GATHERING
WILL DISCUSS WAR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-P)--
The question to be answered by Amer
lean churches at the national study
conference on the churches and world
peace converting here tomorrow, says
DR.. Sydney L. Gulick. conference Sec
rotary, is whether "they are or are
not essentially pacifist."
In a statement today DR.. Gulick set
forth these questions as confronting
the 30 communions to be represented
in the conference:
"What do the churches of America
as a whole think about war? And
about peace? Are they or are they
not essentially 'pacifist? Were an
other war to come, would they do as
they did in 1917 and 1918? Do they
have any distinctive message about
war and any distinctive program for
establishment of permanent peaceg
DIR. Gulick added the opinion that
if the churches ''fail to say or do any
thing significant" as to these ques-
tions at the conference which he be-
lieves will mark an epoch" in their
history, their ''lack Of vision and theiy
impotence will doom them to neglig-
ible and diminishing place in the on
going life of the world.
