INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW

Today Captain Anthony Eden peri

time within a week: the first time
he came from London; today from
Rome.
Wherever knotty problems in her
foreign policy face Great Britain she
sends brilliant Captain Eden: until
recently he was lord keeper of the
seals in the Macdonald cabinet and.
practically speaking, assistant foreign
minister. Now he occupies a regular
cabinet post as minister for League
of Nations affairs, and, apparently, i

As has already been told here.
Great Britain a few days ago agreed
to permit Germany TO build navy
corresponding in tonnage TO 35 per
CcIl VI l4Ldt VI liz DIl LISA nav 1ISc
il was agreed that Germany might
employ a submarine tonnage CORE
spending 70 i5 per cent of that Of
Great Britain.
In attaining these objects German
diplomacy scored a double triumph:
first of all. il shot a wedge into the
close relationship between Great Brit
ain and France. and then il succeeded
in making Great Britain practically
guilty OF the same violation Of the
Versailles peace treaty with which
Germany had been charged. and for
which Germany was condemned by
the League Of Nations-Great Britain
voting for the condemnation along
with all the rest, except Denmark.
For, the treaty expressly provides
that German naval tonnage must not
exceed 10000. and that there must
Be no submarines under the German
flag.
Now. boldly. Great Britain author
lies a German navy four times as
large as that stipulated at Versailles.
and tells Germany that she can 90
ahead and build almost half as many
submarines as she has herself,
No wonder Germany was elated-
and France sore.
