DENVER. Colo. Dec. ia re-
cording by Secretary Of State
designate Dulles is expected to
highlight today's late session
of the National Council Of
Churches.
Mr.. Dulles had been originally
scheduled to address the councils
biennial meeting last night. But
President-elect Eisenhower. on
the way home from Korea. had
summoned him and other Cabinet
officers to a top-level conference
q few days earlier and he had
to cancel his appearance here.
Mr.. Dulles, who has been active
in council affairs since the body
was organized in December, 1850,
recorded his speech so 1t could
be delivered to the delegates
here.
Mr.. Dulles had already severed
his official, connection with the
council.
Council officers disclosed here
that he resigned as member
of the councils department of in
ternational justice and good will
shortly after Gen. Eisenhower
named him to the cabinet.
Dodge Sees War Averted.
Nearly 5000 persons at civic au-
ditorium last night heard Senator
Lodge, Republican, Of Massachu-
sets declare the United Nations
has deferred Russia from starting
q major war. Senator Lodge has
been designated by Gen. Eisen-
hover to be chairman OF the
United States delegation to the
United Nations when the new ad-
ministration takes Office next
month.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that one major reason why
the Soviet Union. in spite OF its
overwhelming military power in
Europe and Asia, refrains from
open-armed aggression is because
world opinion. as developed in the
assembly of the United Nations
is a very real deterrent" the
Senator declared.
The speaker claimed the
worlds greatest adventure in
building collective security is the
United Nations"
Notes Assembly's Influence.
While the U. N. has not lived
up ito all that was hoped for it, )"
the Senator asserted it has never
theless been a real success. The
Assembly, for example. is an open
forum for the world which exerts
q powerful influence on the thought
of peoples all over the world"
If the U. N. did not now exist,
Senator Lodge declared men OF
good will throughout the world"
would be trying to create similar
body.
But the Massachusetts lawmaker
warned that foreign policy must
be dealt with on moral basis
or it will not be dealt with at all.
We can solve it on a moral basis.
We can do it by showing that we
mean what we say when we pro-
claim to the world that no mans
race and no mans creed and no
mans color shall count against
him in his human rights"
Sees Danger in Bias.
"Our determinations are not
only in conflict with Christian
ideals" in this area. he asserted,
but they are real danger to the
success of our foreign policy"
Peoples overseas are suspicious
of our Government gifts to them,
the Senator said.
They tend to think either that
we want to get something in ex-
change for the grant or they will
conclude that we are doing it out
of bureaucratic stupidity" he ex-
planned. What we must hope for
is not gratitude, but a feeling Of
mutuality of interest-that we
want them to be successful be-
cause their success helps us,
which, of course, is the plain
truth"
Bishop Stresses Support.
Methodist Bishop G. Gromley
Oman of Washington said today
that the unity evidenced here
, means the Protestant voice will
be heard in the Nations Capital
and Protestant convictions may
make a contribution to and
strengthen the national morality"
", II am hopeful that the pres
. ence here of Senator Lodge last
night will tell the Nation the
Protestant churches have had and
will continue to have great faith
in the United Nations" Bishop
Oman added.
He told The Star the Methodist
Baltimore annual conference drive

Seminary will be held next No
