THE CAUSE OF PEACE.
VISCOUNT CECIL’S VIEWS. WOODROW WILSON’S PART. LS Y CABLE— PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPY RIGHT. (Received Dec. 30, 11.20 aim.) NEW YORK, Dec. 29. Viscount Cecil has been presented with the 25,000 dollar Peace Award and medal given under the Woodrow Wilson Foundation for meritorious service in the cause of international cooperation and peace. In accepting the award Viscount Cecil asserted that the advance during the past five years in the direction of international co-opera-tion was little short of marvellous. Praising the United States for consistently standing for peace, he said he would not utter a word of. criticism regarding the attitude of the United States towards the League of Nations. He stressed, however, the accomplishments of the League since its inception under the leadership of Wilson, whom he characterised as a great American and a great citizen of the world, adding that no title to fame is higher than that. Disarmament is the goal to which all intelligent lovers of peace must desire to tend, hut the difficulties in the way are prodigious.
