EX-ENEMIES CONFER
X PRACTICAL HANDSHAKE. GREATER THAN LOCARNO. lAN HAMILTON’S COMPARISON. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) (Australian Press Association —United Service.) Received 12.25 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Oct. 7. Sir lan Hamilton told the British Legionaries how a fine piece of work was carried out by ex-enemy and allied ex-servicemen at Luxemburg, where they met under the presidency of an ex-enemy general and passed a resolution against ex-service publications employing • insulting terms towards exenemies. He said: “This is not a double sliulfl© by diplomatists. Compare this practical handshake with Locarno, which is endeavouring to- attain peace by agreement and to fight whenever war breaks out. The spirit of Locarno was founded on a recognition that war is evaporating. The Luxemburg spirit will pour out refreshment to mankind more and more abundantly. Propanganda factories cannot wash out Luxemburg. Six years ago the metropolitan council asked me to resign the presidency because I advocated such an entertainment, but I still hang on.”
