feW weeks ago I was privileged to attend the
annual Safe Chri stan Youth Conference held in Fred

Church. The following is report by one of those
young people, expressing the thoughts of both:
NJ thoroughly enjoyed the entire Conference from
the time Phyllis Warner, Mr. Robert Kincheloe, and
I arrived at banquet Friday night, to the clos
ing minutes at Hood College when Mrs. Rose helch,
Negro singer from Chicago brought the occasion to
close with beautiful song, lord Want To Be A

meeting where all and creeds mingled together
in happy, understanding fellowship. It really
unbelievably fine example of the very thing young
people, black white, like o do:that is, sit down
and thrash out their troubles, and exchange their
theories all young people have lots of theores) and
ideas.
VT think something was really accomplished, too.
After the banquet Friday nj t there represen-
tatives from every county in Earylan and Delaware who
told how the youth in their respective counties feel
such momentous questions war; racial pre- udce,
their relai onsip the church, unemployment among
youth, and what young people do with their leisure
time On Saturday, besides hearing several speakers
talk on some of these uestions the conference of
about 100 divided into panel groups where the
high school and the college and out-ofschool folk
got together and discussed these matters. Two of
these discussions took up four hours of full day.

New Pact May Save

information Chief Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Sept. 30.-The new Rome
Berlin Toxic military alliance prob
ably will save hundreds Of thou
sands of Americans from death on
foreign battlefields," Col. Shuitsu
Matsuoka, chief of the Japanese
Army information section, said to-
day in an interview.
we gather the impression from
American publications that the
United States is drifting steadily
toward entry into the conflict" he
declared.
IF this is so. this alliance must
have made a considerable portion
Of the American public aware of the
dangers of participation and it may
serve as a brake on such rashness.
From the standpoint of national
defense, no country seems more IA
vored by natural and artificial con-
ditions than the United States. Po-
tential battlefields for American
soldiers lie across oceans in foreign
territories. But We believe that such
imaginary battlefields have van
ished as a result of the alliance"
Peace Held Treaty's Interest.
Col. Matsuoka said the treaty
was concluded solely in the inter-
ests Of peace. Russia's position re-
specting the signatories is clearly
defined in the pact, he asserted.
American participation in the
wars in Europe or Asia would
spread the conflagration through
out the world and preventing such a
catastrophe is the sole guiding prin-
ciple of the treaty" the Army
spokesman continued.
Why" he asked, should Ameri-
cans be either excited or irritated
by this arrangement"
The Japan Times. the Foreign
Office's English language mouth
piece, declared editorially that the
United States State Department had
betrayed the British and American
people by series of "warlike moves
in the Pacific" and these solely were
responsible for the tripartite
alliance.
Betrayal Is Charged.
The newspaper asserted the State
Department deliberately had de-
prived Britain of the friendship of
Japan in the greatest betrayal in
history of a nation in the direct
hour of its peril"
The Japan Times went on:
when the full tale is told of the
Washington clique's Vaccinations,
there will be such an outcry of the
American people" that wholesale
renovations will be made In the

Hull and Lothion Meet
On Far East Cooperation

Discussions generally understood
to be paving the way for closer
Anglo o-American cooperation in the
Far East were continued by Sec
retary Hull and Lord Lothian,
British Ambassador, in q S0-minute
conversation at the State Depart
ment today.
1t was indicated the effect of the
newly announced German-Italian-
Japanese military alliance on COM
mon interests of Great Britain and
the United States was the major
subject of the talk today.
Secretary Hull said no decisions
were reached at the conference.
Mr.. Hull declined comment on re-
ports from London indicating that
Great Britain will reopen the Burma
Road into China, other than to
point out that this Government had
opposed the temporary closing Of
the road last July.
Reopening of the road would be
a tangible sign of increased Anglo
American cooperation to Offset Ja-
pans drive for dominance Of all
Asia.
Practical value of the new $25,-
o0, 900 loan granted China by the
Export Import Bank last week would
be enhanced tremendously by avail
