Resolutions were passed by the so- ciety yesterday afternoon to oppose the repeal of the national origin’s act. It also was further resolved to petition Congress to enact further immigration Testriction in order to control the flood of aliens now entering the country from Mexico, the West Indies and countrics to the south. A resolution was passed by the society to petition Congress to enact a law making the “Star Spangled Banner” the national ‘anthem of the United States. No law to that effect has as yet been passed, although Congress already has been petitioned six times. Announcement of gifts to furnish the new home at 1461 Rhode Island avenue from the District of Columbia Society | was made and a_tribute was paid by | Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, chapter regent, to Mrs. Sol Lansburgh, house chairman of the new home, for the work she has done toward the furnishing of the house. A reception preceded a dinner at the Willard last night. Mrs. Samuel Z. Shope, national president, and national officers were in the receiving line. Ap- proximately 300 persons attended and guests included Secretary of Labor Davis, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart, president general of the D. A. R. and Canon Peters of Washington Cathedral, who pronounced invocation before the dinner. Davis and Reed Speak. Secretary Davis and Senator Reed were the speakers of the evening, pay- | ing warm tribute to the Daughters of 1812 for their patriotic services to the country, in particular the work for na- tional defense. While disclaiming belief that the | United States stood in any immediate | danger of war, the Secretary of Labor stated: “Our real danger is that we may be lulled to sleep by a false sense of security, That ‘Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty’, is as true today as when Jefferson spoke those words.” “You ladies,” he concluded, “of this society, are entitled to the thanks of all good citizens for the stand you have taken on preparedness and the help Yyou are given the country to rededica- tion of service.” Senator Reed also congratulated the | Daughters of 1812 upon the work of their society, and stressed the import- | ance of preparedness in peace. “Sane | ;hmk\ng . ;lhe ;:hject of preparedness | or war, is the best preventive,” the Senator, % rena el Referring to the immigration situa- tion in the United States, Senator Reed strongly urged the Daughters of 1812, to continue in their endeavors toward | the support of the national origins act, as well as the passage of further im- migration restriction, “It is no good to resist the enemy in war if we surrender to him in peace,” he said, “we must keep the racial com- position of our Nation as it, stands to- day.

