We need add only a few words in regard to

our attitude towards Germany and Poland. The last thing we want to do is to take sides with Germany against Poland ; we want both to be at peace with their neighbours and to be contented and prosperous. Last week we wrote strongly about Poland because we felt that it was neces- sary to show how unjustifiable the Polish pretension was and how little her record entitled her to claim a permanent seat. But no one would be more pleased than we should be if Poland by a policy of justice and wisdom attained to the greatness which is her ambition and which one day might entitle her to be a permanent member of the Council when her claim no longer served a partisan pur- pose. • * * *
