The prospect of Sir John Simon proceeding to Berlin and, perhaps, to Warsaw and Moscow, after fis long-standing engagement in Paris has been fulthed, is reassuring to those who realize the danger of allowing the active elements for the con~ solidation of European peace to lose vitauty. Sir John is not likely to embark on this tour without reason able promise of its producing satisfactory results for he has shown an acute perception of the disadvantagee of peregrinatory tendencies in the holder of his high office. Fortunately the Lord Privy Seal's special depute Hon on certain missions has effec. tively combined modern practice with observance of well-established tradi-Hons. The presence of the Foreign Secretary in Moscow. will be an interesting event, if it materializes and the fact that it is being urged by s0 large a section of the Tespon~ sible British Press affords a further Proof of the growth of international Confidence. It is to be hoped that these tendencies will encourage 1 influences to prevail in the Fettiement of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute.
