PSYCHOLOGICAL BLUNDER. Ministers again speak of the righteousness of their motives. Is there not a real danger that the lady may protest too much? In the eyes of other countries, even the most friendly, do we not seem to arrogate to ourselves, with the old falling, a peculiar and axelu-

virtue? We ...Alve

Bre subject throughout the world to the or dinary realism of human Jude 'ment; and though on the whole it is entirely just to so much that is genuine in the idealism of our sanctionist crusade, to recognise the egitimate admixture

It is not, and it cannot be, true that British statesmen ar (31 should be indifferent to the vital British interests, so nearly touched In this matter, for which they are

the trustees. Repeated protesta tion to the contrary only does us harm. It is the world's bellet, even where opinion is most favourable to

us, that if Manchuria had border- ed on the Red Sea our action would have been d'fferent then, and that if Abyssinia had been a thousand miles from Egypt our action would have been different now.

In the same way a false and jarring note is struck when Minis- ters protest that they chasten Italy because they love her-so tar as they can allow themselves to have any ordinary British feelings in the case. They say in effect that they cannot allow themselves to be influenced by anything but those mathematical emotions culi- ed League feelings. Guided by these astral ur-spectral attributes, they are regrettably but unavolt- ably compelled to organise the most ingenious and persistent hoя- cilities short of war that have ever been directed against a Great Pr wer. This policy, if successful, would overthrow Signer Mussolini

instinct of the majority of the country dreads and abhors is the riak that the same temper of self- deceived confidence may lead to the disaster of a wider war. The sober bulk of the nation wants to know once for all whither it is be- ing led. Are we to be led from now forward towards the 'sure purposes of European peace and our own; or towards the early possibility of wider war in a situation so tense and strained that place will lie at the mercy of accident?

Even the economic sanctions al- ready undertaken or impending will result in more permanent and

rreparable injury to our own trade and commerce-especially to our coal and slipping-than to those of any other nacion. Italy will find other sources of supply in this con fict and still more afterwards. It

is already certain that our own

lasting loss will be Germany's gain; and that the ripercussions to our Prejudice will be felt in the end throughout an extending area of Europe. We may put a ban on Ita-

lina exports to Britain. The les- son will not be forgottin. The de- velopment of economic nationalism
