ITALIAN PROPAGANDA
ENGLAND AS SCAT^E&OATJ
LEADERSHIP OF ABYSSINIANS
(Received February 12, 10.30 p.m.) j LONDON, February 11. Though only yesterday Mr. Anthony; Eden in the House of Commons disclosed official steps to refute the Italian broadcast sjpry that most, of Ras Desta's troops in the battle on January, 17 were commanded by British officers, messages from Rome indicate that the morning papers continue to make England a scapegoat for the war, with an announcement centred in the main pages. "The Negus's military adviser is an Englishman, Colonel Holt. All the Abyssinians' ammunition comes from England." The worst feature of this baseless propaganda, which is described in London as ludicrous, lies ! in the fact that the announcement was placed alongside the largest list of casualties the Italians have yet published.
