THE LEAGUE’S DELAYS
“When on the Feast of St. Francis the Italians bombed the town of Adowa it was not merely a minor African state that endured a brutal aggression; the League of Nations suffered a defeat. This institution then consumed a week in reaching the conclusion that a great power had violated its Covenant. Geneva has taught us to expect this dilatory timidity. Through nine months of this year II Duce has proclaimed his intention to v embark on the war of conquest, and prepared it under our eyes. No single step has this league taken to prevent the outbreak of o, war which all the world knew within a few days the appointed day, and if it toyed with plans of conciliation, it knew in advance that they were destined to rejection.”— H. N. Brailsford in the “New Republic.”
