Support For Mr. Savage’s Plan Dominion Special Service. DUNEDIN, June 20. The Council of the University of Otago received a communication from Hie honorary secretary of the National Peace Council of New Zealand at its meeting today, requesting support of tlie Prime Minister's proposals for a world conference on economic ami other questions affecting the peace of the world. The chancellor. Mr. W. J. Morrell, said it' was needless to say that ali wished for a national peace conference. The council might consider whether it would sign Hie petition which had been forwarded asking for a world conference for peace, understanding, and economic adjustment, or simply carry a motion expressing sympathy with the Prime Minister’s efforts for Hie furthering of world peace. Mr. F. W. .Mitchell: Do you think it is possible to get a world conference? The chairman: No, I don't. Mr. Mitchell: I think it is futile.
Mr. S. Rice: We would support the .Minister in an effort to introduce military training.
Mr. L. D. Ritchie said he thought the council should express its sympathy with all methods to obtain world peace. The movement might possibly be futile, but if everybody took up that attitude, then God help the world. On Mr. Ritchie’s motion it was decided to support Hie movement promulgated by tlie Prime Minister.
