ARE SANCTIONS WORTH WHILE ?
HILE yuahA mwadbt andjn Zhwtlie “The lifting of sanctions,” says the London “Daily Telegraph,” is, a matter for the League, which imposed them practically unanimously. Thhy were the policy of the League in an earnest endeavour to establish a new rule of law in the world. Behind its action in supporting that policy the British Government had the warm support of the overwhelming majority of the people of this country. That sanctions failed in their sole purpose of preventing successful aggression against Abyssinia is acknowledged. But failure to effect their end does not imply that they were useless. Italy would not .be so desirous of having them lifted if they had done her no harm and if their continuance now were not increasing her internal distress. The question for the League to decide is whether, now that sanctions cannot save Abyssinia and the war for all practical purposes is over, it is worth while to continue them for whatever punitive effect they have.”
