KING’S .MESSAGE
CHIEF HOPE LIES IN LEAGUE OF NATIONS MORE THAN ONE CONFLICT ALREADY AVERTED United Press Assn, by El. Tel. Cop*risrhi (Australian Press Assn.) (Received Oct. 28, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 28. “I doubt if any people have subdued the war spirit more than tho British”, said Mr Baldwin, at a great gathering at the Albert Hall on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of tho inception of the League of Nations Union. 'Ho added that as the result of the work of the League, international jurisprudence was being built up to which the strongest nations would have to conform. He must contradict the idea, for which thero was no shadow of foundation, that Britain to some extent abandoned the position of impartiality and conciliation, she had assumed at the time of the Locarno Pact. Tho policy of the Government was to help to complete the great post-war task of eliminating mutual rivalries and suspicions. Viscount Grey declared that more than ono war had already been averted by recourse to tho League of Nations. We had made no new entanglements. .There was no change in the orientation of our policy. ‘lf you think you are going to defeat things, that culminate in hatred and war without spiritual fight, you are foredoomed to failure”, he said. “The tiger in us all ‘must be eliminated ii tho State is to survive”. The speaker did not mention the building of ships in competition with the United States. ...
The King sent a message that in tho support of tho League only rested our chief hope for the "future peace of the world.
