The Independent Labour Party, as a part of its election campaign, issued a manifesto to-day accusing, the Government of preparing for war in the Mediter- ranean in "defence of imperial interests.' The mani- festo criticises the Labour Party for endorsing the anti-Italian sanctions.

Meanwhile, in the international sphere, competent observers express the opinion that Great Britain will oppose either open or veiled Italian annexation of the Tigre Province of Ethiopia, which is regarded as an Amharic región belonging to the Selassie tribes, where- as Italy contends it should be an Italian colony or! mandate.

London, Oct. 28. Mr. Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister of Britain, speaking at Wolverhampton at the opening of his elec- tion campaign, referred to the risk of blockade arising out of future sanctions. But, he said, he would never sanction Great Britain instituting a blockade of that kind unless the Government was assured of sympathetic support from Ameriça, Germany and Japan.

Regarding armaments, there had been no question in Britain of constructing huge war weapons.

"What we want," he explained, "is to replace pre- War naval construction with modern ships.

The problem presented to the world was no less than this- are differences, when they arise. between nations, to be solved by war, or can they be solved by the process of law, as used in private diferences?
