...Ramsay MacDonald still rang big, and last week this hoary Scot was again in the chairman's seat of what looked like a full-size International Conference of the sort he loved so well as British Prime Minister. Once more, and perhaps for the last time, the imposing Locarno Room of the Foreign Office echoed to his noble Scottish burr. Mr. MacDonald today holds the British Cabinet sinecure of Lord President of the Council at $10,000 yearly, is slated to be raised to the peerage soon and retire on a pension of $10,000. Severe eye trouble caused...
...Majesty's Government has not lost hope in devoting its efforts to maintain peace by a pact to take the place of the old Locarno Pact with the old Locarno powers. I think it may well be in the immediate future that the most hopeful prospect is the prospect of the regional pact. It is worth anything and everything in Europe today to get a feeling of security -at any rate in one part-from which that security, if once attained, may spread to other parts of the Continent.

Bereft of British help, the loud fury of the French had soon to subside. The Surprise-of-1937 last week...
...Germany obtains Italian support for her contention that Russia should be excluded from the drafting of a new Locarno Pact by Britain, Italy, France and Germany only. Belgium, which has just resumed her historic Neutrality, would also be left out; France would be virtually detached from her alliance with Russia; and the "New Locarno" would be a great step toward setting up the hierarchy envisioned by Il Duce's Four Power Pact...
