THE ETHIOPIAN UNDERTAKING. “EXERCISE IN MOBILISATION.” (United Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) PARIS, July 31. Signor Mussolini, interviewed by “L’lrvtransigeant,” declared that he would, if necessary, double or treble his present personnel and material in Abyssinia and would by 'September have 800,000 men, half in motorised divisions, distributed where needed on Italy’s European frontiers. He would increase the number to a million if circumstances demanded. Mussolini, however, added: “Nobody will feel any desire to move. The Ethiopian affair is not diminishing my patenti ali ties ; indeed, it is an advantageous exercise in mobilisation, enabling an inventory of our possibilities to he made. There are fishers in troubled waters in Europe, but I have in hand everything necessary to prevent them indulging in their favourite sport.”.
