and better social order.
Among the 25 proposals of the

j..' That the church no longer

always be subordinated to the wel
fare of the nation as a whole.
That in industry and eco

. Conciliation, and arbitration

quate 'means for the same.

come from a real service. -
6. Recognition of the right of i

ment. 1 'I.;.-.". -.: i - .- i
7. The farmer shall hare access
to the land be works on such
terms as will insure him personal
freedom and economic encourage
ment, while society is amply pro
tected by efficient production and
conservation of fertility, and that
the cost of market distribution
from farmer toconsumer shall be
cut toj the lowest possible terms.
both farmers and consumers shar
ing in itheae economies.
8. That in education there
should be the building of a social
order ln which every child has
the best opportunity for develop
ment and the conservation -of
health,; including instruction in sex
hygiene, 'abundant and wholesome
recreation facilities, and education
for leisure, including a nation
wide system -of adult education
9. Efficient rural organization
along all lines. . s.
10. That in racial relations
there shall be the same protection
and rights for therjraces in
America that we ourselves enjoy,
especially ieglslation against lynch
ing, and that racial discrimination
shall be eliminated and full broth
erly treatment for all races 'in
America shall be substituted),
11. ! And in international rela
tions there shall be the removal
of every unjust barrier of trade,
color, ; creed and . race, and the
practice of equal justice for all
nations. That the old methods of
secret diplomacy and secret treat
ies are today unnecessary and on
Christian. : 12. That the nations should as
sociate t themselves permanently
fpr peace and the outlawry of war.
; It is expected that these' propos
als will provoke wide discussion
and that vigorous difference of
opinions will J in evidence. 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

irjENTENARIAN OWN DOCTOR
SOLEURE, Switzerland Jacob
Guenriger, a watchmaker, died re
cently at the age of 100. ' 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

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

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.

their doctrines among the middle
classes even among the wealthiest

is certain right here in New Haven ( simply becaase we are' too busy
today. - I doing other things, but It U .a fact
One must be on his guard every that at the recent Lenin tnexaor-
hour to meet these attacks, for
they are made with a care that
beggars detection, except when one
is on guard in every nerve and
every sense. Once the germ is
judiciously administered the vic
tim takes the second dose more
easily and then the work is done
and the Imbiber has become ' an
addict hopeless in many cases.
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

means has been taken to prove its
truth, for it Is by untruth that
tnese creatures make tneir con
verts.
America is menaced today just
as England is. The results do not
