LEAGUE PRINCIPLES
A TRENCH DIFFICULTY Received July 8, 10.55 p.m. LONDON, July 8. The Times, in a leader expressing the opinion that Signor Mussolini is determined to proceed full speed ahead in Abyssinia, recalls that although the French formerly declared that League principles must prevail, AL Laval at present is faced with the difficulty of implementing his words. “Apparently the French and Italian Governments contend that Britain is illogical and unfriendly in opposing Italy in Abyssinia while refusing at present to commit herself to defend Austria against Germany, says the Times. “In view of this, France and Italy are arrangin ■ closer military collaboration, but the Austrian case is not pressing. Moreover, many Austrians may not be averse to a union with Germany. Britain could noti pledge herself to prevent a voluntary Austro-German federation. On the other hand, the Abyssinian case is urgent, although it is impossible for Britain to act alone. Individual interference will merely expend the conflict and stultify the league’s purpose.”
