Wars – can’t people live without them?
War is an ancient institution which has existed for thousands of years. Is it possible to persuade the human people to live without war? Wars were always wicked and usually foolish, but in the past people managed to live with them. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the gravest danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we are able to abolish nuclear weapons, our work will not be over. It will never be over until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to have a different point of view as far as international questions are concerned, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in massacre, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law .It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are some people who believe that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this is a profound error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic assertions which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false.Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past years has been increased and it has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the international sphere, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it used to be some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West or between the powerful countries and the weak ones, but between Man and the H-bomb.

FORTUNE TELLER HURLS CRYSTAL BALL INTO SEA.
On Saturday afternoon Madame Daphne, the well-known Highsea fortune teller, is reported to have thrown her crystal ball into the sea after a session with an unidentified client. Mr Marcus Ravin who, with his wife , was waiting outside Madame Daphne’s booth at the end of the pier at the time, told our reporter that the incident happened about 5.30 p.m. when the pier was particularly crowded with people coming out of the Pier Pavilion, where a show had just ended. Mr Ravin , who confessed he was on his honeymoon, said he and his wife were waiting because they wanted to have their fortunes told. According to Mr Ravin, a young man with a beard and wearing dark glasses suddenly burst out of Madame Daphne’s booth, shouting ‘ Witch ! Witch !’ At least that is what Mr Ravin thought he said, and his opinion is confirmed by his wife, Lucy, who thought he also said a word that sounded like ‘ Vampire!’. Mrs Ravin said the young man looked ‘as if he’d had a bad fright’ . She told our reporter that he looked ‘as though he didn’t know which way to run’ and then he gave a little cry and seemed to disappear into the crowd. She said Madame Daphne came out a minute or so later, with a face like thunder. She was carrying her crystal ball in her hand . ‘ She never said a word,’ said Mrs Ravin , ‘not to anyone’ .She just pushed her way to the pier rail and threw the ball into the sea. It made a huge splash, and two men who were fishing on the steps below got very wet and quite upset. But Madame Daphne didn’t seem to care. She marched back into her booth without saying anything to anyone.’
When our reporter went down to Madame Daphne’s booth later in the day, he found it empty, but there was a notice on the door saying ‘ Closed until further notice’ . There was a dark red stain on the boards outside the booth that looked like blood, but was probably only wine spilt by one of the holidaymakers on the pier. Our reporter was unable to find anyone who had seen or spoken to Madame Daphne since the incident of the crystal ball.

DEAD MAN WASHED UP ON BEACH
The body of a man, believed to be in his late twenties, was found washed up on Highsea Beach at high tide this morning . A large crystal ball, such as is used by fortune tellers, was found by his side. At first he was thought to have been drowned, but later reports say that there were teeth marks in his neck that suggested he might have been attacked by a dog. The police say they have no clue to his identity or to where the fortune- teller, Madame Daphne, is, since her disappearance two weeks ago.
