MUSSOLINI INDICTED
AN UNNECESSARY WAR.
AGAINST A WEAK NATION.
(Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 12.20 p.m.) London, September 16. The Times, in an editorial, says: "II Duce defends his determination to proceed with the most deliberate and most unnecessary war in modern history by reference to Italy's huge efforts and sacrifices; in other words, his lavish preparations to invade Abyssinia, at the same time advances the menace of the preponderating Abyssinian forces, which is violently paradoxical because of his description of the primitive community's measures to reply to the imminent aggression. "His irrefutable documentation of the Italian case cannot establish the right of aggression as being more sacred than the Italian pledges of peace. Mussolini launches Italy upon his adventure, turns his back on his obligations and upon the dissent and disapproval of the civilised world. Demagogy no less than democracy cannot escape recourse to public opinion in the end."
