War Possibilities
I MR. CHURCHILL’S WARNING iTHE DANGER OF EQUALITY ! |p.> Telegraph—Pl-ess Association-Copyright. LONDON, Nov. 24. i Mr. Winston Churchill’s warning to the House of Commons that disarmaments was proceeding along wrong lines and only resuscitating the wai mentality is described as one of the most brilliant, comprehensive an I constructive speeches delivered. He emphasised that though armc ’ to the teeth France was pacifist t» the core. "I would rather see another 10 to 20 years of one-sided armed peace than war between equally well-matched Pow ers. War mentality is arising in certain. countries. There is hardly a factory in Europe that is not prepared lor war, but wisdom and skill may avoid war in our time. 1 base my confidence (1) in the strength of the French army; (2) in the Russian preoccupation in the Far East owing to the enormous increase in Japanese armaments; (3) the general detestation of war in all countlies not dissatisfied with Versailles. "It would be safer to reopen questions like the Danzig ‘corridor’ and Transylvania than wait until vast combinations, equally matched, con front, each other.”
