ONLY FAITH IN LEAGUE LEFT
PATHETIC ETHIOPIAN APPEAL
(Received 1.30 a.m.) GENEVA, October 23
Haile Selassie has sent to the League of Nations a pathetic appeal from’Ras Imru, head of the provisional government at Gore, which states: “A good people, victims of terrorism, cry for justice to the Almighty and to the League. We have faith that this cry will be heard. “We beseech Your Majesty to

The message adds: “The Abyssinian government is still sovereign over all regions in West Abyssinia, but the aggressors are planning renewed violence to wipe out the government and destroy a peace-loving diligent people.
