CONFERENCES REVIEWED
Lloyd George, Clemenceau and

Part in Reconstruction.

The moral and political responsible
ity of the Anglo-Sa countries to
give the nations of the world leader
ship in the direction of the formation
of an international league or court of
arbitration was pointed out yester-
day by the Rev. DR.. Frederick w. Nor
wood, exchange preacher from the
City Temple, London, who is preach
ing at the Broadway Tabernacle for
six weeks, taking the place of DR..
Charles Edward Jefferson.
In opening his sermon on English
Speaking Peoples and the Future OF
the World" DR.. Norwood paid tribute
to the heroic dead of America by say
ing:
IT salute you and your dead. When
men die for a great cause, they are
not dead. They die for the future of
mankind. they throw down their lives
willingly that the rest of the world
may live, and live under better,
broader conditions"
"WOrId Peace Newest Science"
From the mention of the soldier
dead Dr. Norwood took up the three
the peace conference at Versailles. the
Washington conference. and the recent
economic conference at Genoa. He said:
'The making of world peace is the
Youngest of the sciences and one which
has been born in our generation. OF
this new science of peace for the world
there are no textbooks, no axfoms or
rules laid down, nor any authentic or
sanization whereby the science may be
fostered to a successful result.
''The League of Nations conferences.
the Genoa and Washington parleys, all
these aspired to give leadership to men,
but their principles were strongly d.
verted We are awakened at last by
the horror of wars destruction to try
and find way of adjusting and recon-
Cling divergent interests of nations by
the laws of reason rather than of force
1t may be 100 years before the solution
to the problem is found. but we must
labor increasingly for that solution. II
this world peace does not come, the
future will not be worth the trouble
to make a prophesy about.
"If we could only have slept for ten
years after the armfstice This would
have been most merciful At the signing
of the armistlce the world was ready
for almost anything other than peace
of the kind needed most by the world
Great leaders of nations in war
cannot turn right about in a day and
use their power to advocate immediate
peace. Clemenceau. Lloyd George or
any other great war leader of Europe
who by their personal powers had
swayed the countries and were more
valuable than million fighting men.
they could not turn to their people and
say: Now the arguments we used for
war are all wrong. What you want Is
international peace and brotherly love
If they did. they would lose the very
power which made them great war lead
ers.
THE brain Of Woodrow Wilson alone
among the brains of the great men in
Europe saw what was needed. saw the
path to be followed. This man at least
was thinking and making for principles
OF peace that would abide. but others
were there to thrash him into silence"
Paints Great Personalities.
Taking each of the leaders of France
and England in turn. DR.. Norwood
sketched in word pictures remarkably
clear the personalities of Clemenceau
the Tiger and Lloyd George of Eng
land. The former, said DR. Norwood,
was called the Tiger because he seemed
TO have the propensity for tearing down
and clawing governments to pieces. but
never offering anything else to supplant
the destruction he had accomplished.
| Turning to the subject of David Lloyd
George. he said
Here is the practical man. and the
man whom every one recognizes has
borne too much of the burden of re-
sponsibility and an amount which no
single man should be expected to bear.
He is fighting to hold Europe together
and has marvellous way of getting
things done. During the war he was
worth more than half million soldiers
TO England he said Hang the Kaiser
when that was being said, and at each
stage OF developments he has been the
| practical man. He Is still fighting to
hold Europe together. and II one of
your statesmen had been with him he
would have won through
