King and President Harding, conveying a hope for world peace were sent to- day by the world conference of nie- thodists session. In an address to the King the conference said. ‘'‘Especially is this world’s conference united with your Majesty in your earnest desire that “the efforts now being made for peace and conteatment in Ireland may meet with early and complete success.’”” Mr. Lloyd George sent this message ‘'l should like to send cordial greetings to the Methodists ecumenical conference assembled in London. This conferer~ represeats the most remarkable reliziyus movement of the few centuries. The English speaking race owe a special debt of reverent gratitude to John Wesley the greatest spiritual leader and re- ligious organizer they ever produced. The influence of his life’s work extended far beyond the community, he founded what ‘constitutes today one of the great- ast moral forces in the world.”’ : Cardiff, Wales Sept. Tth.—The trades uniol _congress at the end of a long de- bate adopted unanimously an emergency resolution demanding that the Govern- ment summon parliament immed:ately and irtroduce practical schemes of the unemployed. The congress alsn adopted a resolution approving the effects of the various boards of guardians, including that of Poplar which had atte npted, in the absence of proper Government assis- tanee, to give adequate relief to the un- employed, [h2 Parliamentary committee of the trades uaion congress and the na- tional exezutive council of the labour party in joint meetings decided to send a telegram to Mr. Lloyd Georze urging the ‘Government to invit2 reoresentatives of the Irish people to meet them face to face in conference, and declaring that it would be a disaster if the deep and spontaneons feeling for peace now pre- vailing was allowed to evaporate while their rapres2ntativ:s engaged in a ¢in- troversy by the exchange of notes. The telegram further declares that the labour movement must resist to the utmost fur- ther reference to arbitration by force and that resumption of warfare in Ireland would outrage the moral sense of the whole world and would never receive the sanction of the British people.

LU 81 Chile’s position as uncompromising on this “question. He "recalled that the President of Bolivia had lectared that he would respeet the treaty of 1904 between Chile and Bolivia, revision of which Boli- via had asked the asser®ly to take under consideration. At _last night’s confer- ence President Van Karnaheek told Senor Aramayo of Bolivia that the as- sembly could not place itself in the dangerous position of tacitly going on record as being compeient to revise treaties.
