Jammed with instructions for strengthening the Empire’s political and military position about Ethopia, Great Britain does not intend to become a lone policeman to enforce the covenant provisions of the League of Nations and will insist other powers take some definite ac- tion with her in policing the trou- ble zone. ) i I3 t i t B i i - Sigmund Levaneffsky (left) Soviet airmen who will attempt a San Francisce via the North Pole.
