THE “CANNIBAL”
Air. W. AL Hughes, who has been asked to resign, from the Australian Government, has made no secret of his views about sanctions, says the Evening Standard (London) of November As long ago as August he was saying publicly that “there could be no more certain way of unleashing the dogs of war for another more terrible world conflict,” than for Great Britain to attempt single-handed intervention between Italy and Abyssinia, and he has repeatedly expressed the opinion that economic sanctions are either meaningless and futile or mean war. Temperamentally, he dislikes the League. At the Peace Conference, where he. played so vigorous a part, he expressed his irritation with Wilson rather forcefully. Clemenceau found found him useful when he was having a tussle with the United States delegation. He used to ask Lloyd George to bring his “cannibal” along.
