BROTHERHOOD CONFERENCE.
LORD ROBERT CECIL'S VIEWS. WAR BETTEiR THAN CONDONING CRIME. 1 By TclegropU.—Press Asgn- CopyTlght. London, Sept. 17. Lord Robert Cecil, in the course of a paper read on his behalf at the Brotherhood Conference, said that, although war was so horrible, it was better than condoning crime, and, until something was substituted to restrain international wrong-doing, war was the only recourse, arid would recur with increasing ferocity and destructiveness. Every method of keeping the peaco except a League of Nations had been tried and had failed. If, however, we relied on the provisions of the Covenant to preserve peace, we should be living in a fool's paradise. The real motive of peaee nnwt be sought elsewhere; the only solution would be the application of the principles of Christianity to international relations by following the broad bases of mercy, pity, truth, and justice. It was not the Covenant of the League of Nations which could save humanity, but the spirit underlying it.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
