A report accepted by the New

The 25 months of strenuous eff
fort under the new deal to reform
the system has only proved that it
is beyond reform. The conviction
grows. therefore, that capitalism
must be discarded. The tender
ness with which the sacred COW Of
private profits has been protected
while suffering has been indescrib-

The press was urged to rally to
the battle for free expression, which
the report said was threatened by
teachers oaths, bills and "Sedi-
ton" measures in state legislatures.
Dispute in the conference arose
over a section of the report that
proposed that war be renounced as
a sin and that Christians refuse to
participate in it, directly or indi-
rectly. A minority opposed extend
