TO-DAY'S ECONOMICS.
ADDRESS TO CIVIC LEAGUE. \ "In the world to-day there is no real science of economics," said Mrs. E. M. Axford in an address on "Economics From the Ethical Point of View," given at the last monthly meeting of the Civic League held in the Penwomen's Club rooms, yesterday afternoon. "What we have," the speaker continued, "are a group of nations using the economical system purely as an international weapon." Mrs. Axford went on to explain how a new era was arising and how, with the progress of civilisation the world had been brought into closer brotherhood. There could be no satisfactory solution to the economical problem, she said, until all the nations united in an effort to establish an international system. Only by a central government and an international system of economics could the world be brought to any form of peace and prosperity.
Mrs. Kenneth Gordon presided at the meeting. During the business session a letter was read from the International League for Peace and Freedom, asking for a boycott of Japanese good*. No discussion took place on the subject.
