NEW PEACE TREATY.
PLANS FOR NEXT ELECTION. After a conference between Mr Lloyd George and representatives of the Council of Action, established recently to work for peace, it was stated that the council did not intend to form a new political party at present, according to a London report of July 1. The plan is that local councils shall interrogate all candidates in order to secure definite pledges irrespective of party, in support of peace and reconstruction. The council will support those who give such pledges. Local councils will decide whether to submit new candidates if all existing candidates in any constituency are unsatisfactory. Mr Lloyd George refused to comment on a statement that the new party is threatened with a split. Certain Free Churchmen, though they sympathise with the movement, disapprove of the proposal to submit 350 candidates, because this would stamp the movement as against the Government. . .. It is stated that 81 candidates distributed among the three major parties have expressed sympathy with tne “peace and reconstruction movement.
