the British foreign secretary not only
the prospects of world peace. but also
what may happen in case such a
peace could not be brought about. He
was anxious to tell his British friend
that he believed in Britain's pacific
intentions. But should their peace eff
forts fail. and a war break out. the
powerful British fleet would be of lit
tie, If any, help to the empire. Squad
rons of airplanes would darken the
skies and destroy the British naval
bases. He presented the sad and

The German fleet-mostly subma-

full purpose. They can watch the

that every budget presented by the
national government is battle-ground
between money for war and social
services, and at present money for
war is the victor.

The political picture of Europe is
changing from week to week. At
present there Is the following set-up
to confront the German menace:
A western group led by Britain
and France Dith the Locdrno
treaty as its basis.
An eastern group in iDhich
France is linked Uith the SoUiets
and Czechoslopnkio.
A central group in Which Italy
and France iUiu act NTH the Little
Entente to preserve the status quo
OF Austria.
Finally, there is a prospect OF
Balkan group to match Bulgaria.
All these groups claim to accept
the Jurisdiction of the League OF Ma
tions, but it Is unlikely, If an actual
aggression occurs. that there will be
time for any of the legal formalities
Of Geneva. When the first bomb is
dropped (nobody talks any longer
about the first shot being f1red the
soldiers will take control and the
diplomats will be showed into the
background.

ring which is being formed around
her by Strengthening her ties with
Japan.

that the German steel firms haze

existing freight rate agreements on
the sea routes to the Far East. The
