FINISHED WITH WAR" Montgomery Warns That Preparedness Is More Essential Today Than Ever

Address To 400

Ex-Officers

Hobart, Tasmania, July 6. Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, Chief of Im- perial General Stail, declared here today that he did not think a new war was facing the world now, but that "I do not think we have yet finished with wars."'

at the United Services Institute here, before visiting his old home at Bishop Courts, where he lived 12 years while his father was bishop of the island.
