“TAKE RISKS OF PEACE”
MACDONALD OUTLINES LABOUR IDEALS NOT WASTiNG TIME British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Saturday. The Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, in a speech last night outlined the twin purposes of the new Government —peace for the world and work for the unemployed. Regarding the latter, he referred to the enthusiasm with which Mr. J. H. Thomas, as the Minister trusted with the problem, was attacking the initial stages of his task. “The other big section of our work is international peace. This further X want to say—the peacemaker has to take risks as well as the warmakers. When we have accomplished our work, we are going to give you the balance of choice. There are risks of peace as there are risks of war. I am banking upon the risks of peace, and if the nation is to take any risks at all, we are going to ask it to take the risk of peace rather than the risk of war. The nation that will take the risk of peace will get peace, just as in the past the nation that took the risk of war has got war.'
