ABYSSINIA'S APPEAL
AMERICAN REPLY LEAGUE ARBITRATING NEW YORK, July 6. Without waiting for the cabled text of the Abyssinian appeal to America to invoke the Briand-Kellogg Pact against Italy, President Roosevelt is sending a reply pointing out that while his Government is interested in the maintenance of peace in all parts of the world, "the controversy which unhappily has arisen between your Government and the Italian Government is now in process of arbitration by the League of Nations."
TURNED DOWN
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT
WASHINGTON, July 6.
The United States has deposited the Italo-Ethiopian troubles back on the other side of the Atlantic, but said.it was loath to believe that' either nation would resort to other than pacific means to settle the dispute.
The Note which the Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, sent to the Emperor of Ethiopia in response to the plea.that the United States invoke the Kellogg-Briand Pact is interpreted widely as an effort to avoid entanglement. Though declining to interfere, the United States pointed out that both Italy and Abyssinia signed the Pact of Paris. The Note suggested that the League of Nations was already arbitrating and should continue to do so.
