It is for the sensitg of publiCeopinion ni Canada on the question of, disarmament, and for the 'instruction of Canadas representatives, that ini recent weeks,-illiofo Canadian citizens have been aaloe4 te place their naînes on a peU- tion favormng worid diarmament, te b. preentd to the great conference at Gen- eva. The fâct that hundreds of thousands of narnés have gladly been appenddte this petition las an indication that the people ef Canada do want a guarantee of permanent lWorid peace, if -such in possible of attai- ment. Admnittedly it wiil be a difficuit task to bring ail the epposing interests repre- sented at such a conference into agreement on such broad principles as will be required for a f oundation on which te build such a great achievement as world-wlde disarina- ment. But If the peoples ef the various nations wlIi present te their delegates sueh an unmistakable evidence et their desire for peace as have Canadian citizens, we believe great headway could ho made. There muet be ne petty bickering. The conference will have tailed before it starts if delegates of narrow vision and circumi- scribed otltook are sent to Geneva. The. people& etftthe earth must tell their dele- gates that this conférence miust net fait. The nations are spending as niuch money on war preparations as would retire the whole Great War debt et ail ceuntries i an inicredibly brief peried. If the. vast sums spent on army and navy and air force dur- ing each yesr were turned into induatrial and social welfare and educational channels what a change would resuit. And yet, this great waste wil continue unies* Vthe people of the. earth who have it in their power te do se wilI instruet their statesmen that ne possible effort mutt ho spared te achieve world disarmament. - There are those who say that a drean ot werld ponce la folly. Usually such peo- ple stand te profit by.war. But the people who, as in the years 1914-1918, ses in war on2Y sorrow and mlSery and sacrifice and death will net be con<nted until they can feel that for their chldren and thelr childrena childrut *0 horror of war are forever bantbed from the earth.
