The Garton Foundation was founded in 1913 by Norman Angell with the support of Sir Richard Garton, an industrialist, and Joseph Rowntree, to keep Britain out of a European war. Angell also founded the pacifist journal War and Peace that year, and later formed the Neutrality League. David Starr Jordan, President of Stanford, was quoted as saying in 1913, 'the Great War in Europe, that eternal threat, would never come.' In 1920 Angell joined the Labour Party.
