World peace will come only when
the principles of brotherhood as laid
down by Christ 1000 years ago have
been adopted throughout the world,
the World brotherhood Congress was
told today by Rev. DR.. Samuel zane
Batten of Philadelphia and Rev. Her
bert Dunnico of London England at
foday's session in the First Congrega-
tionaI Church, 10th and G SITS,
The diplomacy of European nations
was the cause of the world war-diplo-
macy that was sordid and dirty-the
sneakers maintained. This diplomacy
has used armies and navies to pro-
fect investments in foreign lands
rather than merely maintaining par
ticular dynasties in power. Without
referring specifically to the Paris
league of nations. DR.. Batten said:
Would Organize Nations.
We must have an organization OF
The nations as shall look after the in1
ternational relations of the wortd.
We must have a league of nations,
federation Of peoples. to express our
common humanity, to frame codes OF
international law, to spread the prin-
ciples of international morality, 10
adjust the relations of nations, to Sc
cure equal justice for all. to pSpmote
the welfare of all peoples Hanocaces
We must set before ourselves the task
of making an end of war. We must
create a fellowship of brothers In all
nations who will seek toNestablish JUS
tice throughout the world"
Both speakers urged the necessity
of the esta blishment of a new social
order. in which justice shall be done
to the workers of the world.

Is ATTITUDE of Soul"
."Brotherhood," said DR.. Batten in
his appeal to the congress today. sis
an attitude of soul and a way of life.
By the nature of the case it is the
final law for all life and the ideal for
all relationship. 1t is here that we
meet the final test of our faith today.
tain reservations. They believe in
church brotherhood, and accept it as
the law for the prayer meeting and
the missionary society. But it has
confess that it is the law of God for
all realms and relations of life. Like
the New York business men, they say:
sDo you think am heathen? Why
fcso9 OF course, sess in ,o ,oroshe rhood hso,
brotherhood is fact. il men are in
reality brothers, then bretherhood Is
final fact, and all human relations
must be brotherly relations.
Must Remove Dangers.
= They who seek a world of brothers
must remove the things that break
brotherhood. 1t is for US to remove
the causes and conditions which deny
brotherhood and keep men divided
into warning factions. In every so
ciety we find conditions that defeat
Brotherhood. In some lands it is
caste; in others it may be pride Of
race; in western lands it is very often
privilege.
Men love distinction, we are told,
even though it be that of schief
mourner at a funeral. So they have
gained control of government and
have turned it's power against the
people. They have seized the best
portions of the land and have held
these for their own advantage. If We
are ever to have world of brothers
we must have done with these things.

right in this world as any other life.
Property for All.
1--WE must create such conditions in
society as shall make it possible for
every family to possess some property
for use and life, but we must not per-
nit any persons to hold property for
power and exploitation.
:. .It is in the industrial world that
we find some of the chief conditions
that defeat brotherhood. In ancient
times slavery was practically uniyer-
sal and this was a fiat denial of
brotherhood. There has grown up a
system which no. less defeats brother
hood.
Enthrones Competition Law.
'It has enthroned the law of COM
petition as the law of industrial life
and has reduced an autocratic control
of industry. Thus our present indus
trial system is working at cross pur-
poses with the spirit of brotherhood.
Some men are preaching the neces-
-sity OF class consciousness; they are
looking for the day when one class.
their class, shall dominate society and
dictate to mankind. No man can be-
lieve more fully than / in the right
of the working people to full oppor-
tunity in life and a fair place in socie7
ty. But progress must come through
the cooperation Of all in the behalf
of all Any movement that breaks
men up into classes, whether ecclesias-
ticaI, or social, industrial or interna-
,ionaI, is denial of brotherhood and
will lead men into the desert
No Mystery About War.
Discussing the world war. DR.. Bat
ten declared that there was no mys-
terry about it's causes. that it did not
come as bolt out of the blue. He
said that it was a direct result of
false principles and wrong policies of
nations The foreign policies OF the
so-called Christian nations. he said,
have been practically untouched by
the Christian spirit.
DR.. Batten said there was need OF
world patriotism" something in addi-
-tion TO a true national patriotism
This world patriotism" he said, '';s
the enlargement of life and the
crowning Of national loyalty" He
added that he was not terrified by the
term "internationalist"
Condemns Conditions.
Mr.. Dunnico condemned existing
conditions in the nations of the world
as vigorously as did DIR. Batten. He
predicted that through the brother
hood movement much would be done
to alleviate these conditions The
