After many years OF prayer and
work, the World Conference on
Faith and Order is to assemble, or
rather a World Conference. for it
viii probably be the first Of a ser
les OF such meetings. The meet
ing is to be held at Lausanne.
Switzerland from the third until
the twenty-first OF. August, 1927.
The purpose Of the Conference
is not to arrange terms of reunion
between the different Communions.
This, Of course, it could not do.
Only the Communions themselves,
acting through their own govern
ing councils, could take such ac-
ton. The aim of the World Con-
ference is the frank discussion OF
differences. in the spirit of love and
brotherhood, with the hope that
through such discussion misunder-
standings may be removed, differ
ing positions may be more clearly,
and justly, understood, and the
way may be opened for definite
steps towards reunion. In what
other way can differences be ex-
planned and removed. except
Certainly it should stir our souls
to see the Christian Churches of
the world, after centuries Of es-
arrangement, sending their repre-
sentatives to meet not for contro-
yersy but for, conference to face
their differences honestly but in
the spirit of sympathy and love,
with the desire that Our Lord 8
own prayer for the visible oneness
Of His followers may be fulfilled.
The invitation includes all Christian
Communions throughout the world,
both Catholic and Protestant. Prac-
tically all the great Christian Com
munions Of the world have identi-
fed themselves with this move
ment, with the exception of the
Catholic Church, which. though re-
ceiying the invitation in friendly
spirit. has not yet felt that it could
take part in the Conference.
see no reason why any church
should refrain from participation
in this movement. No church will
compromise its principles, or en-
danger its faith, by comforting with
others. and this meeting is limited
strictly to conference and mutual
explanation OF positions, with the
hope of creating better understand

CONTINUATION SCHOOLS.

The supervisors of vocational education in the State
of New York giving the greatest attention to Con
tintation Schools.
The enrolment in New York City continuation
schools has increased from II 900 1922 68O0O this
year The appropriation in 1922 $500 900 and today
is 100000 There is great demand for shop work
and 100000 will be expended shop equipment
Many hold the opinion that the continuation school
in small towns is having larger influence upon society
in America than the college and that eventually it
may play the largest part in the entire American
educational system.

FLAYS j. 5. POLICY
IN LATIN AMERICA
Former Diplomats Attack on
"RuthIeSSnesS" Meets
With Rejoinder.
By the Associated Press.


WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, August
GA wholesale indictment of Ameri'
can policy in Latin America was made
before the Institute Of Politics to-
day by Horace G. Knowles, former
American Minister to Rumana,
Serbia, Bulgaria. Nicaragua. the
Dominican Republic and Bolivia.
A ruthless and indefensible policy
of invasion and intervention and ms
use Of the Monroe doctrine to facili-
tate the success of its actions was
charged to Washington by the former
Minister. who declared that moth.
ing was hurting America in the eyes
Of foreign nations more than this at
titude toward the small nations south
of it.
Flags United States Policy.
1--WE have imposed our force upon
weak, helpless and defenseless coun.
tries and slaughtered thousands Of
their citizens" said Mr.. Knowles.
1--WE have attacked them when they
expected we would defend them. We
have used the Monroe doctrine to
prevent sympathetic European ma.
tons going to their rescue when we
abused them. In our dealings with
them we never allow them their day
in court, and we ignore and disregard
that principle Of due process Of law
which our Constitution safeguards to
all our citizens whenever their per-
sonal liberties or property rights are
involved"
Mr.. Knowles asserted that while
calling them backward, uneducated
and uncivilized America has made no
Christian move to remedy this condi.
ton, and that our national policy has
been to take all and give nothing, de.
spite the promises which the Mon
roe doctrine held out.
Instead Of sending them teachers,
instructors and helpers we have sent
them concession hunters, conscience
less and usurious bankers, avaricious
capitalists. bribers, commercial trick
sters. murderers. soldiers to shoot them.
degenerates and carriers Of infectious
diseases" he said. Instead of our
trying to elevate and make their peo-
pie better and more patriotic. we have
made crooks and traitors of many of
them in order that our INSCRIPTIONS

ton can control the government and
affairs of their countries"
Statements Challenged.
The round table discussion turned
into a heated debate when Comdr.
John P. Shafroth, U. S. N, took sharp
issue with Knowles.
II regard this paper as a vicious,
vindictive and violent attack upon our
governmental policy" the command.

Latin America only when the states

by international law"

we ever be at war with Europe, Latin
