COMPROMISE ON PROBLEM 6IVEN CHURCH PARLEY M. E. Committee Fails to Make Attack on Profit Motive. By United Prexx COLUMBUS, 0.. May 14.—The attack on the profit motive in American business, a cause of church dissention for four years, was absent today from the recommendation for a pronouncement on social and economic motives before the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Sidestepping liberal demands for a definite recommendation for change but debouncing "grasping interests” I and "privation in the midst of plenty,” the State of the Church Committee offered a middle-of-the-road resolution which may allay the anticipated liberal-conservative battle on the conference floor. A subcommittee which drafted the recommendation had received resolutions demanding expansion of liberal principles and retraction of the 1932 statemeni branding the industrial order "unchristian, un. ethical and anti-social because it is largely based on the profit motive, which is a direct appeal to selfishnes.” Designed to Foster Unity Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, subcommittee chairman, said the resolution was designed to foster church unity. “It is better to have a united church studying social issues scientifically, in Christian spirit, than a divided church fighting over it,” Dr. Oxnam, president of De Pauw University, said. The recommendation probably will reach the conference floor tomorrow. One of three white bishops remained unchosen today after Dr. Edwin F. Lee, missionary bishop for Eastern Asia, failed by 20 votes on the seventh ballot to receive the 378 necessary for election. Dr. Harry W. McPherson, president of Illinois Wesleyan University, was second with 173 votes. The unofficial Methodist Federation for Social Service, target of “Communist” barbs from conservative ministers and laymen, escaped censure in the state of the church committee report. Its proposed solution for economic inequalities of substituting a planned social economy for profit-motive economics was described without comment. “While we do not pass judgment upon the technique of attainment, we Bp Methodists do declare ourselves in favor of a personality-mak-ing economy . . , wherein the fundamental objective is fullness of life for all,” the resolution said.

ROPER TO QUIT CABINET POST, CAPITAL HEARS Commerce Secretary Planning to Leave in January, Is Report. By United Prext WASHINGTON. May 14 Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper, whose administration has been marked by continued turmoil, in planning to leave the Cabinet next January, it was reported today. Commerce Department circles were buzzing with the report, and important Democratic politicians understood the switch would take place after the elections. The report was not confirmed officially. Mr. Roper, who is 69. might either retire or return to the firm of tax lawyers which he headed here from 1921 to 1932. His retirement probably would lead to a shakeup of the Commerce Department. He is known ns protege of Senator William G. McAdoo. under whom he served as Internal Revenue Commissioner when Mr. McAdoo was Secretary of the Treasury. His friendship with President Roosevelt dates from the Wilson administration. His administration troubles have been many, most of them marked by efforts on his part to avoid them by a placating attitude. Roper himself has remained outwardly unruffled, insisting in press conferences and elsewhere that, there was no conflict within the New Deal, and frequently changing the subject to his favorite topic, Christian philosophy.
