EFFECT OF THE COVENANT
AMERICA AND SANCTIONS. “ Everything goes to show,” said Mr Attlee, Leader of the Opposition, in a House of Commons debate in the British Parliament, “ that the United .States people were ready, at a time when the League had reached the height of its reputation, arid had begun to deal with this subject, to collaborate, with Europe. “ It may be much more difficult now, but I think is possible American public opinion sustained a serious shock at the Laval-Hoare agreement. There is no doubt that these who wished Amenra to take her fair share in the League were shoe cd by that ngreemen:, but even so is it any reason why the rest of the Le .-zue should not put on oil sanctions ?
“ I can i ever see why, if one people will not obey the law, all the rest of the people should not. We are, as a matter of fact, bound by the Covenant; it may be said that it is a mistake to be in it, and that we ought to get out of it, but at the present moment we are bound by it.”
