Aware af Weakness First of all Geneva Is sadly aware of the fact of failure in the Manchurian affair After nearly four years not only has Its Intervention come to nothing but Japan is ghH advancing Today no new resource is resident in league hands to clothe its action with new authority of fresh power To act again must therefore be to fail again Beyond that moreover lies the not less disturbing truth that to intervene means to insure that with Utmost promptitude Italy will join Japan and Germany In quitting Geneva And since the United States is absent four of the seven great powers will thus be missing The present problem is far more complex than the Manchurian! when Geneve risked all and lost all because none of the great powers represented in the league felt called upon openly and frankly to prevent league action For the moment at least Japan was Isolated If as Mt£timion soon discovered no European power was ready to contribute force to insure the enforcement ef the law none was prepared to prevent moral condemnation of Japanese action such s eventually found expression in the Lytton report Has French Consent But In the case’ of Italy France has just made an entente with her southeastern neighbor dictated by common fear of the rising threat ©f German policy fn central Europe And one of the tacit if not formal details of that Rome agree- ment of recent date was French recognition of Italy’s right to deal s she chose with Ethiopia Thirty years ago when France and Great Britain made a similar agreement also dictated by common fear of Germany one of the considerations for France was a free hand in Morocco and for Britain a similarly free hand in Egypt Consequent upon that Anglo- French bargain was another by which France and Britain recognized the Italian right to wrest Tripoli from Turkey and make it her own a step which led jn- - no long time to-- the Turko-ftaliawar of 1912 And while the British relation to the new Ethiopian hunting license of Italy is obscure it is clear that et a moment when the English are trying to get Germany back into the league for purposes connected with their own interests and security they have an obvious reason for not supporting any action which might lead to Italian withdrawal Sam Old Story There is the situation then Italy b embarking upon a new program of imperialism which like the Japanese adventure in Manchuria can Only be successful as Italian force succeeds in crushing Ethiopian re- distance and extinguishing Ethiopian independence The operation may take years it may be pursued s France pursued her so called ‘pacification” of Morocco by eat ' lng up outlying provinces one one as an artichoke is eaten by But what we are seeing isafresh- disclosure of a familiar phenomenon nev example of old imperialism Now it is essential to examine this IUliaa performance at close range for a moment because otherwise its significance will be mistaken Italy is going to Ethiopia s Japan went to Manchuria— to seek some solution of its double problem of overpopulation and insufficient material resources Like Japan Italy is a country which finds Its present difficult and its future imperiled because it lacks the means to insure a decent standard of living for its great population Mussolini's phrase was "Italy must expand or explode”' and it applies to Japan as well Life Death Matter The attempt of the league to arrest Japanese aggression failed because the Japanese saw their Manchurian expansion as a matter of life and death and were prepared to fight rather than abandon Any attempt to halt Italian aggression would precipitste a similar crisis Since however no country thought Manchuria worth the price of armed intervention as no ration now regards the fate of Ethiopia as wqrth the bones of a single national soldier nothing was and othinf will b done in either case 1 - - fmerf a p t Americans— have acquired all that id the moment we think we need Our concern Is therefore to prevent future wars In which we may lose our possessions in the same ' way we acquired them Forced by COndltUna intending aggressor - to renounce his purpose And means of coerBut consider once "more the relacion and capacity for persuasion tive share of the resources of the are both alike absent v earth belonging to 200000 000 ©f In addition while it is customary Germans Japanese and Italians on to denounce Japanese and Italian the one hand and a similar numaction and German purpose it is ber t of British Americans and j these are that nations what plain French on the other - Note also now planning to do in Asia Africa under the present practices of that and Europe are performances in- economic nationalism both 'Gerdistinguishable from those of peomany and Italy not merely are ples who are now critical France faced by the future prospect of a conquered Morocco Great Britain declining standard of living hut crushed the South African repubare experiencing the first phases lics even the United States “took of such a decline There is no Panama within the memory pllufe rent-way-out torHherrrtave the Now are countries these ingman way Japan has taken!
