SANCTIONS.
POLICY OF THE LEAGUE. '•NEVER PROPERLY APPLIED." (By TclcKMph.—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N., Friday. The statement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Neville Chamberlain, that sanctions had failed, find that the policy of the League of Nations should bo modified in future, was commented upon bv Professor F. L. W. Wood, professor of history nt. Victoria University College and Dominion president of the League of Nations Union, when speaking at Palmcrstori North to-night. "In my opinion the statement is deplorable," said Professor Wood, "not so much because of the practical policy affected, as because of the reason he guve. If Mr. Chamberlain was correctly reported, he said the policy of sanctions had failed, and therefore should be abandoned. "The point to inv mind is that the policy of sanctions has not boon tried, and therefore cannot be said to hnve failed. Sanctions have been extraordinarily effective as far as they could possibly go, but for various reasons they never have boon applied in the sense they were intended to be applied. Consequently it is wholly false reasoning to say sanctions have been tried and failed."
