"THE WAY Tp WORLD PEACE."
NATIONS AND . THE PACT.
LONDON, Jan.' 25
" This once-sinful world ; sometimes looks like a grove of. olive brandies, but bayonets still gleam in it," writes H. G. Wells, in a new book, " The Way to World Peace," which will shortly ba published.
Italy, he says, signed the Briand-Kel-logg Pact, but she has just launched her most efficient battleship; France signed it, but she still imposes military service; Britain signed it, but nobody has informed the Air Service of it.
In America the prospects of an intelligent youngster are better in the Gas Warfaro Department than at school teaching or medicine; the Germans have produced a perfect gem of a battleship. ■Mr! Wells protests against the Utopianism current about peace, which is impossible without the creation of an overriding authority.
