LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
ENFORCEMENT OF AWARDS.
FRENCH AND BRITISH NAVY.
DISILLUSIONMENT IN STORE.
(Reuter's Serviss.) ....
LONDON, September 17. The discussions at Geneva with regard to British obligations in the enforcement of arbitre awards is given particular prominence in the French newspapers, most of which confidently assume that Britain will undertake to co-operate a imposing sanctions on any aggressor, not merely with her flest but with air forces..
SURPRISE IS PROBABLE."
From enquiries made in London, however;}·· there is reason to believe that people, countingimai the British Fleet being placed at the dispo the League are likely, to be very much disillusion ed. The question certainly has been discussed but it is emphasised that no definite" far-reaching proposal, like that recorded in the French Press, has been either advanced or accepted.
It is always possible that the League of Nations, in the event of a dispute might ask Britain to co-operate by means of her feet in enforcing an economic blockade; but this is a very different matter from what has been suggested in certain interested quarters.
A

PROTOCOL IS TENTATIVE,
GENEVA, September 17. It must be emphasised that the peace protocal mentioned yesterday, the terms of which un officially leaked out, was only the first draft pese pared with the object of conciliating British and French views da regards to the penalties to enforce the decision of the Council. The matter is still
· in its earliest stage and there are points of difference still remaining to be settled. The British, for example, consider that the decision of the Counall dealing with an Infraction of the Covenant should be. unanimous; while the French consider a majority vote sufficient. The British emphasised that Britain is not likely to accept an- gagements to place all her forces at the disposal of the League.

LONDON, September 17. The fighting going on in the neighbourhood of Shanghai is of little immediate Importance,
day" in which he attacks British Policy in China. asserts Bertrand Russell in an article in the " New as He declares that the rivalries of Chinese war lords, whom all decent Chinese despise, give excuses for interference in Chinese Affairs by the Powers, and for the extortion of concessions in return for their support.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION.
The only exception, to the rule that the war whom the writer pays a warm tribute as the pioneer lords are ambitious brigands, is Sun Yat-sen, to of republicanism in China and the friend of the proletariat.
After commenting that the restoration of Wei- he does not think the policy of Labour will ever be. hal-wai to China is long overdus, Mr. Russell says adequately carried out until a certain number of important official posts, both at the Foreign Office men, in sympathy with the policy, are placed in and in the Diplomatic Service.
In conclusion, Mr. Russell writes that, unless a special effort is made to check information derived from British banks and merchants, officials of the British Goverment are bound to serve the interests of capitalism in China.
