At this time when the important task of a Western front is about to be launched these men were looking be- yond the present and were conferring on plans that would come into being after the war. That these discussions were carried on in harmony, even if all parties were not in complete agree- ment on certain matters, speaks well for the future. Following the con- ferences a joint statement was issued in London, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, That post war security was thoroughly discus- sed is evidenced by the declaration covering this point as follows: "We affirm that after the war a world organization to maintain peace and security should be set up and endowed with the necessary power and author- ity to prevent aggression and vio- lence". Its is to 'be hoped that this plan will be fully carried out, * * * * TRULY A GREAT SERVICE.
