Letter
BIZ RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

Observation-Disclosures the only
audible note OF criticism Of the
Hoover war debt moratorium
proposal has been twanged on the
theory that II was being made at
the behest or and primarily for
the benefit OF those old bogies, the
international bankers, because OF
huge American private investments
I'm Germany.
From France came the seeming
" cynical explanation that Hoo
YER had acted 10 protect IN Amer
lean stake or nearly $4,000. 600. 900
In Germany and during the recent
negotiations at Paris IL was more
than once suggested that Hoover
dared not let the Mellon-Laval
parleys fail and 50 endanger those
private loans.
Factors In Proposal
There Is a tacit general view
here, however. that the private
American investment Is only one
OF several important factors which
the president took into consider
alton. II does appear, on the basis
OF both surface facts and private
adm sSions. that Hoover would not
have called for the moratorium
certainly not 80 s00n-had IL not
appeared that the $1,000, 100000 In
Vestment was III peril. But If Ger
many had crashed economically
and politically not only might that
stake have gone blooey. The whole
system OF debt paymentS-theoretl-
cally worth many more billions to
our people-W0uld have gone down
o. well. the worlds depression
would have been intensified. Ger
many might have gone b0lshevlk
and the worlds credit system would
have taken an awful wail0p. These
other considerations. even IN the
number or dollars involved. seem to
outweigh the three billions we have
put into Germany.
The suggestion that the interna-
ti0nal bankers stand to benefit most
doesn't get very far because Amer
lean investors rather than iinan-
ciers are the ones who would be
holding the bag on German loans.
Some Of the New York banks doubt
less hold German bonds In uuanti-
ties. but the bonds r scattered
over the country.

BISHOP FOR WAR
ON FOES OF FAITH
500 at Fellowship Dinner in
His Honor When Or. Free
man Challenges Laity.

Declaring that religion is being as
sailed by "insidious influences and ma
levolent forces" Right Rev. James E.
Freeman, Bishop of Washington, last
night challenged the laity to prepare
for offensive battle for the high things
of faith and country"
Bishop Freeman's address was given
at the fifth annual fellowship dinner in
his honor at the Mayflower Hotel,
which was attended by more than 500
leading laymen and pastors of 125 par
ishes, chapels and missions In the Ep1S-
copal diocese of Washington and near
by Maryland. DR.. w. Sinclair Bowen,
chairman of the Interparochial Dinner
Committee, was the presiding officer
and Gen. John j. Pershing the only
other guests of honor.
Quoting Gen. Pershing as saying In
q recent address that Christianity is
on the defensive line" Bishop Freeman
said he had not the remotest fear that
the church Is to be impaled by the
passing whims of the day, but II ever
there was a time to watch your step,
it is now," Bishop Freeman said. Bish-
CD Freeman drew attention to the dec
laration Of war upon religion made by
the officials of the Russian Soviet gov
eminent and warned against ''propa-
ganda proceeding from Moscow" preach
ing the doctrine of hate" against
Christianity.
He deplored the fact that America
has passed through period Of too
much prosperity" warning that lit has
lowered our vitality, lowered our morale

and lessened our devotion. A little more

he believed, would put it on q more
hopeful, expectant basis.
Bishop Freeman took laymen to task
for not exhibiting interest enough in
Sunday school teaching and showing
the same zeal in recruiting new MEM
bers for the church as they do for their
social and fraternal organizations.
Bishop Freeman led up to his re-
marks about modern-day tendencies to
belittle the ideals of American life and
Christianity by abiding to the efforts
of a modern author, Edgar Lee Masters,
to "besmirch the character Of Abraham
Lincoln as another recently threw mud
at George Washington"
Bishop Freeman introduced Gen.
Pershing. who sat upon his right, re-
ferring to him as his chief" In a
brief. informal address, Gen. Pershing
explained that the bishop, who was. dur
ing the war a humble major" but
now the tables are turned, and am
the humble major"
Account Of Stewardship.
The bishop opened his own remarks
by rendering an account of his seven
years and half of stewardship. While
the building of the great cathedral was
of utmost Importance, he reminded the
laymen that he has never permitted
the multitude of duties involved therein
to interfere with or diminish his active
interest in the work of the diocese.
During the past year, he said he had
administered confirmation in 83 church.
es, made 314 addresses, sat on SO boards,
attended the Lambeth Conference in
England and Eat 81 years of age feel
more fit to attack problems than at "a. "
In addition to these duties of his Office,
he said that $4,000 900 for Washington
Cathedral had passed through his hands
during the year and his mail had ap-
proximated 5000 letters.
DR.. Bowen, leading layman Of the
church for many years. praised Bishop
Freeman's interest in the laymen. He
noted the. fact that the attendance at
the fellowship dinner last night was
larger than at any preceding dinner,
as attested by the roll call read by
James A. De Force, secretary of the
Interparochial Dinner Committee. A
resolution offered by Rev. H. Allen Grit
