UNSTABLE WORLD
MR LYONS SPEAKS ON WAR. SUGGESTION FOR POLITICIANS. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 8.35 p.m.) Victoria (8.C.), July 18. “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 a Great War memorial, neither have we. It is unbelievable that countries would wish to go to war.”
Mr Lyons urged closer friendship and a more equitable scale of trade relations between Canada and Australia. He believed that better Pacific relations would bring about a more stable world.
