Council Of Churches
Asked 10 Back Firm
Dealings With Soviet
BY the Associoisd Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar IA
proposal for firm but sympathetic
dealings with the Soviet Union de-
spite growing strains came before
the special postwar policy meeting
today of the Federal Council, of
Churches of Christ in America.
The recommendation was en-
bodied in a report approved by a
section studying the churches in a
world order last night and pre-
sented today to the closing general
sessions of the three-day meeting
of representatives of Protestant
Churches with 25,000 900 members.
The problem of world order is
complicated by the fact that ma
tions differ in their religious, social,
economic and political patterns, :"
said the report prepared under the
cha1rmanship of John Foster
Dulles, head of the councils Com
mission on Just and Durabl
Peace and former adviser to
Thomas E. Dewey, 1914 Republican
presidential candidate.
Can't Ignore Tensions.
This is particularly true in the
case OF the Soviet Union and the
Western democracies. We cannot
ignore the tensions which arise
from these differences"
Admitting with humility" that
the democracies' religious and po-
litical freedom had mot solved the
social and economic problems of our
society" the report continued:
Our first task is to demonstrate
that our Christian faith can enable
all men to enjoy fullness of life
to an extent which not only equals
but surpasses that which any other
faith can accomplish. Such a DEM
onstration of the practical applica-
tions of our faith will bring into
being world which is responsive
to that faith.
In our efforts to relieve tensions
which arise from differing convic-
tions, we dare not compromise our
faith. Standing firm in our convic-
tions, We must persistently seek
sympathetic understanding, encour-
age every friendly negotiation and
undertake constructive tasks of
common concern"
Calls for Arms Cut.
The report also called for:
/. The Government to choose
competent delegates" to the United
Nations Council and make its ap-
pointments known In sufficient time
to permit adequate preparation for
effective leadership"
2. international reduction of arm
aments.
3. An international bill of human
rights.
4. Recognition of the proposed
loan to Great Britain as the kind
Of practical assistance which Is i'm
perative for world order"
5. Subordination of national in
terest to a higher moral law and to
the welfare of the whole family of
God"
Shortly after President Truman
had remarked in his address to the
council yesterday that if each church
and synagogue congregation in the
country opened spare rooms to only
four veterans. a million veterans
and their families could receive tenn
porary shelter until new houses are
available, section meeting an
nounced a call to local churches
everywhere to sponsor share the
housing" prOgramS bV March II.

Russians Accept Bid
To Send Observers
To Monetary Farley
BY the Associated Press

Russia has belatedly accepted ar
invitation to send observers to the
international Monetary Conference
opening tomorrow at Savannah
Ga, the Office of an American dele
gate reported today.
1t was the Russians first show
of interest in the meeting, although
the Soviet signed the 1914 Breton
Woods pacts and was to have beer
the third heaviest contributor tc
the international fund and bank
to be set up at Savannah.
Attendance of the Soviet observ-
ers, however, does not necessarily
mean their formal participation. A
Russian group sat through the Que
bee Food and Agricultural Confer
ence last October, but did not sigr
the organization charter when the
session ended.
Embassy Makes Request.
The Russian Embassy. it was
learned, telephoned the State De-
partment yesterday requesting space
for five or six persons on the spe-
cial conference train leaving fol
Savannah at 10 o'clock tonight. I'm
like the other nine countries sending
observers, however, Russia did not
identify its representatives.
Meanwhile, other American Of.
ficials disclosed that the United
States has decided to press for early
admission OF Italy into the Interna.
tional Bank and Fund.
The officials, whose identity may
not be disclosed, said this Govern
ment feels that Italy should be
accepted into membership in both
the bank and fund even though
q peace treaty has not yet been
signed with the former Axis partner
which later became a co-belligerent
with the Allies.
No Obstacle Seen.
The officials said they are pre-
pared to insist that the lack of a
peace treaty should not be deemed
an obstacle"
The extent of possible opposition
from other nations is not known
they said, "but it is not believed
sufficient to prevent it."
BY becoming a member of the
International Bank, Italy woulc
become eligible to apply for 9
large-scale loan to assist in re-
habilitation.
Italian officials currently are ne.
gotiating with Export Import Bank
authorities for a loan of about
$3.50, ,000, 900 with only slim prospects
of obtaining additional credit dur
in 1916. The Italian government
has estimated that Italy will neec
a total of s940, 600, 900 for the initial
phase of her reconstruction.
Earlier Offer Ignored.
A State Department representa-
tive in charge of advance arrange
ments reported in Savannah earlier
today that the Soviet Government
had not even replied TO an invita-
ton to send an observer to the
sessions.
Thus far, no reservations have
been made for Russian represen.
tative at the Gen. Oglethorpe Hotel
scene of the conference.
