AGAINST WAR.
PACT & LEAGUE COVENANT VISCOUNT GREY’S VIEWS United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, June 5. Viscount Grey, former Foreign Minister, presiding at the League of Nations Union Conference on arbitration, said that the peace pact proposal from the United States had no direct connection with the League of Nations at all. Yet, in its effect on the object of the League, it would, he thought, be more important and helpful than anything that could have been done within the League itself. If the pact became an accomplished fact, the majority of the nations who signed it. would be members of the League. The risk of any of those members breaking the Covenant of the League would be much less, because by so doing they would be breaking the American pact also. It would be a very formidable thing in the future for any nation to break two such important. things as the Covenant of the League and the Ajnerican Peace Pact. The pact was not yet a reality, but the prospects of its becoming so seamed to him to be increasingly favourable.— (British Official Wireless.)
