Mr. D. Lloyd George to-day ad- dressed the seventh World Con- vention of the Christian En- deavour, the delegates to which represent over 30 nations. His theme was "The Youth of the World for Peace and Goodwill."

We old fellows were brought up in A world that regarded armamento with Occasional war as a part of the grim essen- tials of human civilisation. We have not got away from it.. The most horrible, devaytal- ing, and greatest war will have yet to come unless youth tears that idea from the heart of civil- isation. Europe had been drink- ing of armaments until it got delirium tremens in 1914, and it is going on drinking secretly now. There are greater armies. in Europe 10-day than ever before."
