- OOTLOOK IS WAR SHAW DECLARES Notod Britisher Cites Italy a5 His Example (Copyright, 1928, in All Countries By United Press, All Rights Reserved.) Loadon, Oct. 30 (UP)—"If they | disarm they can still fight with their table knives and rabbit guns, or their teeth and claws,” said a tall, blye-eyed white haired old man with a Shavian beard in reply to the| question: Do you think that th nations of the world will ever agrea to disarm?" It was during a conversation be- tween George Bernard Shaw, popu- larly knowns as “G. B. 8", and the; » United Press corresponlent to whom he had granted an exclusive inter- view, It took place at the great so- cialist's satirist’s apartment in ‘Whitehall Court, a superb block of buildings from the windows of which the British war office is visi- ble, scarcely »ne hundred (feet distant, “Why am I never interviewed on serious questions?” Shaw had asked in a witty statement recently pub- lished. “What about the effect of social- ism in peace, war and disarm- ament?* was the immediate query | of the United Press, to which the great writer replied: “All right then, put your questions and I will do my | best to answer them.” Challenge Accepted ‘The Shavian challenge was ac- cepted with the following result: “Do you believe,” he was asked, *that pacts like the Kellogg pact are of any use in the prevention of fu- ture wars? “Are you satistied that the United | States is anxious to foster peace and sood-will among nations? Do you believe that her efforts, past and ! present, will have any serious effect | upon the outlook of peace’” “The United States,” Shaw re. plied, “proved in 1917 that it was more frantically bellicose than any | of the Euroupean combatant. It sent | girls to prison for elghteen vears ror} deprecating war, and arrested men for quoting the constitution.

He an awered: | “Yes, of course. At worst Ger. many and Austria would have had 2| square fight with Russia, leaving hes | ‘weatern frontiers undefended against 8 friendly France, England and | America. Even as it was, if the Kaiser had been properly brought up as a socialist he would have known that he could have done this with perfect safety, as none of his (PATRICI FIRE LTCH ) Conn.

Has the movement progress- ed to such an extent that it might be expected to prevent another out- break of the last war's magnitude? Is it strong enough to prevemt any future wars of importance?' The reply was: “Soctalism is not pacifism. It makes for peace inasmuch as every socialist knows that the killing of a German soldier 1s as great a loss to France as to Germany, and con- ver + In short, the slaughter of {men who are not criminals is & loss to the world, and the nations have a common interest in the world. But capitalism, by throwing men into competition instead of co-operation, and allowing the world to be pri- vately appropriated, makes for war, not only between nations in search of additional ‘places in the sun’' to eyploit, but for war on socialism as such We have widely circulated English newspapers shricking daily for war with Russia because the Russians have adopted socialism as their constitutional principle. And as socialism will fight for its life, and, if successful, possible for the suppression of capitalism as such, we must, as M. Briand hinted at Geneva, be prepared for wars to arise out of socialism just as the “wars of religion” rose out of the reformation. Pacifists must make a frontal attack on war, and not trust to free trade or socialism or any other economic or political de. velopment to do their work for them.” “It called our peace bluff very NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1928, effectively. When we turned 1t down | been prevented if soclalist or labor under cover of refusing to speak to the wicked Russians we did not fore. see that Mr. Kellogg would pick it up again, and that we could not turn him down in view of all the meney we owe his country.” Next came the question “Do you think that anti-war plays and seri- ous anti-war literature can have any beneficlal effect upon the future peace prospects of the world?” the reply came swiftly, briefly: “That depends on whether they are good plays or bad ones.” Three other questions also re- ceived brief replies: Question: “Do you think that the nations of the world will ever agres to disarm Reply: “If they disarm they efn still tight with their table knives and rabbit guns, or their teeth and claws. Question: “Is disarmament essen- tial to the future peace of - the world?” = Superficial Remedy Reply: “Disarmament is a very superiticial remedy for war.” Question: “Is public opinien sut- ficiently strong to prevent future wars? Do you think that if there were another world war in prospect, the influence of modern womanhood could stop 1t2" Reply: “Yes, it it {s suficiently pacifist and plucky. There is ne evi- dence that women are less warlike than men.” Then Shaw was asked W last war taught public opinion: “It has,” hewaid, “taught us savages we are underneath our civilian garments. We are living in a world which has found itself out, and yet does not know in which di- rection to fleg from the wrath to come.” The Shavian reference to “sav- ages” encouraged the correspondent to ask: “Could the last war have GENUINE BARGAINS for Wednesday Thursday ond Friday 1 800 PAIRS HOSE * The same wonderful stockings that were sold out for our opening special. are plain and daintily picoted. governments had been in power in the various countries, or a majority of the countries concerned at the time?” the reply was emphatic: Fourteen typical Shavian words disposed of the reply to the follow- ing: “It Ramsay MacDonald's govern- ment had remained in power to this cday, would the Washington disarm- ament conference have succeeded ? Would the Franco-British naval pact negotiations have been opened? Would the outlook for world peace be any better than it is today? It s0, why and how?" Sald G. B. 8.: “If ifs and ans were pot and pans, there'd be no need of tinkers.” “What,” was the next question, “is the present outlook for peace? What dangers to peace do you visualize at the present time? Are Mussolini and Fascism, Primo de Rivers and the Spanish dictatorship and pos- sible ‘Balkan flareups’ included?” Outlook For War Shaw's reply was: “ltaly is doubling her taxes on bachelors and offering prodigioup rewards to large families with the’avowed purpose of working up her man power (the reality of armament) so as to be able tp hold her own in 1938. This is & fact quite independent of dic- tatorship. In the face of it, and of cognate facts elsewhere, it seems 1dle to discuss the outlook for peace. The outlook is still for war.” Picture a tall figure somewhat reminiscent of the cartoonist’s Uncle Sam but with a long white beard like a Frenchman's. A pair of small, penetrating but kindly eyes as blue as a fair-haired girl's, fix you when the bearded figure speaks. The voice is softer than his writings would make it appear likely. The accent is like a Bostonian's with the addition of a very faint trace of Irish brogue. The tone is convincing. We are sure there is nothing like them.
