General Maurice Says England Favors League
Major General Sir Frederick Maurice, former director of military operations, argued that a league of nations offers the only hope to prevent war and should be supported by a large British majority.

He cited wartime grief of mothers in Britain and France as a factor shaping opinion toward preventing future war, and said France seeks to curb Germany as security for its safety.
