COUNCIL TAXES UP
 CHURCH OBLIGATION ! ID WAR STRICKEN
Situation European Churches Reported Critical, and Re- Iigious Prosecutions De-
 cIared HideouS
By Associated Press

| Boston, December 4.-The obligation of l the American church to those of Europe stricken by the war and it's aftermath was one of the several subjects consid- cred today at the quadrennial meeting of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The discussion was led by the Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, chairman of the councils commission cn relations with religious bodies in Eu- rope and by the commission on relations with France and Belgium, headed by Ar thur J. Brown.
 Dr. Boynton-s report described the sit- uation of European churches as critical, saying that the religious prosecutions which are hideously in evidence today. sometimes of Roman Catholics. of Pres byterians, of Baptists, but always upon occasion of Jews, present one of the most revolting exhibits and outrageous
 nfamies of current history. It makes the business of our American churches' unscathed by war. strong i'll financial re- sources and influential regarding pupic opinion, important and imperative with relation to the sister churches in Eu- rope"
 The report of the commission on rela- tions with France and Belgium said the aid that should be given to the Protes- tant churches of those countries was not a charity but a duty, because It IS ap- solutely indispensable, not only to the reconstruction of Europe, but to the moral and spiritual conditions of the world, that those churches be made strong and vigorous" The commission reported it as highly desirable that the existing interdenominational character or this aid be maintained, and that Ameri can churches should recognize the au- tonomy of French and Belgian churcnes and respect their judgment in questions constantly arising
 Following a statement of famine con ditions in central and southeastern Eu- rope by Herbert Hoover, the couhcii voted to send a message to the Protes- tant churches of the United States, urs- ing immediate gifts to save the nVes oi millions of starving children.
