WARM FAREWELL
SELASSIE AT GIBRALTAR
(Received June 1, 12.45 p.m.)
LONDON. May 31,
The "News-Chronicle's" Gibraltar correspondent says that though demonstrations were officially discouraged, a small crowd warmly farewelled Haile Selassie as he embarked on the Orford for England.
Asked whether he would have made peace earlier if his hopes of successfully defending Abyssinia had not been encouraged by Britain, Haile Selassie emphatically answered in the negative, adding that illegitimate methods of warfare such as the destruction of Red Cross units and the use of poison gas were the deciding factors.
