IDEALS AND THE MEANS
“ I must acknowledge that many mistakes were made during the course of the years since the war,” said Mr R. A. Butler. Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in a frank statement winding up a recent debate in the House of Commons. “If I were to sum up what we should aim at, I should say that in future British policy should aim at'reconciling our obligations with the strength with which it. is in our power to carry out those obligations. I believe that if we learn that lesson we can then study any scheme for an ideal future such as federal union or any other scheme, and try to work out what may be after the war the ideal system of international relations.”
