STATUS OF LEAGUE

FROM SHADOW TO SUBSTANCE

EUROPEAN TRIBUTES TO BRITAIN ■f United Press Association—By Eleetrto Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, November 5. “The League of Nations, until recently almost a mockery, has now become a reality,” said Mr Winston Churchill at Hull. The real explanation was the British fleet in the Mediterranean, where its presence raised the whole life of he League to a higher plane. It made the great experiment of future government by a law, into a reality, which was far greater cause for anxiety to Signor Mussolini than the Abyssinian army. The Paris correspondent of “The Manchester Guardian” says: The impression persists that England and France are endeavouring to reintroduce Germany into the League. Important delegates at Geneva tentatively discussed the question last week. M. Laval is considering a threepower Anglo-French-German agreement, the inclusion of Italy, which he would prefer being momentarily impossible. BRITAIN PRAISED DR.
