|Church Will Return
Social Justice 10 All,
Wallace Declares

Vice President Wallace today told
a conference of Methodist clergy
men and religious editors that
though the cloudy religion of man"
is trying to fill a space during war
time, it is evident the true church
will eventually return social justice
to all people
The Vice President spoke at
meeting of the churchmen held in
the Senate cancuS room.
During the morning session in
the Methodist Building, Associate
Justice Rutledge of the Supreme
Court told the group the principle
of free thought is basic, regardless
of race or creed. There should be
an equality of protection and free
dom for all people"
Justice, he declared, is the factor
enabling men to live together. 1--WE
should protect the opportunity for
our conscience to work its force on
the hearts of men and their minds"
he said. There is justice in the uni
verse. he added, and this will be-
come dominant.
Justice Rutledge also maintained
the United Nations would fail in
victory if they debase themselves to
the level of their enemies. Victory
will be lost if statesmen do not
maintain a statesmanlike policy in
peacetime, he said.
The jurist received a small gavel
made in the Baxter Methodist Semi
nary in Tennessee of wood taken
from the law Office of the late
Justice Samuel F. Miller. The two
Supreme Court jurists had similar
careers in Kentucky and Missouri
before going on the Supreme Court
bench.
DR.. Paul F. Douglass opened the
meeting and presented to the group
an eight-point summary of contem-
porary problems as defined by vari-
Gus court decisions which, in his
estimation, Indicated that "the de-
velopment of a welfare State with
intervening national authority Is
showing substantial strength"
