EUROPE PEACE IS HANGING BY SLENDER THREAD i W h i I e Ethiopian War Rages, Europe Waits Fearfully (Editor's note: The following dispatch from Ed L. Keen. United Press vice-president for Europe, who is in general charge of the I United Press coverage of the war, explains in simple terms the ex- ' tent of the threat of the war's spreading to Europe). By Ed L. Keen. UP. Vice-President for Europe (Copyright, 1935, by UP). London. Oct. 4. — (U.R) — While war rages today in East Africa, peace in Europe hangtt by a very j slender thread. Even before military penalties are voted by the league—if they are voted, there is constant danger. in view of the naval and air concentration and the mining of the Mediterranean, of some accident or incident which might bring Italy into war in Europe. The danger of such an incident was illustrated today when shipping circles reported Italian ports were being mined and all Dollar line vessels were ordered to omit I calls at such ports. For weeks, I other lines have been ordering I their vessels to detour from the ; Mediterranean, giving as the reason the high war risk insurance rates —in itself a significant omen. When Premier Benito Mussolini told me in an interview six weeks ago that "settlement of the Ethi--1 opian problem must be something I radical and conclusive," and "Italy will pursue her aims with Geneva, \ without Geneva or against Geneva." I was convinced he was not bluffing.
