LANSBURY'S WARNING
TO GREAT BRITAIN
LLOYD GEORGE JOINS IN PLEA FOR WORLD PARLEYS
GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO IMPERIL
EMPIRE'S PROSPERITY
London, Feb. 5.
A resolution expressing the profound belief in the futility of war and urging the British Government to make an immediate effort for the summoning of a new
international conference to discuss the economic factors responsible for the threat of conflict, was moved in the House of Commons to-day by Mr. George Lansbury, Labour, and former leader of the Opposition.
Mr. Lansbury, in a moving speech, declared "the danger of war is nearer to- day" than at any time in his long life. He had never known a period when arma- ments were so devilish, ho said.
"Instead of a world safe for democracy," Mr. Lansbury declared, the men who fought in the last great conflict saw everywhere the growth of dictator- ships.
Mr. Lansbury urged an entirely new conception for League of Nations action and suggested the establishment of a World Conference to determine how the world's raw materials should be used for the service of all nations,
Mr. Lloyd George, Liberal and former war-time Prime Minister of Great Britain, pleaded with the Government to accept the resolution to summon a conference, according to a Reuter Special despatch.
He said preparations for war were proceeding everywhere at furious speed. The nations all say exactly the same thing, he asserted: "If others build armaments, we must also." ZAUJALARINIZACJANSKÁ ŠTO J Mr. Lloyd, George drew attention to IERAKSTUROJUMILITATE
