Once the policy of imperialism is admitted right, the wisdom of England's latest move is thrown into sharp relief by the new obstacles strewn in Mussolini's path in the Aegean and Adriatic by Roumania and Jugo-Slavia, obstacles well calculated to turn the attention of the Quirinal toward Egypt.

S. interests at the- drafting of the Treaty of Lausanne (TIME Aug. 6, 1923 et ante).* They wondered at his prodigious activities in directing U.
