English Political Factions
Are United in Rearmament
Agreement, Ratcliffe Says
For the first time in the history of Great Britain, members of Par
liament and most political factions in the empire now agree on rearma
ment, S. K. Ratcliffe, British journalist etnd lecturer, said at an assem
bly held yesterday morning at 11 o’clock in Gerlingeu hall.
This new government policy has been made necessary, to a large
extent, by the blindness of conservative imperialists in past years who
have been unable to look ahead, he said. Anthony Eden did not always
work hand in hand with the prime
minister and other British diplo
mats. His attempt to rally “free
nations” against the advancing
tide of fascism, and his belief in
the League of Nations, even after
his colleagues had lost faith in it,
did much to undermine cooperative
planning.
Two of the strongest Englishmen
against the reversal policy are
George Landsbury, and Aldous
Husley, both pacifists, Mr. Rat
cliffe said. Most of the people in
Great Britain, if asked, would
agree with the two in their belief
that strong armaments will lead
to peace. 4
Airs League Views
“We must recognize that the
League of Nations is not an instru
ment for maintaining peace,” Mr.
Ratcliffe said. Most of the world’s
hopes for peace from that organi
zation are gone, he said.
There is a dual parallel in the
“peace minds” of the people -of
France and Great Britain, and the
British like the French in spite
of their military alliance with
Soviet Russia, he revealed.
Looks Black
Although the present situation in
Europe looks blacker than he has
ever seen it, Great Britain will not
go down under the strain, he said.
Mr. Ratcliffe was introduced by
Eric W. Allen, dean of the school
of journalism.
