ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May "a
Three thousand delegates to the
1914 Northern Baptist Convention
heard speakers at their opening ses-
sions> yesterday appeal for unity
within the church, urge immediate
consideration of current moral anc
social problems" and commend
human brotherhood" as a lasting
basis for peace.
In an address before last night S
session, Francis B. Sayre. diplo-
matte adviser to the United Ma
tionS Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-
ministration and former High Com

The only peace that can endure is
a peace based on human brother
hood"
He urged "elimination of the old
conception of balance of power, a
peace treaty that is not based on
the exploitation of human beings
and Christian peace based on eco
nomic freedom"
Another speaker, Prof. Herbert
Gezork, general secretary of the
German Baptist Youth Movement
until it was dissolved under the
Hitler government, and now men,
Der of the conventions postwar
planning commission, said, people
often ask me rather smugly whether
moral conditions in Hitler's. Ger
many really are as bad as they are
described in some books and
movies.
Il can truthfully say that they
are, in this field, not worse than
anything we face here. We, as a
Nation, are leading the world in

vorces."
