| Swiss Catholic Paper on Peace-The
Neue Zuricher Nachrichten of Berne,
a Swiss Catholic newspaper, which is

conference have suffered many disil.
| lusions. They have been obliged to
recognize that their foreign comrades
| are in no way convinced of Germanys
innocence as regards the war They
have been obliged to defend them
selves almost as if they were accused
persons. The Stockholm conference
proves that force still has the last
word, whatever progress pacifism is
making. 1t now is for the vast organ
ization of the Catholic Church to yoke
itself to work for peace
