NEW i YORK April 19 —up>— A
temporary setback in retail business
thla week because of adverse wea
ther conditions was reported by Dun
A Brad street in its weekly trade
renew Friday.
"Seasonal trade was retarded dur
ing the week, particularly In distri
butive branches, by adverse weather
conditions which stretched nearly
across the country." the report
stated
"Where rainfall and snow flurries
did not prevail, the dust storms
provided the retarding factor to
the rising demand for merchandise.
Previous estimates of the April vol

general that much of the loss will
be recovered • • •.
"In contrast to the recession In
the distribution of merchandise,
the lowering of production sched

tires and rubber goods, as further
Increases were registered for auto

WASHINGTON April 19—(/P>—
Using a potent weapon—stoppage of
federal funds—the federal govern
ment was embarked Friday on an
intensified effort to force into line
states whose relief or works meas
ures are declared to be unsatisfac
tory.
. Alter striking at Senator Long of
Louisiana and Governor Talmadge
at Georgia by checking the now of
federal funds into their states, of
ficials threatened also to cut off
relief grants wherever states and
coirmumues fail to oontribute what
is considered an adequate amount
toward a 1563.000 000 fund to sup
port unemployable persons during
the next 12 months. This fund is
sought to supplement the govern
ment's 64 000,000.000 work relief ap
propriation.
Harry L Hopkins, the relief ad
rninitsrator. gave notice as well that
he might take the distribution of
relief into his own hands in several
states where he says politicians have
too much connection with It at
present.
As the Louisiana legislature Thurs
day advanced Long's bill to give a
state board supervision over federal
expenditures, and Governor Tal
madge attacked President Roosevelt
as an "extreme radical," Hopkins
and Secretary Ickes moved together
against them. „
Ickes. asserting Long has -hali
tosis of the Intellect" and that he
does not know how to do busines.
with Talmadge. held up four public
works projects in Louisiana and
cancelled as many in Georgia.
Hopkins disclosed he had placed
a man of his own choosing in
charge of Louisiana relief, and ac
cused the Georgia governor of hav
ing failed to make a real effort to
keep public schools open in his state.
Hopkins did not limit his attention
to the controversies in the two
southern states.
He issued a warning at his press
conference that federal relief funds
would be withheld from Pennsyl
\ania unless that state contributed
65.000.000 a month regularly In

SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
—
Text: Lake 34:1-12; John 14:1-6.
The International Uniform San
day School Lesson for April 21.
_
Bv WM. E. GILROT. D. D.
Recently I read a lecture on im
mortality. by a great scholar In one
of one our foremost universities, in
which he stated quite frankly that
whether there was a future life or
not was to him personally quite an
Indifferent matter. He was deeply
interested only in discovering what
men believed concerning immortali
ty. and in studying the psychologi
cal effect of that belief upon their
lives and upon masses of people re
M^’ously and racially.
Some time ago. also. T received a
letter from one whom life had buf
feted very severely. Loss and suf
fering had made the outlook on life
so dark and so full of terror that for
this soul In distress the thought that
there might be an ending to it was
in itself a relief.
Passionately the writer of this
letter expressed the hope that there
was no such thing as life beyond
death.
Few people win be able to take
either of these attitudes, even as
suming that it were desirable. Deep
down in human life there is this
feeling for immortality, his demand
of man for some hope and some evi
dence that the grave is not the end
all. Deeper and higher still In the
reasoned thought of man is a similar
demand.
If life is but a small span, a speck
in eternity, in which man’s highest
aspirations are mocked, in which his
struggles and sufferings have no
meaning, and in which all moral
and spiritual demands are those of a
world where death and decay are the
surest and moat certain of all facts,
manifestly there is little place for
light or Joy.
Paul was speaking as a clear
visioned realist when he said. "If
in this life only we have hope in
Christ Jesus, we are of all men most
miserable "
Deeply unbedded In the Christian
farts and in the Christian message
is a clear declaration concerning the
eternal nature of the good life. No
thing is so certain in the Christian’s
faith as that goodness cannot be
destroyed The essential place of
this faith In immortality in the
Christian religion and the witness to
it are emphasized In many ways.
First, in the story of the resur
rection of Jesus, upon which a part
of our lesson is based. The evidence
from the resurrection of Jesus is not
that merely of ancient records.
Fortunately the resurrection
stories are sufficiently different to
destrov all suggestion that they
were invented by the disciples or
that any collusion existed in claim
ing that Jesus had risen. The evi
dence of the truth of these stories
lies deeper in the reviving faith of
the disciples when they had lost all
heart and hope.
It was at this darkest hour that
they became convinced that thev had
seen their Lord, and that He was a
living, and not a dead Savior The
reality of their faith and their wit
ness are written into the whole his
tory of Christianity, and they cannot
be shaken, no matter what interpre
tation one mi*ht put upon the re
cord of outward events.
The Christian evidence goes fur
ther in the nature of the Christian
life itself It is well evidenced in
history that the blood of martyrs
is the seed of the church, that truth
crushed to earth shall rise again, that
in losing life men find it. and that
in sacrifice is the way of new life
and attainment.
If one doubted the reality of Im
mortality. he might find great hope
in this, if there were nothing else.
But there is a further witness to
faith in Immortality in the words of
Jesus himself and in the experience
that Christians firmly believe they
have found of Christ in their own
hearts. To Jesus himself this in
dwelling presence of the Father was
so real that He looked forward to
the future with the clearness of
faith that took the eternal life for
granted
Tf It were not so." He said, to his
disciples. "X would have told you." ,

