London, Oct. 21.
Viscount, Cecil of Chelwood, who resigned from the Government August owing to dissatisfaction with] the British policy as regards dis-Jarmament, opened his campaign of [educating public opinion on the ideals lof the League of Nations to-day at} [Caxton Hall.
In the course of an address largely] concerned with attacking the argument that the British Empire could afford to regard European troubles and dangers with detachment, Viscount Cecil instanced the obscure origins of past disputes which had} ultimately involved Great Britain in} war, and pointed out that fourteen shillings out of every pound of taxation was due to past wars or to preparation for new wars. He Jasserted that Britain hitherto had held back from the movement among! European nations in favour of ar-Ditration, though she was generally ready to accept arbitration after [dispute had arisen—Reuter.
