No Short Cut To Peace Sn World
CHRISTCHURCH, Mon. (Sp.). “There is no machinery, no parchment, no paper, on which world peace can be founded. A peaceful world order can only safely be based on a new disposition of men’s hearts, on a new outlook widely spread and actively practised among the Nations." Sir Patrick Duff, High Commissioner for the United Kingdom in New Zealand, said this during an address to the Christchurch Businessmen's Club today. As Field Marshal Smuts observed, said Sir Patrick, of such an enduring temper for peace there was no real evidence today. World peace was not waiting just round the corner but was a long-range task calling for nothing less than a new spirit among the nations and for mighty efforts to achieve it. Such a tack, the creation of such a spirit would take time. “Peace can only rest on organic development and not artificial compromises between f conflicting ideologies. There is no short cut” he said.
