IS WAR LOOMING?
AUSTRALIAN EG-MINISTER
SPEAKS OUT.
It is a tragedy, after our recent awful experience of war, that the outlook JS so black, and the prospect of war so patent to all," remarked Mr. Bmvden, M. P., former Minister for Defence, in sounding a, note of warning recently in Sydney. Tepeats the "Daily Telegraph " Xt is no use blinking at the fact that the League of Nations can do little unless America joins," declared Mr. Bowden who was speaking at the annual dinner of the Granville Brotherhood. "The more we watch the development of international affairs the more wo are driven to the conclusion that a lasting peace is fataway. The dread remains" that the peace is a peace of exhaustion, and will only last -while the exhaustion lasts. France, by star.riing to her policy of restriction, and by insisting on the full amount of the indemnity fixed at the Peace Conference, is keeping open a running sore, he added. Some people weie objecting to the expenditure.on the visit of tho American fleet, but it would be money well apant. He.believed if America and Britain stood together they could assure that the peace of the world would not be menaced.
