PEACE DESIRED
BRITISH EFFORTS CHRISTIAN CONGRESS SUGGESTED VIEWS OF PROMINENT MEN (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, August 18. The Archbishop of York, in a letter to The Times, urges that Britain should leave no doubt regarding hex’ intention to operate the League machinery in the Italo-Abyssinian dispute if the other nationals will join her. Mr George Lansbury, Leader of the Opposition, in a letter urges tlie Archbishop of Canterbury to take the lead in an appeal to the Pope to convoke a congress of every phase of Christian thought at Jerusalem to call a truce of God from the Mount of Calvary. The Bishop of Exeter, in an article in the Daily Mail, fears that war is inevitable and advises curtailing it to the utmost possible extent. For that reason, he says, all must refrain from insulting Italy. Good might be done if opinions were expressed from a fellow sinner's viewpoint indicating that Britain was blameworthy in reserving great territories in Australia and elsewhere which she cannot pretend to cultivate, while Italy and others cannot expand. An atmosphere of peace might then be produced.
