to have Pacts at all, carrying out the intentions of the Covenant, we must, to whatever degree may be necessary, pledge ourselves to do police work against wanton aggression when called Amon. Quite a different light is thrown upon the 'matter when we understand that the League cannot call for action except in cases of wanton aggression, and that if members of the League show a united front against the schemes of a criminal aggressor the danger of the crime being committed will be reduced almost to vanishing point. In other words, the only sane policy for those who belong to the League is, in season and out of season, to strengthen the hands of the League and support its authority. That, we are glad to think, is actually the policy of Mr. Baldwin's Govern- ment.
