PEACE OR WAR

LEAGUE CRISIS ELEVENTH HOUR CHANCES. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph- -Copyright.) (Received this day at 9.25 a.m) LONDON, Septcjmltjr 25. , Mr Wickham Stead, writing..in the ‘‘Sunday Times”- from Geneva says the Leaguers severest .crisis is at hand, and with it the decision for peacia, or •War. Though many think the German claim for equal armaments governs the position, it is recognised here that it is subordinate to the Far East conflict. If the latter is wisely handled, even at the eleventh hour, the German tactics will not avail to wreck either the League or th© disarmament Conference. Washington and Paris seem .now to realise that peace in the Fat East and Europe is interlocked. ' Britain, United States and France can, if they will, lavert tihe calamity. ’ 'Supremacy itny as a basis of a new world order, for' Which the great war was fought, is now at state. " Japan must be told to'‘adhere to the Lciague.' ’’

DANZIG CORRIDOR, GERMAN INTENTIONS, • DONDON, September 35.: . Another Yeats Brown article in the “Speculator,” declares—“lt is foolish for us to ignore the threat of war. Gierma'iiy intends ( to have the Danzig Corridor for which millions of Gormans are ready to 3hed their blood. The .poles wiU not yield; The best we can hope is that the’ war will be short lived arid not spread.”

GERMANY NT BUDGING. •' 'GENEVA, September 25. Yon Nleurath slaw Mr Henderson on Saturday. Germany has not budgied from her refusal to attend the Disarmament Conference. Von Seekt, father of ; the post-wiaT German army, interviewed, declared s no power on' earth can prevent Germany from igam becoming la- great military power. must not, be surprised if she us^' ) fe'r own means of doing this. She'hak'' waited long enough for others to disarm.' .. "tT,;-.: ’• '.!■. y' :
