"A CLOUD OVER EUROPE."
London Times Report, July 27, of Speech by Under Secretary
Acland.

F.D. Acland, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, speaking at an
open-air Liberal demonstration at Steyning, Sussex, on Saturday [July
25], said there was a cloud over Europe, the position there being far
graver and more serious than the position in Ireland. No one could
imagine the disasters which a war in which a great European power was
involved might bring to the whole world. He hoped the power of
accommodating the difficulties in the same way as in the Balkan trouble
last year would be found effective. The whole of the influence of this
country would be used in the interests of peace.
