Resolution Calling War 'Un christian' Laid Before Convention Taft's Son Gives Mission $252,000 By CHAHI.E B. CO A TEA Associated Press Staff Writer ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct, 13. (AP) A resolution calling war "un christian," and pledging the Eplsco pal church to unrelenting opposition to the "war system," was placed be fore the house of deputies at the 61st triennial convention of tha Protestant Eplscopsl church In the United States today. Presented by the Rev. Elmore D. McWee of Buffalo, the resolution Is one which was adopted by the diocese of western New York at Its diocesan convention. It calls for the appoint' ment of a special commission of four bishops, four prcsbyterys and four lay men to "explore the field of Inter- church co-operation In the cause of peace with the hope that a North American conferencse of churches or a world conference on war and peace might result." Plan Early Action The resolution was placed on the calendar for early action. A second resolution, offered by the Rev. Dr. Howard Chandler Bobbins of New York, would give conclentlous objectors of any church the status of Quakers in time of war. This resolution was referred to committee. The controversy of "high church" i. "low church," possible changes in the ecclaslastto law relating to mar riage and divorce, and, most pressing of all, the problem of financial sup port for the domestic and foreign missions loomed large on the conven tion agenda.
