After the lapse of three years the Free Churches in Britain have decided against the out- line of a scheme for reunion with the Church of England ptit forward by tlic Lnmlicth joint Conference. From thc rcply to Lzinihctli, it wits evident that episcopacy was still n. serious st1i1iili- ling block, and that even should an episcopate be agreed to as one organ of a tiiiitctl Church, tlic

Two innovations in harvest festivals were noted in England this year. At Kingston, Surrey. the service ivas held in the saloon lounge of the British Oillt’ public house instead of a church. 1t was arranged by the landlord, and conducted by the Vicar of Kingston. The congregation gathered and sang hymns round a. billard table covered with vegetables, fruit, and flowers. most of them grown in customers‘ allotments and gar- dciis, and a gift of oranges 11nd lciiions.

In these titres of the breaking of the nations, lizere is eomethln encouragement 1n the signs are everywhere 1n evidence in the democratic countries of a. deter- mination on the part. of all sorts and conditions of mm to insist upon a workable system of peace for the post-war world. It Ls not

If the social 111-4 religious organizations which sue now so deeply concerned to save the world from war rad shown one- tienth of the interest. which they now display, in protecting and de- veloping the agencies for peace which were set up after the last war, this war might have been ore- ventied. Fitrther. none of the pro- jects upon whfch so much titougnt and industry are now being ex- pended are worth more than biimk _paper if the Nazis and their allies rue not. overthrown. The individuals the organizations and tfne nations that look forward longfngly to a world of continuing peace are deep in the wilderness trying to reziun the highway to world peace upon which they would not travel when it. lay lnvltlngly before them. - Among the bodies thus deeply interested are the organized churches of the United States which have set up 11 commission to discover the bases for a just. and durable peace. The scope of their inquiry and the objectwes which they seek are set out in on article appearing elsewhere on this page. The objectives cover everything that ivas sought in the Covenant of the League and the Pact of Paris; they definitely provide for a new world order involving the abridgment of national sovereignty Ind the nnnclatlon of force as on nutrit- ment of international policy. The objectives do not expresly include a declaration in favor of collective action where necessary for the defence of the principles avowed: but surely this is implicit 1n the declaration of tire aims to be sought. The record of the churches of the United States ln support of the principles of a peace established by mutual agreement and defended if necessary by force is pretty much of a. blank: even where the objec-

The Road To Russian ‘ Oil

(Exchange)

The Crimea hangs from the rest of Russia. like a sun-ripened nlum. It; was along this fabled shoreline that the Argonauts of old fared to the Caucasus in their quest of tzie Golden Fleece. The Germans woul- are also pounding down the coals‘. of the Crimea on the same quesz, the golden riches of the Russian oi! f ids. When they overrun zhe whole peninsula, as it seems they must, they will be roughly halfway around the Black Sea.

It has cost. them somcilsLrig more than four months of hard lighting and hen losses to get there. How long it w ll take them to cover the remaining distance depends, of course, primarily on the resistance the Russians can still offer. Envis- aglng the situation from this (lis- tanoe, e contemporary points to the Soviets in the Crimea. ltacif :11 apparently badly demoralized. Se- vastopol cannot resist modern wea- pons as it did the cannon of the Allies in 1855. It has lost lts im- portance as a stronghold, and the Russian fleet has probably fled al- ready to Novoi-ossilsk. Ketch, penn- ed up on the eastern end of the peninsula, cannot hold out. The Strait of Kercli, separating it. from the mainland. Ls only four miles wide and constitutes no formidable

tlve of continuing world peace was favored there was no readiness to face the problem of how to make such a peace effective. There was a wholly unrealistic dependence upon the moral force of unexoebtlonablc sentiments. In destroyln-i- the 1,95- gue and ti-e Pact of PBTlS, the idea.- llstlc paclflsm of the churches was a factor upon which the worship- pers of Mars counted with a con - dence that: was only too complete-

stifled. There thus appears to have been H. profound change tn the thinking and the attitude of the (Iiurclies of America. If they co-operate to the extent indicated l.n the article, which we quobe in support of the objectives which are listed, they will be powerful agencies both in seeing that the peace-when and if made-ls just, and that due provis-

There ls some oil at Maikop, 100 miles beyond. but. not enough. Thence southward to Botum the march is along e narrow strip of coast flanked by ranges from 6,001 to 12,000 feet high. Anv route through them or around them is difficult and dangerous. But. w mach the oil fields of Baku on the Caspian the Germans must cross an even rouwher tangle of moun- talus. ‘Ireic, it would seem, they must also meet the British under General 5h- Archlbaid Wiivell. De- stroying the oil wells before the Gennans get there would not be easy. Each one of thousands must
