Presbyterian Leader
Fears U.S.. Trend
To PAGAN Isolation
BY the Associated Press

-
CHICAGO, May 25.-Dr. Henry
Sloan Coffin, retiring moderator Of
the General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church in the United
States of America, asserted today
there is danger" of return to 1.-THE
hideous pagan isolationism" of pre-
war days as shown by the constant
utterances of some newspapers and
the cautious silence of some politi-
cians."
DR.. Coffin, president of Union
Theological Seminary in New York
in an address at the opening of the
156th annual General Assembly as
serted that only fraction of church
members seriously took a world on
their consciences" in the past. Now
he said, more persons were realizing
"that no nation can live to ITSELF .
Pleads for Tolerance.
Declaring obsolete economic
structures" must be torn down. he
asserted that mo plan of interna-
tional cooperation to maintain or
der and secure peace has the slight
est chance of success which does not
get all peoples employed with pros
pect of an equitable share in the
goods God makes available to our
world.
Asserting it would be "even more
difficult" to remove racial discrim-
inations, he said: 1T is sorry and
alarming fact that Anglo Saxon
white Protestants seem to be i'm
hued with more feeling of racial su-
periority. = There is no Christian
justification for an outlook which
assigns lower economic level to
nonwhites, which maintains a caste
system in jobs, which denies the bal
lot on the basis of color"
Cites Soviet Aid to Jews.
DR.. Conrad Hoffman,, jr., New
York. of the Presbyterian Board of
National Missions, declared yester-
day that Soviet Russia, now with
almost as many Jews as in the
United States, may compete with us
for (the) dominant influence on
world Jewry."
Dr. Honmann, speaking at the
Conference on Evangelism of the
Assembly declared:
Irrespective of motives, Russia is
doing things on behalf of Jewry.
whereas we continue to discuss the
pros and cons and the how of doing
things for them"
He said there are 100000 Jews
In the world, and 100000 live in
the United States.
While the United States has re-
mained 'most niggardly in regard
to welcoming Jewish refugees"
Russia ''has given them asylum and
hospitality" he added.
Church spokesmen said mergers
with the Protestant Episcopal
church and the Southern Presbv-
terians (the Presbyterian Church in
the United States would be dis
cussed, but no decisive action was
expected.
