METHODS OF KEEPING PEACE
SIR GEORGE RICHARDSON'S VIEWS (PBBSS ASSOCIATIOJJ TELifHUII.) AUCKLAND, September 16. "We have implicit confidence that our leaders in the Old Country will do the right thing. In the Cabinet there are returned soldiers determined to prevent war at all costs short of injury to our country and the Empire," said General Sir George Richardson at a reunion of the Old Contemptibles' Association on Saturday night to the accompaniment of loud applause by a large assemblage of returned soldiers. A letter, read from the French Consul, M. Joubert, who was prevented from attending by an accident, suggested that strong collaboration between Britain and France was one of the best guarantees of peace. Speaking later, Sir George Richardson said: "We must remember that we cannot abolish war by disarmament and extreme pacifism. We must watch that the Empire maintains an army and navy of sufficient force to defend Us in the event of, an attack. We cannot stand to one side while a nation of natives, a nation of primitive men, is wiped out." (Prolonged applause.)
