TO-DAY'S STATESMAN.

· EUROPE'S NEW PEACE- MAKERS.

The award of the Nobel prizes te Sir Austen Chamberlain and to M. Briand and Herr Stresemann Is at once a greatly deserved tribute to them and, by a most natural sequence, to the League of Na- tions, writes Mr. J. M. N, Jeffries In the Daily Mail. For it bas boen under the agis of the League that the three have met and worked together for peace, and it is very doubtful whether they would over have been able to achieve what they have done without the op portunities the League and `Lea-· gus annexes, such as. Locarno, have given them.

The pre-eminent accomplish- ment of the League is that i bas given Peace its first civil establish, ment at Goneva. In a world fi}}~___ ed with. War öfflers and Minis-.... tera de la Guerre and Kriogemínis- teriums, here at long last is a Ministry of Peace. Much regard Is paid, in spurts, to the tedious debates and oceans of statistics coming from the counell rooms of the League; attention la spasmo- dically centred upon soine intrigue or complexity woven beneath its roofs. What the cities fall to per- celve is the whole edifice itself and the persons. It shelters, Intimate Friendships.

At the present meeting there are six or seven Ministers of Foreign Affairs; at the last meeting of the Assembly there were at least six-

teen. They came and went. And. that is the important point; nowa. days the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the world are coming and going and staying in Geneva, or meeting elsewhere under. Lea- gue auspices as a matter of rou- tine. They have been doing, so for some six years now and they know each other intimately. If heme politics drive a Minister out of office, he takes his Geneva com- radeships into Opposition," and with the new Minister coming to Geneva, presently in his country both sides in the Chamber have' their Geneva link..

More than this, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs are accom- panied always by members of their respective offices; diplomatists, and permanent officials, ranging from plenipotentiaries to junior Becretaries. Thoy dine together, walk together, drive togather, "aro jostled in heaps together at meet- ings. They too are" coming to know each other intimately. More important still, the political journ. alists of the world are drawn into regular close acquaintance with each other. The true internation- alists are being born now that they dispose of a birthplace.

In his memorable speech last September on the occasion of the reception of Germany Into the League Mr. Brian used some words of marked import. He said, "Mol et M. Stresemann, and he said it repeatedly. He scarcely. spoke of France and Germany, He anid, "M. Stroacmann and I can. do this or cannot."

A New Type Of Statesman. There is growing up in the world, and the world scarce. res- lises it, a new type of statesman. To the modern Foreign Minister, who in the terrible quarrels of countries is the main instructor of Cabinets, a given country is no longer an abstraction known to. him through a solitary Minister or Ambassador. For him a country stands for his close acquaintances A and B and C, who are the very moulders, of its thought.

And that is why, though the' speeches and plans of Geneva will have their faevitable setbacks spi delays and the architecture of Thoiry will not please at once, the voices will in the end certainly bo heard and the style will indubit ably impose itself. That is why Franco and Germany learn from Brinnd and Stresemann of terms which France and Germany them- selves would never probably have". provided.

The world has never known this.
