Three hundred and twenty millions are to be expended in 1920. Presby terians and Methodista joined in pro testing the original selection of the period between April 21 and May 2 as the time for the drive to raise this year's Iuota. 'Dr. Nolan R. Best, a.

Dr. Downey said the world surveys of the inter-church world movement, which It was .proposed to use as a basis for the $320,000,000 drive, arc "incomplete and inconclusive." fLter considerable discussion the administration plan to have the eam palgn this year was adopted.

Another discussion occurred over the manner in which the funds to he raised In the co-operative "ingather Ing" are to be apportioned. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., proposed that all .money received through the central Iroasury, aside from the severqI de nominational funds, be distributed among the various active denonina tions pro-rata. A substitute plan advanced by Dr. C. 4i. Patton of 'Boston, 'who present ed the report, proposed that the gen eral fund be apportioned on the basis of actual collections made by the de nominations. When a fight seemed Imminent on the (iuention it was re ferred to the general committee to be appointed later, -which is to rule 'upon all questions in conflict. iD OF eAPITALSTS GIVEN GOVERNMENT Vast Samas Were Spent by CapitilIstas to Aid Government in Making Ex plosives.
