PEACE BY WHIMSY

Confronted by what is admitted to be the worst international crisis since the War, the League of Nations has done all that was expected of it--nothing. The enraged Flandin of a week ago has cooled down under the soothing effects of Eden's dilatory tactics and has even been induced to reach into the international grab-bag to pull out whatever he can. His plum consists of the proposal that a demilitarized zone policed by British and Italian troops be set up in the Rhineland, an offer which M. Flandin must know as well as Eden that the Hitler government will in no way accept.

It will be no more than the final piece of irony in League history if the thwarting of the French wish for security succeeds in averting European war. At the moment no other outcome of the skir-mish at London seems likely. Less than two weeks ago Flandin journeyed across the Channel demanding nothing less than war on Germany to remove the troops from the Rhineland. Since that stormy day, crushed by elephantine proctocol and the reluctance of Britain to see beyond her nose, France has recognized the hopelessness of her position. The Neutral Zone plan was foisted upon French statesmen with the "take it or leave it" attitude in which Britain has always been an expert.

The Locarno Pact has been quietly embalmed, but the ghost may walk to plague Britain yet. In such a crisis a conciliatory attitude borders dangerously upon ineffectiveness, and in this case the border has been overstepped. Hitler should feel no more bound to accept this solution than any other which has previously emanated from London. Once again the League has so expertly confused the issue and undermin¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ "¢„¿ 24/03/1936 News 3 CREWS SHAPE UP FOR VACATION PRACTICE 7 or 8 Shells to Row During Recess as Few Changes Are Made in Initial Week

In preparation for the vacation workout, the Varsity, Freshman, and 150-pound crews have been taking shape during the week of open water. The coaches are just about settled on whom to keep over the recess and the serious work, only possible when more or less stability in seatings has been attained, is now beginning.

Only one change has been made in the Varsity boat since the first, day on the water, namely the substitution of Atherton for John Gardiner at number 5, due to a temporary difficulty in scheduling the rowing time of the different shells. In the Jayvee boat other than the Atherton-Gardiner swap, no changes were made either, until after the practice yesterday, when Roger Cutler was shifted out of stroke to the number 2 oar and John Clark put in his place. Roosevelt will move out of the number 2 seat to take over Clark's place at 6. The third boat stroked by Ed Simmons, the pace-setter in the 1935 Yale race, has exchanged a couple of men with the number IV boat, but when the latter boat is dissolved in a day or so Whiteside will probably select two or three of the best men to take positions in the third eight.
