PREVENTION OF WAR.
LABOUR'S FAITH IN LEAGUE.
STRIKE PLAN INEFFECTUAL.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Rood. 4.5 p.m.) AMSTERDAM. Dec. 11.
Mr. Arthur Henderson, addressing the International Trades Union Peace Con* ference at The Hague, said that peace was most vital to all workers. There were no non-combatants in modern warfareWomen and children were exposed to \:ho same risks of death, and mutilation as actual fighters. The International Federation of Trades Unions aimed at proclaiming an international strike in the event of war, but the cause of peace would be already lost if .this became necessary. Labour believed that peace could be secured only by encouraging every nation to seek guarantees for its security within tho League of Nations, which should act in tho direction of progressive disarmament. They must demand the inclusion and full recognition of Russia, also a change in the methods of teaching history which now glorified military achievements and ignored more vital aspects of democratic growth.
