On the one side there is flu* school which sees security only in tin' piling up of immense armaments and water-tight treaties of guarantee behind the whole settlement made at Paris in 15)15). to he invoked against' any State which seeks to alter the status quo. On the other side there is the school which is convinced that the only real road to peace is accept Ihe necessary corollary to the renunciation ol war and allow the pacific machinery which has been created 1.0 deal freely with any and nil of ■Europe's problems, to abandon all alliances and to reduce all armaments to the level at which any sudden and successful attack on a neighbour becomes practically impossible and the validity of international guarantees against aggression therefore becomes eii’octive. If the first school prevails it. means a new balance of powci and alliance followed by another European war a decade or so ahead. If the second school prevails, it. means the moral unity of Europe and a fresh breath of civilisation for mankind.” Air Philip Kerr.
