Lord ‘Robert's Geneva declarations concerning the league of nations were neither opportune or effective.

The result is that when the league faces a decision for the enm- forcement of which force may prov: necessary it is impotent. Consequent- 1y, it was imprudent to seek to en- list it in a cause where it must soon confess its lack. of power, Says England Suspiclous: T cannot help adding that the way In which Lord Robert Cecll poses in England’s' nsme a8 the defende: memories. 8ifice the war, England has been susplcious of the small nations united or aggrandized by victory.
