WAR NEVER INEVITABLE
LORD BALDWIN’S CONTENTION. “There is one observation on the lips of many people at this moment: ‘You have got to fight some day, fight now.’ No greater fallacy was ever uttered,” said Lord Baldwin, speaking in the House of Lords. “War is never inevitable, and if there were a 95 per cent chance of war at some future date I would hold on to the other 5 per cent'until I died. Ahd there is one little thing—a straw —from which I have derived comfort. All the peoples of Europe have looked down into the volcano this last week, and they have begun to ask questions. I do not believe there is a country in the world, and I include Germany and Italy, where men are not asking: ‘Where are we going? What is there in the policy of our leaders which has brought us to this vision?’ When men begin to ask these questions they will never rest until thpy have had an answer.”
