LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
CRIPPLED BY ABSENTEES. By Telegraph.— Press Assn —Copyright. London, June 30. Viscount Grey presided at the banquet given by the League of Nations Union to the Dominion Premiers. There were 700 guests, including Princess Alice of Albany, the Earl of Athlone, Lord Robert Cecil, and Mr. Asquith. Lord Grey said he regretted the decision of the United States not to enter the League. They would join them in an attempt to diminish world competition in armaments.
General Smuts, responding, said that so long as Germany, Russia and the United States remained outside the League it must be crippled. The sooner the old enemy countries were admitted the better. The most important thing the League could do for human welfare was to tackle armaments, which question might be the bridge over which the United States would walk to the League.
