The attitude Of the church toward
war was the subject of eager debate
yesterday.
A resolution as read left to indi-
vidualS the right to act in case of
war as their conscience directed. but
declared that the church as a church
would separate itself from the carry
ing on of any war. Judge John Mar
shall of Kansas told the committee
that the latter clause should be
omitted
When the church says it won't
fight for the right when right is as
sailed by wrong" Judge Marshall
said, "the church can get ready to
close its doors. without war we
wouldn't have been here except as
Moham medans. This declaration would
withdraw the church when the nation
is in peril; if war really came, your
declaration would vanish into thin
air in fifteen minutes. You can
make a church stand by when the
country is fighting to preserve the
right"
Not Tool of State.
An addition to the last clause ex-
cepting war that was 'in self-defense
or in defense of humanity" was sug-
gested by o. w. Fifer of Indianapolis.
Other committee members declared
that war was necessarily unChris-
tian. The church should not be used
as a tool of the state" DR.. George
Elliott of Detroit said, "and the
church ought to pledge itself not to
support war as war"

DEMANDS MILLERAND QUIT.
Radical Press Insists President
Keep Promise.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1924.
PARIS, May 13.-The Poincare gov
eminent is almost certain to be sue
ceeded by a government headed by
the radical leader, Edouard Herriot,
as premier and minister of foreign
affairs, with Painieve, Violette and
Daladier as ministers, and if the So
cialists consent to participate in the
government, which is probable, then
Blum, Boncourt and Varenne also
will hold portfolios.
The newspapers Of the Left are all
loudly calling for President Millerand
to resign because of his prediction
statement that if the Left won he
would quit the presidency. The Left
interpreted this as an unworthy and
undignifed electoral maneuver, en-
tirely contrary to the high tradition
of the chief magistracy, and it will
not forgive.
NJ Millerand's friends seem to be
pressing him to stay, but as far as
now can be foreseen the pressure OF
the Left against him will be so
strong and sustained that unless he
resigns within the next couple of
months his position will be exceed
ingly difficult.
