NORTHERN BAP-
lists PLAN STRICT
BUSINESS BASIS

Denver. Colo. April os.-When the
Northern Baptist convention assem-
bles here on May y for a weeks ses-
sion. it will have before it a proposal
ton on a strict. business basis with
specialists in charge of each branch
OF Baptist activities. A plan of f.
nancing by a budget system with one
nation wide campaign 10 raise
money for the years work also is to
be suggested. The plan is a revolu-
ton in church arrangements and ma
,ional leaders in the denomination
already have shown a divergence of
opinion regarding it.
The efficiency plan is a result of
work by the National Committee of
Northern Baptist Laymen appointed
a. the last convention. 1t contemp-
lates the creation of a general pro-
motion board of 40 members chosen
from each state and each national or
ganization in the denomination. This
board would meet once each year. to
consider the needs of all organiza-
tons and to pass on their yearly budg-
et Of expenditures which would be
submitted to the board of promotion.
The subscription plan Of finance is
one submitted by the Interchurch
Federation Of New York city for a
subscription campaign similar to the
United War Work Campaign. in
which thirty religious denominations
would participate. The money would
be apportioned among the demonina-
tons on basis Of membership and
would 60 TO carry on the world pro-
gram of missions. reconstruction and
religious education.
Opposition already has appeared to
this plan and a convention fight on
the measure is freely predicted by
ministers who have followed devel-
opments.
Ten thousand Baptist churches in
every state north of the Mason and
Dixon line are represented in the
Northern Baptist convention. The
local committee opened headquarters
in Denver in March TO begin prepa-
rations and every available room in
hotels and private families has been
listed so that all the delegates may
find shelter.
Other important measures to come
before the convention are plans for
reconstruction work in devastated
Europe. Missionary leaders have rec
commended assistance to churches in
Europe in rebuilding their houses Of
worship. A great educational cam
paign in connection with foreign mis-
sionary work also has been recon-
mended. together with an elaborate
educational plan in this country. 1t
is said that the church's world pro-
gram will be on far greater scale
than any previously attempted.

In a recent address at Boston
Secretary Of Commerce Redheid en-
tered a long series of complaints
because appropriations are not
made in amounts such as he deems
adauate for development Of certain
industries and public interests. such
as dye manufacturing, non ferrous
metals. potash, forest preservation.
saving of waste timber. develop
ment of water power, use Of Ash
skins for leather. chemical produc-
ton. food fish. inland waterways,
etc. After reading over the long
list one cannot help feeling that
Mr.. Reddeld has lost all confidence
in the initiative. intelligence and
courage Of the American individual.
He can see going to waste untold
millions Of wealth because Ameri-
can ingenuity neglects opportuni-
ties 20 plainly apparent to his eyes.
In making lumber, he says. We
waste half the value known to ex-
list in the tree. Accepting his as
sertions at their face value. there
are literally. billions of wealth lying
around loose for any wide-awake
American to pick up like gold mug
gets on the dump OF an Eldorado.
But Americans neglect their oppor-
tunities and the only way Redfield
can see to make use Of the wealth
is to make huge government appro-
priations and send government "ex-
perts" out to gather in the sheckels.
Mr.. Redfields pess m t i c
harangue may mislead some peo-
pie. but i, will not deceive anyone
who stops to think. II the govern
ment has experts who are able to
make a profit GU. of that alleged
waste of one half Of the timber.
those experts can find plenty of
private capitalists who are anxious
to employ their services. There
isn't a lumberman in the country
but will pay the expert" a better
salary than the government will
offer, if the expert" can demon
strate his ability 10 save that waste
lumber and make a profit on it. II
was private enterprise. not govern
ment appropriations. that estab-
lished the meat packing business on
a basis that saved all the hog ex-
cept the soueal. Whenever there is
opportunity to make money tan
ming shark skins. there won't be
need OF a government expert 20 ,ii-
rect the work.
American industry has made
enormous strides in the past. The
American government has made
enormous appropriat to aid de-
velopment. Whenever Mr.. Eed6eld
can point to achievements of gov
eminent experts tina; make any
thing like a favorable comparison
with the achievements of private
enterprise. he will have no trouble
in getting increased appropria
tons. But. for the present. the
American people prefer to en-
courage individual initiative, be-
lieving that there is room at the
top and that the Edisons. the
Burbanks. the Schwats, the Garys.

cess through the hope Of success
and its rewards rather than through
the incentive of monthly check
