The whole world is eagerly watching the meeting of the League of Nations at Geneva which will attempt to arbitrate the question of Manchuria. For three weeks China and Japan have -virtually been in a state of war; for three weeks Manchuria has been virtually occupied by a hostile army. Despite the more pacific pronouncements of the Japanese Government, the Japanese army and navy have gone ahead as if war had been declared-and the Government has remained in office! This has been a very bad week for those who believe that the United States forever fortified and safe guarded democracy in Europe by winning the World War. The news from Germany tells of the practically complete abolition of republican government.
