DAYS OF UNREST.
TROUBLES OF BRITISH EMPIRE. THREAT TO SOCIAL SYSTEMS. By Telegraph—-Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Addressing the annual conference of the Congregational Union to-night, Mr. Peter Barr (chairman) referred to the terrible conditions of unrest, internal and international, throughout the world. It involved possibilities even of civil war in three at least of the countries forming the Empire, threatening in both the Homeland and the’ Dominions the very existence of the institutions and systems of thought with which we were familiar all our lives. He referred to strikes, “go-slow”, profiteering and petty thieving, which, he said, had become systematic. It was despair alike to the owners of goods, the public who suffered, and the authorities whose duty it was to suppress it. Th© Church was not dead, as had been stated, but was a living force in lifting up and saving men. He advocated ewy effort being made for Church union and the League of Nations.
