SQUAWKERS SLAPPED SEATTLE. - Without pulling punches, George MacDonald, an aviation engineer back from nine months on the world's war fronts, contrasted the bravery and sacrifices of American fighting m'en abroad today with profit-seekers, labor union "aquawkers" at home. In contrast, the engineer said, he saw Americans working in 130uegree heat in Egypt "until some of them cracked an ran around blindly until they dropped."

A people who bided their time 50 years to attack the United States will have the patience to try to win that billion supporters. Then its "Asia for Asiatics" will blossom out into a challenge of white power everywhere.

Since colored -people are in the majority, and dwell in lands rich with the materials from whiich war machines are manufactured, the possibility that Japan has disclosed only part of its purpose needs our attention and counter· effort now! Where the war aim is territory, or trade or prestige, peace comes whenever the victor establishes his mastery. In the typical war the weaker fighter can surrender his contention. But there can be no surrender if men fight because one is white and another colored.

The last enjoys the patronage of "hold-up men," burglars, gangsters, rapists! They do their diabolical, damnable, deeds with a smile. Incurable addicts, and few are curable, should be exterminated.

Th'ere were many practical, as well a3 spiritual things said in this sermon. When you stop and think of this God fearing man and his versatile family, you must know that God Is with them. In one of his phrazes, "that God promises to provide for moe," how true, to all of God's children he will provide. When one door is shut two will open for you. Ofttime:> when the Devil will make someone act indifferent in Church, it will do two things.
