REMOVES SOVIETS' PROP
HOOVER SAYS LIFTING TRADE
BAN WILL EXPOSE TYRANNY
"fd l.radern Have Heretofore I'lnct'd

[Br Press.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.? Removal of
the blockade on Soviet Russia has
knocked one 01* their "greatest props"
from under the Bolshevists. Herbert
Hoover said in a statement here to
night.
Speaking' of his knowledge of world
conditions, the former director of Ku
ropean relief said the Soviets had
laid every failure of Socialism on the
blockade and used it hh a stimulus
for raising armies, on the ground that
the Russians were fighting to save
themselves from starvation.
With the blockade removed in large
part, Mr. Hoover said, the "Bolshevist
tyranny" will face coliapso when it
fails to relieve suffering.
Mr. Hoover thought Russia had no
commodities, wheat, llax or cotton, for
export, since starvation is acute in
the larger cities and the people al
most in rug*. The peasants were said
to have suiiicient food.
"I have advocated ever since last
winter." Mr Hoover said. "that the)
blockade on Soviet RussiV. should be ;
removed on everything except arms 1
and munitions, not because 1 believe!
-t would do tin Bolshevist tyranny in !
Huts la any good, but because 1 believe j
the removal of the blockade will take!
out from under them one of their
greatest props For the past year tiiey
have iuid every failure of Socialism
on the blockade. They daily and hour
ly blamed the allied blockade for the
shortage of food, clothing and agricul
tural implements, and the misery that
has arisen therefrom, and they have
succeeded in impressing this upon an
ignorant people. Thej have also used
it as a stimulus to raise armies under
the contention that they are lighting to
Kavc themselves Irom starvation."

National Thrift Week?January 17 to 24
Today Is
"Share With Others"
Day!
From a Sermon by David CL Latshaw, D. D.
'The element In thrift which has the most
fundamental Interest of them all Is 'Share with
others." Thrift without this motive becomes
a sordid thing. It la the church's contribu
tion iu this great propaganda to Bee that this
motive is not omitted in all the plans men
shall mako toward the practice of thrift.
"The moral mastery of wealth depends
npon tho practicc of tho principles of life
lived and taught by .Jeeus Christ.
"In illustration of this point, I wish to
call to your attention the scene in Simon's
house, where the words of tho text were ut
tered. Read Mark iv. 3-11. Text: To what
purpose has this waste of tho ointment been
made? Two types of thought and action
were brought together in Simon's house. One
was represented by the woman with tho gift,
tho other by Judas, the keeper of the bag.
The woman gave. Jydas and some of his
comrades 'had indignation among themselves'
at her giving. They pointed out how the
value of tho ointment might have been given
to the poor; but tho value of the ointment In
commercial terms was evidently their main
interest. 'Above three hundred shillings'
was their quick computation. It hurt their
sordid souls to see it 'wasted' on Jesus.
"Then Jesus mado judgment. 'She hath
wrought a good work on me,' He said, 'she
hath anointed me for my burial.' What a
revelation this must have been to the wo
man! A gift born of love goes to the realms
of lifo where human knowledge cannot fol
low it. Then He said, 'Wheresoever the gos
pel is preached, throughout tho whole world,
that which this woman hath do'no shall be
spoken of as a memorial of her.' In other
words, tho application of this principle of
giving shall be as universal as a principle in
economics.
"Two types of thought and action still
strugglo for supremacy in the world. The
one shares with others; the other gets and
holds for itself. One is the school of Jesus,
the giver; the other the school of Judas, the
getter. One livos, earns, saves, spends, in
vests, shares with others, in tho light of tho
command, 'Inasmuch as ye did it unto one
of tho least of these, my brethren, ye did it
unto me.' Tho other hides in the Bhadow of
the ago-old theory, 'Look out for number ono/
and 'Everybody for himself.' To such all
giving is 'wasto.' Which is right?
