estant evangelicals fundamental
ists) throughout the country. WAS
organized here at a two-day meet
ing attended by $50 representa-
tives Of various church boards,
Bible institutions, seminsries, and
other fundamentals groups.
Emphasizing the great need"
for a body which would represent
the evangelicals. the delegates
agreed that neither the modern
list" Federal Council of Churches
nor the recently organized Ameri-
can Council of Christian Churches
could satisfactorily meet this need.
The latter body, set up in 1871,
was represented. at the st. Louis
meeting BY two representatives
who proposed that the convention
adopt the American Council plan.
In speaking for the conference in
rejecting the proposal. the Rev.
]. Edwin Wright. Of New Hamp-
shire. described the new associa-
ton as conservative. construe-
tive body. regarding the Federal
Council as destructive 10 evsngel-
ism. but sbhoring the destructive
methods of the American Coun-
ell"
The conference approved bud
get of 00o-hslf Of 1t raised
in pledges at the final session.
Describing itself as still in a
formative period. the conference
agreed to submit its program for
final approval to an official meet
ing Of delegates scheduled TO be
held in Chicago on April IS, 1913.
Other organizationsl procedure
included recommendations that an
executive secretary be appointed
as soon as possible at salary not
to exceed $4,000: that a central
radio committee of three members
be set up: that all relations with
the governm rent be handled
through an executive committee
and the executive secretary; and
that public relations be restricted
to an active support Of the propa-

and would seem to have real possi-
bilities as a site for Government
housing OF temporary type. It has
the special advantage of being close
to the new War and Navy Buildings
IN Arlington. In fact, the commission
believes that the present buildings
could be used to test the feasibility
OF barrack-type dormitories for Fed
eral employees.
In addition to the obvious dis
advantage Of destroying park prof.
ect developed at a cost of a million
dollars, the proposal to use the Mall
for the dormitories involves other
objections. A commission member
said that only ten acres of the Mall
area could be used for building pur-
poses, that concentration of living
quarters in such central spot would
expose occupants to serious bombing
hazards in event OF air raids on
downtown Washington, and that in
summer the flimsy dormitories, sur
rounded by asphalt and unprotected
by shade, would be almost unbear-
ably hot. These are cogent argu-
ments that deserve to be weighed
carefully before a final decision Is
reached on the Mall housing project.

Mall Dormitories

In opposing President Roosevelt's
suggestion that the Mall be taken
over as site for barrack-like dormi-
tories for war workers, the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion has presented reasons that are
sound and persuasive. In the first
place, commission officials pointed
out, the problem of finding a site for
such temporary housing has not yet
reached so critical a stage that only
the Mall is left for consideration
and Mr.. Roosevelt has said he would
be willing to have the dormitories
placed somewhere else If suitable
ground could be found. According to
the commission, there are numerous
potential sites available in or close
to Washington, outstanding among
which is the old Arlington Canton
ment. near the Virginia end Of the
Memorial Bridge. This cantonment
has been abandoned by the Army

Incentive Payments

Donald NJ Nelson's reported In
dorsement of incentive payments, or
bonuses, as an effective means of
doing away with slow downs" in war
plants has a singularly unfortunate
connotation.
In the first place, it is a proposal
which would be resented by all loyal
war workers. The slow down is a
sort of modified strike in which the
participant, while not actually leav-
ing his job. contrives by various ex-
pedients to produce less than his
normal output. Another way Of
describing it would be to say that the
participant in slow down is a Stacker
on the industrial front. Admiral
Land, chairman Of the Maritime
Commission, is reported to have said
that slow downs in some instances
have developed into serious" situa-
tions. Nevertheless, it is impossible
to believe that American workers as
a class would lend themselves to any
such disloyal technique.
Most workmen. like most employers,
have no need of incentive payments
or bonuses to realize that we must
win this war, and that in order to
win it we must make the greatest
possible use of every hour Of produc-
ton time that is given to U.s. Pos
sibly there would be merit in a plan
for some sort of special award or
special bonus for the loyal workers
who, over and above their normal,
conscientious days work. are able to
make some special contribution to
the production end of the war effort.
But there is little reason to believe
that an industrial Stacker could be
converted into loyal worker by
offering him few dollars in the form
of an incentive payment.
If a man lacks the incentive to give
unStinted service to his country
under conditions as they exist today,
the deficiencies in his makeup can
not be compensated for with money.
This is amply demonstrated by our
unhappy experiences in the past with
efforts to secure suitable men for
combat service by payment of cash
bonuses. All of these attempts were
failures, and there is no reason to
hope for better results now on the
industrial front. The plan for in
centive payments to slow downers"
Is one that had best be forgotten. If
there are to be any such payments,
let them go to the workers already
giving a full measure Of service.
