Another Triumph For Anthony Eden
"TERRIBLE YOUNG MAN WHO
WANTS PEACE."
BEAT THE IRON-FISTED DUCE
Received Sunday, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, May 26,
The newspapers enthusiastically pay tribute to Mr. Anthony Eden, who is described as that "terrible young man who wants peace so badly." They declare he scored his greatest success when he persuaded the iron-fisted Mussolini to change his mind after a tense long-range duel. When the text of the League resolution was originally sent to Mussolini it was telegraphed back from Rome a disfigured mass of mutilation. Mr. Eden and M. Laval sent the resolution back in its original form only to have it returned with fewer mutilations.
The Duce, then desiring the elimination of League intervention in the event of the Italo-Abyssinian Treaty breaking down, Mr. Eden realised that the League might founder thereon and reasserted himself, countering Baron Aloisi'a attempt to turn the "League would meet" into the "League may meet," upon which Mr. Eden and M. Laval fought for 35 minutes and eventually won, resulting in the resolution being for the third time despatched to the Duce, who accepted it. A Geneva message says the League closed with a shower of bouquets for Mr. Eden. Baron Aloisi praised Mr. Eden's broadminded comprehension and expressed appreciation of his achievements.
