LEAGUE POWERS
ECONOMIC STRENGTH * LONDON", Dec. 20 "The thicker the corn the easier it is mowed," said Alaric as he advanced toward Rome. On the contrary, "Heaven is on the side of the big battalions," according to Napoleon. Accepting the later authority, the League of Nations' position should be secure. Fifty-three League nations have a population of 1,650,000.000 and the non-Leaguers under 400,000,000, of whom 210,000,000 are in the Italy-Germanv-Japan triangle, 125,000,000 in the United States, and 40,000,000 in Brazil. France, Britain, and the Soviet have over 250,000,000. It is truo that China and India supply nearly half the population of the League, but, even allowing for that, the League Powers, plus the United States, have men, money and economic strength far exceeding tho triangle.
