LONDON, Jan. 7. That tho re
turn of peaco mny provo even more
calamitous to industry thnn wns the
outbreak of war, was suggested by
Prof, Sydney Wobb In a lecture on
"The Terms of Penco" at tho opening
of the London School of Economics.
"Wo havo survived tho outbreak of
tho war," ho Bald, "with amazingly
tlttlo economic distress. Tho ques
tion now Is whothor, nt the coming
of peace, wo shall bo ablo to tnko
tho steps necessary to prevent tho
terms of peaco working out In misery
and distress In hundreds of thousands
of' households. If wo nro to .do so,
tho first of tho terms of peaco, from
tho economic point of vlow, must
be: No disbrndment of tho nrmy. If
men hnvo Jobs to go to or nro willing
to tako tho risk, let them go; but
thero niUBt bo nobody turned out un
til thoy nro likely to bo absorbed In
Industry."
As to terms of peace, Prof. Webb
counselled moderation. "England
wculd do well," ho urged, "not to
look for any Indemnity, for Indemni
ties havo a habit of doing thoso who
exnet them no good nt all. Dolgium,
of courso, must bo rehabilitated. Wo
should hope to make a peaco which
would lcavo tho foo without ttntluo

miliation Is a most expensive luxury
