MORALLY CLEAN
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS "You may laugh at the League's present meeting", at its apparent return from the grave." says the Daily Herald. "It is easy to gibe at failure and impotence. And the League we shall he told, can do no more than express its moral disapproval of the international criminals who continue to rob and murder their victims without hindrance. But are you so sure that the public expression of disapproval is of no value? Is not the importance of world opinion incidentally proved by the elaborate facade of hypocrisy which the international aggressors erect around their crimes? What a remarkable tribute to virtue it is when they tell us that they are 'liberating' this or that people, or that some tiny neigh- | hour has insolently provoked them to war. And may it not turn out inter to have been vitally necessaty lo preserve some international organisation, with ?-! least a clear moral record, through the present years of violence?"
