FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS OF AGGRESSION
LEAGUE COUNCIL’S PLEA.
British Official Wireless Received Monday, 7 p.m. RUGBY, March 10.
The League Council afiopted the report of the financial committee, the main item of which was a detailed scheme for providing financial assistance to State victims of aggression. Tho draft of the Echcmo is based on the idea of guaranteeing to States tho possibility of securing effective financial help in the case of war, or threat of war. The effect of this would be to cause any would-be aggressor to hesitate in the knowledge that its intended victim might receive financinl assistance.
The scheme was warmly supported by Sir Austen Chamberlain and M. Brinntl, the former recalling that the British government had been the first to accept the principle of financial assistance, when tho Finnish government first put forward such a proposal. The plan is being submitted to the governments and will come up before the next League Assembly meeting.