ISR o O o Tesenrom 1o Slerr o, C Vigorous Stands Are Taken on Opposite Sides in Scientific Monthly. - Both Have Created Storms by Views on Question. Stand by Guns. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Dr. Austin H. Clark of the Smithso- nian Institution, and Dr. Harry Elmer Barnes of Smith College will cross swords in the May issue of thre Scientific Monthly on the issue of science and re- ligion. Both men have come into national prominence during the past few months by their vigorous stands on opposite sides ot this question. Barnes, a sociolo- gist, threw a bombshell into the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in New York in January by insisting that it is essential for man’s advancement that he throw overboard present conceptions of the Deity and rebuild his religion alto- gether on a scientific basis. This drew on his head a storm of criticism not only from prominent clergymen all over the country, but from Henry Fairchild Osborne, noted evolutionist and presi- dent of the society. A few weeks later Clark, a noted bi- ologist of wide reputation, announced a new theory of evolution, based largely on evidence from obscurer forms of life, which construgtively denied the descent of man from an ape-like ancestor, and which was hailed by fundamentalist re- ligious leaders as a long step toward | reconciling the findings of science and scriptural revelations. This also drew a storm of criticism, this time from the scientists, which came to a head at a meeting of the Washington Academy of Scicnces a few days ago. Each Gathers Evidence. Bothi men have stood by their guns under fire, and have garnered new evi- dence to support their contradictory po- sitions. Clark, in the forthcoming article, repeats his objections to the theory of an ape-like human ancestor. “We in the United States,” he says, ‘now are embarked definitely on what in the years to come will be regarded as a type of culture new in the history of man, a culture chiefly characterized by the increasingly broad application of the correlated facts of science to our daily lives, Many regard this type of culture as wholly materialistic in its nature and as a growing menace to the non-mate- rial side of human life. They argue that by affording in rapidly increasing meas- ure opportunities for recreation and for diversion it is correspondingly inimical to the more serious cultural and spirit- ual phases of human understanding. Human Nature Unchanged. “But we are prone to judge conditions by the most obvious phenomena con nected with them, which intrude them- selves on our attention. We are all too likely to forget that these are only superficial, transient and to us un- welcome attributes of a socoal read- justment. J “History shows us that after all hu- man nature has thrcugh the ages re- mained fundamentally unchanged. Out- ward appearances have undergone marked variations from one epoch te gnother, but as a rule these have af- fected only a small proportion of the people, or else have been wholly super- ficial. Since the basis of the new condi- tions is the ever increasing application of the facts of sclence to our material welfare, it is fitting that we should survey the present situation and from | this survey ascertain so far as possible both what the present situation is and what the future has to offer. “There Can Be No Conflict.” “One’ hears it commonly remarked | that a firm belief inscience eventually will supplant religion, or at least so modity it that it will be a wholly dif- ferent thing from the religion that our fathers knew. One also hears it said that science and an increase in scientific knowledge eventually will be blocked by the growing opposition of religion. “Neither hypothesis is tenable. There can be no_conflict between science and religion. For truth is truth quite re- gardless of the manner in which it may have been attained, whether through the paths of science or through religious teachings. “Through religion all of the very nu- merous factors, material and non-ma- terial, which in any way bear upon human existence, ,both individual and social, are co-ordinated. Religion con- templates order in all things, whether touching human affairs or not. But when subjected to analysis, everything is found to have a bearing more or less direct upon human activities and human welfare. Through scientidc investigation we are striving to discover and to correlate the facts which will enable us to under- stand the ultimate order upon which universe, in the broadest application of that term is based, and in addition we are endeavoring to find the means of applying such elements of this order as we are able to determine to hunan activities with a view to the betterment of human welfare. “Science Builds Up Structure.” “Science, therefore, is engaged in building up a structure which should serve to strengthen the foundations of religion, not to weaken them. “Approaching the same end by dif- ferent paths, the one material and the other spiritual, there would seem to be no reason why science and religion should not go hand in hand, and, work- ing together, hasten the mutual progress toward the common end. “But, like all things human, science on occasion becomes directed into paths that seem to run counter to religion. Perhaps the best example of such a manifestation at the present time s af- forded by the concept which is known as_evolution.” Barnes, on the other hand, declares -day religion consists of | that present: gxi'ix‘nlt}z; and supe;mtluus ideas in con- Wwith a very advanced scient mechanical civilization. e “The scientist is bound to come into contact and conflict with orthodox re- ligion,” he says. “It is continually hampering his activities, Even today he has to devote part of his attention to protecting himself against anti- evolution laws and blasphy : The orthodox e o8 the congeptions of the uni verse and man.¢lash at every point with the.scientific.

HARRY ELMER BARNES. religious view of the universs is one in which the earth is regarded as the largest and most important entity in the cosmos and the sole center of di- vine interest. Man is portrayed as primarily a theological exhibit who should be chiefly concerned with sav- ing his immortal soul and securing an eternal life in the world beyond. So- ciety is looked upon as the environ- mental equipment essential to test man's fitness for salvation. The good life is not that which will make man most happy -here on earth, but that form of conduct which will make eter- nal salvation absolutely certain. “Scientific Conception Is Opposite.” “The scientific and esthetic concep- tion is the direct opposite of aL this. In the place of a very brief period of some 6,000 years for the age of the earth and all living matter, we must reckon with a time conception which de- fles both the human imagination and our conventional standards of measure- ment. Hundreds of millions of years must be assigned to the earth in a minimum estimate. Indeed, we may have to admit that in the new cosmic, time perspective, the very notion of time as we understand it may be noth- ing more than a convenient human il- lusion. The age of man in this new time perspective, instead of 'being co- existent with the duration of the earth and all heavenly bodies, must be re- garded as but the briefest trifie in earth history, tc say nothing of its ut- ter insignificance in terms of cosmic history. “The implications of modern astro- physics are absolutely destrucive of the orthodox version of the Christian epic, as well as of orthodox Judaism or any other type of geocentrically circum- scribed religion. The old idea of God as a venerable and somewhat gigantic being, resembling man in every detail, frequently taking up his abode on this earth and being at times accessible to call from his more faithful E\IDPOrL-I ers, becomes immediately recognizable | as primitive, anthropomorphic and geo- | centric misapprehension. Motive of Criticism Is Given. “An even stronger motive for scien- tific criticism of orthodox religion may arise from the apprehension of the ing are being increased and perpetuated by orthodox religion and from the b lief of the sclentist that he can de- crease this suffering and increase human well being. The sclentist looks | upon the great volume of fears and superstitions which obviously have not the slightest scientific validity but con- tinue to influence countless millions. He notes the expense connected with the great organizations devoted to exploit- ing these superstitions and imaginary fears. He considers the unhappy and unhealthy mental states that afflict millions in America today because of false theories of life inculcated in earlier ages when man was solely con- cerned with salvation. He surveys the suffering due to the widespread con- traction of nervous and mental diseases which are the product of this same, unscientific conception of desirable human behavior. He discovers families in dire poverty, and the world approach- ing the saturation point in population growth which may well turn humanity back into bararism, all on account of an archaic religious prejudice against birth control and population limitation.” Barnes concludes that every possible function of the church, whh one ex- ception, is detrimental in modern life. ‘The single possibly justified function, he says, is “providing for the :nass organization of the group sentiment of mankind in support of the larger principles of kindliness, sympathy, right, justice, honesty and decency.

