TOPICS OF THE DAY
The Spanish Issue “The conflict lias not spread beyond tbe borders of Spain, and may 1 be allowed to add that such a consideration must be of the greatest moment to us all? Though, therefore, the main object for which the policy was created lias so far been achieved, it would be idle to deny that there have been wide breaches of the agreement. Engagements entered into have not been kept. There are foreign nationals in large numbers lighting on Spanish soil. No agreement has been reached for their withdrawal. This is a state of affairs pregnant with danger to the peace of Europe. We are ready enough to take our full share, and more than our full share, of responsibility for the policy of non-intervention. We have consistently supported that policy. If non-intervention Lias now been discarded, it will not be for lack of patience on the part of its original sponsors. Let us not, however, conceal from ourselves this patent fact: If the policy of non-intervention is abandoned Europe will be swept into deeper and more dangerous waters. A leaky darn may yet serve its purpose, but we alone cannot decide the fate of this policy.”—Mr. Anthony Eden.
