By Timea Special GENEVA, Aug. 30.—Unanimous support was given here to a resolution against governmental censorship, introduced before the international Press Conference, meeting under auspices of the League of Nations, by Robert P. Scripps, president of Scripps-How-ard newspapers. The resolution, introduced yesterday and unanimously adopted, was as follows: “Whereas, It is the principal theory and reason for the being of this conference that free and prompt interchange between peoples of news of events and conditions makes for mutual understanding and consequently peace; and, “Whereas, It is obvious that news dispatches must, to be effective in this sense, be accepted popularly as true in the countries in which they are published: and, “Whereas, The existence in any country of official censorship or proclamation by any government of the right of censorship must destroy in any other country public confidence in news dispatches originating in the country where such censorship either is applied or the right to censor is proclaimed: therefore be it “Resolved, by this conference. That all governments which now impose qensorship be asked to abandon and publicly to announce abandonment of such censorship at least as applied to dispatches of foreign correspondents and at least in times of peace.” Mr. Scripps, who replied in behalf of the American Press to Sir Eric Drummond’s welcoming speech at the official banquet of the conference, later gave a dinner in behalf of the United Press and the ScrippsHoward newspapers to the British delegation to the conference.

BRITISH ARMS POLICY CAUSES CECILTORESIGN England’s Stand Caused Geneva Parley to Collapse, Says Statesman. Bp United Preea ' LONDON, Aug. 30.—Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, in a letter to Premier Baldwin, resigning from the cabinet, Monday night indicted the government’s entire disarmament policy and plainly indicated his belief that this policy caused failure of the recent three-power naval conference at Geneva. Cecil added that “hope for the future lies in an aroused and instructed public opinion,” revealing his intention to tell the country what he believes is the right policy. The letter from one of Britain’s foremost statesemen and one of the founders of the League of Nations, said the recent three-power naval conference at Geneva failed because of refusal of the British delegation to reduce its tonnage to a figure acceptable to the United States and Japan. \ Cecil, who was a member of the British delegation, said he was cut of sympathy with instructions from the government during the Geneva conference, and he said it was his opinion .hat an agreement might have been reached at Geneva without sacrificing British interests if only the government had taken a different attitude. Baldwin replied saying he would accept the resignation with regret. Although the resignation becomes effective at once, Cecil will continue his duties as chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster until Baldwin returns from his vacation at Aix Les Baines. Announcing his resignation, Cecil said he would not go to the meeting of the League of Nations at Geneva on Thursday as one of the British government’s delegates. The Daily News said Baldwin had appointed the Earl of Onslow to replace Cecil at the League of Nations assembly. - About 40 per cent of the people of the United States, or 47,000,000, belong to some church.
