LEAGUE OF NATIONS
HtSH PURPOSE TO FULFIL ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S VIEWS Pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 27. The Archbishop of Canterbury, presiding at the' opening of the Convocation of Canterbury, referred to the international situation and the proposals for the reform of the League of Nations. He said that if the League was to fulfil its high purpose they could not acquiesce in its being reduced to the position of a mere council of conciliation. The spirit of aggressive nationalism was too strong and the fear and suspicion it aroused were too rife. 11 We cannot abandon or whittle down what the League stands for,” declared the Primate. “ The actual circumstances of the time seem to have discredited it, but the ideal remains, and will remain. For the Christian world the ultimate basis of justice and peace will be the moral and spiritual one of a reconstructed League of Nations.
