Episcopal Canon On Divorce A renewal of the prolonged struggle to liberalize the canon of the Protestant Episcopal Church governing tne remarriage of divorced persons will take place at the triennial general convention of the church in Philadelphia in September.

The joint commission chat has been studying the church laws governing matrimony since the last previous general convention announces that it has unanimously agreed upoii a report proposing a new canon that would assert that every case should be judged on its own merits. Similar efforts to amend the present canon, which forbids Episcopal clergymen to officiate at the remarriage of divorced persons, except in the case the innocent party to a divorce or. the ground of adultery, and then only after one year had elapsed and the bishop 0 the diocese has given his permission, have been defeated at every triennial convention in more than a decade. Under the new canon, members of the church i good standing, whose marriage has been annulled or dissolved by a civil court, or who wish to marry a non-member of the church whose marriage has been dissolved, would have the right to apply i the bishop or ecclesiastical authority of his diocese for a judgment as to his marital status in the eyes of the church, or for permission to bo married by a clergyman of the church, provided a year had elapsed since the civil judgment. immigration Bars Down With good weather th first boatload of European refugees to be formally admitted under immigration quotas to residence in the United States will sail from Bre- merhaven, Germany, around May I.

Within twelve months, officials predict, between 75,000 and 100,000 of destitute war casualties will find freedom and a new life on out- shores. The President's December directive established top preference in immigration for "displaced persons" among all the war-torn countries of Europe. Many of those who do come to this country will become wards, temporarily at least, of the Committee for the Care of European Children. This organization, of which Marshall Field, Chicago publisher, is the principal sponsor, has posted a corporate bond with the Department of Justice guaranteeing to care for all children sent, regardless of nationality or religion. But, however generous an impulse the President and the American people may have toward Europe's sufferers, there is one automatic brake to bo reckoned with.

Refugees as well as non- refugees who seek permanent residence here are subject to quota restrictions. Immigration quotas are set by statute. For the world as a whole the quota for this fiscal year is 157,774. Since not more than 10 percent of the quota may be admitted in any month, it-will be -possibte-fw only about 7,400 to eome in between now and July 1. Thereafter he number to be admitted will be determined by what new quotas are fixed.

So the fulfillment of the President's refugee program, even with- the limits already imposed, may well depend upon what action Con- takes between now and uly 1. BLACK MARKET COMPETITION This World Of Suspicion The formation of the United Na- ions organization was accompanied by buoyant hopes on the part of niauy that it would promote an era of great good feeling between nations. There was a 'eeling that the strong measures to bo taken against possible ag- jressors would make war so unlikely that the world would feel full confidence in permanent peace. These hopes have not been quite ulfilled. A marked division of opinion has developed between the nited States and Britain on one side as democratic nations, and Russia as a dictator ruled country.

There are strong feelings of sus- ricion in our country as to the in- of Russia, and apparently he Russians have strong feelings of suspicion of the intentions of he United States and Britain. A many people fear these suspicions will eventually lead to war. Russia is reported to be planning or a very large peace time army. Vhat does she mean to do with hose great armed forces? Russia ppears to feel that only by the great armed secure. Yet here is no country that has the east idea of attacking Russia.

What can he done to quiet these iispkions, and to give the Amerian and British people confidence hat Russia does not contemplate iny war, and to give the Russians onfidence that the United States nd Britain have no hostile feelings owarri her? Perhaps if our people understood' Russia better, it would help to smooth out these relations. The terrible losses in manpower which Russia suffered in World War II, and the awful destruction of her possession of this power can she be TODAY'S TALK By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS Author of "You "Just Among Friends" The Tonic Of Wildness There must be a strange tonic effect to wildness, else so many would not seek it. I have listened to the talk of early pioneers, and to those who have hunted and adventured in Long wild places, and this talk is always fascinating and instructive. Men complain about the simplest of et vere: Mr Mrs. the ordinarv rmitinp nf hut- 0 Gardner Moats and daughter, San- under the ordinary routine of life, but they seem to welcome the test of their courage and endurance, when adventuring in the wild.

Is it because Nature is such a wonderful host? Hudson, the 'naturalist, was never so happy as when riding his horse across the miles of the Argentine pampas. Almost wild in his nature, he always felt at home among all of the forces of nature, welcoming every inhabitant, whether bird or beast. Getting next to the elemental things of life is always stimulating, and revealing as well It is from them that we build. There is so much to be observed, and learned, in every wild country. Nature there seems to be so blunt in all her expressions.

Something dramatic is always being enacted. Someone is always dreaming of the unexplored. In wild nature every living thing takes advantage of every element and every aid. I keep in my memory a great tree that I looked upon in a wild state of existance. It had grown about a big stone, until it had almost held it within its trunk, its roots looking like arms that one day may completely encircle the stone.

Yet its life is dependent upon the earth and upon its rich substances, for long life. Everything co-operates in wild nature. Healthy excitement is good medicine. Getting away from the usual, and experiencing the unusual, is what we all need in frequent doses. And now that the vacation months grow closer, what happier plan than to decide upon an adventure into the wilds of nature? A fishing trip, or a camping trip, or just a trip to spots where there is little habitation, so that the mind and spirit may explore, and the body grow stronger and healthier under the sun and the whip of the wind.

The change of air and scenery, and the introduction into many oi: the whims of the wild, works wonders with every member of our human kind!

FED'l-STATE-LOCAL GOVTS. Washington Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON model for my boy, despite all this, because shortly thereafter he managed to harness the exuberance and worked his way through Amherst by peddling typewriters, selling insurance and tutoring other students. He paid his college expenses every cent of the way. And he Douglas MacArthur also demonstrated by standing first in his class at West Point a boy's start in college sets the pace for what comes after. Stone served for three years as president of his class, attained Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year, managed the Amherst Student, was voted by his classmates "the member who would become most famous." Perhaps Calvin Coolidge, who was one class behind Stone, remembered that record when Cooi- eatipnited from the Vice-Presidency into the White around for a new Attorney General and finally selected his old college-mate who had worked so hard and done so well at Amherst.

Later, Stone worked his way through Columbia Law School, and finally was graduated despite forced interruptions when he recouped his expenses by teaching school in Vermont. And during all the fame that followed, Stone never forgot those beginnings, never was too busy to help the youngsters who, like himself, struggled to finish college. Stone the Teacher One of these was William 0. Douglas, a penniless law student at Columbia when Stone was Dean of the- Law School. Most busy college executives would have given Douglas a five or 10-minute pep talk; but Dean Stone devoted two hours to telling Douglas of his own problems in getting through college and in advising him what to do.

Every year the Chief Justice brought a Columbia Law graduate to Washington to be his secretary.

This, of course, was a definite inconvenience, since it meant breaking in a new man every year. But the Chief Justice wanted to help launch young men into the world of law. And every week his home was a mecca for young people in and out of government who crowded around the Chief Justice at Mrs. Stone's Monday "At Homes." He was a source of inspiration to young artists, young writers, young musicians. Once, after listening to Yehudi Menuhin, Stone dropped by to see his old friend the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and told him how this youth had kept a great' audience spellbound.

"Ah," said Holmes with a sigh ''what a triumph! I sometimes think I would give ten years of my life to be able to play like that" "But some of us," countered Stone, "would give ten years of our lives to be able to write opinions like yours." To which Holmes, with a twinkle in his eye, replied: "My boy-Stone was then over God sees through all his modesty." The human tear gland (lachry. mal) is about the size of an al- raond.
