The Harmsworth press, as usual, applauds | violent action from anybody, but| apart from this the press is unani- | mous in denunciation of the proceed- ings compared with which Austria’s ultimatum to Serbla seems temperate and reasonable and the German in-. vasion of Belglum a modest experi- ment in brigandage. g Mussolini has taken his cue from | Premier Poincare in the Ruhr, but! has acted crudely and blunderingly where Poincare acted th extraor- | | dinary skill and subtlety. Through- | out, Poincare has sought to carry public opinton of the world with him ! and has worn the velvet glove over the mailed fist, while Mussolinl has flourished the mailed fist in the face of Europe and given it a blow that has aken it to the foundation. England Is Shoeked. The shock to England is particular- Iy heavy. Historically England has a | great afection for Italy dating from |Garibaldian days, but Mussolini's {bomb has aroused indignation in all ( responsible quarters. It is regarded | las a iberate attempt to torpedo ; {the league of nations and to initiate {a game of grab at the expense of lit- tle nations. Has Mussolini overshot the mafrk?' His object is undisguised He wants to consolidate his position in Italy by ia dramatic coup, and the selzure of {Corfu makes the Adriatic an Italian {lake. He calculated that in the pres- ent position of relations betwecn {England and France he could jump the claim afnd present Eur6pe with a fait accompli. He was encouraged In this course ‘by the startling success |of Turkey, which has recovered all jshe lost in the war by playing off ! {France agalnst England. But while | France was willing to give patronage |to the Turk it is much less certain | that she was disposed to back Italy. No love is lost between those coun tries. Moreover, Jugoslavia 1s in a panic at the Itailan move, and at the | i progpect that she has only escaped the claws of Austria to fall into the claws of Italy. France Is indisposed to sacrifice Jugoslavia, which she re- gards as one of her outposts in Eu- | {rope. to Italy, which she nefther loves {nor trusts. inginnd Antagonized. i It is possible, therefore. that Mua- | solini will find ‘that he has fallen be- {tween two stools, and has antago- {nized a friendly ' England without placating an unfriendly France. : Events at Geneva are being fol' lowed with deep concern. Lord Rob- ' ert Cecil realizes that the existencc, of the league of natlons is at stake | through the action of Mussolini, and he is fighting a gallant battle to save the institution of which he, Wilson anda Smuts ware the chief authors. The attitude of France s not ciear but the small nations are supporting Cecll, who has now firmly established himself as the chief hope of all the | pacific forces in Europe. If the {league goes down In this struggle it !will hardly survive the humiliation. If it wins, its prestige is established. ! France holds the key. Her position {is equivocal. Polncare loves neither {Italy nor the league. If he backs | Mussolini it is defiance of the league, {and he parts company with his allfes. | |1f he supports the league he can {hardly refuse to submit to its author- ity himself. What will he do? A very gloomy feeling pervaded the trade union congress at Plymouth this week. A slump in trade has struck labor a deadly blow. The membership of the unions has de- clined by nearly three millions in the [last three vears. It is still worse | that nearly all of the unions are| bankrupt owing to a series of great| i but unsuccessful strikes. It is cer- | tain that the situation will grow | worse during the winter which is | expected to be the most difficult time since the war. | With trade sinking and unemploy {ment increasing the unfons are bank- | rupt. No wonder the delegates met | with long faces and bdd tidings. One result is that the only labor daily in | the country, the' Dally Herald. is expected to cease publication. Hith- erto it has been supported by levies on the unions, but the unions are now too impoverished to carry the burden. ——— FRENCH RADICAL CHIEF COMING HERE TO SPEAK' M.
