YOUTH TACKLES THE WORLD CRISIS
“A challenge to our Christian ideals which we can neither ignore nor evade”—that’s what the present economic depression is. Its tragic and demoralising effects are a reproach. What appear on the surface as economic and political problems are at bottom spiritual problems. So says a resolution passed by the World’s Alliance of Young Men’s Christian Associations, which met at Cleveland, August 4 to 9. “Nothing less than a fundamental change in the spirit of our economic life” will meet the case, the resolution asserts, “and this change can be effected only by accepting- as the basis of industrial relations the principle of co-operation in service for the common good in place of unrestricted competition for private advantage.”
