LEADING EXPERTS
 EXPRESS BEL |EF
 IN DARWIN THEORY.
No Scientific Fact More Strongly Supported by Ev- ldenGe-- Protest Attempt
 to Limit Teaching
By Associated Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 26.-A resolution affirming that mo sclen- tific generalization is more strongly supported by thoroughly tested evil dences than is that of organic evo- lution," was adopted today by the Council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The resolution expressed the conviction that any legislation attempting to limit the teaching of the doctrine of evolution would be "a profound mis- take"
 1t cited an attempt in several states to prohibit the teaching of evolution In the public schools and the wide publicity given to assertions that the theory of evolution was a mere guess which leading scientists were aban- doning. It called attention to the fact that the American association had a membership of more than il 1000 persons, including the Ameri- can authorities in all branches of science.
 There is no ground whatever" the resolution said. speaking of the scientific evidences of the evolution of plants and animals and man, for the assertion that these evidences constitute a mere guess. :"
 All Scientists Convinced
 It affirms that the evidences in favor of the evolution of man are "sufflcient to convince every scien- list of note in the world" that the theory of evolution Is one of the most potent of the great influences for good that have thus far entered into human experience" and that to limit it's teaching "could not fail to injure and retard the advancement of knowledge and of human welfare by denying the freedom of teaching and inquiry which is essential to all progress"
 The resolution was drafted by a committee consisting of Edwin Grant Conkiin of Princeton university, chairman; Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the board of trustees of the American museum of natural his- tory and Charles B. Davenport, df- rector of Cold Springs Harbor Sta ton of the Carnegie institute. The council consists of the president of the American association. the perma- nent secretary, general secretary and treasurer; the vice presidents and secretaries of the various sec ton, representatives of each of the forty or more affiliated societies and eight elected members. The council Is empowered to make formal pro- nouncements on behalf of the associ- atlon. It is not customary for the delegates to take further action on any such resolutions.
