The Sinews of Peace International financiers are, no doubt, spinning
their webS in the approved style in the wingS of the Hague theatre. No one outside a lunatic asylum will suggest that to-day they are working for war.

At the March meeting of the League Council the British Foreign Secretary gave unqualified approval of the scheme worked out by the Financial Committee of the League.
