Hundreds of people crowded Gower Street, London, while a white-clad little girl, symbolising the hopes ot the future, was "loaded” into the van for transmission to Geneva from the London headquarters of the Women s International League for Peace and Freedom. With her went many huge brownpaper packages containing 2,4UI>,UUU men’s and women’3 signatures to a declaration in favour of disarmament. A band played, while amid the roar of the traffic and the hoots of motors, fur-coated women, many bearing banners and sandwich-boards, cheered the ceremony. . , , , Viscount Cecil said that the declaration was a great achievement, but only the first step.
