CHURCHES COMBINE
APPEAL TO HELP BRITAIN
NEW YORK, December 28,
The Interfaith Committee for the Aid of the Democracies, which is a new organisation of Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant clergy and laymen, issued a declaration urging that war supplies should be freely given or lent to Britain. It urged President Roosevelt to call a conference of the democracies, including the invaded countries, in order to "counsel together for the defence of liberties and set forth in a common purpose to achieve a world in which free men can live." The chairman is Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, president of the Union Theological Seminary, and the secretary is Dr. Henry Atkinson, of the Church Peace Union. Those who signed the declaration include Catholic and Protestant bishops, rabbis, and a Jesuit.
