LEAGUE PROCEDURE.
COUNCIL MAY REPORT. ITALIANS’ GLIB TALK. (Times Cables.) LONDON, Sept. 25. The Geneva correspondent of the Times says that the League Council’s most probable procedure on September 26 is under Article 15 of the Covenant, providing that the Council shall draw up its own report and recommendations after conciliation has failed.
Italians at Geneva speak glibly of Italy’s departure from the League if Article 15 is invoked, hut this may he merely intended to impress. Nevertheless, even the most ardent seekers for a basis of compromise are beginning to be discouraged, though some profess to see signs of approaching Italian conversion.
Meanwhile, on the Abyssinian side, fear of an “incident” providing an occasion for an Italian incursion into Abyssinian territory is now uppermost, leading to urgent repetition of the suggestion that a League Commission should be sent to Abyssinia to observe the frontiers and make sure that deliberate provocation does not occur.. The length of the frontiers and the time needed to send out an adequate corps of observers are obvious objections to the scheme, but the fact that it is being pressed indicates the form which Abyssinian expectations of Italian attack have now taken.
