Members' Weakness Caused Failure
"London, December 1.
The debate on the league of Nations' was raised in the House of "Lords yesterday by Lord Ponsonby. He asked the Government if it would make immediate preparation for close international con- sultation on the underlying causes of complaint and friction between nations of the world.
He also asked whether the Government would consider pro- pesals for amendment of the Covenant so that the League might be! absolved from any of its present political and military obligations and be established as an all-inclusive permanent body for examin- ing deliberating on and if possible resolving, economic, commercial, "might con- currency tariff and colonial problems which, if neglected" tinue to be causes of international conflict.

Lord Cecil also argued the need for the organisation of peace on the basis of collective responsibi- lity, and made the point that it was not possible to use force as part of the League system that kept Nazi Germany out of the League.
Replying for the Government, the Fordgn Secretary said that at times he had thought, like Lord Ponsonby, that the coercive Articles of the Covenant. which It is extremely difficult. If not impossible to apply to-day, should be cut away, but on reflection he had decided against so drastic a
course.
