SPIRIT,"NOT COVENANTS
London, Septemb. 17,
Lord Robert, Cecil, in n paper read on his behalf at the Brotherhood Conference, said that although Avar was so horrible, it Avas better than condoning crime; and until something" was substituted for it to restrain international Avrong-doing Avar avus the only resource; and it Avould recur With increasing ferocity and . destructiveness. Every method for the keeping of peace except a League of Nations had been tided, and had failed. If, however, we relied on the provisions of a covenant to preserve peace, we Avere living in a fool’s paradise. The real motive of peace must be sought elsewhere. The only solution aa'OuUl be the application of the principles of Christianity to international relations, by following the broad bases of mercy, pity, truth, and justice. He concluded by stating that il was not the covenant of League of Nations Avhicli could saA r e humanity, but the spirit underlying it.
