SANCTIONS.
The League's sanctions will become operative next Monday, and on the same day Italy will herself virtually suspend all trade with those countries which participate in collective action against her. From the economic viewpoint alone it is a depressing prospect. The blocking of the channels of a considerable part of the Mediterranean trade would be serious enough at a time of world prosperity; at this time, when recovery from the depression—slow, uncertain and halting, but perceptible—is under way, it may have calamitous results. The fact that the blame is attributable to Italy, and that Italy will be the chief sufferer, is slight consolation, for the other Powers could not contenvplate with anything but alarm the prospect of Italy's economic collapse.
