POLICY OF LABOUR
PEACE OF THE WORLD* PROGRESSIVE DISARMAMENT. (Per Press Association. Copyright.) C LONDON, Dec. 11. Mr Arthur Henderson, the English Labour Leader, addressing the International Trade Union Peace Congress at The Hague, said that peace was most vital to all the workers. There were no non-combatants in modern warfare. Women and children were exposed to the same risks of death and mutilation as the actual fighters. The Federation aimed at proclaiming an international strike in the event or war. But the cause of peace would already be lost if this became necessary. Labour believed peace was only securable by encouraging every nation to seek guarantees of security within the League of Nations, which should act in the direction of progressive disarmament. They must demand the inclusion and full recognition of Russia, also a change in the methods of teaching history, which now glorified military achievements and ignored the more vital aspect of the democratic growth.
