A PEACE FORCE.
MR WICKHAM STEED'S SUGGESTION R "We are going to spend £1,500.000,000 on prepartlon for war,” sal-1 \ Mr Wickham Steed, In a recent spe'ech, j “Suppose we set aside one-tenth, or. j If that Is too much, one-hundredth of ii that vast sum for tho works of peace. I K Suppose we began by organising a ! Peace Force, to be recruited from ! fi able-bodied and able-minded men and j !! women, equipped with everything ex- \ j! oept weapons, everything from seed ! !j corn to tents and hospitals, from giant j >■ crane* and engineering apparatus to ; ' motor lorries and aircraft, ready to go j |j anywhere and give help to any people ; jl at moments of emergency or disaster. ; pi Scientists, engineers, doctors, airmen, ! || nurses, technicians, experts would be ! needed. Such a force should be sent I|j at our expense as a ‘British Peace ! Force,’ as a practical expression of ftj goodwill, Irrespective of the political j I? systems, belief, or colour of the ■ peoples that might need help. Eventu- j? ally we shall get an International fr Peace Foroe.”
