There Is nothing in the consti-
tuition or canons of the church that
require our presiding bishop to have

den him with any" said Br Brown
He has sufficient real jurisdiction
as it is.
He is president of the National
Council. including the Domestic and
Foreign Missionary Society, and as
such directs the general missionary

abroad.

All missionary bishops must re-
port annually to him.
He has oversight Of all the
American churches in Europe and
foreign lands not within the juris-
diction of any bishop of this church.
He also has many other duties
and jurisdictions provided by can
ons.
Retirement Planned.
Now in regard to his retirement:
When the church requires its
presiding bishop to resign from his
diocese he no longer has diocese
to return to after his retirement
as presiding bishop. which time is
set by canon the nearest general
convention after his 68th birthday.
So the same provision is suggested
for our presiding bishop as is the

Even now our presiding bishop is

fields. How much more in the future
will this be necessary, as new fields
are being opened. as new victories
are being won by the Allies.
Another reason is that Washing
ton is conveniently located between
the North and the South. and trains
reach out in all directions toward
the West. After the war Washing
ton probably will be the hub of one
of the greatest commercial airlines
OF all times. Washington also has
trains running every hour to New
York so that it will be convenient
for the presiding bishop to attend

practice with our missionaries,
This set-up is the simplest and
easiest as it only needs a few canons
to be passed to accomplish it. Then
it would be possible for the general
convention to elect any bishop in
the whole church as presiding
bishop"
If the general convention adopts
the report OF its committee it is
understood arrangements would be
made to fit the presiding bishop into
the Cathedral situation, and to fit
the new Bishop OF Washington into
the entire arrangements made con-
corning the presiding bishop. The
possibility exists that there would
be two bishops on Mount st. Albans
the presiding bishop and the
Bishop of Washington. The dean
of the Cathedral, it is believed.
would be given larger responsible

The Villa airfield appears to be
the next objective of the Solomons
offensive.
It must be taken to assure the
Allies of the greatest possible use
of the Munda base. It has been
bombed by planes many times and

Danger to Rabaul.
After Army engineers repair the
damage done by bombers to the
Munda airstrip Rabaul will be
within range of fighter planes for
the first time. Lack of fighter pro-
lection has limited bombing at
tacks on Rabaul to night raids.
