Chamberlain says sanctions against aggression are unsound
In a frank 1936 Canberra Times piece Neville Chamberlain declares that continuing sanctions is midsummer madness and that the League of Nations has been shown unable to deter a strong aggressor. He argues that alliances and military commitments within the League are needed to enforce peace, noting that nations outside the League undermine its purpose. The article links Britain's stance to broader policy shifts in the Abyssinia crisis and warns that the League’s ideals risk loss if vital interests are not protected.
