To Presbyterian Mission
Group Meeting Here

The 58th annual convention of
the United Presbyterian Church
Woman's General Missionary So
ciety today received three petit
tions from the Middle West and

Roosevelt establish a special day of
prayer for the war to end soon.

also called for religious freedom
and a just and righteous peace.

port its recommendations Tuesday

primarily was devoted to business
sessions and of reports from Of
ficerS.

lace Memorial United Presbyterian
Church, declaring "our countrys flag
pledges protection of our citizens,
but the banner of Christ promises
refuge and the support of the
everlasting arms and this is not
only for today but for every day
and eternity"
While the national flag represents
freedom of worship, freedom of ex-
preston and thought not permitted
in dictator-ruled land, and liberty
to criticize Government leadership
without fear, she said, this freedom
is precious and is sacred trust to
be guarded from all encroachments.
More than 225 delegates split up
into discussion groups on litera-
ture, temperance and efficiency for
an exchange of ideas. The after
noon session was to be devoted to
further business and the receipt of

ice will be given by the Rev. Claire

ment had not missed an opportunity
II years ago and if the Department
of Agriculture had not repeated the
mistake in 1884.
An enterprise called the Inter
continental Rubber Co. succeeded
in acclimating at Salinas, Calf, the
Mexican guayule shrub, from which
it began making rubber at rate
of 10000 pounds a day. The War
Department in 1880 sent officers to
investigate. They made a favorable
report, but the matter was droppeo
Four years later the company ap-
pealed to Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace (now Vice PRESIDENT, ask
ing that a member of the staff De
sent to look into its operations. One
of his assistants replied that the de-
partment had no one available who
could be released for the investiga-
ton. A second plea met with the
response that it was Government
policy to continue acquiring rubber
supplies abroad, in order to provide
foreign purchasing power for Amer
ican agricultural products.
The company, rebuffed, turned 10
Rome. The Fascist government
snatched at the chance and pur-
chased quantities of seeds. The
guayule shrub has for several years
been cultivated in Southern Italy,
on what scale is unknown here.
The shrub natures In three to
five years, so that large acreage of
adult plants could now be available
in California. The company today
has offered to make rubber from

knowledges the process would be far
more expensive than if mature
shrubs were used
