ACCORD WITH ITALY
EMPEROR PREPARED TO MAKE SACRIFICES HAILE SELASSIE DENIES HINT OF ABDICATION LONDON, September 30. Quick wits at Geneva scented a hint of the Emperor’s abdication in the speech of the Abyssinian delegate, Taezaz, at the assembly when he said that to save human lives and to maintain an independent home for his people, the Emperor must now regard himself as bound to consent to the sacrifice of his rights as guaranteed under the covenant. <
The Abyssinian Legation in London promptly denied that the Emperor has any intention of abdicating. It later amplified this announcement to the effect that the Emperor, while never giving up his sovereignty, was always willing to make sacrifices for the purpose of accord with Italy. • Any idea of Haile Selassie bargaining with Italy for the retention of part of his former unoccupied territory is dismissed in Rome as ridiculous.
