...East Conference voted a resolution which hesitantly questioned whether Capitalism should be replaced "with something more in conformity with our religion'' (TIME, May 29, 1933).

Consequently the uncritical tourist comes out of Palestine with his mind cluttered with pious superstition." Furthermore: "To have Christianity presented to these tens of thousands of casual sightseers every year in an incredible and repugnant form will have consequences in our own country." Dr. Morrison's suggested remedy: let the Jerusalem Y. M. C. A. which is less Fundamentalist than other Protestant institutions in Palestine, take the lead in "guiding travelers . . . without provoking them to a mood...
