'17th September 1928. The Geneva conference between the six powers has ended in the happy decision that the Rhineland evacuation question may now be discussed. Good God. What have they been doing all these years? The session of the league has been so overshadowed by this vicious and farcical conference that it has hardly appeared in the press, and not at all in the paper I have been buying the last few days ? ?Le Journal?. The end is not far off. I suppose the League will exist until the next war breaks it, but its power is ebbing fast. In fact, from a diplomatic viewpoint it is dead. What a chance has been lost, and how culpable are those statesmen who by this attitude and their actions have willed it so.'
