Senator Walsh decried the fàilure of the Great War to "make the world safe for democracy." He said democracy had never been at such a low ebb and in such peril throughout the world as at the present time. E Disregard of pledges and cómmitments is widely prevalent among certain aggressor Powers, he said. These nations have turned to pounce ing upon weak nations while rejecting previous promises assumed io-have been made in good faith, he declared.
Senator Walsh pointed out China and Ethiopia as victims of aggressor nations no longer fulfilling' previous pledges.
"Japan's campaign in China," he said, "is predicated on the suppose tion—which events may ' prove erroneous—that China is no match for the Japanese military machine."
Commenting of Ex-Emperor Haile Selassie's recent futile appeal to the League of Nations for restoration of his authority in Ethiopia, Senator Walsh said the League "failed to save dying Ethiopia, although the League was" established to protect the rights of small nations."
