A PEACE ENVOY.
Mr Norman Angell, the author of "The Great Illusion," was invited recently on behalf of the Peace Society, to visit Australia. In a reply received last week, Mr Angell said that he was afraid that a visit to Australia was out of the question. "The situation in Europe," he wrote, "has been very acute, and thero is an immense deal of work to be done in England, Germany and France, which has kept and is keeping me appallingly busy. To take six months -away from this would l>e to slop all sorts of currents which it would take an indefinite time later to re-start." • Mr Angell added that he thought it would be possible for one of the men associated with him in his work, familiar with the conscription, and other international problems, as well as with the thesis of "The Great Illusion," to pay i\ visit. The man he had in mind would, be familiar with the organisations that had been started and were now working in England, Germany and France, among the schools and' colleges, and ho might be able to suggest a s imilar movement in Australia.
