ITALIAN MEMORANDUM
REPLY TO LEAGUE
COMMITTEE
COLONIAL AGREEMENT
(Received October 8, 2.15 p.m.) • GENEVA, October 7. An Italian memorandum, replying to the report of the Committee of Thirteen, declares that the tripartite agreement of 1906 provided for territorial union of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland by a 4 line west of Addis Ababa, and that this is explicit., A safeguard clause suffices to indicate that the interests of .Italy, are entitled to a safeguard. Moreover, such rights, although they might contradict the Covenant, cannot be considered as a lapse. Such an argument might have serious consequences, as most of the colonial empires of the world are based on such treaties. The^memorandum adds, presumably re.ferring to Anglo-Egyptian. relations: "Is it proposed to deny the validity of the colonial agreement which Italy concluded with Britain and France regarding Ethiopia, while other agreements, which are still retained, prevent nations which are already declared to be independent from entering the League?"
