ROUND-TABLE CONFERENCE FOR PEACE
PRIME MINISTER STILL OF SAME OPINION
By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night
Although no results have followed on his suggestion months ago that a worid conference of nations should be called to consider the removal of the causes of war, the Prime Minister v Mr - Savage) is still of the opinion that a round table 'talk is the only hope for civilisation. A solution to the world’s difficulties could not come in any other way, he said to-night in an interview. ‘ ‘ It cannot come as a result of war, but from a conierence.
“If the people have their way—and 1 want to emphasise it again the conference should be held before war begins rather than after it ends. If they are not in the temper to deal readily before war, they are not likely to be in a better mood afterwards. Nations may be smashed temporarily and rise again, and we go on in this stupid and apparently endless way.”
