No Hope of Settlement
Mussolini’s Plan Rejected Abyssinia Would Never Agree United Pi-ess Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright Received Tuesday, 2 a.m. GENEVA, Sept. 23. The Committee of Five rejected Mussolini’s counterproposals, as unacceptable and unsusceptible of discussion within tne framework of the Covenant. The Committee decided to refer the whole dispute back to the Council to which it will report the whole of the negotiations, including Abyssinia’s offer of acceptance of the Committee’s plan as a basis of settlement. Senor Madriaga will see the parties this afternoon, but there is little hope of a change since Italy objects to almost every point in the plan. Furthermore, it is understood Mussolini is annoyed because the Committee ignored his accusations against Abyssinia. Mr. Tecla Hawariat, Abyssinian delegate, told the British United Press correspondent that the Emperor would never agree to Italy’s proposals that the High Commissioner must be an Italian and that there must be an Abyssinian demobilisation. It is believed the Committee will report to-morrow to the Council and meet later in the day.
