SCHEME TO AID VICTIMS OF
AGGRESSION
PROPOSED FINANCIAL HELP BY LEAGUE STATES.
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY
March 10
The League Council adopted the report of the financial committee, the main item in which was a detailed scheme for providing financial assistance to States which are victims ol aggression. The draft of the scheme is based on the idea of guaranteeing to States the possibility of securing effective financial help in case of war, or threat of war. The effect of this would be to cause any would-be aggressor to hesitate in the knowledge that its intended victim might receive the financial assistance of League members. The scheme was- warmly supported bv Sir Austen Chamberlain and M. Briand, the former recalling that the British Government had been the first to accept the principle of financial assistance when the. Finnish Government first, put fhnvard such a proposal. The plan is being submitted to all governments, and will come up before the next Assembly meeting.
