ITALY AND ABYSSINIA
FRIENDLY NEGOTIATIONS SUCCESS OF MEDIATORS MEMORANDUM TO LEAGUE BOMB DROPPING ALLEGED By Telegraph- Press Assn.— Copyright Ree. 7.30 p.m. Geneva, Jan. 19. Following mediation by M. Pierre Laval and Mr. R. A. Eden, Italy and Abyssinia have agreed to undertake directly friendly negotiations, pending a meeting of the League of Nations Council in May. The Abyssinia memorandum to the League claims that Italian military aircraft reconnaissances are continuing and that bombs were dropped on an Abyssinian post at Gerlogubi. The memorandum contains details of events before and after the Ualual fighting in which 107 Abyssinians were killed and 45 wounded.
The text of the Abyssinian Government’s memorandum is based on Article 11, paragraph 2, of the Covenant of the League of Nations, and requests that the matter be placed on the Council agenda. In pursuance of the British Government’s efforts to use their good offices with both sides to ameliorate the crisis, Mr. Eden, together with M. Laval, had a private meeting with Baron Aloisi yesterday.
