Venice.
Mussolini considers the proposed
invasion of rights which Abyssinia
has for centuries regarded as soy
ereign entirely justified by circum-
stances.
/, When I put to him the question
whether, should he cross the Abys-
sinian frontier it would be consid-
cred a breach of international law
and an act of war, he looked me
squarely in the eye and replied:
Invasion of sovereign rights
has been in progress for centuries
Where is there a nation today
which, during it's history, has not
invaded the sovereign rights Of
. others? Take the United States
DHow did you push your frontier
back?
What about the invasion of
sovereign rights in your war of the
seceSsion?"
II Duce made his reply in direct,
distinct and clear phrases. He left
no doubt in my mind that Italy is
odt to annex by arms or argument

Interested In America
What MusSolini told me coincid-
ed with what I had learned from
other Italian officials. who said
Italy was determined to continue
her efforts to reach her aspirations
in East Africa" In other words,
the goal is either a protectorate or
full sovereignty over the country.
Mussolini was intensely interest
ed in American public opinion, and
especially inquired about our reaC-
ton to the Abyssinian venture.
I told him the United States, it
seemed to me, was unanimous in
upholding the principle that a ma
tons sovereign rights should be
maintained inViOlate. The answer
left him unmoved and unperturbed
The premier went on to justify
his intended invasion of Abyssinia
on the grounds that other ma
tions had acquired territorial l
rights and new colonies during the
entire past century through the in
Vasion of sovereign rights of weak
er and less developed countries.
1 found Mussolini interested in
all subjects dealing with world eco
nomics, and particularly in the ef-
forts of the United States to re-
cover from the depression. He was
also eager to learn my impression
of his own country after my trip
through it.
It was p. m, after he had re-
ceived half a dozen ambassadors,
a number of senators and several
under-secretaries that I met him,
yet he appeared fresh, tireless, Vir-
lie, aflame with energy. When he
heard or advanced any new point,
his eyes flashed.
