front headed by Communist Geor
gi Dimitrov. The United States and
Britain had condemned Petkov's
arrest and trial, and asked Russian
approval to bring the matter be
fore the allied control commission.
This Russia refused to do, con
tending it was an internal matter
for the Bulgarian government.
Hungary, outside the Balkans
but in the Soviet orbit of influ
ence, went ahead with plans for
an election Aug. 31. Her minister
of information termed unfounded
United States charges that the
Comm unist-dominated govern
ment was not acting to secure elec
tion privileges to other opposition
parties. A Moscow newspaper said
the United States and Britain
were trying to apply economic
pressure on Hungary before the
election.
In Paris preliminary confer
ences were continuing on methods
of implementing the Marshall plan
for possible U. S. aid to European
countries in return for fresh ef
forts by those countries to solve
their troubles. A customs union
was one of the proposals suggested
by France. Countries under Rus
sian influence have refused to par
ticipate in the Marshall plan talks.

The Soviet has just acknowl
edged with thanks a shipment of
5,000 New Testaments and 100,000
Gospels in Russian, sent by the
American Bible Society. Also in
cluded were 500 New Ttestaments
in Greek, which went to theologi
cal students. These are the first
copies of the Scripture the Bible
Society has been permitted to
place in Russia in many decades.
Prayers for the Council of For
eign Ministers meeting in Moscow
were broadcast by shortwave from
New York City to Europe, includ
ing Russia and Africa, by the Lay
men’s Movement for a Christian
World. Wallace C. Speers, chair-1
man of the movement which is]
composed of “just ordinary people
trying to find our way in a com-1
plex and confused world,” pre-1
faced the weekly broadcasts with:
the statement: “We have reached a!
critical point in human history'
where mankind must turn to God,!
or perish.”
Warden Lewis E. Lawes, died
recently at the age of 63, after
serving for twenty-one years of
the administrator of Sing Sing
(New York) prison. He is credited
with bringing the penitentiary out
of medieval darkness and finding
ways and means of aiding the
35,000 men who came under his i
control to redeem themselves. One
of the first reforms he introduced
was to abolish the privileged class
that caused so much rancor in the
prison. He became the prisoner’s
guide as well as guard.

The world’s worst reclamation
problem is probably in Honan
Province in China, where 2,000
refugees are returning daily to the i
land from which they were driven |
in 1938. Only a vast desert dust,
bowl remains of what was once;
the richest farm land, relief offi-i
cials report. Chinese blew up the I
dikes holding the great Yellow
River in an attempt to halt the
Japanese advance; now the land is
covered with sandy silt deposited
in the past nine years. Refugees
must have food, but there is none
to be had until they can reap their
first harvest, and most of them re
turned without seed, tools, or food.
New Zealand is suffering from a
period of shortages said to be more
grave than at any time during the
second world war.
