EFFECT OF THE DECISION.
NO HOSTILITY BEFORE JANUARY PENALTY FOR A BREACH.
OUTLAWRY AMONG NATIONS
(Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) GENEVA, September 26.
“One of the greatest decisions in history,” was a delegate’s description of the Council’s action. This well summarises the general feeling in League circles. . .
The Council, in order to avoid giving umbrage to Italy, has hitherto avoided raising the question as to which article would govern its .procedure. There can henceforth he no farther evasion of this issue.
The position is that for three months after the adoption of the i eport under Paragraph 4, Article 15, of the Committee of Thirteen, stating the facts of the dispute and the recommendations thereon, no member of the League may resort to war without incurring penalties under Article 16. This means, in effect, that Italy will become an outlaw nation if she resorts war in Abyssinia before January.
It will obviously bo difficult to secure unanimity among the Committee of Thirteen, especially in view of the opinion of M. Litvinoff and Titulescu and M. Teufik Aras that the plan offered to Abyssinia transcended their view of what w r as due to the integrity of any State member of the League. In view of the ending of the rainy season in Abyssinia the committee will expedite its report, completion of which is expected within ten days.
