BETWEEN THE LINES
(by Dean Gordon HaneVk for AND)
THE REAL TROUBLE
When Italy went into Ethiopia a few years ago
and slaughtered its defenseless inhabitants, it had the
tacit unVlerstanding with England and France that
its course had their approval. Two years before Mus
solini ordered his armies t| 1 strike, he had the date
marked on his calendar; and France and Britain
knew it was marked. Ethiopia was a member of
Britain’s Leaguei of Nations arid appealed for help,
But no help was forthcoming; and £»;• the little empire
was subjugated by Italy that tried out new methods
of modern warfare upon a tribal people and gloated
over its success. It is true that France and Britain
talked about sanctions, but this was a hypocritical
gesture to appease the international indignation that
their treachery rightly incurred.
Haile Selassie made the grave mistake of taking
seriously the pledges of the League of Nations and
while he should have been occupied with the defenses
of his country, he was drinking from golden goblets,
wearing his white trousers and carrying the wrhile
his inevitable umbrella. Umbrella carrying Selassie
was duped and so was umbrella carrying Chamber
lain. We hope that our statesmen will not take to
their umbrellas for whenever the statesmen take to
their umbrellas, their nation^ must take to the bushes
for protection*. It is true that the French did not
have their umbrella statesmen, but these walked in
the shadow olf Chamberlain’s. With outstretched
hads Ethiopians cried unto God and Britain’s League
of Nations for help in her distress, but she found
herself forsaken and her allies in federation with her
enemies. This was the boldest stroke of internation
al hypocrisy every witnessed before the bar of public
opinion.
Today we read that Great Britain with her back
the wall is acclaimirtg Ethiopia as her ally. The
Ethiopia that was sacrificed a few years ago is now
hailed as her comrade in arms. Great promises which
she will never fulfill are being vouchsafed unto Eth
iopia in the hope that even the little help that Ethio
pia may render in her prostrate cotaditidu, may re
lieve some of Britain’s pressure. When a so-called
mighty nation like Britain seeks help from poor
Ethiopia whom she betrayed before the startled gaze
/;f a wondering world, thirigs must be serious indeed.
It all goes to show what England is at heart. A
side from its great protelstatiorfs about its contribu
tions to western civilization; aside from its pretenses
at international paternalism, the fact must be faced
that Britain has dlone her share of the dirty work in
this world. Germany is not the only international
danger this world must deal with. After the French
bore the brunt of the fighting on the First World
War’s western front, England imposed upon Germ
any a shameful peace, and it is this that largely made
Adolph Hitler possible. It is safe to say that Hitler
was “made in Britain” Wrhen Britain recognized
Haile Selassie as the ruler o*f an empire that was sac
rificed on the altar of international duplicity, we get
an idea of the real trouble with the modern world.
For quite a huridred years Britain has ruled the
waves and the miles and the modern world is largely
of her making. The heart ctf Britain can best be seen
in her recent transactiorts with Ethiopia. To pro
claim as ally one recently betrayed by her is the

height of international hypdcrisy. In other words,
Britain can use Ethiopia now and she so proceeds.
Britain used France for many generations to bear the
brunt of her fightihg, and now Frace is no more, she
turns to puny Ethiopia whom she stoted by and saw
despoiled. She stood idly by and saw a cripple struck
down by a giant and offered no succor.
It is this kind of spirit that has brought damna
tion to Europe. It is this kind of spirit that will ever
make the nations mourn. It is this kind of spirit that
will keep this world with Hitlers. So we are justifi
ed in saying that the real trouble with Europe today
is that it has been largely ruled by a nation that will
use those whom she has betrayed. Britain is not in
terested in the restoration of Selassie’s kingdom but
in the preservation of her own hegemony. The REAL
TROUBLE.
