rected against the forces which seek to rob both individuals and nations of their liberty and to re- place enlightened codes of human relationships with the rule of the jungle" Such a plan is expected to be realized through the creation of a. central planning commission for the Protestant churches and a cofn- mon center of information and mutual consultation,
 "The conference at Oxford" con- tinued Dr. Leiper," has been sum- moned because the unity for which we strive can only come about through the action of the churches themselves. A growth in under standing between unofficial repre- sentatives of the churches is not enough. Such a movement as ours, in order to be effective, must be composed of collaborators who have been officially commissioned by their churches.
 we realize. of course, that this conference will certainly not be able to offer the world a panacea for all its ills. But 1t may very well supply & stimulus and show the direction in which the world can move In the future"
 Particular interest in the oxford conference lies in the discussion by the churches of methods to combat the challenges of atheism, cornnun- ism, fascism and nazisiii. Attention will be given to such matters as the conflicts between church and state, the interrelation of Christian ideals and the changing social order, Christian brotherhood versue race and class distinctions, the part Christianity can play in the main tenance of world peace and the means for the furtherance of Chris tianity through education.
 The work of the conference will be divided into five sections with each section working independently on its problems and then reporting to the conference as 6 whole for af- firmation. Preliminary reports to be used as the basis for discussion have been prepared by the section al chairman. The authors and sub- jects of the five draft reports are: "The Church and State,' Judge Max Huber of Switzerland, former president of the International Court of Hague; Church, Community and State in Relation to the Eco- homie Order" Professor John Maud, University of London eco- nomist: "The Church and the Com munity," Sir Walter Moberly, re- gently resigned vice-C Chancellor of the University of Manchester; The Universal church and the World of Nations," President Mackay of Princeton Theological Seminary: and Church, Community and State in Relation to Education" pres- ident Coffin of Union Theological Seminary.
