CHALLENGE TO CIVILISED ORDER.
MIGHT VERSUS RIGJVT. Received March 21. 1.35 p.m. LONDON, March 20. Speaking in the House oi Lords, Lord Snell said that the events in Czechoslovakia had not surprised the Labour members. It. appeared that Herr Hitler deliberately exploited the confidence of too simple statesmen to humiliate Mr Chamberlain in the eyes of the world. There was never the least chance of converting the dmtators into good Europeans. The Marquis of Crewe urged Britain to join in every possible way to any possible extent the countries feeling that an outrage had been committed. the like of which could not be repeated. The Archbishop of Canterbury saul that Germany's action was the undisguised and unashamed assertion that might was right. It was a challenge to the basis of civilised order among the nations. The only answer must be given in terms which the German rulers understand. There must be the massing of might on the side ol right.
