OMINOUS OUTLOOK
GRAVE PRESS COMMENTS
WAR FLAMES BEING FANNED,
LONDON, 31st August. The- "Daily Express's" lobbyist says the Greco-Italian crisis has assumed an ominous outlook, owing to the Italians seizing Corfu. The situation is regarded with anxiety, but the British Government is not without hope that Signor Mussolini will eventually allow the dispute to be settled by arbitration. Britain will certainly, support Greece's application to the League of Nations, and already has sent instructions to that effect to the British delegates at Geneva. Government quarters regret Signor Mussolini's action. ■•
The "Daily Express" in an editorial says: "Italy seems determined to force Greece into a complete fulfilment of Signor Mussolini's arbitrary and harsh terms. The first action of aggression has already been taken in the seizure of Corfu. The war flames are being fanned. If confined to Greece and Italy there might be hope for an adjustment. Unfortunately there is an exact parallel in Serajevo. The result may inflame the Balkans in a dreadful war, the end of which no ona can see. Everyone's hopes and prayers must be, even at the last minutes of the eleventh hour, that war may be averted."
