APPEAL FOR PEACE
VITAL ISSUE AT GENEVA.
ARMAMENT LIMITATION.
Church organisations throughout New Zealand have received a memorandum from the Dominion League of Nations’ Union on the significance of the Disarmament Conference to be held in Geneva next February. The league issufes* an appeal to the clergy to use every endeavour to direct public feeling toward an intense demand for world peace. “Even if the conference achieves all and more than all that is expected of it,” the circular states, “world war may conceivably again take place; but if the conference fails to secure at the very least limitation of armaments, war of a magnitude and destructiveness without precedent will almost certainly take peace. It is further stated that the nations of the earth arc in the aggregate spending upward of £2,000,000 every 24 hours in preparing for the next war, or in “providing for their security.”
