CHICAGO, Sept. S.-To put into
action the plans formulated last
year at the first world convention
of Lutherans at Eisenach, Germany,
is one of the most important tasks
to be undertaken at the fourth
biennial convention Of the United
Lutheran Church in America to be
held at Chicago from October 1880.
Several prominent American Luth.
eran general bodies participated at
the world convention where dele
gates from forty nations recon.
mendeds closer cooperation. The
executive board OF the United
Lutheran Church in America has
Endorsed this plan and the approval
Of the Chicago convention is now
necessary to make the movement

The world convention drew up a
doctrinal statement accepting the
Holy Scriptures as the only source
of church teaching and practice and
recognizing the Lutheran confess
sion as the pure exposition Of God 3
word.
AS a first tentative step toward
worldwide cooperation the Lutheran
world convention organized an exec.
utive committee Of six members in.
Guiding two representatives Of the
American church, Reverend Doctor
]. A. Morehead, New York; the
Reverend Doctor L. w. Doe, North
field, MINI. Doctor Morehead was
made president of this executive
committee.
The aim of this committee IL to
harmonic all Lutheran activities
in works of love, in care of emf
grants and in foreign mission
work. The committee is charged
with the task of preparing for an
other Lutheran world convention.
1t will present suggestions made
to the convention by Doctor. More
head for an exchange of visitors
between Lutheran church organi.
cations in Europe and America.
The Chicago convention Of the
u. L. C. A. will be asked to APP
prove these first steps in Lutheran
world movements and to elect four
of the eight American members OF
the larger standing committee of
the world convention. which will
aid the executive committee.

Great Britain and Russia, wherein
certain concessions were made by
the Soviet in this policy of debt
indicating that this
government is still charting its
policy toward Russia on the basis
of the refusal to liquidate the loan
