LONDON, Sept 7.-Coincidentally
with the announcement that Premier
Lloyd George was to deliver an i'm
portant speech on the war aims of the
allies at Birkenhead today, promin-
ence is given by the newspapers to a
statement by Sir Edward Carson to
correspondent, in which Sir Edward
declares: There is a great deal OF
very loose and mischievous talk about
peace. Some people seem to imagine
we have only to conclude treaty with
Germany and all will be well. But
should like to ask what is to happen
then? Are the nations Of the world
to proceed with preparations for the
next contiict-to pursue their re
searches In science to the expansion
and creation Of still more deadly
weapons Of warfare-to spend their
resources in the creation of enormous
cohorts of airplanes and submarines
for the destruction OF unfortitied
towns and the murder of the innocent
women and children that inhabit
them: to take advantage OF the eX-
periences gained In this war in the
improvement Of lethal and poisonous
gases for the destruction OF humanity?
Are we to live in daily terror that at
any moment another conflict may
arise which might almost lead to the
extinction of civilization itself?
THE truth is, treaty OF peace does
not necessarily secure peace in the
only sense wherein 1t can be OF any
real use to progress and humanity. We
talk platitudes about league OF ma
tons to enforce peace without con-
sidering conditions essential to its
success. But there was a league OF
nations to protect Belgium-there
were solemn treaties and conventions
at The Hague to apply the principles
of humanity as far as possible In war
and give effect to international law.

Sir Edward then quotes the German,

paper and so forth, and adds: ~ ~.
"I have not yet seen single snx-
