THE ORACLE —— “BEVIN VIEWS SACRED TOOTH Mr. Ernest Bevin, British Foreign Sec- retary, fecently visited Ceylon, where he was paid an honor not offered to mem- bers of the British Royal family on a previous visit. The British statesman was permitted to look upon the sacred tooth relic that reputedly came from the jew of Tautama Buddha, which his be- tievers consider sacred enough to invoke | a blessing that has a beneficent effect * wpen human ills. Some four hundred years ago, or about the time Columbus discovered the new world, the Ceylonese constructed a temple of the tooth. In it reposes the tooth » eneased in seven goiden baskets, buried + under a blanket of necklaces of precious * stones, representing the votive offerings ~ of queens over centuries past and an in- Sealculable fortune. . The Buddhists take their “sacred re- * lies” seriously. In fact, the Prime Minister * of Burma seeks to borrow some of them to strengthen his government’s _ prestige against various rebel movements. Cey- fon, according to newspaper dispatches, has agreed to lend them to Burma and the British Government has commis- + sioned a eruiser to convey them to Ran- : goon, : NOT A FAIR DEAL Naturally, it may be assumed that ' President Truman will continue his part- nership with John L. Lewis and other labor bosses who have up-rooted big business. Nevertheless big wages are being paid and the wheels af the American economic sys- Wer keep rolling round and round. Just : how Mr. Truman figures out his fantastic ' schemes is beyond the powers of human ' beings and clairvoyants to solve. But when it is all whittled down it is just a fantastic way the President is planning to repeal all the practical labor laws now on the sta- tute books. And anyone who will take the time to read the Taft-Hartley labor act will find that it contains provisions and cures for any kind of labor union strikes. Why has our country faced these condi- ‘tions through long years—beginning with Roosevelt, who pinned his programs onto the man he selected as his Vice President? ‘eel President Truman has his way the worst labor bosses in history will continue 4o pull the country down. «While our domestic policy is shaky dnd anstable our foreign policy is worse— Bo-bad in fact that it has taken billions of SWotlars of American money to keep things “trom blowing up. ee . i « Investigation of the lending policy of the billion-dollar Reconstruction Finance its authority, particularly in making loans on the ground that such transac- tions would increase employment. The RFC was one of the first govern- ment corporations to be formed when the nation found itself in the early stages of the depression of the Thirties. It has advanced large sums of money and some of them have aroused criticism. The largest loan the agency ever made was to a railroad company, amounting - to $85,000,000. It has extended credit in the millions to a number of other business enterprises and one, we understand, is in default on $37,500,000 of its loan. There is some justification for the work of the RFC which was set up under the administration of President Hoover. It can, no doubt, assist business by mak- ing available adequate capital, not avail- able on “reasonable terms” in banking circles. Practically any loans. under con- sireration, would “increase employment.” Nevertheless, if a lack of capital in large amounts threatens the existence and operation of important economic un- its, the agency could and: probably did, do much to keep the wheels of private in- dustry moving. There is the danger that the power vested in the small group of officials op- erating such an agency can be carelessly or unfairly used. We have heard no ac- cusations on this score against the RFC. Neither have we heard any allegation that its operations are conducted on a political basis. Notwithstanding this fact, however, the possibility of favorable action to select- ed beneficiaries exists and it might be well for the Senate to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation. Waiting for somebody te arrive, when you know they are probably not going to arrive, is one of life’s most tiresome bus- inesses. OLD TESTAMENT REVISED A picked group of the nation’s fore- most Biblical scholars and religious edu- cators has just about *completed a revised standard version of the Old Testament, which, it is expected, will be published sometime in 1952. The new-phrased version of the Old Testament will be a companion to the sim- ilar version of the New Testament com- pleted in 1945 by the same group of schol- ars. They began their work in 1929, when some forty major Protestant church bodies in this country and Canada appointed a committee to study the situation. Dr. Luther A. Weigle,’ Dean-emeritus of Yale University Divinity School, points out that he and his colleagues have not attempted to revise the Bible but they are attempting to revise the English transla- tion of the Bible, which was written in He- brew and Greek, They seek to use English words, phrases and sentences that will give to the English reader of the present a translation which will adequately convey the meaning of the scriptural text. The committee points out that the work on the Old Tectament involved three times as much translation as the New Testament and that it was further com- plicated by the fact that many new arch- eological and manuscript discoveries have been made in recent years. The farmer, having tasted governmen- tal benefits in the form of cash, will be just like veterans and the big business tycoons—like it and want more. A DEMAND FOR ECONOMY Washington newspapers recently re- ported the fact that many members of Con- gress have joined echo on Capital Hill in an insistent demand by voters for cutting Government costs and balancing the bud- get. They have also declared their allegi- ance to the Hoover Commission’s recom- mendation for greater Government effici- ency and economy. Senator Milliken of Colorado has told the Washington press that: “This year | went around the State and held question and answer forums. I was dumbfounded, J never had to bring up the subject of eeo- nomy or of balancing the budget.-It was jwsually the first question and the one most often repeated.” The debates all proved Sam is spending his head off. that Uncle ' INQUIRY INTO R, F.
