News of the Week
THE most important event since we last wrote has been the Prime Minister's speech on the League of Nations at the Albert Hall on Friday, October 26th. We have written elsewhere about the immense value of this speech, coming as it did after a period of bitter misinter- pretations of British foreign policy, some of which were earned but most of which were undeserved and ob- viously untrue. Here we may give the main points of the speeeh. First of all, Mr. Baldwin reviewed the great achievements of the League, and although he used the language of eulogy he did not exaggerate. Impatience for better results makes many people forget what an extraordinary change has come about. To all decent men war has become an atrocity instead of a normal incident in _policy.
