CARRY OUT HIS

Comment By The Manchester Guardian"

ITALY WILL NOT LEAVE THE LEAGUE

UNLESS FORCED OUT

London. August 20.

Treason is precisely the word describing the action of Signor Mussolini-treason towards the allies of the Great War, post-war friends and helpmates, and above all to that civilization which stands or falls with the present order, states the "Manches- ter Guardian" in a leading article on the Abyssinia dispute.

Signor Mussolini is not animated, by old-fashioned imperialism but by the more "terrible co-imperialism of the. Fascist State. His country, bitter with poverty, is reduc- ing her millions of peasants and workmen to a deprivation as terrible as any in Europe, but it is being adorned with expensive and useless marble monuments that ape the splendours of ancient Rome while he attempts to found an Empire:

Can Signor Mussolini carry put his ambitious plans without euch expenditure as will weaken the economic foundatous of his rule? Is Mussolini sure that he can hold Austria when his men are perishing from disease, bullet and spear wounds in Africa with prolonged and difficult warfare exhausting his reserves?

Will Mussolini found his Fascist Empire only to despoil all his power and in:" fluence on the European continent by 36

"land begins we shall know where the chief responsibility falls, and if it is the power and influence of Fascist Italy that is displaced, then Mussolini must explain it this people. Reuter.
