LAUD FUND DRIVE
Of FEP|SC0PAuANS
Laymen Manifest Interest in
Campaign to Broaden
Church Work.

Interest in the nationwide cam
paign of the Episcopal Church for
broadening church work is being
manifested not only by the bishops
and clergy. but by a large number Of
distinguished churchmen and business
men in America, according to a state-
ment issued last night.
Among Those Interested.
Among these are Samuel Mather Of
Cleveland. Ohio, one of the leading
steel manufacturers of the country;
William Fellows Morgan of New York
and Lewis B. Franklin, who for some
years was vice president of the
Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, and who was director of or
ganization of the five liberty loans
during the war.
"the ideals and plans of the nation
wide campaign are SO admirable and
SO timely that scarcely any statement
could exaggerate It's Importance. not
only to the Episcopal Church, but to
all Christian civilization"
Immediately following the compile
tion of victory loan work Mr.. Frank.
lin investigated the business methods
and ideals of the campaign. He was
SO pleased with the movement, the
statement asserts. and was So salts
fed with its conception and execution
that he consented to give his whole
time without compensa lion until its
completion to organizing the every
member canvass which is to follow
the period of education and organi-
zation.

Should Understand Action.

81 wouldn't stop to characterize this
sort Of duplicity and double dealing,
but I say that when we have had
that sort of experience with the men
in whose power we are about to place
ourselves under this treaty, that we
ought to know just what we are go
ing to do before we undertake it.
s'Whenever humanity calls, when
ever mankind Is in distress, or the
anguished cries of civilization are
heard, I would have our country In
the future do just what 1t has done
in the past. because it will answer to
that cry and do its full duty by peo-
pies. and humanity. But what 1 say
to you is that we at Washington are
fighting for this: When the time ana
the call comes for acting, we: as
Americans, shall determine that time
and mode Of acting without the Brit
ish empire or any other nation de-
Gliding for US.
'srhat is the Issue. Not that we want
to live isloated from all the rest OF
the world, but when you put US at
the conference at Geneva in secrecy
with eight foreign nations, In reality
its only FIVE, because it's the big hve
that are going to rule the world IN
the future-you put US there with one
minority vote under the control and
power Of the other four great nations
Of the earth, and you make them de.
tcrmine the character Of our action ana
the time Of our action.
