=== YOUTH EDUCATION | ONLIQUOR URGED Southern Baptists Consider; Divorce, Labor Problems and Lynching. By the Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 18—*Re-| education” of young Baptists in the; South “es to the evil effects of intem- | perance” is one of the major objectives | of the churches composing the South- ! ern Baptist Convention | The ‘“re-education” program was voted unanimously by the convention | in assembly last night at the sug- gestion of a committee of the Georgia | delegation { Methods of “re-education” include the | Sunday sch: Baptist publications and special sessions of State and dis- | trict conventions to give the “funda-! mental facts as to the injury that comes from the use of strong drink and also & history of its deadly course.” H The convention entered the conclud- | ing session of its assembly today with the report of its social service board. The board described prohibition as the | paramount problem before the Nation, | deplored the “growing divorce evil” and | advocated a working dayv of not more | than nine hours, or a working week of | not more than 49!, hours, i In a report to the annual assembly | of the convention here. the board up- held the activity of churchmen in_be- half of prohibition, stating that “the fact that a moral guestion or matter may become civic does not lessen its moral quality nor diminish the right of free citizens freely to express selves on such questions or “The big battle in the whole field of | social service and civic affairs is still | being fought out on the prohibition sector,” the report said. “We cannot, we need not, go into details. Our ap-| peal is for action, for defense, for at-| tack. “Prohibition ought not to be a par!_\" fssue in the next presidential campaign. | If it shall become an fssue it will be be- | cause of short-sighted and party | leadership, and the party which espouses the interests and cause of liquor will be courting its own doom.” | “Divorce Laws Shameful.” | The report pointed to the “growing| divorce evil” and declared legislation | passed the past year making divorces | easy to obtain was “perhaps the most ! shamful and humiliating developme concerning divorce in the history of tI country.” On industrial relations. the report urged recognition of the right of labor | to organize and engage in collective | bargaining, a fair living wage and a/ day of not more than nine hours Mob violence was reported to have inereased from 10 chings in 1928 to 18 last year. “Lynchings must be pre- vented,” the report said, “and facts show that they can be prevented by the right kind of conviction.” In connection with conditions in gen- eral in the United States, the commit- tee reported that “the seriousness of the present situation is indicated in the fact that nullification of the Constitu- tion is being preached openly and frankly in some quarters.” A resolution calling upon the Soviet gov- ernment to “fully recognize and cheer- fully accord to all her citizensand subjects the indefeasable rights of conscience in all matters of religion,” was presented the Southern Baptist convention yester- State Baptist convention. It read in part “If it be said by the Soviet govern- ment that there is no God, our reply is that such declaration does violence to the self-consciousness of the human mind and heart which abundantly tes- tifies to the human spirit that there is a Supreme Being “All just human laws and government must be based on this elemental truth . . . human governments have no| rights whatever in the matter of con- science. No earthly government has any Tight to require its citizens or subjects | to be religious or to stop them from re- | ligious convictions and activities. Five new members of the Convention Executive Committee were named as follows: Perry Webb, Pine Bluff, Ark.; N. M. Simmcnds, Washington, D. C. H. M. King, Jackson, Miss.; J.

While recommending three ways of taking the profits out of war if it should occur, former Representative Richard Bartholdt of Missour at the same time told the War Policies Com- mission yesterday efterncon that the United States should set a peaceful example to the world by encouraging reduction of armaments. The commission, which was directed by Congress to find out how to equalize the burdens and minimize the profits of any future conflict, recessed until Monday morning. when the first witness will be Representative LaGuardia, Re- publican, of New York. Others to be heard Monday are Clyde B. Altchison and Dr. Robert Lovett. Bartholdt's formula for taking the profits out of war is to have all muni- tions manufactured by governments in- stead of private concerns, to prohibit the loaning of money to belligerents | and to fix the prices of all necessities | in time of war. The predominant theme of his testimony, however, was that the United States, because of its geographical loca- tion, is more secure from attack than other nations and could, therefore, set an example to the world in avoiding warlike preparations Questioned by Secretary of War Hurley, commission chairman, Mr Bartholdt said he had no fault to find with the present size of the American Army. He took the view that airplanes and submarines would be sufficient for this try to defend its shores.
