 With best wishes for a delightful evening, believe me,
 Yours very truly,

International
Policies Scored by
Churches

In connection with = its cam
paign against war, the Federal
Council of Churches today called
all church members in the
United States to "refuse UNI
equivocally to support pagan
international policies or ac-
quiesce in colossal and provaca-
tive preparations for super
pagan wars"
"The substitution of law, con-
Citation and arbitration for
war in the settlement Of inter-
national disputes is a matter of
moral principle" the church
council said in a formal state
ment.
"The war-system of the ma
tons will be overthrow and a
peace system established only
when millions of men and
women take a vital interest in
these questions, place them
above party politics, and ex-
press their convictions in their
votes"
