Anti-War Pact. (CanadTaTPress)

LONDON, July 17.-A speech by Blr William Joynson-Hicks, Home Secretary, at Eversham. Worcester- shire, over the week end has arous- ed a great deal of comment. He said “We desire to appeal to the great United States, when our signature is placed alongside that of other nations and say to them: "We are signing the pact at your request, yet we. understand you are increasing your navy. I think we are entitled to comment quite res- pectfully and in‘ quite a friendly way and say to America and the whole world. that deeds speak stronger than words." These remarks, in the course of references to the United States proposal for an anti-war pact. aroused the Daily News today to say editorially:

"lt is surely time that this ap- palling politician was muzzled by a special act oi parliament. Quite apart from the fact of which the Home Secretary appears charac- teristically ignorant, that nearly two months ago after knockong great chunks off her nautical pro- gramme. America postponed it al- together to give peace a chance.

we cannot imagine any public utterance of a British minister bet- ter calculated to arouse the angry hostilities of the whole _American nation.”
