Maciver, ofOswaldtwlstle, In the; course of an address on Monday evening; given at a publltf meeting arranged by the Clltheroe branch of the League of Nations Union and held In the Congrega-| tlonal Sunday School. Mr. Maclvor claimed that collective security was the only way to permanent peace, asserting! that ; It 'provided common ground oh which different schools of thought could meet) The Vicar of Pendleton (Rev. C.: M. Rogerson) presided.

said i the League of Nations had been; befote the public for nineteen years, be-;


ing a new attempt on the part of states-; men!of the world to Impose on nations a sense of fair play and mutual under­ standing. That this had been wanting in the world’s history was too obvious for comment.


' . .


War had'been described as the anger of. a nation Ih face of problems It conld not solve.


, the nations should meet one another on a, mental plane. That was the way to peace without war. The League of Nations was not In the nature of an executor but of a prophet, whose job was of wltal importance. If not always popular. In this country, a prophet If he were sincere and earnest, got a fair hearing. We were justly proud of _ our privileges, and so long as we retained freedom of speech we would be able to lead the world Into those avenues of thought In which mutual problems could be discussed and solved.


There were many monuments in this and other lands testifying to the fact that men: had resorted to violence as a solu­ tions of their problems. The League of Nations Union existed to keep the Ideals of the League steadfastly before, the people of this and other Christian lands. The oldest and the latest war memorials —those commemorating the siege of Troy and the Great War—called on them w keep continually'before the statesmen Of Europe and their followers the Ideal that

for fl,v.e_.days NOT A FIASCO.


In spite of the Abyssinian debacle, he refused to comply vdth the popular view —Ih some quarters, at any rate—that the League of Nations was a fiasco, and that the Union should be scrapped. He still believed that the League of Nations was the only possible solution talntemattonal problems. To-day, one school; of thought was saying that this country must have arms to defend itself against other nations who were piling up arma­ ments. ’ If they' armed,- their sense of lair play must allow other nations to arm as well, thus piling up debts which w x grandchildren would have to pay. ; He i wondered if they had ever considered tjie

arms, and more arms. If they took inen from the land and put them Into the munition factories, there would come a time when there would be a shortage of men, to produce the necessities of me and the things the country depended upon for its existence. Thus, taken to its Joglcal conclusion, they would find they were killing themselves to, save themselves. He suggested'that If the annaments race was continued, ships which normally carried food would be converted Into battleships, and the PooPl® would eventually have to go short of the essentials of life because of the concen­ tration on war material to safeguard

On top of all this, England would not be able to trade with Germany as she would have no irioney, and again the 'German workpeople would suffer ’] Mr. Maciver submitted that pacificism was a practical way of stopping war. He '■ was often asked, what would he do. If an

Before he Joined tne ministry, he was A marine engineer on the Clyde, and he knew of toe unemploy­ ment caused as a result. Nattrally Bmam did not need to build' as, many shhlp.s, and the result wa^ that mariy of h e r ^ people had to go Workiess; ; But In Gcr-. many It was sooiT-necessary to buua more ships, and German workpeople were kept busy. The last war cost nine hun­ dred million pounds, and this country suffered a death roll of 700,000. Nations did not go to war unless they thougnt they would gain by It.

His answer to that’ was simply that he would sock the man on the jaw and he, would do the same vrith any other man, whether he, were British, German, or of any other nation­ ality. In'dolng so he would be taking the law into, his own hands. But If the police appeared on the scene, the matter would be taken but of his hands. It •.was just the! same with International affairs, with International police safe­ guarding the peace of the world. Some people objected to pacificism on the grounds of the many things we would lose If there was another war.

was also selfish. It was right for people In this country to refuse to fight at any cost, but what about the people of other lands who had been brought up to be­ lieve'that the nation mattered most— that there came a time when human life had to be sacrificed lor the good of the country? Our pacifism would not save the war-minded, and on that account he thought that If world peace were to be secured there would have to be some com­ mon ground on which the person who believed in 'self-defence and the person who believed in pacifism could meet. The only way to obtain a real and last­ ing peace was In collective security. Although collective security had received a set-back during the last year or two, that was the fault of thd people. If we In this land had, with unanimous voice; told our Government that we, refused to fight, he felt sure that Mr. Duff Cooper and , the rest of the ministers would have been very keen to establish ■ a central government to ■ keep the ■


world. I f collective security were adopted, then regional pacts could be made, but only by sanction of an Inter­ national body. One difference between the old method of pacts between nations and that suggested under a scheme of collective security, would be that under the new scheme nations would have finished their work once they had stopped an aggressive nation; they would not be allowed to invade the country of the: aggressor. In addition International pacto could be made where­ by' nations In close proximity to an aggressive nation would refuse to supply that nation with war material and money. Some people , might ask If it would ever be possible to get countries like Germany and Italy Into such a scheme. His answer was that dictator­ ships were due to bad government or desperation.


peace of the


cause a country had a dictator now it would remain in the same abject state for ever.


It was not fair to' assume that be­


■'n the same way that Scotland and Eng- and lived peacefully together and In the


case of the Federal States of America, the nations of the world could live In peace and: harmony. It was because the people In this country wanted peace ana were not prepared to sacrifice for It that the League of Nations was said to be a failure. Only 80 out of 10,000 people In Lancashire were members of the League of Nations Unlon^and naturally no Government would give much heed to their i opinions, ■ The League a Nations was not finished. On the con. trary, it was'the only possible solution at the moment on the International horizon. The world needed a strong central authority to control Its a l^ s , Collective security was practicable. They must endeavour to get the governments of the world to make sacrifices In-order to secure a lasting peace by such means. Following his address, Mr. Maciver
