WARDEBT BURDENS
Allied Council Wants World
ParIey to Consider Eco
nomic Problems.

Asking the United States to unite in
an economic conference with the lead
ing nations Of the world to do in the
realm Of industry and finance what
has been done SO well by the Wash
ington conference in the realms of DO
lftical understanding and in the re-
duction Of armament. the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America has published an official
statement regarding Americas eco
nomic obligation to her associates in
the late war"
1t urges that the debts of various
countries to this country be handled
individually. and that, in accordance
with the dictates of justice and the
principles of economic law, the United
States do everything possible to re-
lieve the other nations from their
economic difficulties. and so help re-
store peace and prosperity to the
world.
1t says, in part:
Would Tighten Debt Burdens.
'Tn view of the enormous losses of
life and property incurred by the ma
tions associated with the United
States in the late war. during the
period when the United States was
preparing to do her part;
"And in view of the fact that the
sums loaned to them by the United
States were expended in this country
for food and ammunitions by which
they were enabled to continue the
struggle. until America was duly
equipped;
1--WE believe that under suitable
conditions. each case being handled
by itself. the dictates Of Justice and
the priciples Of economic law. require
that the United States should consider
and adopt some suitable adjustment of
these debts OF the nations to the
United States in order that they shall
be. as far as possible, relieved from
their economic difficulties.
World Farley Urged.
Because of the world war, the
United States became in a moment of
time the most powerful and the rich
est of all the nations. But power and
wealth bring special opportunities and
responsibilities. The recovery Of eco
nomic stability by the nations Of the
world. and especially Of Europe, de-
pends, we are assured. largely on
what America does, or fails to do.
we, therefore, ask that the United
states unite In an economic confer
ence OF the leading nations to do in
the realm of industry and finance
what has been so well done by the
Washington conference in the realms
Of political understanding and in the
reduction of armaments."

PRESIDENT SENDS LETTER
TO CHURCH CONFERENCE
Bishop Mcdowell Reads Message
From Mr.. Harding to M. r.
Church,

At the recent national conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church al
Detroit, Bishop William F. Mcdowell
head Of the Washington district OF
the NJ. E. Church. read a letter from
President Harding. 1t was as follows
.! beg to convey to your great
gathering in Detroit the as
surance Of my sincere regret that the
pressure of public business makes it i'm
possible for me to accept your kind in
vitation to be present. You and your
church will understand without any
words from me how deeply and ssin-
cerely I appreciate and sympathize
with the spirit and purpose Of your
meeting.
Your centenary movement had
more than ordinary interest for me.
I have lived for many years in the
county adjoining Wyandotte, in which
John Stewart preached to the Indians
so long ago. and have visited many
times at Upper Sandusky, the spot
made sacred to the Methodist Church
by his significant labors.
''You did well to commemorate that
early movement by large. world-w wide
plans for the establishment of Chris
tianity more firmly at home and more
extensively abroad. 1t was we'll that
this larger devotion of the church
found expression in the time of the
worlds most serious disturbance and
sorest need. l have been glad to learn
of all that your people are planning
everywhere. and earnestly desire for
all endeavors the largest success.
The world was never before in
such need Of right morals, right
ideals. right relations among men and
nations right spirit for meeting un-
paralleled conditions. and sound re-
ligion in personal, social and public
life. If the churches fail in their high
and holy tasks there is small hope
for civilizations. The churches must
not fail. The Methodist Episcopal
Church must not fail. Whoever halts
the churches must march forward
more swiftly than they have DONE
Il send to your bishops. your dis
trict superintendents and pastors and
your splendid laymen my sincerest
greetings and best wishes for the
meeting at Detroit, and for the work
your church. with other churches, is
trying and planning to do in all the
countries"

SALOON FIXTURES OF VALUABLE
WOODS MAY BE MADE INTO PULPITS

any establishment found to be
dispensing liquors. Lacking
place to store these articles, the
officials have piled them in a va
cant place outdoors. thus creating
what the police call the city's
mahogany dump"
Judge William NJ. Heston of the
recorders court has decreed the
collection be cut into firewood and
given to the poor. Others propose
the water-soaked pile be salvaged
and that the wood be used to
make pulpits and judges benches.
Worth Little as FfrewOod.
For display purposes the wood is
worth a fortune. but for firewood
1t is no better than the more pie
bian varieties. City officials say
that to cut the bars into stove
wood would cost more than it
would be worth for that purpose.
Therefore the proposal of Judge
Heston will not be put into effect.
for time at least.
While a solution is being reached

which the mahogany dump" is To-
Gated is frantically urging the Off
cialS to take it away" as he
