OUTBREAKS FACE
 STAND ON DRAFT
Debate on COnscriptiOn Question Expected to Be
 Sharp and Prolonged

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 12 - OP) - Repercussions in the Protestant church world caused at Christmas time last year when President Roosevelt named Myron c, Taylor as his personal representative to the Vatican may have an echo at the 18th biennial convention of the United Lutheran Church to be held here October 12-16.
 The report of the executive board will review action taken early this year by Dr. Frederick H. Knubel, Chuych president, of New York. Dr. Knubels own report will ask that the United Church appoint com- mittee to submit a statement for adaptation as its official pronounce ment on the subject of the proper relation between church and state in c democracy.
 ConscriptiOn Issue Up
 Another subject which will evil dence the concern of the Lutheran church in national affairs as they touch. the life of its members is the position to be taken by the church relative to conscription as a ra- tional policy. Dr. Knubel will re- port that he publicly declared his opposition to the draft at the time congressional debate began. Ap- proVal of his report, in 8 measure will commit the United Church to the same position.
 The executive board will report for adoption as an authoritative pronouncement a lengthy statement on "The Rights and Duties of the Christian Citizen in the Emergen- cies of War;" prepared by the Rev. Paul H. Krallss, of Fort Wayne, Ind, Quotations from the official "Augs- burg Confession" lead to a declara- tion that "justifiable war not only may be possible but that the Chris tian citizen is in duty bound to bear arms and to offer his life, if need be, in defense of his country"
 Objector's Right Cited
 Recognition is given to the per- Eonal right of the conscientious objector but the statement declares that such recognition "does not imply the Church's approval of that standpoint but only proclaims its devotion and respect for the Scriptural principle of the supreme moral responsibility of the indi- yiiual conscience"
 Five memorials on the conscien- tious objector problem are more or less in conflict with the official statement and that presented by the Rocky Mountain Synod asks recognition by official pronounce ment of the right of any member of the United Lutheran Church in good standing to refuse to bear the arms on the ground that it con- fiicts with his interpretation of the teachings of Jesus"
 Extended correspondence in the columns of "The Lutheran" week. IE United Church organ, since Aug ust 28, indicates the debate on this question will be sharp and pro- l1nged.

It is not strange that the speed and size of this achievement has left many gaps and brought problems faster than we can solve them.
 It is not strange that a second world war coming on top of all our own difficulties should leave us feel ing that we are suddenly faced with more dangers than we should be called on. to handle.
 But 1t would be strange if 8 na- tion, always at the forefront in any enterprise of daring and noted for its resourcefulness, should not meet these dangers and conquer them.
 The first step, as we form for our tremendous task, is to remember our past; not only our great names but also the uncounted numbers of plain people, native and foreign-born, who created this new world, who cleared the woods and won the west and manned our armies and our ships and made our industries supreme. Then we can go ahead, looking on our country with love, on our fore- bears with reverence and on our- selves with confidence and honest pride.
