ADVOCATES OF PEACE
LONDON DEMONSTRATION LONDON, June 30. Mayors in their chains of office, bemedalled ex-soldiers, clergymen, members of Parliament, hatless girls in khaki shorts, mothers carrying babies, young men addressing each other as “ Comrade,” children clasping tiny flags, all marching to music, converged on Trafalgar square from many parts of London for a peace mass meeting. Olive branches were tied to flag poles, with inscribed banners advocating peace. Ten thousand people occupied the square, and the meeting passed with acclamation a motion urging the Government to stop the armaments race, abolish the military and air forces, and inaugurate international control of civil aviation.
