The Federal Council Of churches
acts for peace the very moment Its

Endorsing the general principle OF
the Bryan peace treaties. the council
recommends a universal treaty between
nations recurring definite time to
elapse between the declaration Of war
and the beginning Of actual war; that
in the interval a commission OF sigma
tory powers make investigation Of war
causes and publish a report 10 the
world; and then that signatory pow
ers agree TO enforce the observance
OF the agreement upon the nation that
transgresses IL by immediate military
intervention. The council finally urges
nothing that might draw US into the
present conflict because at least one
first rate power must remain TO ar
bitrate.
President Wilson Is asked by the
council TO recommend a Saturday ana
