MR. BALDWIN ON PEACE
London, Oct. 31. Of all the currents of British policy over the past half century. none has run more truly or more steadily than friendship for Italy. said the Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, in a speech at a meeting of the Peace Society in London to-day.
Dealing with the suggested policy of isolation, he said "I am told that the brolla of other nations are not ours. Does anyone think war be- tween great nations can be per- mitted without someone to pull them up when they go over the trade profitably and happily with touchline, and meanwhile we can both belligerenta alike in prosper ous neutrality Modern war be tween any of the great Powers is like the one of nature in the early geological ages."
Of co-operative effort for ponce, he said, they meant nothing by the League if they were not prepared in the end, after grave and care- ful trial, to take action to enforce its Judgement. Despite defections, CLYNES PREDICTS Athe League lived.-British Wireless, FIGHT WITH LORDS
