...that the Ethiopian war is no world-shaking matter on which the League's future or Britain's depends but a mere affair of "some localized area." Last week the appearance of this phrase in a speech by Squire Baldwin was a leading development. Though some excited citizens still put the issue to themselves in terms of the necessity of preserving Ethiopian independence at all costs, many a British citizen was commencing to ask himself last week why Ethiopia must be aided to remain savage and backward.
