DISARMAMENT.
WORLD-WIDE PROBLEM
LEAGUE’S GOOD WORK,
LONDON, Jan. 28,
Sir _ Joseph Cook, lecturing on disarmament at the City Temple, said that the expenditure attributable to war and defenoe made up 80 per cent, of the United States total. The British case was similar in this respect, and that France was much worse.
The Locarno Pact was an excellent beginning, but it left the United States, Japan, Russia and Turkey out of account. Disarmament was a world question, necessitating all those countries coming into the arrangement.
Ho advocated more support for the League of Nations, which gradually, if slowly, was creating an international mind, modifying and mollifying fierce nationlisms, and building up a code of moral sanctions which the nations were coming gradually and voluntarily to recognise and obey.
