90 NOT TALK PEACE now
Speaker at S. U. l. Conference Says
We're Not Indignant Enough.

Iowa City. July administers, urge
your people to forego the hope of
peace" DR.. Theodore G. Soares told the
church workers assembled at the re-
sligious conference at the State Univer-
sty of Iowa. There is only one way
to face the next war to which we must
send our babies and in preparation for
which Germany now wants peace, and
shat is to fight that war now" Or.
Soares is professor of practical theol-
qogy at the University of Chicago.
THE war loving nations are for
peace. and the peace loving nations are
for war in this struggle" he declared.
N this was an ordinary war, we could
have peace, but it is not. 1t is a con-
spiracy"
( He told how Germany has set out to
double cross" her allies and to add
and control absolutely from Berlin
90, 600, 900 people. She now has in her
hands Austria Hungary, the Balkans,
and Turkey; she has what she went
after. and she wants peace.
Jesus never faced an international
crisis" DR.. Soares said. but he would
scarcely have countenanced a .pusillani-
nous neutrality. 1t has been insisted
that we must fight this war without
hatred. War without great anger
would be an immoral war, for only
deadly anger can Justify war The
weakness of our people is that we are
not indignant enough"
AS for praying for victory, the the
.ologian declared that we are not trying
to capture God as an ally, but are try
ing to follow him. We don't want vic
tory so much as righteousness. he
stated.
This war will never end right" DR..
Soares stated in the course of his lee
ture, until 1t ends that political mon
strosity. the Ottoman empire, which
was the rottenest thing on earth even
before Berlin got her hands on It,"
DR.. Soares' lecture on the religious
attitude in the present world crisis is
one of the seventy five lectures on re-
ligion being given at the university's
graduate school for clergymen.
