HEATED DEBATE AT CONVENTION RESOLUTIONS SENT BACK FOR ; REVISION. ^ 'Ticklish" Matter, Says Secretary .< c m: : u W? 1 W<CIJ(U IT1IUIWU> waiu of Lutherans. ] -? i; Washington, Oct. 21.?The lan-j 4 guage of two resolutions formed by j ] the foreign missions board and urg- j J ^ ing removal by unnamed govern- J j raents of wartime restrictions on mis-!. sionary activities provoked heated j ( i debate today at the bi-ennial con- i, * vention of the United Lutheran j j church. They were finally sent backj, to the board for redrafting. i r Throughout the discussion no specific reference was made to the j nationality of mission workers said i to be hampered by the restrictions^ nor to the government imposing them I' at which the resolutions were aimed.! Dr. L. B. Wolfe of Baltimore, secre-j tary of the board, declared it was a j matter and that he could i not ''speak with a great deal of freedom." The convention itself amended the I second resolution before sending the whole matter back to the mission board. On motion from the floor the words "and that the liberty to preach the gospel everywhere be restored to us and to all-other Christians of whatever name and nationality," were stricken out. u Dr. Charles L. Browne of the mission board said the restrictions did ^ not apply, to the church but concerned certain individuals whom the board could not send into certain . fields. Several delegates declared they were in sympathy with the purpose of the resolution but did not like the v wording. "I am in sympathy with the prin, ciple, but I can not vote the principle misstated," declared Dr. 0. H. WeHer of Philadelphia. "Our church J ? mm cnoli im nftf nnr /In crnv-1 ernments contravene her right to preach the gospel in any place^ in the * known world. If individuals are pre vented, from preaching it must be for reasons that have made them personnao non gratia. "I am an American citizen and a loyal member of the United Lutheran Church in America and as such I can not vote for interference of the church with the' state nor stand meekly without bearing testimony if Vin efota aval* nndai?fAftV intf.r". ! WAV UVUWV V v VJ> UUUVA VVVAk VV I | - . -i J fere with the church." J The Rev. Mr. Krouch, president of i the New York Ministerium,. declared. "we should not retrench one step from the resolutions which have been presented to us." The convention adopted resolution. recommending that theological seminaries be reestablished in India and Japan,. The whole Japanese agitation/' Dr. Browne declared in a sermon to nxgnt, "is to be iound in the competition for the development and cartying on of commerce in China." The leading Japanese thinkers,. he said, "deplore above all things any misunderstanding with the United States.- Japan needsVChina as a great market for goods, and the Japanese have a feeling of keen sensitiveness j about any movement that may tend to limit Japanese commerce." COX CHARGES ROOT , , WITH PLAIN EVASION Democratic Candidate in Second Telegram Declares Long Dissertation On Article 10 Does Not Correct Misrepresentation Made in Political Address. . ( Newark, N. J., Oct. 22.?Charges that Elihu Root has misrepresented his league, of nations position were reiterated by Governor Cox of Ohio in another telegram sent Mr. Root today during the- Democratic presidential candidate's New Jersey campaign.' . *. !;/.,* In this message and in more than half dozen speeches today in his one day tour of New Jersey, Governor Cox reiterated that he would accept "helpful" reservations. Trenton, Camden, Newark and Jersey City tonight were visited by the governor. Governor Cox's telegram today to j Mr. Root read: ?4T qsta xfrMI* nKnr I A 'l?'T t J VU1 UU1 VX VVVUWVl I 21, in reply to mine of October 20, in I which I called attention to your mis- ! statement in your address in New York city wher you said, 'Mr. Cox declare * that he will insist upon treaty just as Mr. Wilson negotiated it: "I respectfully asked of you a retraction of your untrue statement, i You have apparently mistaken the purpose of my message which was to give you the opportunity to corerct a possible error or to admit the deliberateness of intent in its presentation. Permit me, therefore, to renew in terms that can not be misunderstood the request which can be answered with an unequivocal 'yes' J or 'no.' Did you or did you not make ; the statement as quoted and do you ! not know that it was false; and do |, you not recognize that in justice to ; i yourself and in justice to the Ameri- :an people who have honored you, j you should publicly acknowledge it? No Answer Given. i "In your reply to me you have entered upon a long dissertation upon the subject of Article 10 in which , r.gain by inference you are endeavor- J ing either deliberately or through ' misunderstanding or lack of informa-! < tion concerning my speeches to mis-!' L-epretcnt my position on the league i :>f nations. Accepting the fact that i eour misstatement was based upon |; tack of information I referred you to I the daily report of my speeches in j i the newspapers in which I have in- [ variably said that I favored the j i Hitchcock reservations and also that j [ would accept reservations from any ; source offered in sincerity and with a desire to help. Simply that you may be further informed, let me call j > your attention to the fourth of the j Hitchcock reservations in reference to Article 10: 'That the advice mentioned in Article 10 of the covenant of the league of nations which the council may give to the member nations as to employment of their naval and military forces is merely advice which ^ach member nation is iree to accept or reject according to the conscience and judgment of its then existing government and in the United States this advice can only be accepted by action of the congress at the time in being; congress alone under the constitution of the United States having the power to declare war.' Given New Opportunity. "Now Mr. Root, I have asked you a plain question. "We are both assumed to understand the meaning of words. The American neonle likewise understand j the meaning of words. You have j been given the opportunity to correct j yc - misstatement and this correction you have failed to make. "James M. Cox." New Jersey gave Governor Cox a warm welcome with surging, cheering audiences marking his single day's efforts. Accompanying the governor through the state was Governor Edwards and other prominent Jej^ey Democrats. Chairman White of the Democratic national committee, joined the candidate at Trenton. Governor Cox spoke at the first / . regiment armory tonight in which hundreds of an overflow crowd lack-j ed seats. Hundreds rose and cheered when the governor predicted that numerous Republican signers of a recent round robin would be left at home as a result of the election "over in Ohio." Another rising demonstration followed the governor's declaration of his policy towards proposed American intervention of Mexico when he said he would not "coin the blood of a single American soldier into gold for investors in Mexico." "There are too many people," he added, "who 'want American troops to draw their chestnuts out of the fire." New York, Oct. 22.?George White, chairman of the Democratic national committee issued a statmentj tonight appealing to "friends" of the league of Nations in the most solemn and reverential spirit to see that the text of the covenant becomes generally known during; the week beginning Sunday. Democratic candidates, the statement declared, "have done all in their power" to see that the voters of the United States acquaint themselves with the text and "the Republican party has done its best to pre- j vent this." In part, the statement j said: "The great issue before the American people is: Shall the United States join the league of, nations with such reservations as are deemed nec% essary to stress the league's sole purpose to insure peace and to emphasize the supremacy of the constitution?" Governor Cox and. the Democratic party are for going in on that basis. Senator Harding, if he stands for anything, committed his party at j Des Moines for total rejection on j the league, a league and any clarify-1 ing reservations or modifications. ??
