into the meltingpot of European trou- ble, hopes and fears by an American statesman
 America become therefore the one great hope of Europe, and the Euro pean peoples were in this hope much less hampered than the statesmen who know the limits of human power and the unfathomablc depth of the worlds actual problem.
 Their hopes may be shaped in the following three points:
 l First. the European Christians have | the impression that American Chris ] tianity is a power which can take the initiative in national and international . politics more immediately and more strongly and can effect them more more powerfully than n any other country Looking toward America nourish tha hop, that a great and in- dependent people, Christian in it's deepest aims, will inaugurato a new and effective policy of idoalism. that powerful Christian nation will ho'p thn old world to overcome the spirit ur hate and .n'gishur.s by tho spirit of brothrrly fellowship. that the ere .tiy" power of tlo Au r.cn nation will hop 'hn European peoples 'o o-- Dr,caJn themselves from tr. nutaag''. mcnts of autago0iattc national and ra. oiu interests and will undertake foe r.tb.r with them a sprfou. md full responsibility for tho reconstruction of a rrw world
 "Socond. the European churches hope that American fdoali+m. tmbloI with the Spirit of Christ. will give the. world a convincing example of a great rcdccming social action which will be opposed effectively and inspiriag'y to BoIshcyistic action X number of other world problems are ccntorcd in the social question and can be at tackled only from this side Russia is actually the field of the greatest social experiment the world ever saw. A powerful constructive will is at work in the organization of new society. But it is the constructive power of an anti.Christian and unjust spirit of evil which first dared to attack the solu- tion of the problem. The European Christian. awake to the necessity of the time. waits for Counter-eXperi- mcnt born out of the courage of the conscience of an independent and so- cialIy democratic Christian nation
 Third, the European churches saw with gratitude and admiration the wonderful relief work done by their American sistcrchurchcs. and other relief agencies Missions of European hearts will never forget that America fed our hungry and starving children, rebuilt our churches. and was the good Samaritan healing the wounds which the war has made h this regard American protcstauti@m has a unique and wonderful opportunity for orc great and concerted action which will give alI efforts toward union rr.- mcndou- impetus such a+ nothing rr.n could give. and will give una.ntahln evidence oD the unity of Christian "IIa aud work"
 "Thosn arc the common hope. of I.u. ropoon Christianity | am bound ro say that a certain disappointment has been growing these last two years The isolation into which America seemed 10 slip back woald seem to prove that America is nor willing to share the responsibility for the new constructive tasks which are before the world The European peoples were perhaps too far away to under stand why the American statesmen were hampering the efficiency of the League of Nations, why they withdrew i in so many problems of worldwide i'm portance from the collaboration with ! European organizations. Still hope is prevalent
 1 The present conference on roduc- { ton of armament will decide definite 1 Iy if European churches and the masses behind them will have to bury all hopes coming from human power and be left alone with the hope they put in the Lord Still they do not despair and are looking toward Amer ica as to the one nation which can give the world a great and convincing eN ample of unsclrishncss and of leading idcalism in politics.
