Herod had no real jurisdiction, but was pleased with Pilatet™ recognition. From that day these two guilty men were friends. If, Herod, who had already mur- dered John the Baptist, had tried, he could have saved Jesus. He could have sent Him back to Pilate with this meunage: “I thank you for your courtesy, and wish, indeed, that this case came under my jurisdiction, for I would gladly release thin prisoner. And now, since you have done me the honor of sending Him to me, hear me, O Pilate, and count this the word of a friend. Spare his life, and save yourself such remorse as I feel. Out of a troubled spirit do I send this mesvage; for I murdered this man's friend to please a wanton woman, and have hed no hour of peace since then.” @iate, with his wife, unifke Herodias and Salome, Pleading for the release of Jesus, would have been glad of that pretext, and would have saved Jesus.

Pilate consented to the mur- pher of Jesue for fear of losing his job. It was the ¢owardice of politics that moved him. ‘The next was Caiaphas, the high priest. “He that 1 , @alivered me *% thee hath the greater sin,” said Jesus When we consider thene matters, we see how thor. oty modern were all the motives that murdered Jesus Christ. Lust for money, greed of political power, re- ligion considered as an end and not as a means to righteousness, and readiness to evade unpleasant re sponaibility—these very common and ordinary motives compassed the world’s greatest tragedy The solemn lesson of it all is that these are not the sins of exceptionally wicked men, but of those whom we know and meet every day. THE SEATTLE STAR AS OTHERS SEE THE WORLD © Editorials and Comments Reprinted From Various Newspapers GREAT BRITAIN, JAPAN AND AMERICA (From the Chicago Trimune) Midney Osborne, the American writer on Japanese subjecta, says in hin book, “The Now Japanese Peril,” that Great Britain will be forced soon to choose between Japan and the United Mtates, British statesmen frankly admit that, but they cannot do the deciding. They worst part of the British dilemma ts that the United States will decide it. If the United States promotes an understanding with Great Britain the United States will have one friend and one enemy. If the understanding with Great Britain ts prevented, the United states will have two enemies. With the understanding the enemy, Japan, will be weakened and peace will be preserved. Without the understanding Japan will be strength: ened and war may result. Great Britain ts the onty nation with which the United States can have an understanding for the protection of peace and for ile own interests. Great Britain is the only nation which in alliance with Japan ean greatly increase the probability of war between the United States and Japan We stall not make an allmnce with Great Britatn and it t# not sug- gested that we do, but we oan reach an understanding and come to agreements which will eatiafy the British they do not need the Japanese alliance, Such agreements willftake the menace out of Japan, turn her plans in a new direction, and completely modify her policy For the mke of an alliance with Great Firitain Japan oan afford to concitiate the parts of the British empire which now fear Japanese pur- poses, An agreement to keep away from British territory would be un derstood in the alliance, and the Japanese would keep away. Tut they will not, then, keep away from us. | enagraryee SETH TANNER |) i TODAY'S QUESTION ANSWERS R. lL.
