DECADENT IN EUROPE
FOREIGN POLICY FAULTY
J'TTMES" ON CAUSE AND CURE.
(DNITBD PSESS ASSQCIATIOX.—COP3RIGHI.) (PUBLISHED IN IHB TIMES.) (Received 18th January, 9 a.m.) LONDON, 17th January. . "The Times," in a leading article lamenting the apparent decadence of British policy abroad, EU-ys: "The real reason wily Fiance is being allowed to become dominant in Western Europe and flout Bjatish .wishes is because the British Government has not followed the advice of the late Lord Salisbury to 'let actions accompany words rather than lag behind them.' "The true British policy is neither to follow nor to break with France, but to convice hor that there is a better policy than the one which she and Bel-, giuiii are pursuing. The task,- no doubt, difficult, should not be insuperable, but, if intervention is to be successful, it must be backed by . public opinion. No isolated, purely partisan, policy will command ii majority" in Parliament. "There is no really vast difference in the attitude of the three parties on the principal foreign: problem of' the moment. Some form of preliminary agree- j ment, however/ seems absolutely necessary if an effective policy is to be devised. It could be reached unquestionably without a sacrifice.of principles by any party." . . . . '
