BRITISH COMMENTS
PRESS RESERVING JUDGMENT.
(Received February 17, 9 a.m.)
LONDON, 15th February
Though the earliest comment on the League of Nations is generally optimistic., the Press is still overwhelmed by the magnitude and strangeness of the experiment, and is postponing definite judgment on various points. The Times refers approvingly to the bicameral plan as an' attempt to solve the difficulty arising out of the technical equality of big and little nations, but prophesies that disputes between the Lower House and the Executive will largely mark the history of the League. The Westminster Gazette says the scheme k clear, boldly outlined, and ingenious. It awaits a great world debate in which the best brains of all • countries should assist the Conference." The Standard adheres to the view that the mandatories will prove a disruptive influence, especially when an embittered Germany is admitted to the League. Treaty safeguards accompanying the full possession of the colonies would be far preferable.
