PLANNING FOR PEACE
NEW ZEALAND’S VIEWPOINT DISCUSSED United Press Association—By HHectrlc Telegraph Copyright LONDON. September 2. “The Scotsman,” in an editorial review of New Zealand's suggestions for the reform of the League, refers- to the divergence of opinion here and abroad among men sincerely desiring peace. It says that the ultimate sanction of the League authority is an armed force. Sanctions, if likely to be effective, mean war. The question then arises whether there should be automatic obligation to apply force. The New Zealand Government apparently has no fear of the sanctions article, feeling that the Covenant has not been given a chance. The objection to a plebiscite of every League State to decide whether it should join in sanctions, and whether to place an armed force automatically at the disposal of the League, is that implications of the question* are not always fully understood. Are New Zealanders prepared to fight in defence of Lithuania?
