Britain and France and the World Alliance against Italy's handling resumed a tug-of-war, to which Arthur was not surprised at all.
Because it is far away from Europe, Australasia rather enjoyed its sobriety. Moreover, the popular white supremacy policy among Australasians did not foster too much disgust for Italy's massacres in the Abyssinian Empire.
This also gave Arthur a sigh of relief. After all, at this time, Arthur did not want to interfere in Italy's war.
Although Italy was only a very weak enemy, once involved in this war, it meant participating in the chaotic European situation.
This would not only make Britain and France more wary, but also make the newly emerging forces view Australasia as an enemy.
Such obvious behavior of shifting blame to Britain and France was something Arthur would not do, unless public opinion really demanded it.
In order to divert the attention of Australasians, Arthur started to work on the education policy in Australasia.
