Bishop NueIsen, Stationed in
Switzerland, Addresses Fed
eraI Church Council.
STRESSES COOPERATION
Declares Noted Frenchman
Represents Old School of
European Diplomacy.

Stating that he did not believe that
the response to Georges Clemen-
ceau's appeal will be very hearty in
the minds of that crowd which will
control the offices of today and to-
morrow" Bishop John l.. Nuelsen,
Methodist Episcopal Bishop stationed
at Zurich, Switzerland. voiced his
opinion of the results of the EXPIRE
mier's tour Of this country, in an In
terview today.
Bishop Nuelsen, after addressing
the executive committee Of the Fed
eral Council of Churches OF Christ in
America, now in session at the First
Baptist Church, left this afternoon TOR
New York, where he will sail Satur
day for France to resume his church
duties in Europe.
Comes of Old School
"Clemenceau represents typically
the old school of craftsmanship that
ran Europe into the mess it is now"
Bishop Nuelsen stated in his inter
v:cw. There is a great number OF
people in all countries of Europe,
among the younger people and among
those who fought In the war as well
as among the church people. who did
not want to bark back TO those days
but who want q real re-dedication Of
the nations.
"Clemenceau has been the Tiger Of
France for years. He sees the needs
of France. I do not think that he
has an appreciation Of the new feel
ing of the various countries. Not a
wishy-washy appreciation, but IN ap-
probation Of tho fact that Europe is
in an economic and political unity"
Sees Cooperation
In his address before the council,
the Bishop declared that there Is
spirit of cooperation prevailing now
in Europe. He declared that the
Protestant Churches in the countries
at war were weakened during the
war. He pictured Europe as stagger-
ing under war indebtedness He dis
cussed the status Of the churches in
countries where new governments
have been established.
The remainder Of the morning was
devoted toward the hearing OF reports
and discussions regarding the practical
work of tho Council OF Churches Rev
f. L. Taylor of Indianapolis and
President W. o. Thompson. president
OF the Ohio State Federation OF
Churches, led the discussion.
The afternoon session was devoted
to the duty Of the churches regarding
prohibition and law enforcement. Er,
nest II. Cherrington, general secretary
OF the World League Against Alec
holism. was scheduled to be one Of
the principal speakers.
Late this afternoon the council was
to discuss methods to be used in CO.
operating to secure better relations
between the races. The theme at to-
nights meeting will be The Eniarg
