LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
LEAGUE IN DANGER. AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. LONDON. Sept. 12. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Genova correspondent says :—‘Not since September 9th. hats a greater danger existed of the collapse of the League of Nations than at present. Many of the countries would gladly withdraw, owing to the heavy financial burden. Italy, two years ago, found the cost of membership equalled the cost of her diplomatic service. New Zealand pays £G0.()00 to the League every year, while India pays £IO,OOO every week. The League’s Budget for 1924, is estimated at nearly twenty-five million gold frarn-s. It is suggested that if the League devoted itself to its ono main purpose —namely, the prevention of war—its expenditure would bo halved. KIR JAMES ALLEN CHAIRMAN.
