charges that the foreign minister and
Cecil have ruined the leagues credit
throughout Europe and discredited
it more completely than ever in the
United States.
He declares that Italy, summoned
to submit to the league, has defied
it and has won. Upon no issue has
the league dared to stand up against
F'rapce's late outrages in the Ruhr. "
says Garvin. Furthermore, If there
had never been Ruhr invasion there
never would have been n lombard
ment of Corfu.
"The league viii never be worthy
OF the name until 1t includes Ger

Meanwhile the council of ambassa-
dors at Paris has taken the Graeco-
Italian dispute out Af the hands of
the league, and. until the latter body
is supported by a majority OF the

lively and insure general peace"
The foreign office insists that the
league, in submitting to the over
riding of its authority by the ambas-
sadors conference, had made a ges-
ture which will lead TO peaceful
settlement. and therefore claims a
triumph for the papier mache or.
