MR MASSEY'S VIEWS REGARDING THE LEAGUE
BRITISH NAVY'S INFLUENCE FOR
. . . PEACE. ■•.'•'. - Paris, February 17. ■. Mr. Massey, in an interview, said he was. confident that the members of the Conference were anxious for the success of the league.: He.did not suppose any scheme would absolutely prevent war, but undoubtedly the operation of the league would make wars less frequent, because it-would give time for the exhaustive consideration of disputes. It could not be denied that the league must have force behind it if-its authority was to : be exeroised. It would be necessary still to keep up a certain military and naval strength. He could 6ee no other way to enforce discipline on unruly and unscrupulous nations. • The finance scheme called for serious consideration. The question of disarmament Required careful investigation.. Without the British Navy Germany would have dominated, the world. That Navy was still the most important influence for the world's peace, and they .must be careful how they allowed it to be interfered with Germany's atrocities must be punished fully, and compensation secured for the injuries inflicted; otherwise similar thinge in the future might bo expected. Hβ heartily wished the league success,—Aus.-N.Z, Cable Assn,
