Rec. 7 p.m. London, April 8. Mr. Stanley Baldwin, speaking at Llandrindod Wells, said that Britain did not desire war and did not enjoy playing at war. No Britain would take enthusiastically to wearing gas maks, a monstrous, tragic necessity born of the prostitution of science to barbarism. If war could be stopped only by letting the aggressor know it would not bq permitted, Mr. Baldwin added, Britain would play her part and see that no aggression occurred. The best way to ensure peace was through collective security. Albparts of Europe that were willing must get together inside the League of Nations and devise the means. Some nations tried the drastic medicine called dictatorship until to walk through Europe to-day was like walking through the wards of a mental hospital. The nations were not walking in the way of peace but were taking dangerous roads, possibly leading to war, “We fought to make the world safe fdr democracy,” said Mr. Baldwin, “but it is not safe for democracy. Nevertheless we have not yet lost hope for the limitation of armaments and must press this subject with Germany,, until she has told us straight that she will not have anything to do with it.”
