LONDON PRESS COMMENT BLAME PLACED ON FRANCE LONDON. July 5 "France alone is responsible for the collapse of the functioning of the League of Nations," says the Sunday Times. "Of the thres gre.it Powers represented at Geneva, Britain and Russia never recoiled from any step to which the rest would agree.

It was France which blocked action France whose Government for the sake of the Stresa front against Germanyhad in advance promised Signor Mussolini a free hand. "Since then France has changed her Government. \Y hat is she now prepared to undertake? If the League is to resume functioning, the onus falls upon her inescapably and in the first instance upon M. Blum."
