(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

London, May 11.

Signor Benito Mussolini's annexation of Ethiopia is regarded as a further blow against the British Empire, in addition to climaxing the League of Nations' failure to settle the Italo-Ethiopian dispute.

As a result it is expected that entrenchment of British strength along the route to India and in Africa will prevent the Empire from participating actively in Continental problems, including Germany's reoccupation of the Rhineland.

Well informed quarters consider Signor, Mussolini's promise to respect Brit- ish interests in Lake Tsana a minor matter, in view of the set-back to British pres- tige and the threat to British security in Africa resulting from the annexation of Ethiopia.

London Comment

Londen, May, 11. ****Signor Missouni's proclamation of the annexation of Ethiopia is an act savouring of intoxication of victory! rather than statesmanship," says the Morning Post in an editorial, fo-day.
