It keeps men dignant communist declaring that my fascism open at the moment To terminate the agree-. ment on paper and to clear the way for the visit of a British minister, it argues, are now the most pressing needs. The tragic part of the whole sanctions business is that it did not achieve what it was intended to achieve. Weeks and weeks of talk preceded the application of economic pressure on Italy, all of which, of course, gave the aggressor nation adequate opportunity to obtain the essential materials which had to be bought in foreign countries.

How she looked after herself in this regard is best reflected in the result of her east African venture, which in the strict military sense is now a sordid piece of history. Peace in Europe will hang by a very slender thread until France and Germany adopt a much less hostile attitude towards each other than has been the case in recent months. Great Britain would welcome nch a desirable improvement in the relations between those two countries and could be depended upon to use her good offices if given the chance and the prospects of ah agreement appear at all feasible.

Recently the Birmingham Jewelers Amo- elation protested against the competition In the supply of souvenirs from abroad for King George's Jubilee last year. A meeting was later held to discuss the subject of application being mad to the Board of Trade for Increased tariffs on foreign coronation souvenirs. Leaders of a trade which employs 30,000 skilled workers expressed indignation at the competition. It is estimated that the coronation souvenir trade will be worth more than 1,000,000.
