pact outlawing war as a means Of
settling disputes between nations
was described today by James Oil
yer Murdoch as the cornerstone Of
a new international social order.

Previous to the Paris pact for
the remuneration Of war, Murdoch
explained international relations

ways. by pacific settlement and
"a War, ne continued, had been
under suspicion for a long time as
conflicts merely had increased the
number OF controversies. devastat-
ed territory. depleted man power

for the lateneSS in the renuncia-

them in two dimensions and the
civilian populations we're lot men
aced by aircraft bombs and poison
