ENGLISH COMMENT, HOOVER’S TALK ‘The Manchester (England) Guardian comments | on former President Hoover's seventy-fifth birthday speech at Stanford University in California, according to a BBC broadcast. It quotes many of the figures he gave to show in his words that.the United States last lap to collectivism through government ‘The is on the collection and spending of the people’s savings. paper say “If Mr Hoover is right, the American critic of British extravagance and collectivist wickedness must be ignoring a pretty big beam in their American eye. But it is easier to abuse us than to set about practicing at home what they preach abroad.” FORCE OF NATURE The carthquake in Ecuedor ranks neither high nor low among disasters of the kind. Its death toll, which, it is now feared, may reach as high as 6000 persons, is higher than the 425 casualties in the 1906 San Francisco quake and fire.

Statistics, however, have only a cold-blooded rela- tion to any particular disaster. An earthquake, when it strikes in an urban region, is a particularly heart- ’rendering work of nature. The forces are so profound jand tremendous and the consequences so terrifying lus to confound mere man. Unable either to predict the occurrence of earthquakes or, if that were possible, to prevent them, men can only stand in awe, bury the dead, and clean up the debris. To the latter tasks, the Ecuadoreans are moving as best they can—with the compassionate sympathy and assistance of their fellow Americans in this and other republics. We are glad that the United States is*in a position to be of help and that our public and private agencies are hastening to give that help in full measure as a token of the brotherhood of all men { before nature’s nonracial, nonreligious, nonnational, nondiscriminatory majesty. ass Excommunication (Cincinnati Enquirer) i The action of Pope Pius III in excommunicating !from the Roman Catholic Church all adherents to Communism is one of the broadest in all church his- tory. It will affect, in greater or lesser degree, mil- lions of people in all parts of the world. Some authori- ties state that no similar Catholic order has touched, potentially, so great a number of individuals. How potent the excommunication will be remains to be seen. It is difficult to understand how the order drastically can alter the world situation—as such an order, issued 400 years ago, certainly would have altered it. In those days the Church had great temporal power—power in trade as well as in government. Those influences have all but disappeared. The Papal Decree, then, will be limited in fits scope, so far as its practical effect on Russia is concerned. But it leaves no question as to how a most aggressive segment of the Western world feels on the ! subject of Moscow. The Pope has delivered the strong- est blow he and his vast organizations can exercise. It is certain to have important repercussions in every Western natfon. | L A Chicago widow gave a man $8,000 in advance to marry her, and he did a fadeaway. How can a woman be a widow and know so little about men? The ailing world would soon be in tip-top shape if there were as many persons willing to fill pre- sulptmns for its cure as to write them.

THE UTH HUGO SIMS, 27-year-old South Carolinian who won the DSC and several other combat decorations as a paratreoper. Although the young- est member in Congress, Sims has demonstrated he and a militant “New South.” PAT SUTTON, 33-year-old Ten- nesseean who was twice wounded in battle and is the most decorat- ¢d member in Congress.
