between French and American au

desired to meet the wishs of the

serious doubts as to the advisability
of removing the American dead from

nlg to labor and transportation dif
ficulties Involving the passing of
.the bodies over the railways and
highways at a time when the French
population was In the first stage of
its recovery from the economic and
sentimental strain of five years of
war. The French government fear
ed that the granting of such permis
sion to America would bring on
clamorous agitation from other na
tions for similar permission and that
this would hamper the rehabilita
tion of French Industrial conditions.
American officers, however, have
vigorously urged that the number
of Americans In the zone of opera

NO EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
Practically all the education for
Central African natives Is In the
hands of the missionaries, according
to the surveys of the Interchurch
World Movement, made public at the
county conference. In some cases
governments subsidize these schools.
The generally sparse population of
Africa means that greater distances
must be covered by the missionary In
reaching a given number of people
than in other countries.

INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT
TO HOLD PROGRAMMING
CONFERENCE HERE SOON
This county Is due for a thorough
Protestant overhauling, according to
speakers at the Interchurch World
Movement county conference repre
senting the homo survey department
of the state. This department Is mak
ing extensive Investigations in every
section of Oregon.
The survey In this county has not
yet progressed far enough to furnish
material for a cumplete report on con
ditions, said the representative of the
survey departmc it. but whpn it is
secured a "prop a i ;ii j t. inference"
will be held to determine future
church activities.
"The programming conference tn
Benton county, where the surveys
have been completed, shows what may
ba expected here." said ho. "The first
finding of the committee appointed to
estimate and report on conditions was
a declaration for a minimum wag
for pastors of 11200 and house.
"Rural communities where former
ly two or more churches laboring un
der financial handicaps had been
struggling along most unsatisfactorily
were recommended to the sole care
of one or anotbor of the Protestant
churches of the county, with the re
sult thst in these rural districts here
after there are to be fewer, but
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH CHINA?
Much that was constructive or pre
servative In Chins under the old social
regime Is either helpless in the face
of modern problems or has Itself com
menced to dlssppesr, according to the
surveys of the Interchurch World
Movement, msde public at the county
conference. Very Utile more can be
said according to the survey with
reference to her religions. Kach of
them Confucianism, Taoism, Buddh
Ism contains elements of splrltusl
value and admirable ethical teachings
which have doubtless contributed to
China's strength in the past. Dut
despite their elements of worth they
have admittedly proved unqiitl to the
task of producing llio highest type of
Individual character or of Initiating
forces a'jd movements cspable of re
generating aoclety. And this Is China's
all-inclusive, vital need, for she Is
drifting in a way that makes her a
peril to herself and a menses to tha
world.
