Financiers Urging That France Look After Portion Opinion Harden- ed in Great Bri- ttain Re War Debts

(Special to The Guardian) ‘LONDON, Dec. 16.—Recent dis- cussion of war debts has harden- ed the opinion in Great Britain that little progress toward industrial ex- pansion is possible until this coun- try reduces its enormous payments to America. such as Monday's de- posit of 891500.000. Chancellor of the Exchequer Churc- hill will be forced to make propos- als regarding the funding of French debts to Britain. Financlers are urg- ing‘ that France he asked to take over that portion of Great Britain's debt to America which is represent- ed by money borrowed in her be- half and to negotiate the settle- ment of this sum as well as the sum for which she is directly respon- sible to the United States.

Presbyterian Stand- point On Church Union

An audience that practically fili- cd Zion Church last night heard a luost interesting statement of the Church Union question from tllO Presbyterian standpoint,

The Rev. Orr liiulligun presided and the Rcv. G- C Taylor was thv first speaker. He dealt w-ith thc lgrerlt religious issues in the past which had resul-tedin the. creation of tho different religious lie-nomi- nations, showing strikingly how they had been by the Providence of God tho sources of great spiritual trims-lugs. Proceeding. ho dealt with the nlain- features of the prob- lcul involved in Church Uniou bv- foro the Canadian churches at the present time and advising theln to read very carefully the Act and what it implied.

The next speaker was the Rev. Robert Johnston of New Glasgow, N. S., Provisional Moderator of the

Synod, of the ltlaritimc Provinces, who. in a par- ticularly effective and tell- ing speech held the attention of

his audience for over an hour and a half and covered in a thorough way the issues involvled. Mir. Johnston dealt with the right to speak on this issue on two grounds. the recommendation of the Gleneral Assembly of his Church and by the Act of Parliament creating the new Church. l-lle dealt with the partic- ularly confusing condition of af- fnirs that hull resulted through this act and pointed out that, in- stead of Union division "had result- ed from end to end of Canada. Mr. Johnston corflinlly atlm-Yttod thje truth in solue of the principal rea- sons for Union; the economic ar- gument “'11s a vulid one, but. only within limits, and th-e carrying out of tho very principles involved in economic adm-nistration of the church's work the Unionists had violated their own. principles. for. to attain their own ends in organic- unlon, they were willing to create the old problem of over-lapping.

Continuing he dealt with the ful- filling of the prayers of our Lord for unity, tlhe promotion of foreign MlssionWork, the needs of Home Mission fields showing that organic union was not the best idenl.

Ho also dealt with the pledges made. by the church ilrregard to unanimity of the vote and broken by t-hlc church; and secondly the my tho trust funds are to be used for other purposes than those in- tended by the donors and he sev- ereiy arraigned the churches for doing what an art gallery in Mont- real would not do. and pursuing method-s to consummate Union which are illegal inl this case of bank merger-

The propaganda literature issued by tho Union Com- mittee came in for some hard criticism. The claim that there would be no difference was dealt whth by the speaker who showed that there was some very real dif- ferences indeed. Many of the leaders of Union had claimed that this great moiement was in ac- cnrdance with the will of God. For h-imself hie was dispooed to look for the fruits of such a flllirll but 11B had not found them in the methods that bad been used in seeking to achieve organic Unioni Mr. Johnston than told the in- oldent of a prominent Presbyterian Church leader having an interwlew with a number of friends. During vine interview he was asked wheth- er they would go on with Union if
