MUCH IN BALANCE
League “Fighting with Wooden Sabre” HERRIOT’S APPEAL LONDON, April 81. The “News-Chronicle’s” Geneva correspondent says: “Unless there is more courage shown at the session of the League Council on May 11, yesterday’s proceedings may seriously change the development of Europe, including a swing-over in the Little Entente’s policy from France to Germany. This may already become obvious at the Little Entente’s meeting at Belgrade on May 5, “France is so frightened at losing her European predominance that she is preparing to sign the death warrant. Britain is so frightened at accepting the responsibilities of greatness that she cannot grumble if other nations believe she is no longer great.” A message from Paris states that M, Eerriot said: “The League has been fighting with a wooden sabre. Therefore it has been resoundingly defeated twice—on tho Rhine and in Abyssinia.” He urges France and Britain to end their quarrels and without delay rebuild the League.” “If the European house is not set la order, it will mean defeat of the spirit of liberty and peace and the triumph of violence and defiance,” he said.
