4 NEW VIEWPOINT VIOLATION OF TREATY OBLIGATIONS POWER OF LEAGUE QUESTIONED ( U.P.A. by Elec. Tel Copyright) (Received April Id, 8-15 p.m.) LONDON, April 1-3. The Daily Herald doubts whether the Stresa- statesmen fully realised the vast implications in their decision to auk the League Council to study the question of applying penalties to States which violate treaty obligations. They are seeking to supplement a system of collective security by system of collective Co’niserv'ati.sm. The Le.agqc has no power or right to take action against- a State unless it makes war, nor li s an aggrieved State such a. right. If State A breaks a treaty, and State B causes coercive measures they will themselves become aggressors.
