PEACE MOVEMENTS.
INITIATED IN JAPAN. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. > Tokio, March 23. A meeting attended by 600 of the most prominent leaders of Japan, statesmen, commercial men, journalists, teachers and priests, has instituted an International Peace Association. There was remarkable fervour in the speeches in favor of world peace and disarmament. Viscount Machisuka, who was elected chairman, proposed that delegations should visit America and China in the interest of creating a better understanding and the elimination of the prevalent idea that Japan was Imperialistic and militaristic. Mr. Idukai, a prominent Parliamentarian, said there was not a single member of the Diet who did not favor disarmament. They differed only as to the ways and means of bringing it about. Count Uchida said that the people of the world were aspiring to peace on a permanent basis, which tendency coincided with their traditional national policy. Their duty was to help the tendency grow in order that they might contribute to and share in the world peace.—Reuter.
