 Father Conway said in substance that now is the time to concern our selves with the provisions set forth in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, which he said are to be highly recommended as far as they go; but they do not embrace quite enough. He would suggest preamble to the proposals. In regard to this he said that in recent checkup Of the three groups above mentioned who drew up the tri-religion plans, each re- 1igious organization made its own study and all arrived at similar de- cisions on the Dumbarton Oaks pro- posals-the necessity of preamble
 Father Conway opened his lecture with tribute to the tone of Pres 1dent Roosevelt's inaugural address, in which he said in part that we shall not make mistakes by aban- doning moral principles in vic- tory and peace we shall strive for perfection.

 Young wrote tO the president two weeks ago reminding him of the bet. Asked why he hadn't collected the bet before, he replied:

Lead- CTS in Washington, in the State Department, he continued. want to please the people, and now is the time to inquire into the substance of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals not later when it is too late to make changes
 TheOrizing Past
 Things are different now from Versailles. he said. At that time the union of world order and peace settlements were brought up and decided at the same time. He would recommend here the plan of the union first, later following with peace settlements.
 The time for theorizing is past, Father Conway said. Do these pro- posals (Dumbarton Oaks) satisfy the minimum requirements? He does not think they do in entirety, nor do the tri-faith groups in their study of them.
 Suggestions made by Father Con- way were for people Of all faiths to make themselves familiar with the Dumbarton Oaks proposals and with the Pattern for Peace, and to voice objections and make SuggeS- tions. It is the peoples obligation to do this now, he said, and not later, through publicizing the issue through their churches, study clubs and so on. Father Conway dis cussed the negative and positive as poets of the Dumbarton Oaks pro- posals, which he termed Top sided document, saying that the proposals do not dig deep enough, " do not say enough about the fu- ture of small nations, international law, nor have enough considera- ton for the moral law, the law that comes from God disarmament which latter, the speaker says, gets mere lip service in the proposals The critiques of the tri-re- ligion groups all found these omis- sions or shortcomings. which sug- gested to them preamble, and a more definite affirmation as to the moral law, more assurance for small nations. All, notwithstanding, ap- prove the Dumbarton Oaks docu- ment as set up by representative of the flee nations, United States England, Russia, China and France with the suggestions they have for mulatcd for a preamble that vii take into account some of these things.
 Appeals for Support It will be two months he Sait before the draft for the proposals will be drawn, therefore, the people are urged to consider if they wan them or like them as they now stand. It is smart to be moral right now, Father Conway said HI cited an instance of what could b' accomplished through Congress, il 1 the presentation in the House o the proposals as drawn up by tn thre religious groups through representative In closing he en couraged support of the people Il support of the proposals ard il suggestions for improvement.
