THE WORLD'S PEACE.
London, April 3. The Hon. Augustine Birrell, Secretary for Ireland, speaking at London, declared that the German Chancellor’s very remarkable speech was couched in an ironical vein. While it was a little beneath the grandeur of its theme, yet it contained passages of hope. Great Britain and America were seeking to make peace a perpetual obligation. The proposed treaty did not involve disarmament, but pointed in that direction. Mr Birrell added: “Let Britishers strive for the time when the thought of killing a German will be as horrible as killing an American.” Mr Philip Snowden, Labour M.P., speaking at Bloomsbury Central Mission, said that since 1800 Great Britain had spent in war, aud nearly ,£100,000,000 during the present year, representing forty - four shillings weekly for every working family. It was untrue, he added, that trade follows the flag—it follows the price list.
