For more than one-third of the population of the world tomorrow is the festival of a risen Lord, who as a man walking in Galilee preached the doc-! trine of love and humility. He preached it in a known world which was kept in order by the iron fist of Rome but whose ancient civilization was al- ready beginning to decay. A black despair was creeping slowly over all lands. He offered hope. On every hand plans are already being drawn for an orderly return to peace conditions.

(“Cotton Ed") Smith of South Carolina voted for the draft act, but doesn’t seem anx- ious to let his son, Ellison D. Smith, Jr., be drafted. In fact, the Senator intervened 'personally with officials of a District of Columbia draft board in order to get his son placed on the deferred list. Young Smith, who is a law student at National University, first wrote a letter to the draft board explaining that he was indispensable to the Senate Agriculture Committee, of which he is clerk and his father is chairman. Draft board officials, however, could not see how young Smith was competgnt to pass judgment on whether he was really essential to the efficiency of the Agriculture Committee. 8o “Cotton Ed” himse'f came to the draft board office. “Young man,” boomed the Senator from South Carolina, “you have me on the spot.” “Cotton Ed” was advised that he would be even more on the spot if he wrote a letter over his own signa- ture asking that his son be deferred. Instead he was advised to get a letter from other members of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
