ITALY AND ABYSSINIA
Sir, —Great Britain, with a reluctant and indifferent France in attendance, hopes to preserve peace among the nations. Had France declined to_ make it possible for the League of Nations to function, would Italy now be making overtures to Germany? A weak League acting with the best intentions and highest principles to settle disputes between nations is actually exciting international warfare. To defend England and her outposts, we would fight to the last ditch, with the last coin. The instinct of self-preservation, however, should cause those in authority at Whitehall to be aware that interference in wars outside the Empire, as practically sole arbitrator, is quite beyond the exercise of our national resources. J. A. Burnett.
