Famed Archbishop of York
Seeks Freedom Hazard
in New Trends.

The Christian church should meet
the challenges of materialism and
social disintegration by unification,
the Rev. Samuel McCrea Cavert told
delegates to the National Confer
ence of Theological Students at
Butler University today.
DR.. Cavert, general secretary,
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, spoke on the
prospects of church unity.
'We are confronted by rampant
materialism, which tries to explain
everything without God No de-
nomination can meet that challenge
alone" DR.. Cavert said.
Disintegration Threatens
1--WE are confror ID with an eco
nomic order so shot through with
the acquisitive spirit that it is
threatened with social disintegra-
ton. We are confronted with an
international order that keeps on
piling. armament against armament
and drives us headlong to suicidal
war.
eve are confronted with the twin
modern rivals of Christianity-com-
munism and nationalism. 1t is not
now Buddhism and Islam that are
the great competitors of Christianity
for the allegiance of men but those
new mass forces of communism and
natlonaliSm. No denominations can
meet these kind of challenges alone.
TO win the victory over such foes
as these we can not wait for some
hnal contamination in the form of
a complete merger of all denomina-
tons into single church. We must
have united action now, even if We
don't have a formal union we can
have a whole-hearted policy of CO.
operation.
1T is only in incidental matters
that we are separated: In the things
That really matter-the things that

VOTE NEAR ON
LAvAL'S FATE
Victory by Slender Margin
Is Predicted for
Government.

BIZ United Press
PARIS, Dec. 28-Premier Laval
fought for his political life today
in the Chamber of Deputies, cool
and mistaken by Furnishing fire
of criticism of his foreign policy.
After morning of debate which
indicated that the chamber was al
most evenly divided, the session
was adjourned until this afternoon.
Then Laval was to make his de-
tense OF his handling of the Ital-
IAN Ethiopian problem in a speech
on whose appeal the fate of his
government rested.
An early vote of confidence in his
foreign policy was expected. 1t was
indicated that the vote would be
close, so close as to doom Lavals
government almost certainly within
the next few weeks even if he won
it, unless the mercurial premier
could retrieve his position.
Observers predicted a victory by
the slightest of margins, but they
spoke none too surely.
Everything depended on Laval
and his ability to convince a few
middle f-the-road deputies.
