Roberts and Dr. Newton Speak at Manhattan Meeting. Disarmament and world peace were discussed on the eve of the Armistice anniversary at the fall meeting of the New York City Association of CongreNational Churches held in Broadway Tabernacle, Manhattan. The Rev. Dr.

Richard Roberts of the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, and the Rev. Dr. Joseph Fort Newton of the Church of the Divine Paternity, Manhattan, were the speakers. Dr. Roberts said in part: "Peace has to be willed, commanded, organized as sedulously as preparation for war.

We are in the habit of thinking of peace negatively, as of overt war. We must think of peace positively, a real peace, more than a truce which punctuates the world's sad history of wars. "There. is it no such possible thing to as a indoctri- fated is bate the public mind with this fatalism 50 that the point comes when there is no more stopping the war than there is of stopping an avalanche. "We are today creating out of Japan in ugly monster, a gross abstraction, -which is a judgment not of realism but of sentimentality.

When one of these sentimentalists speaks, he is often taken to be representative. I have no doubt that when Mr. Hearst lifts up his voice, Japan often errs in thinking that he speaks for America. will not deny that in Japan the reactionary element is in the saddle. The one thing necessary to.

keep it there is to increase" anti Japanese sentiment. We who are liberals here should unite with liberats there to make impossible this inevitable war. If we have learned anything from the last war we know that it will not De limited to a war between a white nation and a yellow nation; it will grow into a war between the white race and the yellow race." Dr. Newton said in part: "I find it necessary sometimes to arouse myself from pessimism as a result of the bereavement of two years--the bankruptcy of peace. What done trophe? The pressure gives guarantee us from another, catasme hope.

Some sort of limitation of armaments is financially and economically necessary. There is a certain fatalism of righteousness in the fact that only a moral principle will work financially and economically. "Behind all the gold lace of the conference in Washington the great, grim facts of the war will stand. What do we want the Conference to do? What definite and specific thing? As a beginning it should put a stop to the increase of armaments and the private manufacture of arms and ammunition. While men have selfish interests at stake they will contiually provoke war.

When such activity ceases to be profitable they will lose interest in war." MARY AND DOUG. CROSS MEDITERRANEAN IN STORM (By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila. Ledger: Copyright, 1921.)
