PEACE PROBLEMS.
BALKANS AND SYRIA. REVIEW BY PRIME MINISTER. 3Y CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Nov. 6. The Prime Minister (Mr Stanley Baldwin), in a speech at Aberdeen, referred to the value of the Locarno Treaty in securing the peace of Europe, and said that the efficacy of the League of Nation s was exemplified in the settlement of the Graeco-Bulgarian dispute. In allusion to Syria, Mr Baldwin said he observed in some quarters a demand that he should pass summary judgment on the conduct of our Allies in their mandated territories. “Our growing sensibility of wrong, wherever it is committed, is a good thing,” he said, “but censure should be tempered with remembrance of our own shortcomings and a full sense of the difficulty of the task imposed on the Great Powers by the mandatory system.” Referring to the Government’s determination to make every economy, however unpopular, the Prime Minister said it could not economise to a point which would reduce the defensive forces below what it believed was necessary for the safety of the Empire.
