CHECKING THE DICTATORS.
The dictator Powers had declared war against the system of liberty, said Mr Ramsay Muir, M.P., in a speech at Oxford. They had introduced into Europe the poison of racialism and they had introduced a second poison, autarchy or economic self-sufficiency. The first object of British policy must be by every available means to avoid the outbreak of another general war. When he heard people w 7 ho shared his views described as warmongers he could hardly restrain his indignation. The real question was what was the best way to avoid war. To make constant concessions to the dissatisfied Pow r ers leaving them free to pm 7 sue their ow 7 n ends, could only lead ultimately to war. He suggested that the better way w r as quiet firmness and drawing together of all the Powers who still believed in and wanted to preserve liberty, however imperfectly some of those Powers might conceive liberty.
