THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION.
DARK AND ALARMING., Australian wad N.Z- Cable Association. LONDON, Feb. 7. Mr Asquith, speaking at Paisley, said the international situation was dark and alarming. New frontiers in Central and Eastern Europe must necessarily be purely provincial. If new States set up tariff barriers they would be a steady menace to future peace. All agreed that Germany should pay the largest sum possible as war damages, but it was more important to accelerate the restoration of the normal economic life of Europe., If was a defect of the Treaty that Germany’s liability was nowhere defined. It was impossible for her to meet liabilities of that kind. The Austrian conditions were even more severe. Germany and Austria were to start a new world with a milestone of unlimited indebtedness. This was not statesmanship, not business or commonsense. It was not a clean peace which would end all war. j ■ I
