The Dominions Secretary, Mr. J. H.

They were faced with many difficulties, and elements were abroad Europe which created the war [spirit, namely suspicion, ill-will, and mistrust, but he saw no wa rant or justification for the wa [falk now prevalent.

Dealing with the question of traffic in arms. he appreciated the anxiety felt on the subject. Britain, however, was the only country which had a licencing system for the export of arma-. ments by means of which an effective Government control could be exercised, and to his knowledge millions of pounds. worth of orders in the last three years had, in consequence of this- system, been refused. They had also refused and would continue to refuse, Government credit of any kind for the manufacture of armaments. He wished other nations would follow the exam- ple.

He would welcome an enquiry into the situation regarding the private manufacture and nation- al control of armaments, and be lieved that it would show results. of which they would have no rea- son to feel ashamed: British Wireless Service.
