THE road back of the plateau o.
peace and universal daily bread is un
speakably hard" Mr.. Filene said
Progress demands internationa
friendship. Restoration of business
after the war demands that we act
and think nationally like good neigh
bors-not fight like bad neighbors.
U. S. Should Lead.
The initial step in reduction of arm
aments should be taken by the United
States, the Rev. William Pierson Mer-
rill. chairman of the American branch
of the World Alliance for Information
al Friendship, declared. He urged
America to adopt policy of reduction
rather than expansion even if other
nations failed to agree to limitation
OF armaments.
The conference. which is being at
tended by delegates from eighteen
states. is being held in connection with
the sixth annual meeting of the al
lance for international friendship.
Co-operatioa Is Need.
Mr.. Filene, dealing with the busi-
ness aspect of international relations
told the confeJence that the basic
cause of the country's business crisis
was Americas inability to export sur
plus materials because Europe 10 too
poor to pay with goods or gold. To
get back on her feet, Europeans must
have Americas assistance. he said, and
restoration Of social and political sta
bility could only result by cooperation
from the United States.
The splendid thing about it that
il we help Europe now. our co-opera-
ton will not call for sending soldiers
there" Mr.. Filene said. "My sugges-
tion is to mind your IFS: Help
Harding. Hughes, Hocver-and the
senate. Study carefully what is
to put our millions Of idle
back to work, to restore our national
annd to make certain that
we shall continue to be sure OF our
daily bread.
Rector Flags Rivalry.
The Rev. Merrill denounced unre-
competition in armament as a
crime and added that ION the part of
America" it was an 'unpardonable
SIM" He declared if the armament
failed. part Of the response
bility would rest on the church.
If other nations failed to join the
United States to lipit armament ex-
penditures to ninety per cent Of the
national. income He declared there
vas no reason for American naval ex-
,ansion. adding that Japan could not
compete with America in naval build
ng and that q naval policy contemplat-
mig war with Great Britain was
shameful"
