PERIL TO EMPIRE
BRITISH DISARMAMENT
WHILE OTHERS ARM
SIR ROGER KEYES WARNS
SENTIMENTAL POLITICIANS
United Press Association—By Electric Teletrraph—Copyrignt. (Received May 29, 10 a.m.) LONDON, May 28. Admiral Sir Roger Keyes, speaking at »a gathering of R.N.V.R. old comrades in London, said: —"The sentimental politician is doing his best to dissipate the Empire for which we fought. Some of us are wondering where it will end, especially when we find at Geneva how anxious "everyone appears to be to ensure that Britain shall be the first, to disarm, while other nations are busily arming. - The old Scriptural injunction, 'A strong man armed keepeth peace,' should not be forgotten by England today.' The reference is no doubt to Luke 11, 21, where the actual text is slightly different from Sir Roger's condensed version, probably quoted from memory. The words in the Scripture are:— When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace.
