ORDERED PEACE
TO REPLACE ANARCHY. “ You have to replace the anarchy of the world by ordered peace. We say you must base that ordered peace on social justice, and recognise how much the world degenerated after the last war just because there were false foundations. We want to build this world into a world of liberty, of giving the individual in every nation the opportunity of realising to the full his or her personality. “ It is exactly there that we come up against the Fascist ideal that the individual is nothing and that the State is everything. We believe that you can. broaden and extend the principles which we adopt here. We have steadily extended that principle of free co-operation to the British Contmonwealth and throughout the British Empire. “We believe that w r e should expand further our political, personal, and economic liberties. We cannot lay down the law to the rest of the world, and we do not want to. We can only say, ‘ Here is our way of life,’ and the best way we can advocate those principles is by striving more and more to live our principles of freedom and social justice here, and set an example to the rest of the world.”—Mr Atlee, in the House of Commons.
