Promotion of Peace Discussed by Parliament in Canada
Miss Agnes MacPhail urged creation of a department of international peace with a minister in charge and scholarships to study peace. Prime Minister Mackenzie King supported goodwill but opposed a separate department, saying promotion of peace is a national attitude, not a single department matter. Canada is tied to the League of Nations and pursuing better international understanding.
