Now comes distinguished authority to back up Judge Ritchie. Dr. Henry Van Dyl aged Pres- byterian minister, than whom no American citizen fand has higher standing, says Dr. Wilson’s middle name | is a “mistake.” And, further, “the truth is not in him.” The controversy is told in a Washington dis- patch to the New York Times as follows: PRINCETON, N. J, May 30.—Dr. Henry Van Dyke, author and Professor Emeritus of English Literature of Princeton Univer- sity, took issue today with statements in the report of Dr. Clarence True Wilson which was read before the Senate Lobby Committee relative to the shifting of Pro- hibition enforcement from the Treasury De- partment to the Department of Justice. Dr. Wilson, who is Secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Pub- | lic Morals, attacked Dr. Van Dyke on his | stand in the 1928 Presidential campaign and also attacked Dr. Van Dyke's father. Dean Christian Gauss of Princeton also denounced Dr. Wilson for his attack on Dr. Van Dyke “I hesitate | | | i to characterize the attack | made upon Dr. Van Dyke through insults offered to the memory of his father, his predecessor in distinguished and courageous service to Church and State,” said the Dean. “I am sure it will be received as it 'de- serves. There are some statements which only condemn him who makes them. Dr. Wilson's is clearly in this class. As an Am- erican citizen I am ashamed for and of Dr. Clarence True Wilson.” The report of Dr. Wilson which was read before the Senate Committee dwelt at length on the work of the Protestant Church, pic- tured as aligned against many malevolent forces in the 1928 campaign, which wished to bow the preacher out of politics. Dr. Wil- son attacked Dr. Van Dyke for his support of Alfred E. Smith's program and said he was not ‘“so much surprised at this, for I have a distinct recollection that his father was a Presbyterian preacher of the same stripe.” Dr. Wilson discussed at length Dr. Van Dyke's position, asserting that he bit- terly denouneed the clergy of the Methodist Church and especially the Government for permitting Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt to take the stump. Dr. Van Dyke scored Dr. Wilson, not for attacks on his own “insignificant person- ality,” but for the attacks oh his father. “Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the Metho- dist Board of something or other has made a public attack upon me which is of no | consequence because it is so evidently false,” Dr. Van Dyke said. His middle name is a mistake. “I have never advocated the election of any President, except Woodrow Wilson, but I have protested, and still protest, and will protest as long as I live, against the tyran- ny of an inquisitional church in American and refineries, equipment for fisheries, canneries politics. That is treasonable. I am a Pro- |and can-making plants. testant. From the wide range of this list it appears that “But when Dr. Clarence Blank Wilson Soviet money will be pretty generally distributed goes beyond my insignifcant personality to attack my beloved father in his grave, it is impossible for a man of honor to keep silence. Dr. Wilson says that my father ‘denounced the Government of the United States, cannonaded Lincoln, and advocated the extension of slavery. All three of these statements are false and their tone is malignant. “My father firmly believed that the church, Protestant and Catholic, ought to keep out of politics. As a private citizen he voted according to his conscience and resented any kind of dictation. “Can it be that Dr. Wilson now really represents the great Methodist Church? It seems incredible. He has no scruples and the truth is not in him.” JIM REED MAY ASK FOR NOMINATION Former Senator James A. Reed made one of his characteristically brilliant speeches the other day at Sedalia, Missouri, arraigning the majority in Congress -and the Administration, specially at- tacking the tariff legfslation, and the Anglo-Amer- fean treaty, and denouncing Prohibition and Bishop Cannon, as a man inspired by “religious intolerance and hatred.” The result has been the beginning of & boom for him for the Democratic Presidential nomination -in 1932. The speech was delivered at a State-wide meeting called to launch a campaign to swing Missouri back into her traditional place in the Democratic column. A Nation-wide radio hook-up and Reed’s opening declaration that he was speaking fo the Democrats of the Nation gave a National aspect to the speech. The belief prevailed at the Sedalia meeting that Senator Reed would make an active campaign for the Presidential nomination..

Several years before the city officially shed its his- toric name it lost its position as capital of the Turkish State. Kemal transferred the seat of gov- ernment to Angora for the same reason that the Soviet Government removed from St. Petersburg- | Petrograd-Leningrad to Moscow. In both cases the ,rrontlcr was too near for comfort. Of all the cities which have undergone rebaptism |since the World War the latest name to go is |by far the most deeply embedded in history.

The extent of this trade in recent months has been consid- erable. N. Sverdloff, Manager in charge of the Seattle office from which these purchases are made, | said to this newspaper last week: During the seven months ending April 30, our corporation spent $8,108,000 in purchases on the Pacific Coast. This exceeded the purchases made in the whole preceding year. | Under the Soviet Union’s five-year plan, $300,000,000 is to be spent in the agricultural development of the Far East. There is every reason to believe that Russia has embarked on a policy which will not be abated | until Siberia and the Soviet Pacific territory have been thoroughly developed. An outlay of almost a third of a billion dollars on a five-year plan may| somewhat exceed what that period will actually record in accomplisment, but it is certain that Rus- |sla will spend vast sums in this development and that much of this money will go to the enrichment | ‘or Pacific Coast manufacturers and shipping agen- jcles. It will become a very definite item in this coast's trade. Seattle is the nearest American port to the Far| East. That fact induced the Russian purchasing | agency to locate here and operate from here. It is a clear tip that by enterprise and trade lead- ership, this city can make the most not only of developments in Siberia, but in all that vast por- tion of Asia which borders the Pacific and con-| tains from. one-third to one-half of earth's popu- |lation, A successful talkie comedy is one that keeps the audience laughing so you can’t hear anything to laugh at.—(Buffalo Evening News.)
