The ton-y adoption ot by resolutions announced a na. campaign for “speedy moderate regulatory measures.” > society announced the resolu- tions were unanimously adopted at & meeting of the board, attended by two-thirds ~of its membership. Thirty-six of the board members arc Lpiscopal clergymen, the society an nounced, and- three Episcopal lay- | men. Most of the clerical members live in Greater New York, some in t and New Jersey and one in Philadelphia.

At that time Bishop | Willlam T. Manning of the New | York dlocese, said the soclety was not offfefal and had no right to| speak for the Episcopal church. | Last night Bishop Manning declined 1o see newspapermen who called to et his comment on the resolutions. The resolutions charge the 1th | amendment has “blemished” the | constitution and its enforcement has | been “a failure, resulting in in- | creased drinking and drunkenncss &nd use of opiates, and fostering political corruption.” They state | that “it is inimical to the lite of | any nation to retain laws which are not and cannot be enforced,” and that “promotion of true tem- perance is an educational rather than a legislative problem, within the proper functions and duties of | the church.” Prohibitton Unwise “Prohibition,” the resolutions say the society is convineed, * and is harmful to the indi the government, has not proved a | help but a hindrance in the pro: motion of temperance is out of | barmony with the Bible, contrary to the teachings and traditions of the church, hostile to the spirit of the American people, foreign to constitution of the United States, in conflict with our bill of rights, | and its enforcement a matter of subduing the people, by means of | the club, into obedience of phis law.” The board resolves that the so- cicty make a nation-wide appeai to ! the clergy and the laity of the| Episcopal church and to the Amer- | ican people in general “to give it &id in the promotion of true tem- perance, through sermons, lectures and literature” and that a special appeal be‘made by the socicty to lawmakers, state and national, to citizens and to organizations op- posed to “the intrenched and stu- pendous liquor traffic” to “exert their influence in behalf of the speedy adoption of moderate regu- latory measures to replace the fm- practicable and harmful laws now in force.” The Rev. Dr. W. W. Bellinger, wvicar of St. Agnes' chapel, Trinity parish, -New York, is president of | the society, the Rev. Dr. John W. Gill, rector of St. Andrew's church, Brooklyn, vice president; Dr. Wil- llam Jay Schieffelin, chairman of the Citizens' Union, New York, treasurer, and A. H. Dawson, secre- tary.

Russian Action London, May 25 UP—All the Lon- don newspapers, with the exception of the Labor-Socialist Herald, agree that the government’s case against Soviet Russia, prompting the deci- sion to break off relations, is in- contestably sound. The liberal pa- pers, however, either question or condemn a rupture of diplomatic re- lations. ~ Declaring that the Rusgian gov- ernment “shamelessly ab¥sed” its position under the trade agreement, and repeatedly broke its pledges, the liberal Daily News contends it is impossible permanently to ignore the great European nation, With its 160,000,000 people. It argued that Russian propaganda is noticeably losing its effectiveness, and that the western governments should follow a policy of firmness and patience. It believes Premier Baldwin's revela- tions will affect the Russian govern- ment more than a severance of dip- lomatic relations. The Westminster Gazette, liberal, thinks the diplomatic effect of the government’s action will be exactly opposite to what it Intends, and will be welcomed by Russian extremists as good propaganda for the red army. The liberal Chronicle, agreelng that Soviet Russia has persistently abrogation of the trade agrecment,| thinks it is a matter for serious ‘wil)l which it is charged. anxiety that diplomatic relations arc} severed against such warnings as those of Sir Austen. ‘While maintaining that the “Rus- sians got what they deserved,” the independent Daily Express questions whether anything effective can be achieved by giving what they de- serve. The papers supporting the gov- ernment express strong approval of the decision. The: Times declares no government could have done less in the circumstances. The Telegraph says it was time to make an end; that the government would only have invited further af- fronts if it continued a wordy argu- ment with a people whose habit of forswearing themselves “has becn | raised to a principle. In the course of a whole-hearted endorsement of the government, The Post charges the British par- liamentary opposition with being deeply involved in Premier Bald- win's disclosures. The Daily Mail says it is grati- fled the government has taken step the paper has long advocat- {ed against the “malignant, persist- ent hostility of the Soviet govern- ment."” The Daily Herald charg the ministers with throwing grit into the machine of Anglo-Russlan relations. | It declares the government has in defensibly broken the trade agree- ment by not giving Soviet Russia an opportunity of explaining the acts It adas ‘that Mr. Baldwin has giveg a blow to British trade which will increasc unemployment and threaten the peace of the world.
