TORONTO CONFERENCE
THE CLOSING STAGES VALUABLE RESULTS (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) TORONTO, September 22. (Received Sept. 22, at 11.55 p.m.) “We can render no more excellent service than promote these two great organisations, the British commonwealth and the League of Nations,” said the Hon. Newton Rowell when closing the first British Comonwealth Relations Conference to-day. He ranked the personal friendships formed and the frank statements among the gathering as most, valuable results. It was wise, he thought, that such a conference should be unofficial.
Addressing the Empire and Canadian clubs to-day Viscount Cecil said that the British Commonwealth, even if it was joined by the United States, could not be the policeman of the world. He urged every effort as fast as possible _ to strengthen the great machinery provided for world peace by the League of Nations, whose only fault was not in the machinery but that it had not yet been used to its full power.
