FOR PEACE.

i i t SACRIFICE NEEDED. ! Each Nation Must Surrender Something. ENGLISH BISHOP'S APPEAL. (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) (Received 2 p.m.) VICTORIA (8.C.), September 27. '•'The greatest problem facing the age to-day is the reconciliation of efficient government with the liberty of the individual, and the British Empire is, I hope, on her way to lead the world in this respect," said the Rt. Rev. F. T. Woods, Lord Bishop of Winchester, on Friday, when addressing the Canadian Club. He based his prediction on Britain's stand for liberty throughout the ages and the ingrown respect of her people for the law. "Th" highest object to be sought is one law by which justice, fellowship and peace shall be recognised by all the nations. Of course all nations seek to retain their rights and sovereignty, but they cannot retain complete sovereignty when they acknowledge one law, in the international law of peace. We should be prepared to surrender whatever needs be surrendered of our fullest liberty to gain this end. "The British Empire furnished to the world an example of how each of the individual units could retain rights of sovereignty, yet combine into one great commonwealth. "Sacrifices to peace are nothing compared to the sacrifices to war," he said.
