Germany Must Be Rendered Harmless After War
THE NECESSITY of “organised force and sufficient force in the right hands to prevent a repetition of what we went through in 1914- 1918 and of what we are going through now,' was stressed by the Minister of Economic Warfare, Mr. Hugh Dalton, in a speech at a National Council of Labour demonstration' yesterday.
"The Germans and their associates," said Mr. Dalton, "must be deprived of wea-' pons and of the power to quench the hope of peaceful, happy and industrial lives in all their neighbours, as they have twice quench- of it in our generation."
He added that aggressor people. must not be deprived of work and their own hopes to wages up of live "praceable, happy und indus-
thous lives."
