BRITISH ATTITUDE.

The whole-hearted acceptance at this date by the British Government of the Sforza solutions, as amended by the League, admits of no doubt whatever, as German Ministers in Berlin, and the German ambassador in London, have good reason to know. It is true that the British representatives, when approached by them with a request for intervention against that solution, felt constrained, owing to the admirable discretion and aloofness maintained by Mr. Balfour at Geneva, to point out that the only circumstantial information at their disposal was that laid before them by Germany herself. But the Marquis Curzon, in his last interview with Dr. Sthamer, was not content, in reply to the German Ambassador’s request for intervention, and the further suggestion that failing such intervention the resignation of the Wirth Cabinet and possibly chaos must ensue in Germany, to advise the latter to await events with greater composure.

The British Foreign Secretary pointed out that any interference with the League Council, or with the judgment of its British member, Mr. A. J. Balfour, was out of the question. As a matter of fact, there are three stages in the present proceedings pertaining to Upper Silesia: 1. The labours of the Commission of Four; 2. The submission of the fruits of their labours to the plenary League Council; 3. The communication of the League Council’s recommendations to the Supreme Council.
