Excerpt from Tripoli and the Treaties: Britain's Duty in This War, A Plain Statement of Facts for the Man in the Street

Anything more wicked than the Italian seizure Of Tripoli it is impossible to conceive. It is as if the Author of all Evil had deliberately said to his fiends in council, Go to, let us see whether or not the conscience of the world is dead. We pricked it with Morocco, it did not stir. We seared it with Bosnia and the Herzegovina, and it remained impassive. Perhaps it is really dead. But let us make certain. Therefore let us create a crime so ¿agrant, compounded out of outrages so inexcusable, that if there be even a lone glimmering spark of vitality left in the moral sense of the world, it must be fanned into a ¿ame. If the conscience of mankind will stand the Italian seizure of Tripoli it Will stand anything. Therefore let us try it on.
