APPEAL TO LEAGUE
ABYSSINIA AND ITALY. ITALIANS DENY AGGRESSION. By Telegraph—Press Assn,—Copyright. London, Jan. 3. Abyssinia has requested the League to apply Article 11 of the Covenant permitting action directed at safeguarding peace. Italy denies aggression. The Secretary-General of the League has telegraphed Abyssinia urging every peaceful measure. A communication from Addis Ababa on the recent Ualual and other frontier incidents, received at the Secretariat of the League of Nations, was published at Geneva to-day.
While persisting in the protest against the "gradual encroachment” by Italy on Abyssinia territory, the tone of the communication is conciliatory, and the readiness of the Abyssinian Government to satisfy Italian demands, if their responsibility for frontier fighting is proved before an impartial authority, is expressed. The reasonable attitud; displayed by Abyssinia is welcomed at London. The British Government had been requested by the Italian Government to use its good offices in the matter at Addis Ababa and Its representatives both there and at Rome have sought to exert a calming influence.
