In a. speech prepared for deliv-

ery to an open meeting of the 13th Assembly of the Church's General Council. Dr. Slsco dis- cussed‘ Communism and Calpltal- ‘ism. He declared Communislns ma- deriafistic determination, its em- phasis upon one class-the pro- lctariat-and its redemption of man by mere historical processes are reasons for its rejection by Christianity.

"The Church must press on," he said, “by peaceful means to seek solutions of our social and economic ills in the light of the christian revelation."

Capitalism also has exploited _man and has an inherent tend- ency to exploit him.

"The degree of capitalistic ex- ploitation varies amolll countries," he said.

Dr. slsco said that “thee crisis of our age arises out of vast con- “centratlons of power."

He attended the recent World Council of Churches in 'Aliillll’- dam. and dealt with its findings on the subject of "God's desllh and man's disorder."
