SPIRIT OF LOCARNO.
EVAPORATION PROCESS. BRITISH GENERAL'S VIEWS. Australian Press Association—United Service LONDON, Oct. 7. General Sir lan Hamilton addressed a meeting of members of the British Legion at Bow. He said a fine piece of work had been done by former enemy and allied ex-service-nien at Luxemburg. They had met there under the presidency of an excnciny general and had passed a resolution opposing ex-servico publications employing insulting terms toward former enemies. This was not a double-shuffle by diplomatists. Compare this practical handshake with tlio Treaty of Locarno, which was an endeavour to attain peace by ait agreement to fight whenever war broke out. The spirit of Locarno was founded on a recognition of war and was evaporating. The Luxemburg spirit would pour out refreshment for mankind more and more abundantly. Propaganda factories could not wash out Luxemburg. Six years ago the metropolitan council of the Legion had asked him to resign the presidency because ho had advocated such entertainments, but he still hung on.
