SLAVERY.
IN ABYSSINIA. DISCUSSED AT GENEVA. Geneva, September 15. At a meeting of the sub-commission on slavery Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland referred to alleged slavery in Abyssinia. He said lie considered an inquiry necessary and proposed two resolutions, one inviting the Council to inquire in order to report to the next Assembly, and the other that the whole question of slavery in Africa be investigated with the assistance of the most competent administrators. The British delegate pointed out that difficulty was likely to arise if Abyssinia, which was not a member of the League, refused to allow an investigation. It was eventually decided to collate information on the subject and settle the precise method of dealing with it at the next meeting of the sub-com-mittee.—(Reuter.)