Hitler Faces New Crisis
***** * * * * *
On Eve of Birthday That
***** * * * * *
All Germany Will Honor
(By Tba AMOclatad Proas)
On the eve -of his 46th birthday,
Adolf Hitler faces Friday another
of the crises on which he has rock
eted to power.
While loyal nasis throughout the
reich acclaim "Handsome Adolf' of
the drooping forelock and tooth
brush moustache, the reichsfuehrer
himself is plunged deep in deliber
ation over what answer to make
to the League of Nations’ con
demnation of his disregard of the
Versailles treaty.
Among the world’s most power
ful rulers, Hitler stands out Friday
a pattern of paradox. Of humble
Austrian birth, he will be hailed on
his birthday through all Germany;
sponsor of anti-Semitism, he will
be feted in Palestine; dictator of a
nation only recently disarmed, he
will receive fighting airplanes
among his birthday presents.
The planes, a squadron of nine,
were purchased by Hitlers storm
troopers thrqi^gh popular subscrip
tion as a symbol of the rearmed
reich.
To emphasise their meaning,
came the first of the many con
gratulatory birthday messages to
be made public, a loyal address
from the German Officer's Asso
ciation:
“The old army officers who know
what war means therefore do not
wish for its recurrence. We hail the
re-creation of our army, a bulwark
against bolshevist raids and a safe
guard against attack by imperial
ist enemies on an otherwise de
fenseless country." ,
The rearmament at the reich.
including compulsory service, was
but the latest of Hitler's spectacu
lar acts in the last year.
Despite Hitler's anti-Semitic pol
I icies. his birthday will be observ
ed officially in Palestine Satur
day for the first time since his
accession to power. The German
consulate has issued invitations to
notables and members of the Pal
estine government to attend a ce
lebration in the reichsfuehrer’s
! honor.
From his beginnings as the son
of an Austrian customs inspector,
Hitler rose without wealth, with
out influence, to become in turn
an immigrant house painter, a
world war private, and. in 1919, the
leader of a group of seven, nu
cleus of the national socialist party
The beer parlors of Munich were
the nazis’ platforms. The oratory
of Adolf Hitler was the ladder up
which they climbed to the “beer
cellar putsch’’ in 1923. the attempt
to seize power that ended in death
for some of them, jail for Hitler.
He emerged to press his old
campaign, was muzzled unti 11923
and two . J ars later won enough l
followers to take 107 reichstag
seats. In 1932 he ran for the pres
idency. lost to Von Hindenburg.
but polled 13300.000 votes.
He turned down Von Hindeburg’s
offer of the vice chancellorship in
June, 1932, demanding all or no
thing On January 30, 1933, he was
named chancellor.
Thus. Sunday. Hitler wnll cele
brate his 46th birthday as realm
leader of Germany.

MOSCOW. April 19 —<*>»- M
Knr.pin. chief of the Soviet milit
ary air force, issued an eppeal Fri
day through the authoritative or
gan Pravda urging all countries to
unite in face of what he reclared
were German preparations for an
aerial, chemical and bacteriological
war.
• Germany is prepared to use the
worst of poison.” he charged. “It 1*
doubtful that she will stop even at
bacteriological warfare.”
The danger of a bacteriological
attack, the air chief wrote, would
be the greatest for countries separ
ated from Germany by water, since
there would be less chance of dis
ease spreading to Germany. This
observation was generally Inter
preted as intended as a warning to
Great Britain.
“All efforts of all countries in
terested is general peace should be
united to offset this growing dan
ger.” Chripin said. In addition to
asserting that Germany was act
ively preparing for an air offens
ive, he said that dozens of air
dromes are being constructed by
tha Japanese in Manchoukuo, some
of them near the Soviet frontier.
He urged building up a big reserve
force of pilots, citing the United
States reserve as the greatest la
the world.
The air chief forecast that the
next war “will be more cruel than
any to date.*'
