OPPRESSION OF ARMAMENTS.
One of the ablest peace advocates of the age and one of the most scholarly of men, Sir Max Waechter, has performed another - great service to the cause of humanity by the issue of a memorandum relating to the European Unity League, which has been formed with the object of " carrying out the most important social reform.' 1 i While means are wanting for relieving poverty and suffering, increasing wages, improving the homes of the people, and building the necessary hospitals, schools, shelters, dispensaries, etc. , the nations of Europe are spending about £500,000,000 a year on their navies and armies. The reduction of armaments can only be brought about by joint action on the part of the great nations. TL» Triple Alliance (composed of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) and the Triple Entente (composed of Great Britain, France, and Russia) must be combined into a Sextuple Alliance, and the federation of Europe will follow. It is the object of the league to bring about that federation, and the initial step will be the creation of a complete and cordial understanding between England and Germany who hold the key to the position.
