Forster argues peace as duty in war time debate
The right hon. Mr. Forster warns against partisan war talk and urges England to seek peace while fulfilling its duties. He defends limited intervention, favors neutrality obligations for Belgium, and condemns threats or conquest while endorsing moral force over vengeance. He defends Cardwell era reforms and Education Act progress amid looming next session bills.
