NOT CONQUERED
Abyssinia To Resume Resistance MINISTER’S STATEMENT (United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 9.5 p.m.) London, June 11. “Abyssinia is still unconquered; the war goes on,” said Mr Herrouy, the former- Foreign Minister of Abyssinia, on his arrival in London, where he resumes his post as advisor to Haile Selassie. “The Government still rules from Gore, in the west, where there are 10,000 well-armed warriors. Ras Desta, in the south, has 15,000 men, and scattered troops from Ogaden are reforming. The rains have immobilized the Italians, whose aeroplanes are helpless because of low clouds, and whose roads are useless. They are prisoners in their own garrisons. “The Abyssinian armies will resume the resistance in October, when the rains are over. It will be mountain warfare. One-third of the country is still intact.”
