The British people disapprove of “the frenzied nationalism” as exhibited by the followers of Chancellor Hitler of Germany in anti-Semitic pogroms, but the nation does not intend joining any anti-German federation, David Lloyd George declares in an article published by the Sunday Dispatch.

Accounts of ill treatment accorded minority peoples in Eastern Europe have distressed the English public, continues the famous statesman, but it is recognized that under present conditions there is no international opinion which can be rallied to cure these evils.

“We wish well for the League of Nations,” Lloyd George writes, “but we cannot shut our eyes to its present ineffectiveness. Britain is getting sick of Europe and must attend to the affairs of the British Empire instead of wasting time poking into European squabbling.”
