Our Delegation is glad to have pushed the conversation back toward dialogue between countries as best we could. But as we move forward, we are starting to see more of an understand with our British brethren in the League. In our understanding yet more Mandates being made will be setting a dangerous precedent moving forward. That is we ever felt a less Civilised country is not up the standards of our advanced countries that it will be perfectly fine to just illegally invade them and proclaim ourselves the leader of their country while giving them nominal control over their own lives. While it is always a good idea to move toward a better world, one without Slavery and the ills of the past, we must know that in our actions we do not become a Global bully saying that only our ideas are correct, be it as it may be correct in this time about Slavery and that action. We find it troubling to say the least that we are trying to fight against Slavery in Abyssinia by in affect making them slaves to a higher power all the same.
As such, we are going to have to continue our position that Abyssinia is a sovereign nation. And as such it should be treated as an equal party in this negotiation. If they(The Abyssinians) wish to continue talks, we would be glad to continue to facilitate them. But as of present, it is not fair of our League to just start handing over the rights of Sovereign nations to another because of perceived failings our Western Sensibilities allow us.
If it was not clear before, in this instance the French Republic will be voting yes on these sanctions in the interest of trying to come to a more fair deal for the Abyssinian people moving forward.
