AVOIDANCE OF WAR

Kennedy, United States Ambassador to Britain, referred briefly to the international situation. He said some nations in the world were involved in disputes both internal and external. The rest were anxiously watching, and doing what little they could to counsel patience and forbearance, and above all, avoidance of war. "For that is a principle on which we can all agree," said Mr. Kennedy. "We do not want war to break out, not only because of its immediate effect on ourselves but because of the devastation it will leave in its wake, visited on millions of innocent, unoffending people. We owe it to the great mass of the people in our countries, and in other countries, and to our children and to theirs, to leave no avenue unexplored in our efforts to prevent war. "Certainly the peoples of the world do not want to fight each other. Their leaders say that they themselves do not want war unless they are forced into it. In such circumstances it ought not to be beyond the reach of human intelligence to prevent the disaster that everyone seems to fear. [ believe it can bo done by faith, by spiritual courage, by loyalty to right dealing and by the exercise of conimonsensc."
