"Italy is making roads through Abyssinia with the avowed intention of colonizing it. The Danakils are doing their utmost to stop the process by killing the roadmakers and their guards. The League of Nations is being strongly urged by our foreign office, represented by Mr. Eden, to assist the Danakils in killing the Italians with the object of stopping the roadmaking and forcing Italy to retire discomforted, leaving the primitive tribesmen triumphant over European civilization ... As between the Danakill warrior and the Italian engineer, I, as a possible traveler or trader in those regions, am on the side of the engineers."
