CongregafionaIists Vote
War Support by3 10 |
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
DURHAM, N. H., June 24.-Over
the opposition of approximately one
quarter Of the delegates, the Gen.
eral Council of Congregational
Christian Churches has voted in
national convention to support the
Nations war effort "at whatever
sacrifice of life and treasure"
The vote, taken late yesterday,
was 400 to 135. Another 35 dele
gates took no stand on the issue,
one of the most controversial Of the
convention.
Those favoring the all-out effort
said they did so because the ag-
gressions Of the Axis powers are so
unspeakably cruel and ruthless
- and because the defeat Of
the Axis powers is preliminary
necessary to just and durable
peace, and to the unfettered con-
tinuance Of the world mission Of
the church"
The 135 minority delegates adopt.
ed q statement saying that they.
convinced of the futinty of war as
q method to achieve the goals which
should be sought, feel they cannot.
in loyalty to their Christian con-
sciences, accept the way Of violence
and bloodshed."

The Great Game of Politics
Hoover ond Hugh Gibson Present Realistic
Book on Problems Of Lasting Peace

Though both Mr.. Hoover and Mr.
Gibson wanted this country to keep
out Of the war, there is not in the
book any crumb o. comfort for the
isolation point of view. Their rec
ords as pro-League of Nations and
pro- World Court men would relieve
them from that taint II there were
nothing else, but the interesting
fact is that, though the book was
written before both Sumner Welles'
Memorial Day speech and his more
recent speech in Baltimore, there is
no conflict between the Hoover
Gibson view of the peace problems
and that of the Undersecretary of
State, which is taken as outlining
administration policy.
Call for Complete Victory.
On the contrary, the Hoover
Gibson book insists that, first, there
must come complete victory; that
any compromise would make i'm
possible achievement OF a lasting
peace. ANY structure of lasting
peace" they say, must consist of
two parts" The first is its founda-
ton Of political, territorial, mill
tary, economic and theological set
Elements which restore order and
recovery in the world. The second
Is the erection thereon OF some
instrumentality to preserve peace"
which, of course, means that the
victors will have to police the world
at least for a while.
Add to that the Hoover Gibson
advocacy Of a "cooling-off period"
after victory and before the peace
treaty is written, plus their in
sistence that it is criminal folly not
to think about and debate peace
problems now-and there is prac-
tically no difference between Mr..
Welles' and the Hoover Gibson
views. The fact is that while, of
course, he had not done so, Mr..
Welles' two speeches read as if he
had read the Hoover Gibson book.
They were not, but they could have
been, taken from it.
This should not offend him.
Rather 1t should confirm his belief
IN the soundness Of his position. To
the country 1t should be reassuring
that men as far apart politically and
personally from this administration
as the Messrs. Hoover and Gibson
should be in such close accord with
its spokesman on the vital problem
Of peace. 1t would be still more re-
assuring il there were a prospect
that, when the war ends, the admin
istration, rising above partisanship
and personal dislike, would put
these two outstandingly qualified
men on the American delegation to
sit at the peace table. But that
prospect, unfortunately, seems re-
mote.

10 Bolts 10 Square Mile
U. 5. lightning Average

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 24.-Two cleo
trical engineers reported today every
square mile in the United States is
bombarded by an average Of 10 light
ming strokes year.
Charles F. Wagner and Gilbert D
Mccain of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio g. Manufacturing Co.. told the
American Institute Of Electrical
Engineers their four-year study was
undertaken to provide means OF
protecting power lines against thun-
derbolts.
1--WE have learned that every SO
miles of power line will be hit by
lightning an average OF so times
every year." Mr.. Wagner said.
He said each stroke would have a
potential voltage Of between 20 and
30 million volts and about 10000
amperes of electricity, enough to
light a city of $4,000 population
momentarily.

shall be wrong, but, by the use of
logic, we may get somewhere
near the truth.
In the original Anglo-Soviet
and American-Sovlet communi-
ques issued after the visit of
Russian Foreign Commissar Mo-
lotov in London and Washing
ton there was a phase that
confess conveyed little meaning
or double meaning to this
reader, and has already caused
much speculation among other
commentators. 1t was: Com
plete understanding was reached
with regard to the urgent tasks
OF creating a second front in
Europe in 1912"
On the basis of this statement,
were We or weren't we going to
open a second front?
Now, since the speech made by
Foreign Commissar Molotov on
June 18 on the occasion of the
ratification of the British-Rus-
sian treaty, and after reading
other speeches. notably that Of
Sir Stafford Cripps last week. I
think l understand the Churchill
visit. I think this is what hap
pened:
Mr.. Molotov presented to Prime
Minister Churchill, in London,
the Russian theory of the STRAIT
egy Of this war. That theory is
that the Germany Army is much
too strong to be defeated with
one master blow. Stain and
other Russians have declared
before that the German military
force must be weakened by con-
tinuous strain and exhaustion,
using up its manpower and ma
terial and giving it no moment
for any recuperation An enor-
nous contribution to this STRAIT
egy would be the opening Of q
second front in Europe.
Clue in Grips Speech.
Mr.. Churchill did not wholly
fall in with this. His viewpoint
may have been revealed in the
Cripps speech. Sir Stafford said,
when We strike, let us strike
hard, with a determination to
march through to Berlin before
we call a final halt" And he
said, When the moment to strike
will come, no one can say; am
not going to help Hitler by tell
ing you or him"
So the British idea would seem
to be to assemble an enormous
force on the British Isles and.
when the moment is favorable, to
make a blitz war. allowing the
Russians, meanwhile. to do the
exhausting and attrition.
This presumes, of course, that
the British are highly optimistic
about the Russian powers Of re-
sistance-perhaps more optimis-
tic than the Russians themselves.
It Is we'll known here that Mr..
Litvinov, the Russian Ambassa-
dor, is not painting the situation
in a very rosy fashion. And. un-
less it is certain that the Russians
can maintain a strong front until
the moment for a blitz in the
west, these British calculations
are futile.
Evening star., 1942-06-24

