ITALY AND LEAGUE
THE BOMBING CHARGES
ROME, January 17.
The fact that Italy has decided to attend the League Council meeting does not imply active participation as the opinion is still held at Rome that the council will not achieve anything important. Signor Mussolini, however, desires that Baron Aloisi-be on the spot to supply any information required about the alleged Abyssinian atrocities and to rebut the Red Cross bombing charges.
Signor Suvich, Foreign Undc-r-Secretary, handed 'the Swedish Ambassador a formal Note rejecting the Swedish contention that bombs were 'aimed at the ambulances and asserting that the airman aimed at legitimate military objectives.
The Italian Government is increasingly sensitive of foreign criticisms of the army's slow advance, and bitterly resents talk of inactivity.
Italian newspapers draw attention to the closing of the second month of sanctions, which, they declare, finds Italy even stronger than before, proving, according to Signor Mussolini's paper, the "Popolo d'ltalia," that "Italy cannot be coerced, humiliated, and suffocated."
