Chicago, July 2s (By Associated Press)--A Fundamental change Tn l the spirit and working of our social and industrial life" is necessary to re- store the world to peace and order. according to a declaration of social service principles which has been adopted by the National Council Of the Episcopal church. The declara- ton has been recommended for adop- lion as the fixed policy Of the church by the Episcopal General convention which will meet at Portland, Ore. Sept, $. The Fundamental change proposed can only be effected, accord ing to the declaration, by accepting as the basis of all our relations the principle of cooperation in service for the common good, in place of unre- stricted competition for private or sectional advantage"
 definition Of the meaning of so- cial service. and a platform embody- ing that definition. were adopted at recent meeting of the Department of Christian Social service of the National Council; and by that body

 Right of Employed.
 Those who are in positions in brsi- less professions or any calling in life, where they have the service oe eth rs, whether as wage-earners or in i ny other relation should recognize h right of the employed to full op ortunity for self-development. The 'elfare of human life should be em- y hasized above the value of proper g /. Wages sufficient for wholesome wing should be the return for eff ent service and the more that can e done in making the employer and 1e employees partners in business ,ith a feeling of common and frlend- , interest and mutual service, the etter.
