“LET THEM MEDITATE”
POLITICIANS AND WAR MR LYONS’S SUGGESTION VICTORIA, July 18. (Received July 19, at 10.30 p.m.) “If war comes it will have been caused by politicians, not by the people,” said Mr Lyons to-day before leaving en route to San Francisco. “I am sure war thoughts ‘do not spring from the hearts of the people in any country. We should take all the Government heads once a year to the battlefields in France and let them meditate. While you in Canada have not completed the great war memorial, and neither have we, it is unbelievable that countries would wish to go to war.” He urged closer friendship and a more equitable scale of trade relations between Canada and Australia. He believed better Pacific relations would bring more stable world confidence. .
