THE CAUSE OF PEACE
NATION’S SELF-INTEREST FUTURE OF CONFERENCES Press Association. —Copyright. Wellington, May 9. “What has been wrong with all the conferences held in the interests of peace since the close of the war?” asked Bishop Sprott in an address at the opening of the Anglican Synod to-day. “Has it not been just this —that all the nations concerned have approached the question chiefly, if not exclusively, from the point of view of their own self-interest? “This has inevitably aroused suspicion, distrust and fear. The result is that increasing numbers of people have become convinced that nationalism is an enemy and that there can be no lasting peace till national sentiment has been eradicated.” Bishop Sprott thought the remedy would be found not in the eradication of national sentiment but in a more general display of a spirit of brotherhood.
