MORAL REARMAMENT
Mr. Herbert Hoover’s Advocacy
Mr. Herbert Hoover, former President of the United States, is the latest international figure to take up the call for moral rearmament made recently by Lord Baldwin and other British statesmen. Speaking in Toronto to a distinguished audience, which included Lord Tweedsmuir, Senator Arthur Meighen, a former Premier of Canada and othef members of Parliament, he said. “Moral rearmament has become the world’s vital need. It is something far more than prohibitions and laws. The failure of men to develop and maintain moral standards Is a defl ciency in all nations which produces ah this conflict and confusion.
“The democracies, while they may view the world’s violence with horror, have themselves greater moral troubles. We should worry less over public conscience and mass morals, and worry more over individual conscience and in dividual morals, for therein is the only foundation of real moral progress Moral and spiritual rearmament eomtl be achieved by nations whose leaders stand solid.”
