characterize war-like preparations as
the Key to Peace.
Without the approval of his govern
ment he would utter no such words;
from this follows that Great Britain
officially sanctions his attitudes; it
further follows that since Great Bri-

well wonder where the Key to Peace

MOntreux Conference.
Ardently devoted to the ideal of
peace, Turkey has applied for per-
mission to fortify the Dardanelles;
there is some undeniable force in
the Turkish argument. for it runs
like this: AS long as all the other
powers are arming to- the teeth; as
long as they build Notifications and
otherwise, prepare for WARMLY
should Turkey be left relatively un-
defended?
The question came up for discussion
at a conference at Montreux a few
days ago, but seems to have been
more or less lost sight of, for very soon
the debate turned in the direction OF
allowing Russia complete freedom OF
passage for her warships through the
Dardanelles Straits. France supp orted
the Russian demand, Great Britain
and Japan objected, and Italy said she
would not commit herself as long as
the League of Nations had not yet
removed it's economic sanctions.
The result was negative, for no
thing was decided as to the Darda-
nelles militarization or the free pas
sage of Russian warships, and so the
conference recessed until further no
tice.
Far East Situation.
Devoid of results, also, have been
efforts to clarity the present situation
in China. Japan has boldly marched
many thousands of her soldiers into
North China, occupying five PROVING es

less conquest. G. The central govern.
ment of China has not stirred; it has
protested vaguely and politely, but the
Japanese soldiers remain-and the
Chinese government does nothing
more about it.
| This inactivity has stirred up the
blood of the South Chinese people who
demand immediate and drastic actor
against the invader. But the centra
governments ears appear to be help.
lessly deaf at this point.
And so, South China seems to be
taking matters into its own hands
There are rumors that South Chinese
armies are marching northward, an(
that they have already clashed with
the troops of the central government
but nothing definite is known about
that. There also are rumors that ia
pan is back of the South Chinese re.
bellion in order to weaken China anC
make ultimate conquest all the easier
Nothing here is very clear or def.
mite except the fact that Japan has
North China crouching and writing
under her iron heel, and that this is

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page -
Reform or No Reform.

This is realized by many members
of the League themselves, and upon
that is predicated the suggestion that
the organization must be reformed
One plan is to so overhaul it as to
make it possible for the United States
to join it, for Japan and Germany to
rejoin it. With such a perspective be-
fore them, the League delegates will
need years for their debate along this
line.
But does the League really need a
reform? Nicholas Titulescu, the for
eign minister of ROumania, does not
think so. Very truthfully he says it
is humanity that needs reform, and
he objects to any tinkering with the
League machinery. His premise is
sound enough, for everyone can con-
cede that humanity in general needs
plenty of improvement-but his con-
clusion seems wrong since you cannot
approach the problem of reforming
the world except through the one or
than any other, represents that world
and that is the League of Nations.
OF course, if the League comprised
all the nations, failures such as that
of Ethiopia would have been unthink-
able; the League was not even sup
ported by certain nations outside its
membership, and if they could be
brought within it's circle, there is
some hope that repeated aggression
might be prevented. Any optimism
expressed on this point is, however
either premature or artificial.
"Key to Peace"
Someone has described the League
as the Key to Peace. 1t has not yet
proved itself worthy of that appella
ton, but most certainly it has potent
ial efficiency as peace guarantor.

trated by British statesman a few
