League of Nations
AUSTRALIAN DELEGATE. DISARMAMENT CONCENTRATION. By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. GENEVA, Sept. 13. Addressing the League of Nations, Mr Bruce said '.ustralia bled in helping to save European civilisation, and that was why Australia was as interested as anyone in the future success of the League, which, he hoped, Avould replace the arbitrament of arms by tbe arbitrament of justice. Such a change had long been realised in Australian industrial conflicts. The League considered too many minor subjects; it should concentrate on disarmament. It was imperative that the League should have weapons with which to enforce its decisions, hut meantime the economic blockade should prove most effective, because the world was so organised that no nation could withstand such a blockade. Mr Bruce made a considerable impression, and was congratulated by Mr Balfour and Mr 11. A. L. Fisher (England). Mr N. IV. Rowell (Canada) warmly supported the proposition to concentrate on disarmament.
