A renewed determination pursue the cause of peace, need for which was well illustrated by several speakers, including Mr. F. C. Mow Fung and Dr. E. L. Allen, emerged from a meeting

What were the fundamental elements of peace? That was a momentous question. He thought the answer could be summed up brielly by quoting from the second part of the Song of Pralae which heralded Christianity 1,900 years ago. "On earth peace: Goodwill to all men."

Goodwill to men, Irrespective of race, class or creed. They would remember that this same principle was implied in the words of the great Chinese philosopher, Con- fucius "Within the four sens, all are brothers."

Dr. Allen's Speech,

Dr. E. L. Allen said in part: We are here to-day to talk about peace and to talk about it ns those who are resolved to face the facts. That being the case, there is one question which we cannot avold anking and trying to answer; "In the League failed?" I would answer that what we are witnes: sing to-day is not the failure of the League but its virtual repudia tion by the Powers which created it. Faced with the demand that they implement the promises they made, signed, and solemnly pledged themselves to observe, they prefer to write across the face of the Covenant and the Kellogg Fact the words, "Not to be taken seriously!" To adapt words which were used originally in a different connexion, "The League has not been found wanting, it has been found difficult and not tried."

It seems to me that we may have to wait another 100 years or 80 before we have a clearer case of the violation of international open

obligations than has been presented in the last few months. I do not mean that In the dispute between Japan and China, right is all on one side and the other is entirely wrong: I am sure that there is a considerable measure of guilt on each side. But from the beginning we have seen one disputant ready to accept League intervention and to submit its case to consideration by impartial third parties while the other has stubbornly declined to acknowledge any verdict except what it could obtain by its armed force.

Our civilisation is leading all the while a double life, a sort of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde existence. On the one hand is the now order which is the ideal aspect of the League, an order of nations co- operating freely and sincerely de- alrous of living together on a boats of understanding and goodwill; on the other is the old bad system of secret diplomacy, armed alliances, and mang-armaments prepared for an outburst of mutual slaughter. Everywhere at the present time those who are in power seem to be casting their weight for old system against the new-that is the most disquieting feature of the whole situation.

Blame Is Ours.

I have enld that the League is weak because the strong nations are determined to keep it weak so that they may possess the earth

by their strength. I have said also that the blame is ours, in so far as we want our nation to stand for its own rights and privileges instead of becoming a member in a world- commonwealth. It is an individual responsibility and I want to ask for individual decision. The time has come when we want men and women who will say, "Henceforth I am a citizen first of the world and only thereafter of England or France, China or Japan and so on." "Religion is world-loyalty, suid Prof. Whitehead. I bellove that the time has come when the only true patriotism is world-loyalty. Wo'must think, apeak and act in- ternationally and no longer from within the limits of our separate antionalitice.

SUGAR MARKET.

This Society of Peace-Loving individuals was aroused to activity by the events which Dr. Allen had described. It found that as In- dividuals It could contribute to the realisation of the common aim. It hoped to do work by publicity, propaganda and individual efforts, to interest the public In general, and foster a determination to do all in their power in the cause of pence.
