Methodists Declare
For World Peace
London Conference Adopts
Resolution Calling For
Disarmament

London, Sept. - (By the As
sociated Press).-The worl d s
Methodist conference this after
noon adopted a strongly worded
resolution. calling for international
disarmament and the complete
abolishment Of war. This action
was taken after spirited contro-
whether mention should be made
in the resolution of the league Of
nations.
The conference finally decided
to adopt a resolution which did
not mention the league and to ask
the business committee to frame a.
separate resolution dealing with
the league which will be voted on
later.
The resolution adopted says the
conference, speaking in the name
and on behalf of 32,O00,000 follow
ers, declares without hesitation or
reservation its belief in the abso-
late necessity for international dis
armament and the complete aboli-
ton of war"
Sitting in the shadow of the
most terrible conflict in human his
tory, with it's unparalleled wastage
in human life and property and
with it's inevitable aftermath Of hu-
man sorrow and its burden Of woe,
we declare war an unmitigated
curse to humanity" the resolution
continues.
"On behalf of millions of youths
who suffered and died, on behalf Of
millions of homes broken by be-
reavement, in the name of the si-
lent multitudes who still suffer, We
insist that our statesmen and lead.
ers find way for the settlement
of international differences by 9TH
er than arms. We repudiate the
doctrine thnt war is a necessity
Justice, not force, must be the final
arbiter of right. Differences must
be settled by reason, not by human
slaughter"
The resolution says that if there
are those who refuse to listen to
reason, then let a way be found
by which such Ishmaelites may feel
the collective disapproval Of the
world
The conference. the resolution
adds, advocates no plan, but it calls
upon the authorities to "give them
selves without reserve to the Chris
tian task of finding a substitute
for war" 1t condemns armament
and says the conference especially
appeals to the meeting that is soon
to be held in Washington to dis
cuss limitation Of armament, that
no word be left unsaid nor deed
undone that shall help to relieve
the world Of its burden of arma-
ments and the threat Of war"
Immediately after the reading OF
the resolution Judge Charles 3.
Ames of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, who was an assist
ant attorney general during the ad-
ministration of President Wilson,
protested that the resolution speci-
fically indorses the approaching
conference on limitation of arma-
ments but not the league of ma
tions.
LAS a citizen of the United
States and a lover of peace and of
my country" said Judge Ames, Il
want to say that our government is
setting up competitive body to the
league of nations. The disarma-
lment conference may do more
harm than good. 1t is my profound
conviction that the people of the
United States favor our entering
the league of nations"

save our state.
We can stay here in great peace

prediction; as we undertake to car
