PEACE OF EUROPE.
A STRUGGLE INVOLVED
LONDON, Aug. 11. “The maintenance of peace will clearly involve a struggle,” said 1 Dr. H. A. L. Fisher, Warden of New College, Oxford, and a former president of the Board of Education, in. a. speech at London University. “Teh peace of Europe,” he said', “is at present the offspring of accident. Wo must .make it the cih.il dof reason and goodwill, a function in which schools have a great paid to perform. “It is sinister that the. Chinese Republic, formerly peace, loving, is now supplied with, arnis for civil war, owing to the failure to ratify the Treaty of Saint Germains, regulating the export of arms. When we consider the powers of armament firms, the barbaric circumstances of many nations, and) the widespread interest in technical arts of destruction, we do not feel confident that better times are in .store for posterity.”
