WILL GERMANY JOIN THE
LEAGUE?
HERR ERZBERGER'S IDEA
WORLD PEACE.
Jay A. MCCURDY, M.P.]
P
(Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, and one of the founders of the League of Nations Society.) From the British point of view the League of Nations that we are now guild- ing will be a consecration of the allinnee which has brought German militarism to the ground; a permanent union of the Great Powers who one by one found them selves forced into partnership for mutual defence against a wanton war of aggres sion on the part of Germany and her allien.
The Weakness of the present league of allies was the fact that it was not in exist ence when Germany and Austria resolved to make war, the problem for the future to ensure that any similar attempt to disturb the word's pence by a wanton act of war should be immediately confronted by the organised and equipped resources of all the peace-loving nations of the world.
THE ONE ESENTIAL,
For that purpose it is desirable, but certainly not essential, that in the future League of Nations Germany should find a pince
What is essential is that its members should constitute good working majority of the Great Puwers, strong enough effec tively to overawe or suppress any would. be world conquerors of the future.
An alliance between the British Bo- pire and the United States of America night of itself for a very effective league for that purpose.
Herr Erzberger regards the coming League of Nations from quite a different point of view. He admits that the viola
tion of Belgium was a wrongful act, otherwise he discloses no sense of wrong- doing on the
the part of
of Germany for her part in the world war. On the contrary, o represents the war as having arisen out of a bona fide dispute between Austria and Serbia, ignoring altogether the secret council of July 6th, when that dispute was arranged for and the time-table of aggression was prepared. That aggroe sive war is an intolerable erime against humanity and that Germany is now in the dock to answer for that orime has not yet occurred to Herr Erzberger.
His scheme for a League of Nations is sumed up in
in six points:-
1.-Compulsory arbitration.
2--Disarmament.
a.--Freedom of the seas. 4.The open door.
3-The universal opening up of Africa. 6-The permanent neutrality of small
States
All disputes must be settled by arbitra- tion; disarmament is be universal. The British Navy must disappear from the sens, and whether the League is suc- essful in preventing future wars or not, England musí no longer be permitted to bold in her bands all the unpartant straits and sea routes. The freedom of the scan will not be established to the. satisfaction of Horr Erzberger---
Bo long
us a single armed ship sails the ocean.
Germany must saori- fice her submarines for the sake of a tasting peace; England must sacrifice ber Navy."
GIBRALTAR.
The retention of the control of the Straits of Gibraltar or the Suez Canal by England, be says, "can have no justi- fication of any kind save the sovereign, will of England.
во
The
preference given by British colonjen British
goods in contrary to what Hert Erzberger regards as the true spirit of a League of Ponce, which must ensure to Germany equality of privilege in all matters of international commerce.
As regards the German colonies, Herr Erzberger claims that the German nation has a cultural right and a moral obligation to engage in colonial activities.
The insistence upon
colonial possessions is, therefore, . qucation of national honour and of her equality of rights as a civilised nation, as compared with the other nations of Europe
On all these points there is obviously a wide difference of opinion between Herr Erzberger and ourselves. We desire to organise the forecs of righteousness to the extent necessary to keep down perman ently disturbors of the peace.
Herr Erzberger desires to start by dis arming the guardians of the peace. We shall not sacrifice the British Navy or the British trade routes. We shall not restore the native races of Africa to the blessings of German Kultur.
Herr Erzberger tells us that "without freedom of the seas, the open door, equal commercial facilities, and a pro- por share for Germany in the opening up of Africa, Germany will not join a League of Nations."
In that case the League will have to do without her.
