NOTES OF THE DAY

LEAGUE SOCIETIES

Unusual algnificanco attaches this year to the forthcoming.Con- gress of League of Nations So- cieties in Brussels. Great Britain la not the only country which feels that a special effort must be made without dolay to save the world from those precursors of war-armanants competition and hostile alliances. Lendors of or- ganised peace opinion in Thany Funds will put their heads together at the Brussels conference and decide what steps aro most likely to avert the future danger that prompt action alone can diapel. The British League of Nations Union, of course; will be in the forefront of the Congress, as be- fils the pioneer of League societies. Even in Great Britain the exact standing of the L.N.U. not al- ways properly understood. It In sometimes confused with the | League of Nations at Geneva.

"The XIXth Plenary Con gress records its conviction that the only hope of solving the present international dif- culties lien in the prompt and resolute application of the Covenant to each difficulty na it arises, and if possible be- fore it, assumes dangerous proportions; and the Congress is further convinced that the all round Thaitation and re- duction of national armaments by international agreement is essential to any satisfactory system of collective security.

"While anxious that the League should be universal in character the Plenary Con- gress is of opinion that even if-that-result-should-prove-to be unattainable, the Members of the Leaguo are not dis- charged from their obliga- tions under the Covenant to maintain peace and must take. the necessary action for that purpose".

is respect for the law; whereas, says this writer, the strong emotion in the English- man is to act on the spur of the moment, irrespective of how many laws are broken. How far generalisations of this nature can be anid to hold water is open to question. Viewed as a kind of political animal, there are un- doubtedly differences between the Englishman and Frenchman; and, much as we deplore differ- ences, they must be taken into account by those engaged in the conduct of international affairs. But the really extraordinary personal differences which exist among civilised peoples to-day are not necessarily those be- tween one national group and another, as between groups of TO-DAY'S MOTORING HINT people within the same nation.
