THE GENEVA MEETING
MR MIbbKN'S CRITICISM
AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION
(Received This Day at 10.40 a.m.)
SYDNEY, March 23
Mr Milieu was entertained by the National Club. He said Great Britain was the l>est League of Nations in the world. He left- Geneva feeling disappointed. H t . found all sides in readiness to make sacrifices, provided the other fellows would make sacrifices. There was an entire absence of the spirit that each would make sacrifices for the common good, without which the League was a myth. Mr Hughes said lie did everything in his power*to make the League effective. Other countries did not appreciate Australia’s ideal, although he hoped in the future the League would convert swords into ploughshares. At present it was impotent as instanced by the recent plight of Poland, when not one sword was sheathed. What chance had Australia twelve thousand miles away. He urged a sure and certain protection was the League of the British Empire.
