B—6 SEES FUTURE WAR * WAGED BY PLANES Henderson Says Poison Gas Will Wipe Out Non-Com- batants From Air. By the Associated Press. LONDON, February 10.—An ominous picture of the next war, waged by air- planes equipped with poison to wipe out non-combatant populations was drawn today by Arthur Henderson, British_foreign secgeta; ry. Speaking before 3,000 persons ll‘ Queen's Hall in the first of a series of addresses intended to mold public opin- fon in preparation for the forthcoming international disarmament conference, | the labor minister pleaded for support of his government’s hope of substantial arms reductions. “The next war will not be like the last,” he declared, parably worse. A great military expert has said that in the last war we were killing by retail but next time we shall do it by wholesale. The next war, if it ever should come, will be fought by aircraft and by aircraft using poison gas. Air Against Cities. “Every year our air force carries out maneuvers over London. Have you ever thought what those maneuvers mean? They mean that our staff, like every other staff, is now expecting that the operations of the next war will be air attacks against great centers of in- dustry and civilian population. “It is useless to protest that such warfare would be an international crime. We have surely learned that it is beyond our power to humanize the conduct of modern war. Once war be- gins no man and no government can control it. The only way to stop such barbarities is to stop war itself.” Pleas for Arms Reduction. He pleaded for the powers to approach the forthcoming conference with a view to obtaining a substantial reduction in national armaments, “Friends of peace in this and other lands have a 12-month to mobilize pub- lic opinion of the world in favor of this | great opportunity which, if not taken, may never come again,” he said.
