Freedoms Of Religion
And Press Are Linked
C|ergymen Declare
Importance of Both
To Democracy Stressed
BY Leaders in ; Foiths
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associate Press.
NEW YORK, Oct 4-Three lead
ing clergymen-a Catholic, Pro-
testant and a Jew-stressed today
the growing Importance to DEM
ocracy of a close relationship be-
tween Americas free press and free
religion, in statements issued by the
Religious News Service in connection
with National Newspaper Week.
They were Dean Luther A. Weigle
of the Yale Divinity School, presi-
dent of the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America,
Bishop John Mark Cannon of the
Catholic diocese of Erie, Pa, chair
man of the National Catholic We'll
fare Conference press department,
and Rabbi Edward L. Israel of Bal
timore, executive director of the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations.
Rabbi Israel said the press had
come to recognize more keenly than
ever that free religious institutions
constitute democracy's strongest
bulwark and thus the defender of
that way of life in which alone it is
possible for a truly free press to
exist
Dean Weigle expressed pleasure at
the increasing importance which
newspaper editors in general are at
taching to religious news"
This warm reception to the news
of religion he added, lis typical,
and is especially significant in view
of the fact that freedom of worship
and freedom of the press are tied
together inseparablv with the other
freedoms in the bill of rights
Bishop Cannon declared the
United States was drifting toward
the horrible state" of "atheistic
democracy" and urged Americans to
awaken to the importance of re-
hgion in a democracy. asserting
that the, American daily newspaper
was a powerful force in turning the
tide back toward the simple ways
OF God our forefathers obviously
ordained for US, as witnessed by the
larger space being given over to
religion"

CothoIic Loymen Protest
Presidents Comment

The Catholic Laymen's Commit
tee for Peace made public last
night telegram to President Roose-
welt charging that his remarks last
week concerning religious freedom
in Russia were "grievously contrary
to the facts"
This committee reminds YOU
the telegram read. that whatever
freedom exists in Russia is allowed
only in order to strengthen the So
cialist system.
THE only way that religion will
ever again be free in Russia is by
the elimination of Stain and his
murderouS crew from the govern
ment of Russia
The committees telegram con-
trasted sharply with some other
statements by Catholic leaders, no.
tably one Friday night by Msgr.
Michael j. Ready, general secretary
of the National Catholic Welfare
Conference, declaring that the
Presidents efforts to bring about
the termination of religious perse-
cution in Russia will receive the

ments now apply only to organiza-
tons working for countries which
have formally been declared bel
ligerents under the Neutrality Act
leaving free the agencies soliciting
for such nations as China, Finland
and Russia-the committee asked
for correction" of this situation.
At the least, it urged voluntary CO.
operation of these agencies in filing
reports and meeting the standards
of registered organizations.
Ignore British Plans.
AS an illustration of this need, it
was noted that many independent
British agencies are still soliciting
contributions for medical aid for
the United Kingdom despite a rul-
ing by the British Ministry of Health
that all such relief should be chan
neled through the American and
British Red Cross.
The committee devoted a section
of its study and report to war re-
lief methods in Canada, where all
such activities have been placed by
law under control of a ministerial
department and a national advisory
board.
Release of the report followed con-
ferences at the White House earlier
this week between the President, Mr..
Davies and Norman H. Davis, chair
man of the Red Cross. Other men,
bers of the Davies committee, which
is to continue in operation as an
advisory agency, are Charles P
Taft of Ohio and DR.. Frederick P.
Keppel of the Carnegie Foundation.
The President arrived here in mid
evening, after spending a full day
in New York City preparing for the
removal of family possessions from
the Roosevelt town house on East
Sixty-ffth street. Since the death
of Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt, the
Presidents mother, on September 7,
the six-story double house has been
offered for sale.
The 80-mile journey from New
York City to Hyde Park was made
by automobile. Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt accompanied the President.

Neutrality
Continued From First PageD


repealed, or if that provision against
American ships entering belligerent
ports is repealed, the President will
then have the whole responsibility
of deciding whether American ships
are to be allowed to sail for British
ports. If, having the power to give
them clearance, he fails 10 do so. the
British might be sorely disappointed
it was said.
Psychological Effect.
Two questions present themselves,
one of all-out aid to the British
and of the psychological effect of
repeal of the Neutrality Act on both
the British people and the Hitler
government and the other of unity
in this country. Several of the leg
islators questioned the advisability
of going beyond the arming of
American merchant vessels. They
contended that, while the isolation
ist groups have been fast losing
ground in the country, such action
might give them new life.
The prediction was made, how
ever, that if the President strongly
urged, as a measure of national de-
fense, the repeal of the Neutrality
Act or the repeal of the clause pro-
hibiting American ships from going
to. belligerent ports, both houses
would support him, although the
vote might be much closer than a
vote to arm the merchant ships.
Furthermore. a long debate might
be expected in the Senate over the
more drastic proposals, even fill
buster.
Representative Bloom already has
said he favored outright repeal of
the Neutrality Act, believing that it
would be the most Straightforward
way of dealing with the whole ques-
ton.
The Keep America Out of War
Congress announced yesterday its
opposition to repeal or revision of
the Neutrality Act.
In a statement the congress also
asked withdrawal of American
troops from Iceland and called for
an advisory referendum of the peo-
pie on the issue of war or peace.
The congress represents a num-
ber of organized peace groups.
