LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MUTUAL ASSISTANCE TREATY
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.)
GENEVA, July 19
Powerful opposition to the treaty of mutual assistance drafted by the League of Nations last year is forthcoming from a letter from Mr MacDonald, who states inter alia that the proposals entail an increase rather than a. decrease in British naval and military forces, and tend to the formation of rival groups of powers, thus reverting to the old system of alliances. Moreover, it implies an undesirable extension of the powers of the Council of the League, which would become a powerful executive body instead of a consultative body.
