GERMANY'S LIMITATIONS
NO CRISIS RAISED London, Oct. 18. Lord Lloyd in a broadcast, said even if Germany was rearming she would be unable to attack France. For that reason there was no European crisis. Despite the dangerous atmosphere of suspicion and fear we must renew our commitments and apprise the world of our attitude. Eight years had elapsed since the Locarno Pact, but France still lacked guarantees of security, and therefore could not disarm. Such a policy rieeded revision. Surely the British Parliament and people and not an international body, should be the judges of what constituted aggression. We had decided under no circumstances to fight a preventive continental war. If the treaty bound us to enter a war were we so equipped as to make our entry effective? All desired to see Britain the focal point of a peace international negotiation, but we had not achieved this. If Britain were strong within her borders she could be an example of peace, but if she were overentangled in European problems our peace influence would be marred and our opportunity lost.