Bills and resolutions for investigations are in some of the senatorial desks, but they have bcen withheld pending de- velopments. Wall Street Under Senate Fire. Unlike the House debaters on this subject, who want to investigate the reserve board’s warnings against in- creased brokers’ loans, the Senate has some members, who want to investigate Wall Street, In the Senate the only ex- pressed complaint, so far, against the reserve board Is that it didn't issue its warning sooner. Senator King, Democrat of Utah, who has prepared a resolution to investigate the credit situation. is withholding this move to see how things develop. He is one of those who belleve excessive cred- its have been made available to specu- lators and that the Federal Reserve Board should have acted sooner.

House Sticks to Farm and Tariff. President Hoover included the pro- posals for suspension of the national origins provision on his restricted pro- gram for the session, but even with this support the way for such action appears cloudy. Many Republicans, including Senator Reed, are fighting repeal and the Democrats also are divided on the question. With the House showing no intention of relenting from its plan to organize only the few committees necessary to initiate the farm relief and tariff leg- islation, Senate leaders have not called any committee meetings there for con- sideration of the numerous prcposi- tions introduced., LAKEHURST, N.

AIR BOMBING BAN BEATEN IN GENEVA [ Nations Reject German Pro- posal, but Say Civilians Must Be Protected. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, April 24 —Germany's pro- posal for prohibition of aircrafi bomb- ing in war time was rejected today by the preparatory commission on dis- armament of the League of Nations. Out of 25 national delegations at the conference only five countries supported the project. However, in refusing to insert the bomb-prohibition clause in the draft treaty which the commission is formu- lating, the delegations voting against the proposal accepted a subsequent res- olution offered by Nicolas Politis of Greece, affiming that they had no in- tention of authorizing the dropping of bombs on civilian populations. Great Slaughter Forescen. his proposal said that in a few hours bombing airplanes flying over Paris, Berlin and London could take a toll of half a million victims. The Germans insisted that if this method of warfare was permitted war would become not oply hoirible, but more cowardly. “The combatants themselves, pro- tected by defensive appliances, would be in the safest position, while the real victins would be old people, women and children, Yho hitherio have been pro- possible means which civilization affords,” he said. Francois Sokal of Poland said that no one would deny the horrors of such warfare as Count von Bernstorfl had describzd, but said the conference had not reached that point and under the Kellogg pact was not likely to reach it. When war had been outlawed, he said, it was illogfcal under those® circum- stances to begin'codifying rules of war. Soviet Position Stated. Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet spokesman, immediately jumped to his feet and as- serted that Poland had been among those who had rejected the Soviet pro- of armaments. They retained their armaments of warfare, he said, and it therefore was possible for war to de- velop and hence necessary to limit the forms of warfare. He added the Soviet delegation was prepared to support the German proposal. Count Massigli, speaking for France, opposed the German amendment, re- calling the shelling of Paris by the “big bertha” of the German army 11 years ago. He sald he regretted the neces- sity of remarking that the real issue proposed was abolition of the conse- querices for certain countries of particu- lar clauses established by treaties, which was not the task of the commission.

President Hoover has taken under ad- visement an invitation to participate in the seventy-first annual session of the American Dental Assocfation to be held in this city Octcber 7-11. The invita- tion was extended by a committee headed by Percy R. Howe of Boston, president of the association. The dele- gation was introduced to the President by Representative Tilson of Connecticut. Others in the delegation were H. B, Pinney of Chicago, secretary; C. Willard Camalier, chairman of the local ar- rangements commitice; W. M. Simkin, Charles D. Cole and Thomas J.
