Fifty-one countries will be represented at the conference of the Protestant International Missionary Council which will open its sessions here tomorrow. Two hundred and fourteen delegates have arrived.
Dr. John R. Mott of New York, national secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who will preside over the sessions, in an interview with representatives of the Palestinian press, both Hebrew and Arabic, declared that “the attitude of the International Missionary Council toward non-Christian religions is constructive and not militant. Catholics were not invited to participate in the conference in view of the recent Papal Encyclical forbidding Catholics to participate in non-Catholic conference.”
Mr. Grimshaw of the International Labor Office at Geneva will attend the conference.
