THE ABYSSINIA ASSOCIATION
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]
Sia,—May I crave the hospitality of your columns to make an appeal to your readers to enrol themselves as members of the Abyssinia Association ?
The Governments of the world seem every month to pay less and less regard to the sanctity of International Law, and to be more and more ready to accept the faits accomplis which aggression brings about. But it remains true, none the less, that in International Law and in the re-establishment of its binding power there lies the only solid hope of future peace.
There has been more than one attempt to deprive Ethiopia of its rights of representation in the Assembly of the League of Nations in order that Signor Mussolini's delegates may be induced to return. The Abyssinia Association exists to uphold the rights of Ethiopia at Geneva and elsewhere. It has powerful support from leading personalities in this country and abroad. But its work cannot continue effectively unless subscriptions from members, on which it is dependent, can be increased.
The full membership subscription is los., associates 2s. 6d. Contributions should be sent to the Honorary Secretary, Abyssinia Association, 144 Grand Buildings, Trafalgar Square, London, W.C.2.—Yours, Pinup NOEL BAKER, Vice-President. 43 South Eaton Place, S.W. r.
