Brifeafo., under the present government, is negligible in the councfs of Europe. Briton -s suggestions ar4 proposals had been rejected and rtol&ing happened. Mr, Baldwin has rated on M. Poimare, and M Poincare' kivmg refused a conference, consulted Jfee Belgian Government. Britain is *ot counted; Britain is not worth •wosulting. She sends messages across f "We- suggestso and so." They say : ''We are very sorry; it te either too lai« «r too soon. We will talk to yolJ later." The Britain that spent ten thousand millions and lost 900,000 lives, v,hose sacrifice and courage saved these countries from vassalage, is ot no account.
