THE GREATER LEAGUE
NATIONS OF BRITISH EMPIBE.
In the course of some general remarks at the annual conference of the Newspaper Proprietors' Association last evening, the Prime Minister said that many of them were disappointed at the fact, that the Peace Treaty, and especially .that part of it. referring to the, League of Nations, had become a party question in America.. . "I had hoped very great- things, from the League of Nations," said Mr. Massey, "and I think that much good may be done yet. But the cablegrams published recently indicate that there is very little prospect of the Peace Treaty being ratified in the form in which it \y-as agreed tr by Britain and her Allies on the one hand, and the Germans on the other hand." No one could tell what would happer in the future. He would like to observe, however, that although the League of Nations might not be as successful as some would wish, he hoped that no effort would be spared 1 to strengthen the other League of Nations—the League of Nations of the British Empire. He believed the day would come when humanity would look to th« League of British Nations to keep tlio peace of the world.
