There had always been, said the preacher, a desire on the part of the true followers of Christ to sub stitute a better method than war for the settlement of disputes be tween the nations. There had been in the past many attempts and many failures. After the fall of Napoleon the Czar of Russia fouad- ed the Holy Alliance, in which a group of nations sought to pro- scribe war. Britain held aloof and her suspicions of the Czar's motives unfortunately, were justified and the Alliance accomplished little. Later came the system by which groups of nations bound themselves togethor for mutual protection. But each group eyed the other suspiciously, and there was no security..

In the meantime I was taken into a mountain overlooking the Government Smokeless Powder Manufacturing Plant near the Little North River. I made an unsuc- Cessful attempt to escape on the way, and was severely beaten about the head and body with the butts of their automatics.

After the Great War, the setting up of the League of Nations, was embodied in the Treaty of Ver sailles as the expression of world hntred of war. Forty two nations joined at once, and the number had now been increased to 354, represent ing three quarters of the human race. After summarising the con- stitution of the Longue, the Dean said that the Council of the League had, since its inception, intervened in no less than 17 big political crises, and

on every occasion a peaceful settlement had been reach ed. The statesmen of the world were getting the habit of working together, they know each other, and auch was the publicity thrown on the proceedings at Geneva that it was not easy for any national re- presentative to come forward with a week and unjust cause.

Mention was then made of the work of the League committees in the matter of disarmament, health, Labour conditions, the traffic in women and children, and other spheres which could only be handled by an international body.
