Churches Fail in Mission

Eugene, Ore.-Church denomina-
tons as they now exist are doomed,
according to DR.. John Boyd, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church of
Portland, in the opening address be-
fore the interdenominational confer
ence in session Tuesday. 81 cannot
see ray of hope for the present or
CARNATIONS that are attempting re-
ligion. Already there are signs point
ing to broader movement but they
are not within the UNCONVENTIONAL
lines. The old-time Presbyterian
would rather see Christianity 90
down than give up bit of his creed
There is no cohesive church of Jesus
Christ in this state. There is no
leadership to bring the denomina-
tons together. Little communities
have been crowded with churches, and
what do we fnd-ministers shifting

Washington Rather Expects That the
Policy of Germany viii be Quietly
Modified.

Washington, Dec 26,-While tie
lomatic controversy with Germany
over Belgian deportations temporarily
Is in allegiance, officials arc watching
carefully fer any indications Of soft
ening Of the German attitude as re-
suit Of the protests Of the United
States, Spain, Holland, Switzerland
and the vatican. It would occasion no
surprise if the German policy were
quietly modified, despite the govern
ments declaration that the measures
taken were necessary and in accord
ance with International law.
It has been indicated that this gov
ernment's course would be determin
cd by public opinion as it crystaIizes,
but there. are indications that should
the practices complained of be discon-
tinued the American protest would
not be pressed further. Officials
think that if a discontinuance were de-
cided upon the decision would be put
into ecect quietly and probably would
not be accomplished by public an
norncenent Of any diplomatic assur-
ance sthat might seem to represent a
recession from the stand Germany has
openly taken.
Should the state departments in

Indicate, however, that the deDorta-
tons are continuing unchecked, it is
net unlikely that some furtehr step
might be decided upon to emphasize
the American protest. officials are
understood to have been much i'm
pressed by such expressions of ap-
tproval for their stand as we're voiced
at the protest meeting last night in
New ork and by man messages of con
demnation that have reached the white
houes and the state department.
Just what further action the United
States should take, however, is prob
lematical. In some quarters it has
been suggested that the departments
information regarding conditions in
Belgium, said to be at variance with
statements in the German reply to the
American protest, be made public. 1t
is realized however, that such step
might lead to a fruitless and perhaps
embarrassing controversy over facts.
There also have been suggestions
that an effort be made for joint action
with other neutrals to mobilize the
world opinion in protest against the
German policy but from the beginning
