"COOLING OFF."
Although there are complaints from Paris that the negotiations in London are secretive and sloav, it is good that they should be so J The League's procedure for dealing with international disputes purposely allows for a "cooling-off" period, during which passions may ~ subside and opportunity be given for appreciating calmly the nature of the real issues at stake. It is now announced that Germany has accepted the invitation to join the discussions, and her representatives will t!ake their place at the conference table to-morrow. Germany made it a condition of acceptance that Hen* Hitler's proposals for a new system of European security pacts should be discussed, and to this condition, apparently, the other Powers have agreed. The London discussion, therefore, may develop into the most important European conference since Versailles, and there is now a hope—upon which it would be unwise yet to build expectations —that good instead of evil will come from Herr.Hitler's precipitate action in the Rhineland. The difficulties, however, remain extremely great, and the greatest of them is the mistrust of Germany's good faith engendered by her violation of treaties in the past.
