A surprise Premier Benito Mussolini offers to stand by France and England. And that means no oil sanctions against Italy because a greater peril than the invasion of Ethiopia threatens European peace. And Poland is on the spot. Always to the east is Red Russia, and to ward off that menace, is it better to tie up with Fascist Germany or be able to call again on the French military talent which turned back the Red invasion ? News dispatches state that Poland will follow France but it is doubtful if a final decision has been made, although it is probable that Poland will at least for the moment back France, knowing that Germany only awaits a favorable hour to recover the polish corridor.

Will it come? No. Not now. Great Britain is the deciding factor and no British government can stand ten minutes if it involves the nation in war. Do not forget that many in England are inclined toward Germany. Many And above all, dislike France. do not forget the great peace vote in England. There will be talk and threats but no war.
