So far there

the

It

The

Londoi:;,
Nov. 28th.—''This
seems
a
sombre
hour
for the
general
prospects
i{or the reace
and security
of the world’’,
writes
Mr.
Garvinin
the ‘‘Sunday
Ob-
server’’ referring
to
the
United
States
action
in
blocking
the
Treaty
and
the
League
of Nations '‘either civilization will
end
the
war,
or war will end civilizarion,
at least
the white typ2of it’”’.
He
con-
tinues:
‘‘And the
action
of
the
Senate
seems
like
a
moral
collapse
of
the
American
front.”” Mr. Garvin emphasizes
tite dangers
which
will follow
by
the
Tnited ~ States
aetion,
but
believes
however
hopefully
t.at
‘‘five,
seven
or ten difficult
years
will
see
achieved,
the greatest
constructive
purposes
of
an
orvanized
international
peace’’.
Sum-
ming up will follow
if
the
rejection
of
the
Treaty
is
final,
the
writer
adds
“Kurove
would be
left to
grapple
with
a sicua.ivn
which would never
have taken
SO

ominous
a torm
could
it
have
foreseen
America’s
refusal
to guar-
antee

France
would
be abandoned
in a manner
to which the
term
friendship
could
not
longer
be
applied.
Every
reactionary
agency
in Burope
would
be
encouraged
on
the
one
hand
while
every
revolu-
tionary force in
the world would be stim-
ulated
on the
nther
and
the Internatioral
regard
for
the
United
States
and
its
people
would
be
lowvered
from
the pin-
pacleon
which it has stood.
The President
would stand
ia his
history
as
a warning
to
all
naiions
against
placing
any
re-
liance
in
ine
United

Financidl
exchange
might still
favour
the
United
States
but the moral
exchange
tarough-
out

world
would
move
against
the
American
name.
KEvery

would

a decree convoking the Chamber of
é)eputies
in special
session
on
December
th.
Washineton,
Nov.

The
Presi-
dent’s
annual
message
to

will

until Tuesday,
it
was
said
today
at the

House.
1t
is

to cover

wide
range
of
sub-
jects with particular
attention
to
the

situation.
President

the
message
for
two
weeks

to depart

London,
Nov.
20th.-The
question
whether
the
Jovernment
shall
embark
on
a poliey
of raising
money
by
lottery
methods,
will come
up
before
the
House
of Commons
tomorrow
when
the
bpropo-
sals
for an
issue
of premium
bonds
will
be
dis~russed.
The
proposals
have
a
warm
popular
following,
but
it
is
be-
ing stronely opposed
by bankers,
church-
men and
others
on
the
general
ground
that
it
would
constitute
gambling,
lower
the
national
financial
prestige
and
demoralize
the
public.
Supporters
of the
measure
contend
that
the
lure
of
big
prizes
would
draw
out
at
least
£100,0)0,000,
which the
Treasury
could
not
get
by
ordinary
means.
The
Ca-
binet
has
adopted
an
attitude
of
neu-
tralitv in the matter
and will simply
put
the question
before
the
House
of
Com-
mons
end let the members
decide.
Mr.
Lloyd Jeorge,
M:. Bonar
Law and
other
leaders
are
believed
to disapprove
of the
scheme.
The Archbishop of Canterbury
has
denounced
it
and
sermons
were
preachd
against
it in many
of
the
non-
conforinists
churches
throughout
the
country today.
