B,C., TH URSDAY; JU N E 17th. 1937 No. 11 EUROPE Amid all the welter of cross currents, crises and confer- . .s wliich together have constituted the news from Europe n»cent years, there has been observable a conflict be- !u. H-n two main forces,^ both of them, distinguishable by an mivirenl inconsistency in their very consistency. ■ That' conflict, of course, has been and is between the force r ncacu. represented by the British Empire backed by France ■ 111 inactively by Russia, and tha t for war, composed of Gei:- !l anv,'ltaly anddapan. _ , ■ The inconsistency of British policy has lam in its, sudden 'u itch from disarmarfient to re-armament to enforce a policy nfne'ice France, with her clearer racial appreciation of reali- ?i J and'with not even a .river to protect her eastern border, never suffered from any illusion. She was perfectly willing, viv 'inxioLis to preserve the peace of the world but she realized from the beginning tha t the pen had no force except its wiel- wore a sheathed sword. It was their helplessness to save lesser degree have shoWn a certain hesitancy lately in their dealings with a re-armed Britain. Russia, armed to the teeth- but engagê } in a vast speial experiment and with a govern­ ment very .far from safe" in^thb'saddle, as recent events have abundantly proved, has been firm, for peace but from a lack of internal,security rather inactive in supporting such a policy. On the other side Japan has pursued openly a course of territorial aggrandisement by force'pf arms. It is Germany aiid Italy whose policy has displayed such apparent inconsist­ ency in its very obvious consistency. From the first bptli have '"in^tedUirtheifTiesire-for-peacerhave-expressed-theiirwilling-- ness' to acquiqtsce in .pacts'looking towards that object,, have even joined with other nations imseflforts directoed to "the pre- ' veiition of war, such as in the pathol of the seas around the " Spanish coasts. But also from the first, sometimes openly as ' " in the mattei' of the Rhineland and Ethiopia, and sit other times covertly, as inu.their assistance given to the Spanish ip- surgents, they have ever been, out for territory and for blood, r Already it has netted them much land and they are apparently still determined that Spain also' must be theirs, else why the" recent dispatch of largely^increased German navalJforces to Spanish waters? t - -- -- - - - - - OGn«e(i'uently,Jf„we.dQ not \yis^;tp be deceived, we niust watch, hot their sayings and doing^' oh the stageV'b'iit their a'cLroiis behind the-scnes77f6r-it-is-t-here-f-he3^arerWor4aHg-^f^ tll^iFactual purpo.ses.- ' ' . - The i ^ l struggle^for SpiaifTatidTieac'e is yet to wme.
