MAKERS OF PEACE
PUNISHMENT, THEIR AIM. SIR lAN HAMILTON’S VIEWS. Press Association—By Tolosio-ph— Copyright LONDON, October 1. Sir lan Hamilton, speaking at a war memorial unveiling at Cambulslan (Lanarkshire), said that peace was the last thing which the makers of the Treaties of Versailles and Sevres thought about. They aimed at punishment. “When you seek cash payments for the blood of these you lest,” says Sir lan, “the money turns into scraps of dirty paper stamped with mocking promises. Had we truly aimed at peace, we might have inflicted a mortal wound on war. Wo must see the present crisis through as one man. and then remove the troop? from the Rhine. The Fleet is well able to take charge of our interests in Germany. Next, we must make a real League of Nations, and ask the League as a first task to flood the powder magazine by revising the Treaty of Versailles.” —A. and N.Z. Cable.
