WAR SCARES DEPRECAIED
FREE ADS FOR DICTATORS WELLINGTOX4' Last^Night “>So far as Britain is concerned there is no danger of war.” said Colonel K. H. Goldthorp, of Halifax w’ho arrived at Wellington by the Awatea to-day. “We are picking no quarrels with anyone,” he added. The people on this side of the world seem far more jumpy than anywhere else. In Australia they certainly talk a lot of rubbish about war. The papers seem to print anything alarming and give the dictators a lot of free advertisement. “We ought to make a rule not to mention them for ten years. It we didn’t talk about them so much they wouldn't get such grand ideas about themselves. The less we talk about war the less likely it is to come. The more we talk about it the- more likely we are to create a situation leading to danger. ’ A similar optimistic view was ex pressed by Lieut.-ColJ. O’Sullivan, of London, another arrival by the Awatea. “The international situation is safer to-day than it has been for two or'three years,” be said. “Since Mr. Chamberlain came into power the spirit, of realism seems to tv gaining ground instead of rather dangerous idealism.”