"We cannot follow the woman who gave
the ointment, for she drops out of sight. We
do know, however, that her brief hour on tho
stage of life has powerfully influenced the
whole world, as Jesus stated that it would.
Wo can follow tho record of Jesus, 'who camo
not to bo ministered unto, but to minister,#
and to givo Himself as a ransom for many.'
"Bot first, lot us see how tho theory of
Judas worked out in his life. He could not
bear to see tho sentimental folly of this wo
man; for, in his judgment, this was all her
gift had meant. Ho reacted' powerfully in
the other direction. Ho also saw the inevi
table cross in the path of Jobub. A principle
which led to a cross, was an Impractical,
wasteful theory, to Jndas.
"Tho woman gave her ointment, which waa
the measure of her beat; and Jesus waa about
to give His life. In the practice of such a
theory, what was to becomo of Judaa? Aa
the rat gets out of a sinking ship, so Jndas
determined to sever his relation with Jesus.
He waa too clever to becomo the victim of tho
teaching of Jesus, as it worked oat in actual
living. He would live on the well-tried,
world-accopted principle of 'Look out for
number one.' He thought of the friendship
of Jesus; but what was the friendship of a
dying man, aa compared with thirty pieces of
silver, and what the ailver could buy? He
would not lock friendship, if he had the sil
ver. It is Btrango how the 'Look out for
number one* theory will justify every selfish
impulse a man may have. Every panderer
who lives on the weaknesses of men?every
harpy who preys on tho welfare of women
and children?every gambler who tosses the
liven and happiness of others into the game?
hides back of this theory of life.
"Judas acted on hiR theory while he forgot
the price he paid. He haggled with the ene
mies of Jeans over the price of his treachery.
No doubt ho waa clever enough to get what
he considered a good price, and went out,
triumphant.
"But Jndas had not reckoned with his own
soul. He went out alone, for selfishness al
ways nets men apart from their fellows.
Strangely, his mind dwelt more upon his lost
friendship with Jesus than upon the "silver
now in hio bag. By all his selfish reasoning,
he could not keep his mind on what ho had
gained. The solution of his problem by the
well-reasoned logic of selfishness did not sat
isfy his own soul, and be despised himself,
aa generations of men have since despised
him. Judaa was not clever enough to escape
tho penalty of remorse. It drove him to
despair.
"With the information Judaa had given
them, the priests plotted against the life of
Jesus, and chuckled at tho bargain they had
made. Suddenly there rushed out of the
Bhadows of the great temple the dishevelled
figure of Judas. In his despair he had rent
his garments and torn his hair. In frenzy ho
dashed the thirty pieces of silver on the mar
ble floor, and cried out, in a loud voice, 'Take
it back, for it is tho price of Innocent blood!'
Tho answer waa the heartless sneer of all
thoso who barter in human life?'What Is
that to us? Soo thou to that.' And Judan
went out and hanged himself. Jndaa' theory
of 'Look out for number one' had como down
with a crash.
"We can now follow Jesns, who la teaching,
the world that it i9 'better to give than to ro
celvc.' He was taken by His enemies, given
a false trial, and condemned to death on the
cross. Ho did not ufo supernatnral power to
nave Himself, or to punish His enemies. He
gave His lifo for tho world.
"Money is hard to give only because it is a
symbol of life. -In tho logic of selfishness, tho
life of Jesua was wasted; but God put his
Boal of approval on tho life of Jesua, and the
grave could not hold Him. Today men
everywhere see the solution-of tholr problems
in obedience to Him. As the centuries go
by, His authority is to cover tho entire earth.
In tho woman who gave in accordance with
her measure; in Jesus, who gave His life;
and in Judas?we have tho great issues of
lifo. Which Bchool of thinking is right?the
school of Jeaus, or the school of Judaa?
Which kind of living waates and which con
serves life? Every man must answer, and
his answor will determine the kind of a man
he is.
"May we not pat back of all of oor study
and plana for the promotion of thrift, the
high purpose of our Lord, and, in the best
measure of our ability, share with others tho
rewards of thrifty life?"
