WORLD PEACE WILL BE SLOW PROCESS, SAYS DR FISHER.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS UNION CONFERENCE OPENS AT WANGANUI.
Per Press Association. WANGANUI, June 13. Delegates numbering twenty-three and representing branches all over the Dominion attended the annual conference of the New Zealand League of Nations Union which opened at Wanganui to-day. In moving the adoption of the annual report, the president, Dr Fisher, of Otago University, said that progress had been disappointingly slow. On account of so many people not being prepared to face what was meant by a repetition of the war world peace would be a lengthy process. Speaking at a public meeting in the evening Mr T. Todd (Gisborne) declared that if the League were, to fail we would go back to the conditions existing before the Norman conquest.
In an address on “Peace or War. Does it matter to you?” Professor Fisher said that a world outlook was necessary now, being good Englishmen, good Germans or Frenchmen as the case might be, but good citizens of the world.
