BACK TO REALITY

SIR, I think that Mr. G. E. Lee misconceives the situation. The responsible allied leaders are not in the least striving merely for a Four-Power Concert. They see that if further wars are to be prevented when this is ended there must be some combination of great Powers sufficiently strong to keep order. There is no other possible group to do this than the Allied Powers. Those four Powers will certainly tve:come to their aid any other Powers which seek to co-operate for the same supreme object. All leaders know well that the principles of the League are eternal. What they want is all available help to make that organisation secure the peace of the world.
