parallel between the Balkan explo-

War and the latest Balkan diff
Guilty which was settled by the Lea

question: now to ask whether the
great catastrophe of 1919 could
have been averted.
Questions Responsibility
Armistice Day this year perhaps
more than ever before brings up
the question of whether the World
war could have been avoided,' Sir
Eric declared.
Nobody can answer that qucs-
ton catcgoricallv. If war comes,
everyone knows it. If war is avoid
ed no one can prove it. The i'm
mediate origin of the World War
was the assassination in the Balkan
peninsula. For five weeks Europc
quivered on the edge of the catas-
trophe. Heroic efforts were made
to bring about n conference, a face
to.face discussion in II round table
meeting but without avail.
'Yhere was no standing machin.

This past month there was an.
other incident in the Balkans (thc
