of Nations the cause of arbitration in
admitted, made some advance, upon the road to ultimate establishnient as
nery of civilisation. The goal may be distart still, but progress has unques tionably to be recorded when the Feuch Government has formally approved," "uven though with certain limitations and ex ceptions, the principle of compulsory recourse to this means of adjusting con- troversies between State ard State. To this extent Mr. MacDonald, in showing the conrage at his convictions," has been justified; there has been a new spirit at work in Genota. But it has not been it is our duty to insist again, ard with emphasis, upon a point which has already been raised by our Diplomatic Carres- pondent. Eneasiness has been caused by the reports which have reached London of a certain proposal which has been, and appears still to be, under discussion in the Third Commission at Geneva. Tho matter has arisen out of the qualified aes ceptape by France of the principle of The principal compulsory arbitration. condition attached to that acceptance is that system of sanctious should be created, to be put in operation against any State failing to comply with an nward, whether made by the World Cours at The Hague or by a majority vote of the Council of the League itself-such a j vote being now proposed as sufficient for the taking of an arbitral decision. 1 has further been proposed that among these sarctious should be the employment of the British Navy in imposing an conomic boycott or blockade upon the recalcitrant State, and that our Navy should be placed unreservedly at the dis posal of the Longue for this purpose the British Government having nothing to say in the matter, either by way of assent ing to the employment of its naval power in any case that might arise or iry way of deciding what proportion of that strength should be devoted to the purpose. It might have been supposed that such an idea had only to be stated plainly to meet with an immediate and decisive negative from the representatives of this country. We are asked to sign away our sovereignty in one of the most vital regions of national policy and while it is perfectly true to say that adherence to the League of Nations Covenant in itself involves some sacrifice of sovereignty-the League would be the merest fiction otherwise it is, or should Thur. 30 10 45 be, quite obvious that this suggestion goes far beyond any such sacrifice as is contemplated by the Covenant, and would Satur. place Great Britain in a position that the nation would never tolerate.

As matters stand under the Covenant, British sovereignty and independence in regard to the employment of the Navy against a State guilty of disregarding its accepted obligations nee most carefully wed safeguarded. In the first place, the de- cision to impose sanctions must be taken by unanimous vote of the Council of the League. In the second place. the punitive measures to be taken by each Power are merely to be recommended by the Council, and it remains in the dis cretion of each Power to take such mea-

Teirerias (Blue Funnel Line), Council. Had ang representative of the left Liverpool on the 25th iret, for Hong- Admiralty brus officially present when it was first mooled, so extravagant a notion could never have been entertained, Apart from the questions of sovereignty, of national self-respect and of ondefinite financial liability, it is enough to men. tion the one consideration that the im- posing of a naval blockade upon any State would immediately and automati- cally involve Great Britain in the most serious difficulty with the United States, a. Power which is sufficiently jealous of its asserted maritime rights even in case of actual war, and which, not being in- cluded in the League, would be under no obligation whatever to recognise the state of hostilities created by the impos- ing of sanctions upon a member of the League. Action which might lead to the gravest difficulties with the United States is certainly not to be taken by this coun try without its own open-eyed acceptance of that risk in each particular case. The thing is unimaginable. It appears that these objectious have been urged upon our delegation at Geneva, for Lord Parmoor bas now authorised the statement that po defnite British proposal regarding the utilisation of the British Navy has either been made or withdrawn." That we can easily believe. But the question is whether this proposal has been put for ward at Geneva, not by us, but by others. Our information leaves us in no doubt about this having happened; and also in no doubt that the proposal, when made, did not meet with that instant and emphatic refusal which ought to have bern opposed to it on this country's he half. We are at least entitled now to assume that no more will be heard of it. But the episode is a startling reminder of the possibilities of a method of, states manship which involves ertering upon undertakings of the most vital character without the knowledge of, Parliament, upon which would subsequently lie the onus, and possibly the odium, of revers- ing a decision which should never have been made.
The greatest necessity of the present day is that all people should learn that the men on the other side of the frontier do not possess a tail and horns.-The Rev. Oliver Dryer.
