English Prime Minister De.
clares National Security
Holds First Place.

London, Aug 1.-The government
last night rendered banquet to the
delegates to the universal peace con.
gress at the Hotel Cecil. Lewis Har'
court, first commissioner Of works,
presided. The guests included Her
bert Henry Asquith, the prime minis.
ter; Lord Fitzmaurice the lord chan.
cellor; Lord and Lady Courtney, the
countess Of Aberdeen; James Bryce,
British ambassador to the United
States; William IT, Stead and other
prominent persons.
Mr. Asquith, in proposing toast
to the international peace movement
welcomed the delegates and assured
them of the British governments sym
pathy. He said he was not consoled
by the arguments that colossal arma-
ments were the surest safeguard
against war, when he was assured by
a great authority that the annual ex
penditure of civilized nations for
armaments was something near four
or five hundred million pounds sterl
ing.
I'VE must ask ourselves" the prime
minister said, whether we are bound
to acquiesce in the futile fatalism
which accepts the argument as
fact"
The prime minister was not san
guine enough to believe that The
youngest among those present would
live to witness the advent of disarm
ament. National security always mus
hold first place in the plans Of tht
government Of any country and while
communities like individuals remain

gusts Of passion, and prudent states
men must provide against the contin
gencies of war.
