ger. pastor OF tho church. gave an
address on conditions following the
WORLD war. lie said in substance.
During the heat OF the past po-
litical compaign the fundamental
POINTS Of reconstruction were sub
merged. Economic conditions which
no civilized nation could wholly *
more must be met and carefully
worked out just as It took years
of thought for reconstruction after
the Civil war.
America can not shun this re-
sponsibility. Our horizon has
broadened during the war. We can
not live within ourselves. Belgium,
France, Great Britain Austria,
Italy. Germany and the United
States have had their debts multi
piled many times. The United
states is interested commercially
with other countries and this fact
accounts for our present business
depression. More Of It is coming.
our export business has shrunk.
The burden Of the war has fallen
upon the people least able 10 beac

Must Regard Others.
"Our money values must be made
TO balance with the money values
of other nations before we can hope
10 stop the social unrest. We are
drifting instead OF shaping the
course of our national life. The
economic solidarity is the same as
racial solidarity. We must regard
the well-being of other nations. We
must all pull together TO avoid
repetition of another world war.
"The great statesmen Of the
world would say that it is inevitable
unless we can meet the situation.
America can not ignore these con
ditious because she is economically
tied TO every nation 1t was this
which drove her into the war. The
United States must put herself
shoulder to shoulder with other ma
tions 10 prevent war.
National fanatics are the worst
things 10 face and mean destruction
of nations and industry. American
citizens have a great Fart to play
The nations Of the world must
identify themselves together 10
meet the situation. Racial and ma
tional hatred must be abolished.
some nation must be a leader in
righteousness and an arbiter Of
what is just. Our nation is trusted
by all nations because OF her kin
with all other nations. For the
United States to ignore the interna-
tional aspects which stand out so
distinctly is to leave the world help
less"
