LETTER TO KING
DISPATCH OF WARSHIPS I FRENCH PAPER’S PROTEST ASKS BRITAIN TO HESITATE ACTION VIOLATES ARTICLE 10? J EO[’ARDISES PEACH. [By Telegraph—Tress Association —Copyright) Received Jan. 13, 10 p.m. PARIS, Jan. 13. The Right Wing Le Matin conspicuously prints an open letter to King George protesting against the despatch of British warships to the Mediterranean. It says: ‘ ‘ This is almost as serious a menace to the principles of Geneva as Signor Mussolini’s aggression in Abyssinia, as Article Ten contains a warning against individual action which might change guarantees of peace into risks of war.” The letter concludes: “May your Government, Sire, take thought today, as it should have done in 1914, and the lives of millions would be saved. We hope you will meet these inescapably logical reflections with the noble spirit, justice and clear-sightedness with which you have always consecrated your great nation and the peoples of your far-flung Empire.”
