GENEVA PROTOCOL.
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
BRITISH EMPIRE. BY CABLE PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Feb, 13. Air. J. L. Garvin, in a long article in the Observer analysing the Geneva protocol, declares: “Nothin on earth, will induce any self-governing community in the English-speaking world to plunge blindly into immeasurablebottomless engagements. The British Empire must be accepted as a unit. It must not be regarded as an affair in liquidation with the League as the official receiver. Until the League, including Russia and Germany, is complete in Europe, until there is a clear understanding with America, until the real problem of the world’s peace, namely revision, is honestly faced by strengthening article nineteen of the covenant, there can lie no general protocol “There can be no real disarmament unless there is reconciliation. Pending this wo must limit our engagement to vital obligations, such as the inviolability of Belgium and the integrity of the French frontier. After that we must work steadily for some new covenant saner than the protocol.”
