Referring to the speech before

which Sir Samuel pledged Britain's
full adherence to the covenant
against war, Mr.. Lloyd George ex-
pressed the hope that the Foreign
Minister will stand firmly upon
his declaration despite any pres
sure or inducements, when war is
imminent, to induce Britain to fail
to keep her obligations"
Premier MuSsolini, the fiery lit
tie Welshman continued, is not
open to "any appeal or conces-
SionS" so far as his plans for East
African conquest and expansion
are concerned. Mr.. Lloyd George

LEAGUE SNARL
WORST CRISIS
SINCE 1918
International News Service

AnS0EAAtAohAk GNO"b SOTVlC0
Europe today as regarded by
American officials as facing the
most fateful crisis since the guns
stopped firing on the western
front in 1918.
Great Britain's bold challenge
to the League of Nations to
check Italian conquest of Ethiopia
or prepare to witness dissolution
of that peace body was seen as
bringing Europe definitely to the
crossroads of the new order of
peace through collective efforts
or security and war through the
old order of alliances.
Routine State Department af.
fairs were placed aside tenn.
porarily by Secretary of State
Cordell Hull and his chief aides
as they turned anxious eyes to.
wards Geneva.
Officials See Crisis
Officials were inclined to view
the situation created by Britain's
stand as transcending in impor.
tance even such threats to Euro.
pean peace as Germany's rearma.
ment, the Nazi threat in Austria
some time ago, when Premier Mus
Solini rushed legionS to the
Austrian border, and the crisis
that arose between YugosIavia and
Hungary following the aSsassina-
ton of King Alexander.
All of these events were re.
garded as sparks that might have
set Europe aflame, but none, it
was pointed out, actually threaten
ed the foundation on which was
based the collective peace machin-
cry of the Old World. France
Great Britain and Italy were still
standing together and their united
front formed the pillar stones of
the League Of Nations peace
machinery.
Courageous Stand
Now Italy is at odds with the
League and Britain threatens to
walk out. unless the members
stand by their pledges to take &C.
ton against an aggreSSor. Thus,
Europe is seen as confronted with
the choice of risking another
world war in the immediate future
in order to check Italy or witness
ing the doom of the organization
created to prevent a recurrence
OF such catastropheS.
Although the State Department
declined any public comment, Of
ficialS privately expressed high
praise for which what regarded
as Britain's courageous stand.
At the same time, there was a
general feeling of relief that the
United States was not a member
OF the League of Nations. Officials
conceded that if the United States
was now member of the League,
they would at this very moment
be considering the possibility of
this country engaging in another
European war to save a little
black African kingdom from Ital.
ian conquest.

Furthermore, the President
