ITALIAN THREAT.
IF SUEZ CANAL CLOSED.
FRIGHTFUL WORLD WAR. ROME, May 1. Signer Virginio Gayda is launching a threat that a frightful world war would follow a decision to close the Suez Canal or otherwise directly to assist Abyssinia. He adds that though Italy would deplore such a war, she would, if it were forced on her, face it with all her might. Italy’s army could turn about, increase its strength one hundred-fold and implacably attack new enemies in every corner of the world. The countries to pay the price would be those great Empires which had stretched their tentacles throughout the world.