It's great value Is its contribution
OF fundamental sanity to the dis
cussion and the convincing COM
pleteness with which it marshals
and analyzes the basic facts which
cannot be ignored If finally civili-
zation is to save itself. The back
ground Of the book Is the skillful
and impressive summing up of the
record throughout the centuries of
the so far fruitless search for some
form Of international cooperation
by which wars could be ended and
peaceful solution Of all conflicts
insured.
The history Of the League Of
Nations idea is traced from its in
ception in the 14th century by
Pierre Dubois Of Normandy, an ad-
wiser Of Philip lie Bel, and its de-
velopment in the 10th century by
Henry of Navarro, on down through
the years to the woodrow Wilson
plan Of 1919. 1t is an interesting
story, made important by the clarity
with which is pointed out the rocks
upon which these schemes foun-
dered.
Suggestions Practical.
1t Is not exaggeration to say that
the dynamic forces which make
for war and peace and the whole
record Of the long quest for effec-
tive international cooperation have
never been as lucidly nor as force
fully presented.
Aside from the thoughtful and
penetrating Interpretation of facts
and ideas, the book is remarkable
for the exceedingly practical sug-
gestions for dealing with hitherto
insoluble economic. social and racial
problems. 1t is also notable for its
fairness.
Both sides OF every argument for
the varying international points of
view are presented and no attempt
is made by the Messrs. Hoover and
Gibson to propose any rigid peace
plan. To do so at this stage, they
declare. is manifestly impossible
Nevertheless. they make plain their
own conviction Of the necessity Of
the United States shouldering its
responsibilities after victory and not
shirking them as it did last time.

explained before, it is the duty Of
Americans to hang on to their
ways of life, the things that make
us Americans, so long as 1t does
not interfere with the war effort.
Otherwise, when the war is over,
we'll be triumphant but we won't
be Americans. All the various bits
Of living that distinguish us from
other folks will have disappeared.
Today's essay was inspired by the
request of Joseph Eastman, direc-
tor of defense transportation. that
we abandon conventions and State
fairs for the duration in order to
ease the Governments transporta-
ton problem. Naturally, we'll do
as Mr.. Eastman bids, but there is
nothing to prevent us from keeping
in practice, nothing unpatriotic in
holding our conventions and State
fairs right in the living rooms Of
our homes so that when the war
ends, we'll be ready to pick up
where we left of.
Conventions Are Vital.
The convention Is vital part Of
American life. II it isn't one Of
the four freedoms, it certainly is
fifth or sixth freedom, affording the
American male a chance to let his

The convention is an inalienable
right of the American man. Just

forward to that day when he can

men, put badge bearing his name
on his lapel and move to a strange
city under the pretense of listening
to a lot Of inspiring speeches by
leaders in his particular business
and swapping ideas with fellow
workers.

next attack fails. In any event,
military observers in Washington
are greatly concerned over COM
ing developments.
When the attack on Tobruk be-
gan there was a feeling that the
Nazis would not be able to obtain
more than a strategic success by
capturing or investing that fort
ress. 1t was then believed that
Gen. Ritchie would manage to
save the major part Of his force
and withdraw in an orderly fash
ion to the principal line of de-
fense. The failure of Gen. Ritchie
to do so has changed the whole
situation.

This Changing World
Crucial Period Reached in Africon Campaign;
RommeI Expected to Strike While Iron Is Hot

number now available is. OF
course. a military secret. but 1t
stands to reason that when nearly
10000 men have been lost, the re-
mainder Of the defending force
Is seriously thinned out. Rein
forcements will, of course, be
rushed to protect the Suez Canal,
but 1t will take some time before
SUFFICIENT requirements can reach
the battle scene.
Reports from Crete and the
Dodecanese Islands that the
Nazis are set for an invasion of
the mainland of Asia Minor,
even If exaggerated, will compel
the British to strengthen rather
than withdraw forces from that
area, which contains rich oil
fields and has always been con-
sidered the principal objective Of
Hitler's summer campaign.
ROmmel Will Take Chances.
Only small force can be with
drawn from India, since the
Japanese are at the gateway of
that country and the British have
barely sufficient troops to man
the lines covering Calcutta and
Madras. Hence. whatever REIN
forcements are sent to the bat
tered force defending Egypt will
have to come by way of the South
Atlantic, around South Africa to
the Red Sea.
Marshal Rommel has demon
strated that he believes in strik-
ing while the iron is hot, and
that he is not afraid to take
chances Today he probably feels
more than ever that he can take
q chance and rush the attack
against Egypt, after having Sc
verely hammered one of the i'm
portant defending armies.
A setback to his highly mobile
forces, in the event he cannot
break through the fortified lines,
would be of relatively slight con-
sequence. He has ample terri
