BRITAIN’S FOREIGN POLICY
LORD SNELL STRESSES SEA POWER. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Ottawa, August 5. A message from Orilla states that Lord Snell, Labour Leader in the House of Lords, in an address to the Canadian Institute of Economics and Politics, said that the integrity of the British Commonwealth of Nations must be maintained and the trade routes must be kept open. Sufficient naval power must be maintained to enable England to import necessities. “The British foreign policy has two main motives,” said Lord Snell. “First, there must be no war in which Britain is engaged unless any of her major interests are threatened by another Power; secondly, she must seek to avoid war by collective security and by honouring her word when it is given. If the Empire becomes a thing of a count-ing-house and ledger only, it will pass away.”
