take her oath on the monstruous
treaty of Versailles, that Germany
has been dragged into the league OF
nations, in which, in view of the
present situation, she cannot carry on
any Independent policy. Today, after
Locarno, there are two governments
in Europe which have maintained
complete independence in their for
eign policy: the British government
in London and the Soviet government
in Moscow. All the other govern
ments are in the bonds of the Anglo
American bloc and are dependent on
the treaties dictated by this bloc
which, for the sake of form, are
registered under the league Of ma
lions, the league of nations however
being a direct instrument of the po-
icy of imperialism. The last 9th
autumn session of the league of ma
lions showed sufficiently clearly that
in this institution, England is the
mistress of the situation.
An American newspaper CORE
spondent describes the policy Of Eng
land in the league of nations, as fol-
lows:
"In any conflicts which may occur,
Great Britain trusts more to her navy,
her air force and her army than to
obligatory arbitration procedures. The
arbitration agreement is binding for
all except London which intends to
be the arbitrator in conflicts between
other countries"
New York Times.)
In Locarno also, England carried
on this policy. In spite Of its being an
advantage to the bourgeoisie to adj
vertisc Locarno in every possible
way, in order to deceive the vigilanc-
of the peoples, in order to mitigate
the mistrust of the masses in the
present governments, even the bour
geois journalists reveal part of the
truth about Locarno. Thus, one OF the
English newspapers of best repute
which is closely connected with the
diplomatic world and with the Eng
lish foreign minister, writes:
ut must not be believed, that per
manent equilibrium in Europe can b.
achieved or war prevented by mean'
of new treaties and guarantees
Neither the drawing up of documents
nor a protocol, nor guarantees cal
: turn that which by it's nature is un
stable into something stable. Their
are many and various European ques
lions which have already becom
! dangerous and which may lead t
sharp controversies in the compars
lively near future.
