THE WORK OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
PROFESSOR’S LECTURE THAT the atmosphere that made possible the last war was the clashing of economic interests, and that the League of Nations was making a definite attempt to eliminate such factors in the future, was the trend of an address delivered yesterday by Dr. H. Belshaw to the League of Nations Union. He said that the League was primarily founded to prevent war, but it was soon found that economics and politics were so closely inter-related that the League had to undertake economic work. He surveyed the great problems of the world to-day, giving his opinion that the most important were the competition for raw materials, particularly over rubber and oil, the conflict of economic ideas between Russia and the rest of the world, the rise of the United States as the great creditor nation, and the question of over-popu-lation.
