It is not to be denied that the whole question of revision of the Versailles Treaty In Its muy ns- pects will eventually have to be faced, but in view of matters of far greater urgency which call for immediate action, it is unfortunate that this exceedingly controversial issue of Germany's right to re-arm should be raised at this junctüre.

The old nationalism has its roots in Scottish character, love of Scot land and an unshakable belief in Scottish ability.
