ISSUES OF PEACE
MR BALDWIN'S VIEWS DISARMAMENT PROBLEMS (British Official Wireless.) Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, February 8. (Received February 9, at 1 p.ra.) During a discussion in the House of Commons on Imperial affairs, Mr Baldwin described the debate as complementary to the disarmament debate. He said there were immense difficulties in securing a disarmament agreement, and ho warned members against light-hearted talk on economic blockages or Budgetary limitations on armaments. He did not agree that war was inevitable. The only surviving cause of war was the question of boundaries that might be unsatisfactory now or in the future, and changes in them should be regarded as work proper to the League of Nations. If the disarmament efforts succeeded there would he agreed limits • up to which all countries could arm, and it would bo their duty to make themselves as competent as possible up to that limit, which was what every nation must do if it was to make itself fit to be a partner and colleague of the other nations.
