced Dom John
VI the Portuguese emperor to
move himself and the royal court
across the Atlantic in 1808 Bra-
zil's history is indeed curious and
colorful
S
ECONOMIC the reason
At the bottom of the Brazilian
dictatorship is the low economic
state into which the country has
fallen Probably the richest agri-
cultural territory in the whole
world I3razil has few of the min-
eral resources found elsewhere in
South America but prospered for
many years by building up almost
a world monopoly of coffee-grow!
ing
Brazil's coffee "valorization"
plan is the oldent and until lately
the most succeanful scheme of
governmental cron control and
state subsidized agriculture In the
world By limiting planting burn-
ing up surplus coffee and control-
ling exports the Brazilian govern-
ment wam able to feed coffee into
the world markets in doses meas-
ured by demand at highly profit-
able prices but if other nations
tried to market coffee Brazil could
and did undersell them and prac-
tically ruin their coffee-planters
The collapse of Brazil's coffee-
valorizatioq myatem due to the
world's reducing purchaeing pow-
er and the government's inability
to borrow money enough to pay
its debts on the aecurity of ware-
housed coffee broke the world's
coffee market in October The fi-
nancial panic and unemployment
that followed was the excuse be-
hind President Vargas' seizure of
dictatorial power

PEOPLF seek leader

Christmas shopping the pushing

Clauses the tired nerves of our
store and postal clerks and the
conventional artificality of so
much Christmas giving one won-
ders what Jesus thinks of it all
It is often hard to find the real
Christmas spirit in all this burly-
burly Phillips Brooks gives two rea-
sons for this pushing aside of
Jesus First of all he says the
world does not feel in need of
Elm Secondly the world is con-
scious of shame and sin It finds
no space in its evil atmosphere
for the high majestic Christ
Both of these explanations are
familiar to us all We feel their
force We know how Indifferent
men and nations are to the mes-
sage of the incarnation And we
understand full well how sin
crowds out the Saviour making
its victims deaf to the call of
Jesus But thank Cod for the pas-

pendent and intelligent am are the
Portuguese people In Brazil the
old Portuguese stock IA very thin-
ly diluted The government of
Brazil therefore while nominally
a democracy has been since 1889
a government by a political oli-
garchy in which only a small frac-
tion of the people participated
The loyalty of most Brazilians IA
to their states first and the na-
tion second Th nee conditions
made it easy for the leader of a
minority clique to seize power
under pretext of pulling the na-
tion out of economic distress by
Fascist methods
FLAG no fetish
Judge Albert D Mans of the
federal district court of Philadel-
phia ruled the other day that
the school board had no right or
authority to expel two pupils for
refusing to salute the flag of the
United States In this particular
case the children's parents were
members of a religious sect whose
tenets forbid showing reverence
to any but the Deity The ex-
pulsion of the children was a
violation of the constitutoinal
guaranty of religious liberty
Judge Marie field
"Liberty of conscience" he said
"means liberty for each individual
to decide for himself what Is to
him religious" and he termed
the assumption by public offi-
dais of the right to override re-
ligious convictions a "pernicious
and alien doctrine"
It seems to me that this is a
specially timely interpretation of
Individual rights under our Con-
stitution They need watchful
guarding those rights in an era
when the tendency of the whole
world is toward suppressing them
To compel children to salute the
flag savors to me too much like
the compulsory Facist salute of
Italy or the "Heil Hitler" which
every German must say on almost
every occasion
USE FOR CACTUS
Newest use for cactus is to
prevent formation of gullies as
reported by lianza Dogess Ta-
loge farmer This is soil con-
servation in two ways lie gets
paid through the agricultural
conservatoin program for eradi-
cating the plants from his fields
and uses them to prevent his gul-
lies from growing reports Le-
