M. Poincare's Return

M. Poincare has returned to Paris after his convales- cence, though it is still uncertain whether he will again enter politics. Even if he does not he may be expected to be an active commentator. In a speech this week to the Departmental Council of the Meuse, of which he is President, he said that "more than international anthems" were needed for the protection of France, who would demand the right to organise her own protection if guarantees of security were not forthcoming. In view of such a speech, which is quite out of step with the main movement for the establishment of peace, we can only regret that the British delegation could not speak even more plainly than it did at Geneva.
