BRITAIN AND THE LEAGUE.
EMPIRE UNITY ESSENTIAL. BY CABLE-PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, Jan. 29. Cabinet- Ministers, the corps iliplomatique and a thousand distinguished persons attended a League of Nations Union reception given by Viscountess Grey. Mr. Baldwin said lie felt there had been risk in the delegates to Geneva agreeing to a. proposition which, when examined at home, foiled perhaps to get instant recognition in the eyes of the Government, or, what was equally important, in the eyes of the Dominions. “Without the Dominions we could not play our part,” said Mr. Baldwin. He hoped it might be possible for subjects to be discussed fully beforehand, so that they could go to Geneva clear as to the extent to- which agreement was possi bLe, al so ca vvy ill with them the Dominions and India. When what was sanctioned by the British Government differed from what was done in Geneva they got doubts creeping in men’s minds regarding the good faith of the British Empire. That good faith was our most precious asset, and only its maintenance inviolate would enable us to- pull our weight in Europe.
