INTERNATIONAL PEACE
Sir, —Dictatorship nations who are barking about equality and security should begin at home. At present they havo their people in bondage. Mr. R. E. Baeyertz must have his knife into the British. First lie upholds Britain 111 lending money to dictatorship nations for war purposes, but adds: "Then the League might take up this matter, nnd consider imposing sanctions against Britain, after the necessary machinery is set in motion." Ahem! Ho admits that war settles nothing, therefore, if an earnest pacifist, he should start at the root of the trouble, which is to prevent buying, selling, or making armaments; but no, ho asserts that the warring nations are not naughty boys and must be assisted. What right has ho as a pacifist to talk about handing over democratic countries to the mercy of these dictators, and what about the people in those free countries having such military systems thrust upon them? Have these people no right to security? G.D.
