ton has conveyed the suggestion
that he pursue this course.
While he president Is working
out this plar and gaining sympathy
for II as one of the prime requisites
for general peace discussion, the
Entente Will fight on in an effort to
crush. or at least weaken the mili-
tary power and prestige of her en-
emics.
Balfour. II is pointed out. lays
paramount importance on the neces-
sity for halting future aggressnrs.
He says in fact that while territorial
readiustments sought by the Entente
POWERS might allay future danger
somewhat they would provide mo
sufficient security against rccur

Such security. he concludes. Is
possible only with some form oi
