Give US a league OF nations and
q general reduction OF armaments
and we will begin an era of world
wide peace" William Jennings
Bryan declared in his address, Back
to God" delivered at Liberty Hut
yesterday afternoon.
The ideals Of the league are
epoch making" he said They are
based on q doctrine that war is
unnecessary and that there must he
found a substitute. My hope OF the
ultimate results OF the Peace Con-
ference lies in the fact that the two
greatest leaders. Lloyd George and
president Wilson. are determined
that the treaty shall initiate the
reign on earth OF the Prince Of
Peace"
Christ on Nietrsche.
Mr.. Bryan stated that he had heard
the various items of the league Of
nations constitution discussed. but that
the greatest question still remained
whether it meant peace or the be
ginning of another waT-'whether
Christ or Nietzsche shall determine
the doctrines of the world"
The writings of Nietzsche, the
speaker declared, written long before
the war, contained a defense Of all
the cruelties and inhumaniues prac-
ticed by the militarists Of Germany.
"Nietzsche tried to substitute the
worship Of the 'Superman' for the
worship of the living God" Mr.. Bryan
said, ''and in doing so not only re
jected the Creator but rejected all
moral standards"
