LLOYD GEORGE SEES LEAGUE’S POWER GONE - ^Late Crisis Too Much for Infant dicate Greco-Italian Trou ~ Should Not Have Gone to League Under Circumstances. “Melodramatic Display” BY DAVID LLOYD GEORGE London, Sept. 15.—The volcano which broke out so unexpectedly on the Adriatic littoral has, for the time t being, ceased to be active and the lava flow has been arrested and ap pears to be congealing at Corfu. Signor Mussolini has not yet de clared war against the league of na tions. This is probably because the league has abdicated In favor of the council of ambassadors. Whether the Incident Is closed de pends on whether or not Italy means to stick to Corfu. It is not yet clear that Signor Mussolini means to give up Corfu, even if Greece humbles her pride to the dust to propitiate this wrath. If he does go out, with his 100,000,000 lire and all the rest, then the whole affair will soon be forgot ten and the troubled European eye will wander back to the Ruhr—pro vided always the Mussolini volcano does not break out in another direc tion. The subterranean rumblings in the northern Adriatic are becoming more and more audible and angry. The Flume crater may, within the next few days, belch forth flames and throtj out streams of lava which will not be as easily arrested as those at ^^^*ir>rfu. So that the danger is by no means over. Complication of Diseases. If Italy remains at Corfu, or if she strikes out at Fiume on one pretext or another, then Europe will, if I may vary the metaphor, have two more serious abcesses added to her other grave ailments. Poor Europe! 'low can she ever hope to get well with such a complication of diseases n her system! But whatever occurs at Corfu or Fiume, there can be no doubt as to the effect of the unhappy events of tlie last week on the fortunes of Geneva. The league of nations has: suffered a severe shock to its au thority. Its right to intervene ir^ a dispute which had provoked an act ! of war by one member of the league against another has been repudiated I with violent emphasis by the former. A great power, which is one of the leading members of the league, has laid It down as a principle that the league has no right to Interfere where one of the parties avers that a question of national honor is in volved. The assembly at Geneva has prac ; tically accepted that grave limitation on their powers by handing over their 'Afictions to another body, not known to any treaty. They have thus im plicitly bowed to Signor Mussolini’s challenge. Ills contention took the form of not only telling them It was none of their 1 business and that, If they persisted. Italy would withdraw from the league, but also of claiming It was a ques tion for the council of ambassadors totdeal with. To this view the league lias, in effect, given its assent. The council of ambassadors Is simply a gathering of diplomatists who, for the | time being, the leading j allied powers In Paris. To this body ( has been referred, from time to time. 1 questions arising out of the Interpreta tion of peace treaties.. It ls.lndepend 1 ent of the league of nations. The league has no control over Its pro ceedings. It acts directly and en tirely under the authority of various foreign offices and of the supreme council. This body, which has hitherto ex ercised more important functions In the settlement of international quar rels than the league of nations, is the one chosen by Signor Mussolini In preference to the league. The coun cil of the league acquiesced in their own deposition as an Instrument for settling International disputes. They may suggest terms ami condl tlons, but they can no longer Inter vene. Henceforth, should any differ . ence likely to end In war arise he- . L^tween nations, then, as soon as one the disputants claims that it af- 1 fects the national honor, the Italian precedent places that dispute outside the Jurisdiction of the league. What then Is left of the covenant? More good causes have be< n ruined by Injudleinus advocacy than by powerful opposition. The league of nations Is preeminently an example of this truth. Some of us who count ourselves sincere fi lends of the league have always urged gradual and cau tlous procedure with the league. We , felt certain that any attempt to refer \ to It. In the days of I is Infancy, high ly controversial questions on which great nations lelt acutely for decision, would only break Its back. The zea lots scoffed at our timidity arid at tributed It to concealed dislike tit the league. They have now had their way. and a pretty mess they have made of the league.

V TODAY “Expect Great Thing.” droit and tactless than the handling of this delicate affair by the council of the lengue? It was a situation that called for the most skillful and circumspect manipulation. Italy was seething with unfeigned anger at the cold blooded murder of her agents on Greek soil. Italian and Greek rival ries in the Mediterranean—as old as the days of Pyrrhus—Italian dislike and distrust of the Greek—perhaps still older—made the Italians ready to believe the worst as to the motives and origin of the bloody deed. If there were statesmen who saw In this squalid episode the opportun ity to secure a coveted citadel which would add to Italian security In the Adriatic, that was an added reason for moving wisely and cautiously. In stead of which, every blunder and crudity was committed of which a combination of fanaticism, vanity and temper was capable. Thought ('arns Stacked. The council managed to convey the In-on oKlnn that It had already taken sides before it had even heard the parties. What greater mistake could ,l u-ii.uiuil commit if it wished to command confidence. When a novel experiment in adjudication has not yet established its influence, confidence is vital to Its continued existence. By demeanor even more than by speech, the British representative managed to create the conviction In the Italian mind that he had already come to the conclusion that Italy was In the wrong. The contents of the Italian press were unanimous in their depre ciation of the apparent prejudgment of the case. The effect was so bad that It was impossible for Signor Mussolini to agree to refer the dis pute to tho decision of the league, even If he had desired to do so. Things were made much worse by premature discussion, which was ar ranged to take place in public, with histrionic effects, to show up Italy's attitude, and ostentatiously to put it in wrong in the sight of the civilized world. The drama—together with the demonstration from the clique of league sympathizers who congregate on these occasions—all Irritated" Italy to the point of frenzy, and the pub licity made it Impossible for it to retreat from its uncompromising po sition. The movers in this melodra matic display ought to have known that, had Signor Mussolini surren- ! dered after this exhibition, he would j have been done for in Italy. League Should Have Investigated. The league ought never to have intervened at all without prospecting the ground thoroughly before taking the first step. One of three things ought to have been assured by the council before it committed the pres- I tige of the league. \ I. It ought to have been ascer tained that both parties would have j accepted the arbitrament of the league. Failing satisfactory assur ance on this point, then the council ought, at any rate, to have been cer tain either that— 2. The other (powers—and notably Britain and France—would have been ready, In the event of either of the disputants refusing to submit to the league, to enforce respect for the covenant or, If agreement among the powers was not practicable, then— 3. That at least one power with the requisite strength at its command was prepared to tnke whatever measures were necessary to forcce the recal citrant to submit. Short of one of these alternatives, It was madness to rush in. As to No 1, Italy had made it clear that il would have none of the league. As to No. 2, the British representative ADVERTISEMENT.
