On 'Gnat Controversies
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-A "one-
year moratorium" on "gnat con-
troversies" between clergymen of
different faiths is proposed by a
Roman Catholic priest to the Ma
tional Conference of Christians and
Jews.
The Rev. Joseph Cantillon, S. J.,
suggested at a luncheon of the
groups national Board of Directors
that prejudice would be reduced if
religious leaders ceased their minor
controversies in religious fields.
The priest, chairman of the de-
partment of religious of st. Peters
College, Jesuit institution in Jer-
sey City, declared:
II wish, for example, that priests
would stop defending Francisco
Franco, while Protestant ministers
would forget the Spanish Inquisi-
ton when discussing Spain.
Similarly, wish rabbis who de-
nounce anti-Semitism would also
denounce Christianity.
The Board of Directors laid pre-
liminary plans for a program to
combat religious prejudice between

MILLIONS of citizens in the

purpose of Soviet leaders to con-

to specific instances to make their
point. Each nation should state
definitely and eategorically that
it has no design on the territorial

The theological competition be-

The U.S.S.R., the U.SA,, Great

NEITHER the U.S.A. nor the
U.S.S.R. should send arms into
China. Both the U.S.A. and the

Both the U.SA. and the
U.S.S.R. should adhere to the
principle of equal rights for all
nations in China, with respect
for the sovereignty of China, and
refrain from interference in the
internal affairs of China. Both
the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. can
benefit from a China which is
strong and unified on the basis

A peace treaty with Japan
based on agreements heretofore
arrived at should be made at the
earliest possible moment. Both
the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. have
a vital interest in a democratic

nations having occupations troops
in Japan should withdraw them
within year after the signing
of the peace treaty with Japan.

THE excessive use of the veto
