NOT PACIFIST
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS UNION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. References in the Press recently to members of the League of Nations Union joining the Navy League were commented on by the Rev F. J. Usher, the chairman, at a meeting of the Wellington branch of the League of Nations Union yesterday. Mr Usher said he did not believe such references were intended to cast any slur on the League of Nations Union, but they did contain the inference that there was a difference in the point of view of the two bodies. He held that that was not so. The League of Nations Union was not a pacifist movement in a fanatical sense.
“We are not supporters of a war of aggression," he said, but we are advocates of the defence of freedom, righteousness and goodwill among the peoples of the earth.”
