4 GUESSING ways and means Of renew
ing diplomatic relations with Soviet
Russia. 1t appears that the powers
that control the league Of nations,
namely, England and France, advised
the Swiss government that they were
not going to have the success of the
proposed arms conference jeopardised
because of Switzerland's desire to
feed its vanity by continued refus-
al to accede to Russia's request for
a satisfactory settlement Of the
> breach between the two countries
caused by the assassination of the
Soviet diplomat Vorovsky on Swiss
soil.
SWITZERLAND has now the choice
~ between feeding its vanity and
helping to feed its face. If it con-
tinues the intransigent attitude it had
originally adopted, with the tacit sup
port of the powers, the league may
decide to hold the arms conference
elsewhere and If it's location is not
changed Russia will not attend. It's
a DEVILS choice, either way. The
powers will very likely prod Switzer-
land into submission. What does the
dignity of a little country amount to
when the interests of the big capital
