§ 51. Mr. ELLIS SMITHasked the Prime Minister whether he will prepare a constructive peace policy, including a permanent peace conference with political and economic sections, which shall be submitted to the next meeting of the League of Nations; and will he attend at Geneva in order to put forward these proposals and give a lead to the world in order to stop the drift towards war?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am afraid that I cannot add to the replies which I gave to a somewhat similar question and supplementary question asked by the hon. Member for Seaham (Mr. Shinwell) last Thursday.
§ Mr. SMITHIs the Prime Minister aware of the growing feeling in the country that it is time this Government took the initiative with a view to bringing about a settlement?
§ Mr. WISEMay I ask whether we are to read into the phrase "a permanent peace conference" the idea that this conference should sit for ever without coming to a decision?
