Big Scheme To Unite Anglican and Free Churches
A
By HUGH REDWOOD
SCHEME for merging the Anglican and Free Churches in a United Church of "England has been drawn up by a joint conference sifting at Lambeth Palace under the chairmanship of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The proposed Church would be episcopal, i:c., there would be Free Church as well as Anglican bishops, and the Archbishop of Canterbury would be at it's head, as the President, ex officio, of its General Assembly.
It would accept creeds and sacraments, and baptism would be an essential condition of membership. In the matter of forms of worship, however, there would con- tinue to be variety.
A BASIS FOR DISCUSSION
The scheme, as it stands, is full but not final. That it will be
carried into effect in its present form is not anticipated by those who drafted it. But it is a basis for discussion, and is regarded as defining the kind of Church in which those Churches repre- sented in the conference could unite without loss of what is specially valuable in their distinctive traditions. `
The Convocations of Canterbury and York on the one hand and the Federal Council of the Free Churches on the other have had the plan under consideration this week and have now referred it to the Churches,
NO EARLY DECISION LIKELY
In the case of the Free Churches this means examination by the various denominations, which will presumably appoint special committees for the purpose. No early decision can therefore be looked for.
The Federal Council, which devoted a morning and afternoon to the proposals yesterday, has refrained from expressing any opinion upon them, but has held them to be "deserving of special consideration."
This attitude reflects the caution with which, as already is evident, they will be approached by Free Churchmen. It is significant that the Council passed a second resolution embodying the view that the immediate responsibility of the Free Churches is to achieve completer intercourse and fuller co- operation among themselves.
Crystal Palace Of The Future
CRYSTAL PALACE trustees recently held their longest meeting for ten years, but the future of the Palace is still as uncertain as it was on the day after the fire over
a year ago.
The annual meeting, very brief, was in public; then the trustees sat in private for two hours.
Sir George Truscott referred at the annual meeting to nego- tiations which are proceeding to finance the new Crystal Palace.
It was a big proposition, he said, and because of that it was quite impossible to make public all the negotiations that had taken place since the fire, and were still taking place.

Alarmed and angry, he has requested the "March of Intercession from St. John's

The producer, Mr. Louis de Rochemont, replied to-day: "These are the first uncensored pictures to come from Germany since Hitler assumed power. Having escaped the Nazi censorship in Germany, we are not going to submit to Mazi censorship in tlus country."!
FOOD ECONOMIES
The "March of Time" let me see the_film_to-day, I have never seen such a bitter denunciation of the regimentation of German life, says a correspondent.
They intend to show it in Britain and in France.
It includes "shots" of the Krupp Brms factory, of military rouds, shows a lecturer pointing to a map of the Ukraine as the "Promised Land" and picks out yellow seats in a park labelled: "For Jews."
A terso commentary, explaining how the arms factories are fed by the German people's self-denial, is accompanied by pictures of the food economies which the people have to practise.

Equally significant arc showing German attempts to spread propaganda in America under the Icndership of Fritz Kuhn, known
here as "the American Fuehrer."
Kuhn, who has also seen the film, said afterwards: "If Hitler sees this I'm ruined!"
CHILDREN DRILLING The Alm also shows German chil- dren drilling with the remark: "The child ceases to be an individual and Is taught that he lives for the Fatherland."
Boys of 14 are seen marching in uniform in the first rank of the Ger-
man war machine.

There is also an Empire flight story, "King's Messenger," by R. C. Sherrill. A Russian ballet story will be in colour.
All Mr. Korda's pictures will be on a scale competing with Hollywood in the world market.
