WINNING THE PEACE
ADDRESS BY DR SCOTTER The second lecture in the series, ’’ Can We Win the Peace?” organised by the Workers’ Educational Association, was given on Wednesday night by Mr W. H. Scotter. Mr F. Butler occupied the chair. In the course of his address, Dr Scotter said that this subject had one advantage over most in an international affairs course—it dealt with individuals. He placed the problem in historical perspective by mentioning other displacements of population. All, even those regarded as beneficial, resulted in a tremendous cost in terms of human suffering and farreaching economic dislocations. An estimate of the numbers of displaced persons at the end of the war was 30,000,000, said the speaker, who outlined the problem these refugees had created, and said the solving of it was one of the greatest difficulties the Englishspeaking peoples had to face in war-torn Europe.
