HUNTING FOR A FORMULA.

CASE FOR THE ETHIOPIANS,

PRESENTATION BY FRENCHMAN

(Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) LONDON, July 31

The Australian Press Association’s correspondent at Geneva says that the League Council met in the Disarmament Conference Chamber, delegates passing a glass case containing millions of signatures, from all parts of the world, affirming a desire for peace, presented to the Disarmament Conference in 1932. *. A picturesque figure was the bearded diminutive Tecla Hawarist (Abyssinian Minister at Paris).. Though Abyssinia is not a member of the Council, both Hawarist and Professor Jeze (Abyssinia’s legal adviser) were invited to attend. The fact that Professor Jeze is a Frenchman illustrates the extent to which Abyssinia is obliged to rely on foreigners to present her case to the world. The meeting produced no essential change in the situation. As Professor Jeze and Baron Aloisi (Italy) each reiterated the conviction that the other s country was responsible for the temporary breakdown in the work or the Conciliation Commission, some hunting for a formula among the Powers mainly concerned, before the Council reassembles to-morrow, is indicated.

ITALY SEEKS TRADE CREDIT.

LONDON NOT FAVOURABLE.

This Day, 9.5 a.m.) LONDON, July 31

The financial editor of ‘‘The Daily Telegraph,” says that inquiries have been made in London with a view to raising a fresh trade credit for Italy. They are unlikely to succeed because the City is not disposed to extend credit which might, directly or indirectly be used for wav purposes. Certainly authorities would discourage it.
