...Paul-Boncour, the "first circle" would be a World Treaty by which all nations would pledge themselves to act (instead of merely talking) in the spirit of the Briand-Kellogg Pact. The "second circle" would be a treaty, definite and precise, pledging action under the League Covenant and the Locarno Pacts, both of which documents have been taken not too seriously in the past. "The completion of these first two circles," said M. Paul-Boncour, "will make possible a third, more restricted, limited to a certain number of nations."

From the Flames. Tall and purposeful Chancellor Chamberlain faced the world last week resolved to play a role not smaller than that which his brother Austen attempted at Locarno.

When the War broke, Shaw saw in its confusion a good opportunity for Socialists to snatch a political victory, told them "there are only two real flags in the world henceforth: the red flag of Democratic...
...policy was the joint creation of himself and Secretary Kellogg. It may be suggested that the realistic and even cynical Briand was not deceived by the glib pretenses of the pact, but even so he was eminently the man to gauge its psychological value. More important was the Locarno Treaty, which made an epoch in Franco-German diplomacy, and in which the influence of Streseman was vital. The League of Nations, though not of his creating, has taken deeply the color of his personality, and will in all likelihood continue to move, for both good and evil; along the lines...
