It if sot expected that the eoancil will approve of all of these pro posals; In fact, the commission in sending out the proposed creed. saya: "Tneae affirmations are launched for the discussion which they may provoke. They are pot proposed as the final statement. nor are they set forth as the uiaoruaiive statement of any group. It is hoped that out of wide discussion there may come further suggestions which may be Incorporated in a social creed Which will proposed to the na tional council jneetinz In Wash tngton." . The commission believes the proposed social creed, while iot perfoct, is far superior; to the eid one adopted by the federal council in 1908, and recommends to J he national council that It sug gest tnat the federal council of churches submit this draft to all ine denominations within their membership for criticism and dis cussion. After this is done the commission hopes that the federal council may adopt U with such changes and modifications as then seems' best. i AMERICA IS MENACED TODAY JUST AS ENGLAND IS, SAYS THIS WRITER OommBBlst .

' In his youth he became afflicted with tu berculosis and .doctors diagnosed his ease as incurable. Guenzlger, however, took up a personal study of his case and read thoroughly a large number of medical books. Prom these he outlined a special diet and mode of living for himself and continued to work at his trade until a few years ago. '!':' (The following article appeared as an editorial In a recent Issue of the New Haven Register, one . of the great. and conservative news papers of this country.) That England is hard hit by la bor conditions has long been known in this country. Just how bard hit, however, is only now coming to .the surface, and the new is giving deep concern to in dustrial leaders both here and abroad.' When such a noted conservative as Sir Samuel Instone, head of the great coal industries, comes out with an unreserved approval of the nationalization of the railway sys tems of Great Britain in the In terest of harmony, and "as the Only means of staving off Soviet ism" it would seem time to give deep thought to the movement that is gradually eating the vitals cut of the foremost nation of Eur ope. if not of the world. Open efforts by communists to win soldiers and sailors from' their allegiance to the government and prepare them for mutiny next spring, when the Red leaders as sert capitalism is getting ready to wage unrestricted war against la bor, are recorded in the British press from .-day to ' day, and, strange to say, seem only to awaken a desire to meet the effort with counter applications of mod ern socialism Instead of a stern ef fort to eradicate the entire evil. The constant work of proselyt ers of Bolshevism over the entire world is making itself felt with arimmeucai progression, appar ently. If it continues Jn its unin terrupted advance the entire world will be won to this unspeakable condition in another 10 years, at most 1 Right here in New Haven daily efforts by trained 'Bolshevistic missionaries are . In evidence TheBe men, sent here by the Third Internationale, are engaged in many lines of .business, but that is only a cloak to their real work.' Like the Mormon missionaries that are sent out from, Utah every day, these men and women ' are dis patched from Moscow daily to re mote places, there to seek employ ment, or to go Into business, that brings them in contact with many people dally. In their work they keep everlastingly spreading the noxious poison of Sovietism. tell ing untruthful tales of conditions existing In Russia, and always stirring hatred of our government. and all that it stands for. all that it has done and all that it is doing, : Their approach is guarded Where they attack families of the upper classes, so-called. Here the missionary may be the vegetable man, who comes daily to sell po tatoes, corn and what not. Usual ly he is educated, possibly college trained abroad, but surely no mean debater, and filled with the wiles of the diplomat. Gradually be tells of Improvement that So vietism has wrought in Russia; how crime has been dissipated en tirely, how life has been made one long sweet song of joy and no work. Then he gradually moves forward in his work until he is supplying tracts that are designed to instill the poison more deeply. Finally, here and there, he has won a family from Its deep love o the American flag and turned It to the red standard of bolshevlsm.

This is what has been going on in London until, society la verita bly honeycombed with "pinks", ai they call the "high toned" con verts to communism. New York Is absolutely infested ' with these men and women, these mission aries, and they have made thous ands of converts by stories of con ditions and results that are as un true as they are themselves. No story of Bolshevistic success snouia oe oeiievea until every means has been taken to prove its truth, for it Is by untruth that tnese creatures make tneir con verts.
