THE IMPORTANCE OF CORFU
LONDON, Ist September. The "Daily Telegraph," in an "editorial, regards the Greek reply as adequate, and proceeds to'remark: "We have been! loth to think there is any arnere pensee behind the Italian Note, but the occupation of Corfu, even though it prove to be momentary, is omi"tious, when one remembers that ten years ago the Corfu Channel figured pro- . minenUy m the rival claim* of Italy and Greece-at the time of the, Treaty of London. By their present action the Italian Government is «nlarging 'the bounds of the quarrel in a most dangerous way."
Th» "Morning Post" saye: "Apak from the treaty of 1864, it is obvious that the occupation of Corfu, with it« high strategic importance in the Mcdi ierranean, is an affair that must seriously perturb every Power with a Mediterranean fleet. It is impossible to dismiss the sense of disquietude and a. desire for explanations and assurance in face of such a startling development." The "Westminster Gazette" states that if Signor Mussolini v has evidence that the Greek Government is responsible for the murders he should produce it in the proper_ place, which is befor* the League of Nations. "The Daily Herald" saye : "This is plainly a test case for the League o* Nations."
