lSIER
Three hundred Christian
ministers, and leaders, includ.
ing one who wrote, "You may
list me as an Honor Graduate
U. S. Naval cademy, 1888,
"have signed "a Letter to AM
erican Christians Of Draft Age
advocating that on Christian
grounds they should break
with was and stating, 1--WE be-
lieve breaking with war means
refusal to enlist in the armed
forces; withdrawal from arm
ed forces for those in then; re-
fusal to register or render any
service under a CONSUMPTION
act" This information was
given to the press jointly by
Allan Knight Chalmers, D. D.
until recently minister Of the
broadway Tabernacle, New
York, and now professor in the
Boston University School of
Theology, and A. J. Music, the
Presbyterian minister and the
national Secretary Of the Eel

The Letter furthehr advoc-
ated that "the girl friends, Sis
tiers, mothers, fathers, Christ
ian ministers and fellow-chur-
oh members Of these young
men should support them OPP
emily and SO far as possible i'd
entity themselves with them"
1t asserts that political and
military leaders will not have
the incentive to abandon war
as a last resort so long as they
know that in the show down
they can depend upon the you
tn Of the nation to subscribe to
CONSUMPTION again. The effect
is that war (now camouflaged
as cold) remains the first and
only resort of national policy
1t is anticipated that a con-
ference to promote the non
registration movement will be
held in the very near future.

STATE OF THE NATION
When Congress Falters
BY Roscoe Drummond,
Chief, Washington Bureau,
The Christian Science Monitor

=. Washington Temporarily,
at least, Congress is giving the
country and the world a dam
gerous demonstration of demo
cratic confusion.
The Communist propagan-
dists, in Europe and in Amer
lea, are turning to theinr pur-
/: poses every sign that the Uni
ted States cannot keep its hand
firmly on the helm of world
leadership and carry on a pres
idential polotical campaign at
the same time.
At the moment the political
forces which dominate the Ho
use of Representatives are he
edlessly and recklessly playing
into the hands of the Soviet
Communists. They could not
be serving the Communists
better if Henry Wallace had
already been elected-and OBJ
viously it is not their real int
ention to do SO.
And what is it that is max.
ing the European-American
Communists so gleefl-and.
SO hopeful? 1t is this:
Two months ago, with the
manifest support of the nation
Congress decisively enacted
the European Recovery Pro-
, gram, the 10 Marshal Plan cou-
ntries organized to do their
part, and the shadow of the "ir-
on curtain" began to lift in
western Europe. The congress
mittees examined detailed evil
dence on how much money
| should be utilized for this pur-
pose, and both the House and
the Senate authorized and ap-
preparation Of So billion, 800
million for the first II months.
The House vote was 32o to "a;
the Senate vote, 90 to L..
After this action, after this
congressional assurance that
Europe was not to be left to
be Communist pray, last week
the House of Representatives,
at the initiative of the isolat-
ionist Chairman Of its APPROX
riations Committee, Represent
alive John Taber (R) Of New
York, abruptly reversed its de-
cision, repudiated its assur-
ance, and casually Topped 81,
billion 800 million from ERP.
1t is a careful statement
of fact to say that such a reduc
ton of funds transforms the
Marshall Plan from an instru-
ment Of recovery to a method
of dole destined to fail before
lit is begun.
The second divisive action
of the house of Representative
was to emasculate the Recipro-
cal Trade Agreements Act and
then to renew it for a year in
stead of the customary three
years-a renewal which, if the
House attitude prevails, has
every earmark Of being not a
renewal Of life but a one-year
reprieve before burial.
With one hand the Ameri-
can Government is urging the
nations Of western Europe
and, indeed, Of all the. world
to find ways Of opening wider
the channels of world trade,
and now with the other, that
Of the House Of Representative
es, it is warning the world that
it is getting ready to weaken
greatly, if not abandon alto
gether, one of the principal
means Of widening the channel
Of world trade.
Finally, in its haste and Gag
erness to adjourn before the
Philadelphia conventions, Con
gress is turning the cold eye
upon important social welfare
legislation to which both part
les have been paying lip serv-
ice at every expedient moment
flor the past eight years. Rep

Diplomatic Immunity
Extended 10 226 in
Delegations 10 U. N.
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. THE
United States tonight extended
diplomatic immunities and priyi-
leges to 226 persons stationed in
this vicinity as members of United
Nations delegations.
The 226 were named in a pre-
liminary list sent to Acting Secre-
tary- General Byron Price by War
rem r. Austin, American chief
delegate. They represented 80 of the
81 countries in the U. N.
A spokesman for the American
delegation said some countries
maintained no permanent delega-
ton at U. N. headquarters while
others were not represented on the
list because they had not sub
mitted list of their representa-
tives.
The action means that in the
future the 226 diplomats will be
exempt from all direct taxes and
will be free from court action while
in the United States. They get
virtually the same privileges al
ready extended to 780 diplomats in
Washington.
The list was filed with the U. N.
under terms of the headquarters
agreement which went into effect
late in 1947.
The American delegation an
nounced it was sending to each of
those on the list an Identification
card, issued by the State Depart
ment, as evidence of the special
status granted under the U. N.
agreement.
Among the taxes which the diplo-
mats will not have to pay are lux
ury taxes, Federal excise taxes and
communications taxes. They already
are exempt from the New York
City sales tax. Discussions are in
progress on methods of. obtaining
exemption from States taxes on
liquor and gasoline.

$50 Million Spent Abroad
By U. s. Tourists in fo47
BY the Assoeioted Press

Americans spent 100000 for
foreign travel in 1947, the Com
merce Department estimated yes
terday.
The total was fourth above
1916 and about the same as the
previous high mark of boomtime
1929.
American steamship and airlines
took in about $95,000.000 of this
money: foreign ship and air lines,
$45 100000. The rest was spent in
the foreign countries, helping them
against their dollar shortage.
Canada, Mexico and the Carib-
bean area drew more than three
fourth of all the American tourists
dollars.
This shift away from European
and Mediterranean areas was not
just a new or temporary postwar
development, the department said
