ITALY’S ANTI-BRITISH CAMPAIGN
(New York Herald-Tribune.)
Signor Mussolini's bitter reference to the British in con
nection with Italy's Ethiopian adventure has naturally aston
ished outsiders. A dozen years ago the Duce might have
.Hacked the British much as a schoolboy thumbs his nose
at the teacher when school is over. But today he is too
powerful to need to stoop to such gestures. His resentment,
therefore, must be deep-seated and its cause be discoverable
in heretofore unnoticed reasons.
The simple fact is that Italy is determined to brook no
resistance in its campaign to seize Abyssinia. This much
has long been obvious. Italy has dreaded the possible in
terference of Great Britain. In particular has the rumor
that the British might be asked to close the Suez Canal to
Italian military transports and naval vessels aroused grave
uneasness, despite the fact that Britain is pledged to keep
the canal open to the vessels of all nations. The British
press has criticized Italy's plans sharply. The Italian press,
in retort, has even gone so far as to suggest that Italy bom
bard Malta—the British naval base in the Mediterranean.
What has heretofore been unknown to the Western
World, despite rumors and vigorous denials, is that British
officers, members of an Anglo-Ethiopian joint mission, were
present when the Italians attacked the Ethiopians at Oual
Oual early last winter, killing 107 Ethiopians. From an ac
count of this incident in the June edition of ‘'The Round
Table" there can be little doubt that the Italians not only
were the aggressors but attacked this mission far within the
accepted borders of Abyssinia. In other words, the British
have “got the goods on" the Italians—which probably ex
plains why Italy so particularly resents British activity in
behalf of the Abyssinians.
In view of Mussolini’s remarks about the course of em
pire building it is not without interest to consider the con
cluding paragraph of the English article on this incident.
The writer asks whether Abyssinia's independence can
much longer be maintained, and barring this, whether, short
of direct partition among the powers, the answer is to be
found in “the economic development of the Ethiopian Em
pire under the tutelage of one or more European powers,
with the assistance of their capital and to the advantage of
trade ?” Obviously, if more than one power is to par
ticipate. Great Britain will be in the number. So also
aid France. Here is a solution which might be less pain
ful for the King of Kings. Incidentally, it might save the
face of Italy's Duce.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
A lot of citizens in every city “pass the buck” to the
home newspaper to do all the home city boosting. They
should do a little themselves.
Most cities talk much about enforcing safe traffic regu
lations. Some do—some don't.
The wheels of Industry and Commerce will hum only
to the tune of prosperous times when all citizens realize an
individual responsibility to better business.
It is a good idea to express sound sense in plain words.
Speaking about politics, the more we see of it the more
confused we become.
