Britain's Policy in Abyssinia

SARCASTIC COMMENT BY NEWSPAPER. SAYS PUT V/ORLD IN TURMOIL. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. ROME, February 20. The “I’opclo d’ltalia’’ says the flimsy contention that the British attitude was intended to support the League had now definitely crumbled. The truth is, that the result of the British policy has been simply disastrous. She had put the world in a turmoil and God knows, wl.en tho waters will be stilled. Does it pay England to persist in this obstinacy when there are arguments like the armies of Badaglio’s and Graziani’s. We can afford the luxury of advising her to revise her attitude and quote for Britain’s notice, tue _intin proverb, “It is human to err, but dclivish to persist in error.’’ Redounds to British Credit Received Friday, 7 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 21. The Times Rome correspondent says that diplomatic quarters too, regard the publication of.the document as inexplicable as the impression is universal that it redounds greatly to British credit and shows departmental experts to be men of wide vision and noticeable impartiality and moderation. The Daily Mail’s Rome correspondent poiuts out that other circles regard the document as important because it confirms that Mussolini, in January 1935, offered to discuss the Abyssinian situation. %
