PEACE DOMINANT
MR BALDWIN ON POLICY
HOPE FOR JOINT REDUCTION OP ARMAMENTS
(BRITISH O-ftfICIAL WIBXLIESS.) RUGBY, January 28,
In a letter to the National Conservative candidate in the North St. Pancvas by-election, the Prime Minister (Mr Stanley Baldwin) says: “The issue that dominates all others at present is the maintenance of peace. Everything points to still further improvement in our social and industrial conditions, provided we can be assured of the security of peace.
“In order to guarantee our security, it is essential that we should have stronger defence forces, although we all hope the time is not far distant when we shall be able to persuade other nations to agree to a joint reduction of armaments.
“This can only be secured by patient and prudent statesmanship and the avoidance of headstrong courses of action.
“This country has no use for fascism or communism, and it has no desire to be drawn into any conflict between these two extreme creeds.”
