BRITISH PEACE AIMS
OVERTHROWING GANGSTERDOM. Answering a question from America as to British peace aims, Mr Duff Cooper said:—“l always think that to ask Great Britain what her peace aims are is rather like asking a man who has been attacked by two murderous gangsters in a dark street what he is fighting about. We didn’t want this war. We did all we could to avoid it We came into it in order to restore the rule of law in Europe and to overthrow the rule of gangsterdom and violence. When the war is over we hope to build a better world out of the ruins, just as we hope to replace the ruins of London by better and more beautiful buildings. We are working on the blueprints already. But it is no good making very definite plans until we know how much is going to be left for us to build with and who is going to help, us.”
