from which war will come just as
surely as fever comes from an I'M

In the Commission on International
Justice and Good Will, the churches
have had an Indispensable agency
through which to, voice. in a visor-

''It is OF course. necessary. said
Dr. Mcfarland. that the Federal
Council should have headquarters To-
the natoin's business life. There has
been, however. an earnest effort to
find the way of geographical extern
sion, first through the establishment
of the Office in Washington, and more
recently through the establishment of
headquarters for the western section
In Chicago.
1T is hoped that this outreach may
be further extended and also that
there may be similar centerS In the
Far West and In the South.
For the most part, however. the
of the cooperative move
meflt has been through the formation
of location of local federations and
councils Of churches. During these
Is years, about so city and State
have been thus developed

local conditions and processes Of edu-
