Italy prepared actively for an aggres-
sive war against Ethiopia. while the
League of Nations made feeble and,
as it developed, totally Intellectual at
tempts to prevent it. On October 3
the war began in the form of an
Italian invasion of Emperor Halle Sc

League all Of a sudden became excited
and OF Octooer 10 denounced Italy as
an aggressor who had violated GER

part of the League constitution: ii
even went so far AS to vote-52 to 8
in favor of applying punitive sane

could easily manage that job by shut
ting off all supplies to the violator of
the League covenant: could stop the
attack without resorting to arms.

would have stopped the Italian on

seen war clouds lowering over a hor-
ror-struck world.
But the trouble was that the sane

and by allowing products as essential
to modern warfare as oil. coal and
steel to pour into Italy without him
drance of any kind.

started discussing it.
