The Archbishop of Canterbury, Presiding at the opening of the con: vocation of Canterbury to-day referred to the international situation and proposals for the reform of the League of Nations, He said that, if the League were to fulft its high purpose, they could not acquiesce in its being reduced to position of a mere council of con ciliation. The spirit of aggressive nationalism was too strong, and the fear and suspicion it aroused 109 rite, "We cannot abandon or whittle down what the League stands for," declared the Primate. "The actual circumstances of the time seem to have discredited it, but the ideal remains and will remain for the Christian world. The ultimate basis justice and peace will be a moral and spiritual one of a reconstructed League of Nations."—Wireless through Reuter.
