League in Peril Over War Issues
Geneva April 20 The League of Nations faces peril due to its failure to end the Italo Ethiopian war. British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden warns that if nations do not act collectively they should not expect Britain’s help and that Britain may abandon the League if collective security proves futile. A clash with Italy over poison gas underscores the crisis as Ethiopia appeals for real aid. The council adjourned to May 11, and Eden calls a re-examination of collective security amid growing pessimism.
