EMPIRE PROTECTION
INADEQUACY OF LEAGUE MR. DOWNIE STEWART'S VIEW VANCOUVER. Oct. 5 " The isolation of some of the members of the British Commonwealth,' cannot but engender in them a desire for more certain protection than that of the League of Nations," said Mr. W. Downie Stewart of New Zealand to-day on his arrival in Vancouver from the British Commonwealth Rela-' tions Conference in Toronto. He stated that this opinion was concurred in by his own country, as by Australia, India and South Africa. Mr. Stewart also stated that the objects of the League of Nations were undeniably desirable for the world, but their practical operation had not been very successfully demonstrated in the Orient. That feeling was demonstrated in Toronto when the Empire delegates made pointed objection to the idealistic and blindly-enthusiastic support offered the League by Viscount Cecil. Their attitude was that the League was all very well, but "what will happen to us in the event of war?"
