CHICAGO, March 8.—A committee ©f the Presbyterian General Assembly, after spending three months in the study of divorce and kindred subjects, has decided it would be “imprudent” for ministers to adhere to strict main- tenance of the church code on divorce and remarriage. The report which the committee, composed of six ministers and five elders, will submit to the next General Assembly was completed yesterday. Immediately afterward one of the com- mittee members predicted that the liberalization recommendation would resuit in “a spirited controversy among the ocongregation.” One brief paragraph disclosed the committee’s views on liberal the Northern branch of the church; it read: “We recommend that since the New t ordains at least the two recognized in ndardize the ministry in the church upon the church law, for each case must be studied upon its own merits.” ‘The committee was unanimous in the belief that the Federal Government should adopt a uniform code on mar- riage and divorce.

Determined to the last, the Reichs- bank president fired his final high ex- plosive shell at the Young plan and its related financial agreements when he announced his resignation yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the central committee of the bank. Prance's success in forcing sanctio; into the Young plan was the chief re son for his resignation, Dr. Schacl Objects to Hague Protecel. “What is the decisive motive for your resignation?” I asked. “Is it the Young plan?” “No,” Dr. Schacht retorted. “The Young plan is a very good document.| What T will not accept are the decis now embodied in the Hague protoco) “Is_the one so different from the other?” I asked. Dr. Schacht stopped wmi the floor. “You fellows don't really know your business,” he answered, “but it {5 a very big document.
