have little potency in arousing ardent
popular support for their findings. We
probably may contend with safety that
that function of a liberalized religion,
Invested of its archaic supernaturalism,
would be to serve as the public prOpa-
ganda adjunct of social science and
esthetics, The latter would supply
specific guidance as to what ought to
be done, while religion would produce
the motive power essential to the trans
laticn of abstract theory into practical
action.
Thrill From Mysterious Is Core"
"The issue is primarily whether or
ganized religion can be held together
and can operate without sense Of
mystery and fear Of the unknown.
The thrill from the mysterious has been
the core of all past religions and We
have nothing to give any final assur-
ance that religion can persist without
this dominating element of mystery and
fear.
at is held by many that the majority
Of mankind always will remain es-
sentially superstitious and victims of
supernaturalism. While not optimistic
with respect to the possibilities of
rapid intellectual emancipation on the
part of the majority of men, the writer
questions seriously whether or not we
may assume the indefinite prolongation
of the domination of man by supersti-
ton and gross supernaturalism. Even
the most benighted religionist of today
is almost secular In his daily life and
attitudes as compared to the medieval
peasant or the unconverted Indians of
America, though he may adhere for
mal1y to a primitive cult"

AIR BOMBING BAN
. BEATEN IN GENEVA
Nations Reject German Pro-
posal, but Say Civilians
Must Be Protected.
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA, April 24.-Germany's pro-
posal for prohibition of aircraft bomb
ing in war time was rejected today by
the preparatory commission on dis
armament of the League of Nations.
Out of 25 national delegations at the
conference only five countries supported
the project.
However, in refusing to insert the
bomb-prohibition clause in the draft
treaty which the commission is formu-
lating, the delegations voting against
the proposal accepted a subsequent res
olution offered by Nicolas Politis of
Greece, affirming that they had no in
tention of authorizing the dropping of
bombs on civilian populations.
Great Slaughter Foreseen.
Count Won Bernstorff is arguing for
his proposal said that in a few hours
bombing airplanes flying over Paris,
Berlin and London could take toll of
half a million victims. The Germans
insisted that if this method of warfare
was permitted war would become not
only horrible, but more cowardly.
The combatants themselves, pro-
in the safest position. while the real
victims would be old people, women and
children, Who hitherto have been pro-
tected by' all possible means which
civilization Affords" he said.
Francois Sokal of Poland said that
no one would deny the horrors of such
warfare as Count Won BernStorff had
described. but said the conference had
not reached that point and under the
Kellogg pact was not likely to reach it.
When war had been outlawed, he said,
it was Illogical under those circum-
stances to begin codifying rules Of war
Soviet Position Stated.
Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet spokesman,
Immediately jumped to his feet and as
serted that Poland had been among
those who had rejected the Soviet pro-
posals last year for complete abolition
of ornaments. They retained their
ornaments of warfare, he said, and it
therefore was possible for war to de-
velop and hence necessary to limit the
forms of warfare. He added the Soviet
delegation was prepared to support the
German proposal
Count Massigli, speaking for France,
opposed the German amendment, re-
calling the Smelling of Paris by the big
bertha" of the German army II years
ago. He said he regretted the neces-
sity of remarking that the real issue
proposed was abolition of the conSe-
quences for certain countries of particu-
lar clauses established by treaties, which
was not the task of the commission.
Count Won Bernstorf responded that
the prohibition principle had been &C

committee Of the Washington Real Es-

publicity" which had come out of the
hearing Of the Congressional Joint Air
port Commission, where the price asked
for the land had come under discussion
In explaining the difference in the
values placed on the site, as between
that placed by Maj. Carey Brown of the
staff of the Park and Planning Com

of the properties, as. reported. the

the former as "inanifeStly off -hand

its course yesterday.
