CHURCH GIVES LEAD ON NAVAL DISARMAMENT.
BISHOP OF RIPON PREACHES SERMON. <Unlted Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, January 20. The Bishop of Ripon, preaching a special disarmament sermon in Westminster Abbey, which was intended to be the Church’s lead to the conference, said: “The stage is set for an international conference of greater moment than any since 1919. The results will be judged in the light of the Pact of Paris—that solemn renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy. If after signing the Pact the great naval Powers, with every motive' for reducing expenditure on armaments, yet find themselves unable to do so, it will obviously mean one thing—that is, they might just as well proclaim the Pact of Paris to be the scrap of paper which the cynics have always said it is.”
