FATE OF ABYSSINIA
JOURNAL SEQUESTRATED
ROME, June 6.
The newspaper "Ottobre" has been sequestrated for a vfrulent attack on' Britain which declared that she was Italy's enemy in East Africa as much as Abyssinia. It alleged that Britain had pushed Abyssinia into attacking Italy at Ualual under the eyes of Colonel Clifford, the British representative on the Boundary Commission, and alsa of having inspired Abyssinia to an overweening policy of training Abyssinian troops.
It asserts that Britain risks provoking a European, even a world conflagration. "If she is looking for war she shall have it," it declares. "Italy does not wish to fight Britain's hired assassin, but prefers to settle her account with whoever remains in the shadow of the arming of Abyssinia. We have no fears, having long meditated the consequences of conflict with a great naval Power that is oppressing three-quarters of the world and trying to secure the other quarter. Aeroplanes could, within a few hours, make Malta an un inhabitable rock. Moreover, the last word has not been said regarding Gibraltar and Suez."
