(SPECIAL TO THE "HONGKONG DAILY PRESS")

(Continued from Yesterday)

It is no secret in England that the British Generál staff views ap- proximate to the following: "That the military potential of Britain can be used to the full, only provided a favourable polley 'be adopt- ed towards the League of Nations, and the defence of democratic principles." In this respect, the views of the French War Ministry |also differ from those of the present Cabinet and the Qual d'Orsay,

And the distrust of Mr. Chamberlain's Clivden clique policy is shown in the statement of M, Wickham Steed as long ago as March. "The one fundamental British interest is to say that Britain Wili de- fend those things which she ultimately will be forced to defend. It war ensues, she will be dragged into it by the tall if she refuses. to go into it with her head high on the basis of principles which will command support of the British peoples and eventually of the United States."
