HOPE FOR UNITY
AMONG CHURCHES
GIVEN SETBACK
BY THOMAS MORGAN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


ROME, Jan. 1l.-Rope of world
vide church unity today was con
'ider&blv diminished through tn,
irst cncyclical of 1928 by pope
Plus NI, in which he said unity
.ould be attained only through al
christians rejoining the Roman
'hurch.
How can unity be maintained
when each has his own opinion?''
ne pope asked.
The Encyelieal was 5000 words
ong and went completely into the
question of unity. 1t dealt at
'ength with the modernistic. and
'undamentalist beliefs.
Tie pope said said there were
those who were promoting 4 fala-
iouS religious unity among Christ
ianS. and he called this to the at
tention OF the bishops that they
might forewarn their peoples.
"It is the duty of human crea-
lures to believe in Revelations and
obey Tod prtccptS. Tor Nhlch ne
founded his church on earth,' > the
encvchcal said.
"Therefore it is their duty to
adhere to his church. founded by
Christ and identical throughout the
countries. namely, the Roman Cath
Ollie Apostolic church"
In conclusion the encyclical said
there could be no concept of unity
eScert through the Roman Cath
Ollie church and that this could be
effected only through the return Of
dissidents to the mother church.

EVACUATION IS UP
BEFORE LEAGUE
German Plel. to Lave Rhintllnd
to Be Heard

Geneva, Sept. ~ (UP)-A con-
ference based on discussion Of evac-
uation of the Rhineland will be re-
sumed Thursday-with the leading
powers participating - and there
were Indications today that the en-
tire matter of evacuation would be
examined from q technical, geo.
graphical and juridical standpoint.
Aristide BRAND. the French for
oign minister. has delayed his de-
parture for Paris 70 that he may
attend the Thursday conference.
Tho entire international situation,
which momentarily had become del
icate through Brands recent blunt
answer to Chancellor Mueller on
disarmament. appeared improved
today and authoritative reports
said that in yesterdays discussion
of evacuation Muller had not pre-
scented any concrete evacuation pro-
posal.
Although Japan has been invited
to participate in these conferences,
this was said to be merely a gesture
of good will towards former ally
rather than any attempt to build up
the old council of ambassadors.
Replies to BRAND
Chancellor Mueller last night gave
a statement to newspapermen re-
plying to some OF the terms in
Brands recent speech. and indicat-
ing that Franco-German relations
still were unruffled and that the
evacuation negotiations were pro-
ceeding satisfactorily.
II raised the question of disarm-
ament in the assembly solely for the
purpose of helping the League to a
solution of the problem, he said.
THE criticism was moderate and
intended to be constructive.
I'VE have great industry, but We
are net permitted to have aviation,
and tanks which are the basis for
future war. Similarly a future war
will be one of quick aggression and
will not permit transformation OF
peace industry to war basis.

to reproach us for rebuilding the
