THE WORLD OUTLOOK

PACIFIST LIFE SERVICE

BUT ARMED TO THE TEETH

COMMENT BY DEAN INGE

[By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.J LONDON, Nov. 13.

Dean Inge, in an article in the Evening Standard on “The World Outlook Twelve Years after the Armistice,’ 1 says: ‘‘Though the nations are in the midst of lip-service to pacificism, they arc still armed to the teeth. They distrust each other as much as ever.”

Dean Inge docs not see the danger of another world war in our lifetime. “Three nations—Britain, Germany and Austria—regard war as an unmitigated and ghastly calamity. There are other nations, however, which do not regard war with the same horror, because they emerged rather stronger than before. They are America, France and Italy.” Nevertheless, Dean Inge docs not believe that America will make war with any European country. “France is the most dangerous. She is not only the most civilised and intelligent in Europe, but the most logically hard and selfish of all the nations. Italy probably looks more dangerous than sh<! is.”
