TREATY REVISION.
ADJUSTING BOUNDARIES. POSSIBLE EUROPEAN WAR. "The Treaty of Versailles brought a measure of peace to Europe, reeling and tottering under the effect of four years of war, said Professor R. M. Algie at the Auckland University College in the course of a lecture 011 treaty revision and its effect 011 a possible European war. But while Europe in general was passing into a period of calm convalescence, Poland was bcifig left to fight out a war upon the results of which perhaps the very state of European civilisation depended." The profesfeor said that there were fontways of adjusting boundaries. The method of force of arms or of a stronger power dictating to a weaker one was unthinkable, the League of Nations was more or less powerless at the moment. There was left the method of mutual agreement, which was the fair and proper one. v In tracing the history of Europe, Professor Algie referred specially to those countries that had been in the melting pot after the war. Bohemia and Poland had an indisputable claim to independence, especially Poland, who had suffered greatly in the war.
