The British Government, old Mr Butler, has done its best to fuini its obligations under the resolution adopted by the Assembly Council, and it would continue to give sympathetic consideratior to the requests of the Chinese Go- verament in conformity with those resolutions.
What we did was to save her from annihilation and gave her a chance of a new life as a new State, which, even if it in-. volved the loss of territory and fortifications, would perhaps enable her to enjoy and develop a future national existence in neutrality and security com- parable to that of Switzerland.

A telegram sent on October 2 by Herr Hitler to M. Pierre Flandin, the Right Wing lea- der, caused something of a sensation when It was read to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber by a Socialist deputy yesterday.

Prague, Oct. 6.
The Hungarian flag is being flown from the municipal buildings on the Czech side of, the Danube at the town of Ko marom, which is partly Hun- garian and partly Czech.
The bridges joining the two havies of the town have been opened to traffic and thousands of «Hun- garians are pouring into Komarom to fraternise with their brethren on the Czech side.
It is rellably reported that the Czech troops are withdrawing. It is expected that a commission will be set up to-morrow to decide when and where and in what cir- cumstances the plebiscite will take place to see which areas will'.go to Hungary-Reuter.

seems to me that strongest argument against the in- evitablity of war is found in the universal aversion of the people themselves and their hatred of. the thought of starting to kill one - other again.
