INTERNATIONAL PEACE
Sir, —In most dictatorship militant countries the people have no voice or representation, the women are kept in the background and urged, coerced or bribed to have more children. If the money spent on armaments and war were spent on peace and comforts in those countries there would be little or no dissatisfaction. You cannot control gangsters by giving in to them. Nations who will not discuss their grievances and who broke away from the League and are everlastingly seeking war. will everlastingly have grievances. Now let us look what these grievances really are. Mussolini has promised the Italians a second Roman Empire. Hitler has promised Germans "That when he has completed hj» world theory, Germans will have freedom and culture and all other 'races' will serve them." .Japan, having got away with Manchuria, now requires China, and the rest of the Pacific. The president of the World Peace League, a firm supporter of military dictatorship countries, denounces anyone who suggests forcibly defending "pacifism and asks for League sanctions to be applied to "peace-loving democracies" if possible to remedy genuine grievances. Methinks Mr. R. E. Bayertz intends somehow to see another war. G. Dvso.v.
