NOTES OF THE DAY

GRINDING EXCEEDING SMALL

The wheels of the Gods, and the wheels at Geneva, grind slowly, but It may be that they do an equally thorough job. Mr. David Lloyd George, however, feals that the League has been altogether too slow in getting started with its plan of sanctions against Italy. Italy, he believes, hnd ample warn- ing of the danger of such penalties and prepared for them, and in con- sequence the sanctions will not serve the purpose for which they aro required. They will not halt the war in East Africa. They will

THE

LEAGUE AND THE CRISIS Liberal and Labour politicians arc inveighing against the British Government for its al- leged dilatoriness in connection with League action to restrain Italy in her war of conquest in Ethiopin. Such attacks were to be expected in the course of the election campaign.

If sickness came into their homes and babies died more often than they lived-they did not send for a doctor. Only old Doctor Kismet.

And so altogether, the truly great thing which Mustapha Kemal did was to take this Kis- met for a ride.
