PEACE IN EUROPE
Every Means Should be Taken to Preserve It MR. BALDWIN’S SPEECH tflritish Official Wireless.) (Received 13, 12.30 p.m.) RUGBY, Nov. 12. During the debate on defence in the House of Commons, Mr Winston Churchill strongly criticised the Government for delay in the progress with rearmament. The Prime Minister, Mr Stanley Baldwin, replying on the whole debate, referred to the complicated nature of Empire relations in reference to defence in the post-war period, but said that the Dominions had throughout shown anxiety about the state of world politics, and had discussed with the Government their own defences. He was convinced of two things: First, every endeavour they could use in diplomacy and foreign policy, and every other possible way, should be directed to keeping peace in Europe; and second, if peace should bo unhappily broken we should be prepared.
Those two things were not necessarily contradictory. So long as there was the .Empire both the Navy and the Air Force were required, just as one force would have to protect the heart of the Empire and the other to preserve th® communications.
