(1) That the anti-German combination was successful in the field of battle in 1918, when Japan, Italy, and the United States of America were parties to it; yet the military victory of 1918 has not eliminated the German problem in 1936.

(2) That no British Government could make a commitment about Central or Eastern Europe and survive the storm of public disapproval that would thereby be aroused.
