There is no greater blessing than a devoted and intelligent ather. In most instances the fine things which have been | id about the love of mothers for their children cannot ade- ately express the truth. Nowhere in this world will one find ore genuine heroism, greater selflessness or greater loyalty. But what of Mrs. Helen Tiernan, who slew her little daugh- *, attempted to murder her son that she might be free to » rsue a romance? Fathers have justly been praised for their faithfulness, _eir patience and their tender care of the children God has nfided to their care but what of the Phoenix, Ariz., father 710, the sire of five sons, refused to accept a new-born daughter 2 his home because he would “have only boys in my house”?

Where Value Lies Important things are happening to the world’s supply of ld. Few of the important trading nations are using it for mey. Other considerations have taken its place. __ This has been brought about, largely, by America’s policy - purchasing the world’s gold. Since we have depleted the ks of other nations the day may not be far distant when ‘2y will tell us to keep our gold, that they have found other ; igs to use for money. | This, after all, may be a real advance in trading among tions. It may so stimulate international business that no | tion can afford to go to war. Blessings sometimes come in | guise. ki Gold has been a rather artificial measure of value, any- w. If all of it now in the world were eliminated at one fell hoop there wouldn’t be any great amount of suffering. Its e is artificial because it isn’t USED by the people. 4 In fact, it isn’t anywhere near so valuable as steel. That pused by everyone. At last account there was 17,800 pounds ‘steel in use for every person in this country. And if all the iel now in use were sold at scrap iron prices it would total /3,600,000,000, a sum greater, than our total stock of money, | luding gold and silver bullion and currency. q More Freight Cars on Way } Freight cars now on order by American railroads total , the largest figure since 1926, according to figures ued by the American Railroad association. Locomotives un- i; way total 345, the largest number since 1930 when 362 were porder, | This is due to the accumulated demand, held up during the years which followed 1929. During that period the rail- ds didn’t need so many cars and the car shops generally were Now, with business reviving, the railroads are acutely of this shortage. Wise railroad men say the nation may je & transportation crisis if things get to humming in the -fashioned way. It is refreshing to see this confidence in the future of the intry. America needs more things than the mind can encom- and if the nation gets a break it is going to be able to buy im.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, May 24—A foretaste of the propaganda attack to which Washington and the country will be subjected in the event of another general European war is being pro- vided by the Spanish embassy here. Although there is now a neutrality law of problematical effectiveness, nowhere therein is contained any sort of @ ban on any type of propa- ganda. A foreign embassy is permit- ted to engage in any type of “educa- tional work” it desires, assuming it doesn’t stick its nose into domestic affairs It may work as hard as it likes to enlist American sympathies and it will be recalled that allied propagandists were extraordinarily effective in such effort during the World War. The Spanish embassy has become a freely’ flowing source of pamphlets, statements, press releases, reproduc- tions of documents and other items of formal propaganda, in addition to whatever more intimate and confi- dential methods it may be adopting. The official explanation is that it has been impossible to answer individu- ally a deluge of requests for informa- tion—hence distribution of copies of articles in newspapers, periodicals and of official government state- ments. The embassy’s mailing list, of course, is its own secret. Fernando de los Rios, has press con- ferences. These conferences are ef- fective from a propaganda standpoint because the ambassador is a brilliant intellectual with a mild, friendly per- sonality which has attracted many sympathizers to his government’s cause. One conference was held to make public the Spanish govern- ment’s amnesty offer to deserters from the rebel ranks. The ambassa- dor also has made speeches to meet- ings of American sympathizers in the East. The embassy ballroom has been turned over to an exhibit of Spanish war posters and works of art illustrat- ing tbe conflict from the Loyalist slant. * * * Rising Tide of Sympathy Rebel propaganda has been com- paratively inconspicuous here lately. Its only recent offering has been a small collection of photographs, la- beled: “Civilized people of the world, see how the hordes of Caballeros kill the men, outrage the women, wreck works of art and violate every sense of decency.” The pictures purport to show victims of mass executions, a dead militiaman chained to his gun, estruction at Toledo’s Alcazar, an exhumed nun and other horrors. A rising tide of American sympathy for the Loyalists has been noted here lately, not only by the embassy staff but at the State Department. This seems to have much less relation to the official propaganda than to au- thenticated reports of rebel bombard- ment, burnings and massacres at Guernica and other Basque towns— attributed by the Basque government. to Germans and Italians—and objec- tion by General Franco to evacuation of women and children from Bilbao. Protests of Basque priests and the fact that in Spain the Basques are commonly said to be “more Catholic than the Pope,” is also believed to have contributed to a reviusion in American fecling, which began with bombardments of Madrid. ‘Thus the loyalists have been given a leg up in the running battle of atrocity charges and counter-s which has accompanied the struggle from the start. ‘i xe *e Many “Horror Pictures” At various times the embassy has issued an official Basque government account of the bombardment and burning of Guernica—with emphasis on the burning by incendiary bombs of churches and hospitals used as churches, It is a Basque appeal to the world “before God and history, which must judge us all,” an expansion of charges that the rebel tactics show ® German-Italian intent to gain con- trol of Spanish mineral resources, an invitation from the, Valencla govern- ent to all persons and commissions ishing to investigate, and a charge that the American Committee for Spanish Relief, “founded by persons of high social standing,” is identified with causes represented by the rebels. Pamphlets and reprints distributed by the embassy include scores of al- leged instances of rebel atrocities, in- cluding all the possible cruelties and massacres photographs cluding ruins of burned churches and chapels; case histories of numerous murdered Basque and other priests; declarations by Catholics and scores of Spanish intellectuals; rej of American and British nts; articles giving the background of the revolt and tales of deserters.
