Church Council
is for Limiting
Size of Family
Representatives of Many Religions
.Bodies for Birth Control
Legal Bans Opposed
New York The "careful and re
strained" use of measures to regulate
the size of families was endorsed by
an organization of representatives of
twenty-seven American Protestant
churches having a total membership
of approximately 23.000,000. The
endorsement was given in a majority
report on birth control submitted by
the committee on marriage and the
home of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America. It
was issued with the approval of the
council's administrative committee.
The committee agreed that, be
cause of economic considerations and.
in many cases, the welfare of the
mother, "there can be no question
as to the necessity for some sort of
effective control of the size of the
family and the spacing of children."
Legal Bans Opposed.
The committee agreed that, what
ever the final decision of the church
may be, "the church should not seek
to impose its point of view as to the
use of contraceptives upon the pub
lic by legislation or any either form
of coercion, and especially should not
seek to prohibit physicians from im
parting such information to those
who in the judgment of the medical
profession are entitled to receive it."
A minority refused to sanction the
use of contraceptive measu-es and
called upon the church, "when con
trol of conception is necessary, to
uphold the standard of abstinence as
the idea!."
The committee consists of twenty
eight members, among whom are sev
eral distinguished clergymen and a
number of influential laymen, includ
ing George W. Wickersham and Mrs.
John D. Rockefeller, jr.. twenty-two
signed the majority report, three
signed the minority report and thre?
expressed no judgment either way.
Chairman With Minority.
The crmmittee's chairman, the
Rev. Mr. Howard Chandler Robbins.
professor at General Theological
seminary and for many years dean
of the cathedral of St. John the Di
vine, signed the minority report, to
gether with Mrs. Rohert E. Speer.
president of the national hoard of
the Young Women's Christian asso
ciation, and Mrs. Orin R. Judd, presi
dent of the Council of Women for
Home Missions.
The three who signed neither re
port were: Dr. Ben R. Lacy, presi
dent of Union Theological seminary.
Richmond. Ya. : Mrs. W. A. Newell
of Greensboro, N. C chairman of
the bureau of social service of the
Women's Ifisstonal Council of the
Methodist Episcopal church. South:
and Bishop Charles K. Hilbcrt, suf
fragan bishop of New York.
The majority report opens with
the statement "the majority of the
committee holds that the careful and
restrained use of controceptives by
married people is valid and moral."
Bishop Depresses View.
"They take this position," the ma
jority repert continues, "because they
believe that it is important to pro
vide for the proper spacing of chil
dren, the control of the size of the
family, and the protection of moth
ers and children, and because inter
course between mates, when an ex
pression of their spiritual union and
affection, is ri.ht in itself."
The prcmouncement on birth con
trol was deprecated in a statement
Dy the Right Kev. John J. Dunn, vi
car general, bishop auxiliary of New
Fork.
"The essential difference between
the Catholic teaching . . . and that
contained in the statement of tho
federal council," he said, "is that
according to the former, controcep
tion is intrinsicallv wrong, wrong
in itself, and therefore, can be justi
fied by no set of circumstances what
ever." Lutheran Gives Answer.
Declaring that "no Lutheran ap
pears among the signers of the state
ment nor among the members of the
committee on marriage and the
home," the national Lutheran coun
cil made public a comment on the
report by the Rev. F. H. Knubel,
president of the United States Luth
eran Church of America.
"It is of prime significance," Dr.
Knubel said, "that the present agi
tation for birth control occurs at a
period which is notorious for loose
ness in sexual morality. This fact
creates suspicion as to the motives
for the agitation and should warn
true minded men and women against
the surrender of themselves as tools
for unholy purposes." State Jour

BALDWIN SCORES VICTORY
London A. Duff Copeor. Lady Di
ana Manners' husband. Won a by
election in the St. George's division
of Mayfair. polling 17,242 votes
against 11,532 for Eir Ernest Pet
ter, running as an independent con
servative. It was a victory for Stan
ley Baldwin, whose leadership of the
conservative party had been chal
lenged by the Beaverbrook and Roth
ermere Press, supporting Sir Ernest.
The eiection had focussed the atten
tion of the whole nation and not the
least interesting of its features was
the fact that the servant vote was
regarded as likely to determine the
result, since in Mayfair the servants
outnumber the masters by a consider
able margin.

EDUCATORS FEELING PINCH
Chicago Rapidly increasing en
rollments along with practically sta
tionary budgets have created an "em
barrassing situation" for educators.
Merle Prunty, president of the North
Central Association of Cedlege and
Secondary Schools, said in his annual
address. The result, he added, is a
nonular demand for reduction of
teachers' salaries. Such action, he
said, should lie taken only as a last
resort and flnaiu ial deficiencies
should be made up either by increas
ed incomes or reductions in other
school operating expenses.
Enrollments in secondary schools
in the north central territory. Prun
ty said, have doubled in the last six
years, while enrollments at colleges
and universities have practically
doubled in ten years. Meanwhile,
however, no provision has been made
for increasing budgets with the re
sult that a financial crisis faces edu
cation. FOR SALE

MORE ROAD FOR LESS MONEY
The organized farmers of the I'm'
ted States have, for several years,
been making a drive to obtain oo
roads for themselves. They have
pointed out that at present less Ih
five per cent of farmers have access
to roads that can be relied upon at
all times of the year and under all
conditions.
On the other hand, public expendi
tures have been increasing alarming
ly, and businesses and citizens, in
cluding farmers, are seeking ways to
curtail governmental expt use.
Under modern conditions, two traf
fic lanes are necessary. The problem
is. then, how to get more read for
less monev. This, according to Ber
nard E. Gray of the Asphalt Insti
tute, can be achieved by the use of
low cost local materials top-soil,
sand-clay, shale, cinders, crushed
stone, and so on. It is true that ex
periments in the past with these ma
terials have not been wholly success
ful. But in recent years engineers
have developed bituminous treat
ments for such surfaces that prevent
dust and mud. reduce wear to the
minimum and Kive smooth, non-skid ;
roadways.
Every community which seeks good
roads and that, it is safe to say. in
cludes a majority of American com
munities should investigate the pos
sibilities of scientifically treated,
low-cost road materials. Only by us
ing them can full-width, weather
proof, f irm-to-market roads be built
without inflating the tax rate.
