PREVENTIVE MEASURES.
“ aow, there is a eonsiueraoie nua ement among the European nations in I'avßur of arbitration, and, so far, wo have bold back from it. I am not going into reasons for or against our action, but I am going to say tliis—we take an immense responsibility if we discourage international arbitration, and 1 should have to he overwhelmingly convinced that acceptance of arbitration was a serious danger to this country before I could agree that we ought not to accept it. In actual practice we have, generally speaking, been ready to accept arbitration when once a dispute lias arisen. Jlut something more than that is required from us if we are going to strike a blow at international suspicion. Wc have got to get arbitration established before the disputes occur as the normal way in which they can be settled. Nations, like individuals, must look to law and not war as the regular way of dealing with international controversy.”—Lord Cecil, in his first speech since he left the Cabinet, to the General Council of the League of Nations Union.
