Peace Union's Stand A deputation from the Peace Pledge

Union, headed by Mr. George Lansbury, called at No. 10 Downing Street and at the Foreign Office, yesterday afternoon, to leave copies of a mal festo re-affirming the pacifist faith that nothing can justify a resort to war.

The manifesto also appealed for the concentration of the nation's efforts during any respite which might be given upon securing world peace.

An appeal was made in the manifesto for the summoning of a conference with the object of revising the existing treaty and economic relations on the basis of justice towards which not one but all governments should be called to make their contribution.
