What Its Supporters Should Forget. `SHELLING OF CORFU.

"A single shot fired at Sara- jevo involved us in a Continental war, because there Was no League of Nations to stop it. A bombardment at Corfu had no such result. Because there was

League of Nations."

Thus the News Chronicle, in its anxiety to press home its cam- paign on behalf of Geneva.

Propaganda should be made of sterner stuff than this, com- menta a "Londoner” · · în the

Evening Standard Diary. If there is one achievement on which the League cannot pride itself, It is its behaviour at the time of the Corfu incident. Let me recall the facts.

An Italian general on the Al- banian Frontier Commission had been murdered. Assuming that the murderer was a Greek. Italy bombarded Corfu and shelled. an orphanage in the process."

Here was a fisgrant breach of the Covenant. Here was a clear case for the intervention of the League.

By a happy coincidence the Assembly of the League was at the moment in full session. True it is that Lord Curzon, smitten by phlebitis... was then on his way from Orleans to Kedleston, and that, struck down by illness, Sir Eyre Crowe had handed over the reins of the Foreign Office to Sir William Tyrrell.

But there were stars in plenty in Geneva. Lord Cecil was there in all his glory. Among the smaller nations sympathy was unanimously the side of Greece.

Gunmen's Revenge on Their Enemies.

'FILM FOLK VICTIMISED,

Large sums of money have heen extorted from leading Holly- wood film players and producers by a Chicago gang who have threatened kidnapping and vio- lenice if their demands were not] met.

This was revealed as the re- sult of investigation into.. the murders of Mr. Charles Craw- ford. a Los Angeles political leader, and Mr. Herbert Spencer, assistant editor of "Critic of Critics," a local magazine, who were killed as they sat in Mr. Crawford's office discussing series of articles on gambling.

'Men said to be associated withi Al Capone have been terrorising picture celebrities into paying many thousands of dollars for protection.

Threats of outrage have brought victims into their net, and the fear of reprisals have prevented them from denouncing the men.

Mr. Spencer is believed to have :been murdered because he was collecting material for.. articles exposing this extortion. He had received threatening messages; and in a recent issue of his maga- zine ke published a warning to those who might make an at- tempt on his hate that evidence preserved in a strong box in a tank would be given to the authorities in the event of his death,

Gangs have extorted money from the theatrical profession, only recently they turned envi- ous eyes to Hollywood's large fortunes.

It was denied that the police guard at Fickfair, the residence of Douglas Fairbanks and Miss Mary Pickford, had anything to do with threats from this source.

PONY BANDITS.

A pony and trap capable of jogging along at eight to ten miles an hour was used by smash- and-grab "bandits" in a raid at High Street, Clapham, recently.

The trap drove up to a shop, a man jumped down, smashed the window and struggled back to the trap with a cabinet gramophone. The trap drove off towards Brix- ton.
