BRITAIN BELIEVES IN LEAGUE

PEACE BALLOT'S DISCLOSURE

BALDWIN'S RESPONSE

London, July 23, The Prime Minister, Mr. Bald win, and the Foreign Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, to-day received a deputation of organisers of the National Declaration on Peace and

Disarmament. commonly known as the Peace Ballot, in which eleven and a half million votes wero cant out of an esti- mated possible thirty million.

Tho doputation, led by Lord Cecil, presented the result of the voting on six questions submitted, which varied from majorities of thirteen to one in favour of sup- port of the League of Nations, to three

to one in favour of the employment of military sanctions. The majority for total abolition of military and naval aircraft by International agreement was four

to one.

Lord Cecil and half a million voluntary workers, by whose ser vices the ballot was taken, had found everywhere, but especially In bumble homes, an engerness to vole and a very intelligent ap- preciation of the issues,

The Dean of Chichester em- phasised the great interest the churches had taken

in the

tional declaration. It had revented a marked development of opinion. for many who started with pacifist opinions had come to see that the - full doctrine of the Covenant was vital to the preservation of petre. Miss K. D. Courtney said the ballot had appealed to women be- cause it represented a recognition of the value of the judgment and Intelligence of the ordinary citizen, and because it enlisted the sup- port of people of all parties.

WHY KNEE-ACTION.

WHEELS ?

HERE ARE THE FACTS ON CHEVROLET KNEE-ACTION

Each front wheel is independently sprung, "stepping Knee Action over" bumps with easy riding action. wheels make the back seat as restful as the front, eliminating "back seat pitch."

The Chevrolet type of Knee Action is much safer. permitting faster speeds on rough roads and preventing the car from "swaying" or "skidding."

Water, ice and stones cannot affect Chevrolet's Knee Action. Chevrolet Knee-Action permits the wheels and down, preventing "tyre move straight up scrubbing" and giving longer tyre life.
